Portal Complete Soundtrack [PC Rip] 

Ost means cheese in danish

Who else thinks that Portal is part horror game?

Self-Esteem Fund is one of those songs that I can't believe humans created.

The music in this game is so haunting but relaxing.

The music is creepy and it reflects perfectly what's going on. Imagine if you were suddenly placed into Aperture Science doing the tests for GLaDOS, in a facility deep underground, lonely with no one around but a companion cube. It's very bleak.

Self-Esteem Fund gives me a feeling of isolation and the complete absence of hope the hope that this isolation may be broken at some point

This soundtrack makes me feel lonely.

oh god the nostalgia from when i first played this game.. I feel portal 1 was much more creepy than portal 2, to be honest. The music is so.. haunting. It's perfect for the atmosphere. Just, you know, waking up in this place (god knows how long it's been since everyone there died) with nobody but that homocidal AI that actually has intentions of killing you.

i love how the whole soundtrack has no organic instruments or noises, just creepy electric synth noises. it reflects just how devoid of life aperture is after glados's massacre.

Self-Esteem Fund is a composition of spectacular bottom, makes him feel to the player the loneliness in which the personage of the game lives. A masterpiece!

My feelings: Prodecural Jiggle Bone - kinda scary and disturbing, sounds like good theme for advanced, modern place. Fits perfectly with sounds of elevator and fluorescent lamps. Self Esteem Fund - makes you feel lonely. When I heard it for the first I thought about massive, modern, calm place with a lot of people, machines and SCIENCE. But that's wrong. There is no people. All rooms behind windows are empty. Everything seems abandoned but doesn't seem old. You feel lonely, there is a big world in front of you but you are trapped in this place with emotionless computer voice. Then you realize SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. Self Esteem Fund feels like good, old, nostalgic years that passed away (2000s - 2019)

No Cake for You still gives me chills, the first time I found one of those hidden areas I just sat there and listened...

Jeez. It came out almost 10 years ago. What a masterpiece.

there's just something about this soundtrack that just strikes a certain primal chord with people.. with it fitting the theme of waking up, dazed and confused, in a cold sterile laboratory environment, no one else around, no way out, completely alone, with nothing by a synthesized voice telling you to perform a series of "tests" and guiding you through the series of rooms, all you have to get you through it all is an untested and dangerous wormhole gun, your wit, and your drive to get through to the end to have some delicious cake... portal has long sense buried itself deep within my soul and you could say it changed all who played it in a profound way, everything a video game should mean to the gamer and more. unique, surreal, avant-garde, and amazingly satisfying when you solve a puzzle. 5/5 for the game and soundtrack.

People say self esteem fund is creepy, I find it somewhat comforting. It's always felt like a mysterious yet soothing like you're home but your also in a dream state.

0:00 Procedural Jiggle Bone 4:34 Self-Esteem Fund 8:05 Subject Name Here 9:49 Party Escort 14:11 Taste of Blood 17:17 Android Hell 21:03 4000 Degrees Kelvin 22:04 Stop What You Are Doing 26:04 No Cake for You 30:09 You're Not a Good Person 31:34 You Can't Escape 37:57 Still Alive 40:53 Still Alive (Radio Mix)

Never heard this OST until now, holy shit this is probably what will get me to ambient music. It's so chilling yet haunting.

Rest assured that all Aperture Science technology is operable up to 4000 degrees Kelvin.

Kelly Bailey is a genius.

Going to go with the popular opinion on this one - Self-Esteem Fund is terrifying. Love this game's music, secretly wish the sequel had the same direction to it.

"No cake for you" is probably the saddest song i've heard in my life. probably because it is played in those "hidden" rooms where someone used to live. shit this game touched the emotions. At first i thought it was just a game for the lulz. But the backstory is very rich.

This comment section in a nutshell 50% Self Esteem Fund 49% No Cake For You 1% Other things

You could almost imagine the steady and subtle progression of the soundtrack as the gradual state of the outside world and what's going on out there. If we go by the time frame, Portal takes place just after the Combine have taken over, thanks to Breen surrendering Humanity to them, and the tone starts off as a false sense of sincerity and security, slowly breaks into a comforting dissonance, then isolation, calamity and a consuming existential void, but eventually it starts to get serious, darker and tense, to match the crisis going on outside the facility which GLaDOS is trying to prevent from breaching while trying to keep you away from her, along the way we slowly discover the facility is completely empty, all personnel absent, sentries are deployed to kill you as you reach deeper into the complex, going where you're not supposed to be, unaware that the world outside is being picked to the bone by aliens, Humanity is being enslaved, processed and controlled, brainwashed, the former administrator of Black Mesa is now the administrator of Earth, it's just a complete and utter hell for all, and the final moments are just complete and utter chaos, the impending sense of doom that hits when you realize GLaDOS was keeping the Combine out of the Enrichment Center, and you just destroyed her, giving them the chance to break in. And you glimpse the outside as you return to consciousness for a moment, the ultimate systems have crashed for good, but inevitably you are dragged back inside the facility and forced into cryogenic stasis, the quest for freedom is futile after all, but you could suppose that you're better off inside than outside.

