If you go to Nifflas>Knytt Underground>World>Music you find the music used in Knytt Underground.
Some of these pieces I don't think I've managed to hear in the game yet!
Some of my favorites are "Underwater Lab" and "Scales of Zordium".
(probably because I played Within a Deep Forest :))
I'm curious, what do other people like?
-
I have a special fondness for the tunes that from Within a Deep Forest, too. First time they came up it was quite nostalgic, I must say.
-
Yeah, they are indeed great pieces of music. Although I do like the original ones better than the ones in this game, due to the fact that they sort of flow out of that awesome music fibe and back in. I can listen to the underwater lab from WaDF for hours on end, so yeah.... but indeed those are really good tunes.
Most are not really tunes but more sort of ambiences. I love the ambience from the church area, with the congos. Really mysterious feel yet at the same time just awesome to listen to.
-
My favorite is also "Underwater Lab" and I like it more than original.
-
My favorite is "We're Together Here and Now" - this is the peaceful tune that plays in that large colorful forest area near the beginning of Ch.3 (first song in the Together folder).
Another tune I sometimes put on loop to listen to is the music in the last bell room (Music for Great Artifacts, last song).

Track names are in bold in case you don't want to read me rambling!
I'm really fond of D Fast's contributions to Knytt Underground, I feel they're some of the best songs he's made. The new versions of Scales of Zordium and Underwater Lab Tune are fantastic, while Vanishing is my favourite new original piece.
The dance music tunes like Robotic Dance Party and Dub Dictator are a lot of fun to listen to. Some of the Figure Space loops are also quite enjoyable (though a few are weird and vaguely horrible). Mofa Dabusu is fantastically scary. And Jejobo Redy has resided in my head since spending two days stuck on the challenge where it plays. In order to keep myself sane while dying repeatedly in that area, I also whistled variations over the top of the tune, so it may have depth for me that it doesn't for others. Still, I was really happy to hear a remixed version in another area.
Ljus has very nice music, though something about it gets on my nerves in a way I can't articulate. It reminds me a lot of Kraid's Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UGKCvIrF_o), mostly because of the first couple of notes.
But ultimately, I think my favourite song is Having Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun!

Nifflas with Ride The Train to Denmark. Mainly because hearing the tune gave me a reason to explore before actually completing the game as I heard that before even a beta was released that contained the full game. Also, not sure on the actual title as I don't have the game with me, but I at least remember part of the title, I wish you to exist to me is one song I always hear and get sort of teary-eyed from it. Also, I quite like how when you start the first chapter, you are greeted with the original version of the DFast tune North & South and not the Knytt Stories version. I always have liked that version better, though the weird Jam version which is not included is nice as well. So much good music in this game, I sometimes feel that my music wouldn't have been up to par with it!
-
It is not really my favorite, but when I heard the new version of North & South from D Fast at the beginning of the game, I was like O_o C)p :) (memories...)
-
Pretty crazy to hear people getting nostalgic over the music. Glad you like it!

Its your fault. You make good music! :nuts:

My favourite song, at least of what I have found in the main game, is Glitch Beauty, from the crystalline caves in Chapter 3.
I also very much liked both versions of 'Having Fun Fun Fun'. (plays in the dream interlude)

Wow, thanks! I'm glad you liked that one. It was a great honor to be able to contribute a couple of tracks for KU. :)

Oh, so it's from you! Aaawesome! C)
Your nifty tunes on soundcloud are also a pleasure to listen to, and I wonder: do you plan updating it with some more recent stuff as well?

Thank you! :)
Yeah, I'm actually going to update my portfolio site with a lot more content very soon now, just have Nordic Game Jam in Copenhagen to go to first. :P The new site will have various SoundCloud "albums" with different styles of music I've made, so stay tuned! It'll appear over at www.fredrikhathen.com hopefully in a week or so!

Have I commented here yet? No? Well okay then.
Like most people I love D Fast's stuff. I also enjoy "Sugar Wires" because it reminds me of Zepsi Industries. "Mattebos Mandolin" (the one that plays at Cilia's parents' house) is another favorite. Finally, I hold a special place in my heart for the spooky whistling kettle of "Something's Out There". It never ceases to terrify me.

Wow, thanks! That's actually my second contribution to KU. I'm glad you like it! :D That whistling sound is actually me making spooky noises through my ocarina.
(I'd like to note for the record that I literally started crying tears of happiness when I heard the new version of the Underwater Lab music. D Fast is just awesome and a very big source of inspiration for me.)
-
As much as I love the Underwater Lab Tune...
Please Exist, I'd Appreciate It is by far my favorite new tune.
-
Let's see... I love Dark Cyan, Out There, Please exist is pretty awesome as well, Together...
So much awesomeness!
-
I don't know what it's called, but that secret town that's lower than the map will show, I loved it's music.
-
All of it! I don't have the soundtrack yet so I don't know the names.
Knytt Underground is right up there along with Amanita Design's games (Machinarium, Samorost, Botanicula) with incredible ambient music that's an inseparable part of the atmosphere and overall playing experience. The music works really well with the visuals to create a unique world in your head that you want to get lost in. ;)
Edit: LOVE the short piece that plays at the fairy springs (where you meet Dora and Cilia for the first time) and the similar tune in the area immediately before it (in Chapter 1)
-
Indye or maybe Ljus. They are so epic and fun to play the drums to.
