A little thing I imagined a few months ago.
In an alternate universe in October 2004, Microsoft and Sumthing Else Music Works collaborated to create a soundtrack of Windows XP’s music. It features the OOBE music, the startup and shutdown sounds, the tour music and the sample music. It even includes the MIDIs and Press the Green Button’s songs as bonus tracks.
(originally I was going to include the other sounds during it but I changed my mind)
1. Stan LePard - Velkommen (0:00) (note that this is the shortened version that was allegedly intended for Windows 98, a remastered full version exists now but not at the time of the video upload)
2. Bill Brown - Startup (3:38)
3. Bill Brown - Tour Intro (3:44)
4. Bill Brown - Tour 1 (4:30)
5. Bill Brown - Tour 2 (6:06)
6. Bill Brown - Tour 3 (7:39)
7. Bill Brown - Tour 5 (9:13) (can’t find a Tour 4 on Bill Brown’s Soundcloud, either he misnumbered it or Tour 4 was the track that went unused in the final release)
8. Bill Brown - Tour 6 (10:45)
9. David Byrne - Like Humans Do (12:18)
10. Seattle Symphony - Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, opus 125: Molto Vivace (15:50) (unfortunately I don’t have the full length version yet, so I just used the short version included in XP)
11. New Stories - Highway Blues (17:06)
12. Bill Brown - Shutdown (25:12)
Bonus Tracks:
13. Nathan Grigg - Flourish (25:15)
14. David Yackley - One Stop (26:43)
15. Nathan Grigg - Town (30:50)
16. Press the Green Button - Home of The Future (32:10)
17. Press the Green Button - Remote Control (35:21)
18. Press the Green Button - Online (38:18)
19. Press the Green Button - Enjoy (41:48)
- None of the commercial songs are included, as the licensing costs would probably have been too high to justify for a niche soundtrack release.
- None of the unused tour music is included, as I don’t have any of them in lossless quality.
- While Velkommen and the three MIDIs were not originally made for Windows XP, Microsoft chose to include them here due to their strong association with the OS.