I guess C418 had been inspired in some of this tracks to compose Minecraft ambient music. Both games has beautiful tracks.

4000 Degrees Kelvin- The end of level 19 is my FAVORITE part of the whole game because of the music. It reappears at the end of the game too. So intense!

No Cake for You is just something else, incredible 0_o

I think OST is very underrated element of Portal, especially dark ambient tracks

My friend says he hates Portal. When I asked "Why on earth would you hate such a great game," he responded with "I don't like puzzle games." Puzzle game? Is that all he thinks this is?

This soundtrack actually scared me while I was playing Portal. It felt like I was more alone than I'd ever be. It's so chilling, and it works perfectly for the atmosphere the game's going for.

There aren't enough comments talking about "Taste of Blood". It's my favorite track in the soundtrack and it just feels so cold and haunting yet relaxing at the same time

My worst and most depressing thoughts in high school came from Self-Esteem Fund. I've had music bring tears to my eyes, but that composition unleashes pure despair. It's an anomaly, just how potent it is.

14 years and this soundtrack is still a masterpiece

Procedural Jiggle Bone also plays in Chambers 08 and 19, which I think is a great place to put them. Most notably at 0:45, this soundtrack gives off an eerie sense of apprehension and buildup. Chamber 08 introduces the acid floor, marking the change-up between tutorials and the real deal. With this soundtrack playing at Chamber 19 as you ride along that scaffold, you can just feel that something isn't right. What is there at the end of the test? It's the perfect buildup to 4000 Degrees Kelvin, when plays at the end of the chamber, and GLaDOS reveals her true intentions.

I like how it's calming and uncalming at the same time.

I honnestly prefered the style of the first portal over portal 2

Much better than Portal 2.... i wish P2 OST was as deep, profound and melancholic as this.

Quite a lot of comments here about "Self-esteem fund" and "No cake for you" - but the one that got me first was "Subject name here".

Android Hell, No cake for you, Stop What You Are Doing and Self_Esteem Fund are the most "Lonely" Music i have ever heard

Taste of Blood is a sleeper and most underrated track in this album.

I got excited when i'm listening to 4000 Degrees Kelvin.

This soundtrack is the main inspiration for a soundtrack I'm developing for a video game me and my friend are currently working on, which excites me even more.

40:55 *jumpscare* ... It was my freakin ringtone for years ...

Timeless classic. Portal has everything going for it, humor, gameplay, atmosphere, ideas, puzzle design. Brilliant in every way.

''The Enrichment Center is committed to the well being of all participants. Cake and grief counselling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all.''

Hmm...yes. This takes me back about 11 years ago, when I first played Portal. It's a soundtrack that I've only now, in the past year, have learned to appreciate. Portal 2's OST is great, but this...this is true art in the fullest sense of the word.

This is the perfect soundtrack for doing homework at night. 21:03 is for when you realize that it's half past midnight and the assignment is due first thing the next day.

I think this stands alongside Quake as one of the scariest (at times) OSTs out there.

All other tracks: scary ambience that makes you feel uneasy. Still alive and radio: Happy motives go weeeeeee!

You know something interesting I've noticed? There was a poll on the Escapist, initiated very soon after Portal 2 came out, asking which Portal game people preferred. Roughly 80% of people voted for Portal 2, and 20% for Portal. A clear, large majority for Portal 2. Then I saw that there was another poll asking the same question, but this one was put up in 2014, years after Portal 2 was out. And this time, it was almost 50/50; I think it was roughly 53% for Portal 2 and 47% for Portal. Now, as someone who strongly prefers the first game, I thought this was interesting and it suggests that at first people preferred Portal 2 because they had just experienced it and were thinking about how much more stuff there was in it; after all, it is a much "bigger" game in a sense. But after that died down, maybe the more timeless genius of the first game started to show through more in comparison?

My favorites are 0:00 - 21:03. They really help me when I am working, mainly because they inspire me.

Imagine playing this game at 1am and you hear your bed move, you live alone.

I'm a huge fan of Steve Roach so much of this OST makes me feel right at home...~ God this game was good.

Just discovered this game today. Sick stuff

i think Portal 2 really should've had more creepy moments like this. at times P2 feels almost separate from the first game, just atmospherically; i think the thing is, P2 feels alive... this game feels dead (in a good way). like nobody's there, just this soulless voice telling you to risk your life in these tests... it's so disturbing. i think the second game could've done something similar with the part when you're in the backup testing track

Selected Ambient Works Vol 3

Me while beating chambers in Portal: Something is not right. This is puzzle game but everything seems abandoned. Am I supposed to BE here? Where did everyone go? Why music is so disturbing? Me when I go to fire: I KNEW SOMETHING IS WRONG I NEED TO ESCAPE!!! Me while hiding in old, rusty rooms: Damn, what happened here? This computer makes something evil... Where are people? These messages on walls... Me while final fight: COME HERE!!!

Still Alive is a great cherry on top this depressing cake.

4000 Degrees Kelvin was one of the few tracks I liked as soon as I heard it.

14 minutes in and it feels like 4 have passed. This is one beautiful ost.

