Note, not all music heard in the game is a proper music track. For example, the re-used track "Iron Fist" from Command & Conquer - The Covert Operations (OST), which is played at the NightClub Row street area, is a SFX sound. Support for playing such tracks via the debugger may be added at a later time. Also note, not all of the tracks listed in Frank Klepacki's web page for the game are available in the game; they are also not in "removed content" since they don't appear (fully) anywhere in the game's resource files. Such tracks are "Main Theme", "Bradbury Building", "Taffy's Club", "Bounce" and "Good Night". Conversely, there are in-game tracks, like "One more time, love", that do not appear in the official OST. | Note, not all music heard in the game is a proper music track.
