Did you use the App "Figure" by Propellerhead in order to create these tracks? And if it is the case, do the names of the tracks have any link with the one the app imposes :) ?

Yes, Nifflas did. :)

But it does not explain the names. Can you find that relation too?

Huh, I always thought that they were weird things involving the credits, that each level was created by someone who helped work on the game and the title was some anagram of their name in some other language. Guess I'm completely wrong.

I'm not sure what explanation could be left? As thibthib (pretty much) said, Figure randomly generates song titles. Those titles appear in the rooms the songs play in. Do the names have some even deeper significance we're missing?

From what Nifflas told me, yes. But I haven't used Figure myself, so I can't test it.
EDIT: I mean, I can't test if I misunderstood Nifflas.

Sorry if I wasn't supposed to read this, as I haven't played the game yet ( other than the demo of course ) but I just can't resist a good brainteaser.

There are well above 100 characters here and 20 unique letters ( the ones missing are c, q and z ). The characters, in order of frequency are:
25   e
19   o
18   a
13   u
13   y
11   f
9   l
9   h
8   v
7   j
7   b
6   s
6   i
6   m
6   g
5   t
5   r
4   k
4   n
4   d
3   p

Without repeated words they become:
Freq.   Letter
22   e
17   a
17   o
13   y
12   u
10   f
8   l
7   h
7   j
7   v
7   b
6   s
6   i
6   m
6   g
5   t
4   r
4   n
4   d
3   k
3   p

In Swedish, A is a much more frequent letter than in English, and C is a much less frequent ( all things considered ), so it seems likely that if it is some kind of anagram, it will be in Swedish; and it certainly seems to point that way.
Still let's continue looking into it for now.