Taste of blood, in my opinion, gives the most feeling of the effects of imprisonment and isolation, both mixed the the sense of danger that lurks the farther you go.

One of best gaming soundtracks.

the song "self esteem fund" brings back so many memories... :,(

self esteem fund is relaxing to listen to

thank you, I was searching this for so long

glados: thank you for the apeture science music soundtrack i will enjoy this for a very.. very long time.

why does this ost make me feel calmer. like, its meant to make you feel uneasy. tense, unsure. literally the opposite of calming

I think i am the only one to comment about this one, but i kinda like Stop what you are doing. You went in this creepy atmosphere switch and you don’t know what you are doing and this thing SCREAMS you are not supposed to be here, mostly the notes at the start.

Party Escort makes me feel like I am in the future and that I am deep underground lonely not knowing what is out there and also gives me feel like the future was like 2001 or something.

This sound track makes me feel lonely. oh wait I am

I love all these but for some reason party escort is one of my faves idk why it relaxes me but also scares me and makes me sad at the same time

probably the best video game soundtrack ever made

Fun fact for a not so fun just sad and depressing soundtrack is that every song (if you can even call them that) are named after jokes and lines that GLADOS AKA Ellen McLain says during the game

Stop what are you doing was very nostalgic and dramatic 10/10

My favourite song is taste of blood. Its the one with the most atmoshphere to me and is the one that always creeped me out and gives me the most nostalgia

Party Escort sounds beatiful and very relaxing.

I remember in high school before I got a car, I had to walk about 2 miles to get there. I used to jam to a lot of music, but this soundtrack was my favorite. Felt like a scene in movie or something, its so desolate and deep. Self Esteem Fund is the best. Sounds like something you would hear in the original Terminator.

i remember when i first played portal that i thought the Ratman writtings were from test subjects that went crazy or escaped GLaDOS and lived in the test chambers

Большое спасибо за саундтрек.

Kelly Bailey always knows how to make the most unsettling tracks

I return regularly to this soundtrack and after a couple years of listening to it, I can proudly say that the Portal OST is probably one of the most unique and best soundtracks I have ever heard. In context to the game it is even more special. This is a puzzle game where you traverse the environment with portals and yet this soundtrack sounds like it could be the score for a very tragic cyberpunk, maybe posst apocalyptic world. Even though this is true to some degree, it feels to deep for a game with such a simple premise. Portal is a strange but godly combination at all fromts. No puzzle game ever had such great writing, such world building, such a soundtrack. All things that elevate it above and beyond the status of a cult classic the moment it released. This soundtrack gives me eerie vibes of beauty and horror I have never heard and/or expected from such a game. As someone in the comments said "Self-Esteem Fund is one of those songs I can't believe humans created" and I couldn't agree more. This is truely a game you only get once in every blue moon and I cherish it to death

Self-Esteem Fund has been and will always be the best.

I still can't believe how good this is

i just wanna go back to this stage in my life, where i could just play countless video games for hours upon hours! when i didn't have a single care in the world! skipping school, sleeping in to play video games, getting online to play games with my "friends", watching youtube on more games, all the lets plays i watched on my grandma's computer! those were truly the good ol' days!

Portal 1 soundtrack awesome Transmitting the creepy atmosphere of loneliness and an empty abandoned laboratory

*This* is how I get through AP physics homework.

Self Esteem fund, gorgeous. Brian eno worthy

the start of one of most iconic games evet

I thought this ost added to the atmosphere and especially later in the game with how the atmosphere gets creepier... Well... I liked how there was not much music in a lot of parts of the game to add a certain intensity you can't get with music to the atmosphere. It was not the scarriest game I have played, but some parts of the game made me feel scared a little. The robots were not creepy to me, except that red eye sphere at the end which was voiced by Mike Patton who is the man of a million voices in my mind hahhh. The last ending song he last ending credits song but the rest of the soundtrack L0L.

i am still waiting for portal 3.

oh my god the good times of going through this game i want more its kind of like a bitter sweet thing

This soundtrack is like unlocking a new type of fear

Self-Esteem Fund gives me chills

GLaDOS: "no cake for you" Chell: *face goes red in anger* GLaDOS: Okayyyyyyy... That was a mistake... GLaDOS: *Sweats*

Happy 15 years Portal. You game with great a great ambient soundtrack you.

Self esteem fund and no cake for you...

Maybe Black Mesa...

This soundtrack tells the player that you are alone in this place I feel.

When many of us are working from home(alone in many cases) in these times, some of the tracks sums up the feeling of loneliness to the last letter. Its not all gloom and doom these have a calming effect.

I love that until the plot twist it's all just ambient music which you hear in the background. Then it's this awesome fast-paced music to get you to start acting quickly.

People seem to love the P2 soundtrack, but I didn't find any of it very memorable. P1 soundtrack has memorable simplicity. And I love how the contents of the game are kind of bombastic "haha funny dark comedy fun puzzle game" and then you boot it up and get slapped in the face with Procedural Jiggle Bone. It kind of brings home how in spite of it all, if you were actually in Chell's shoes for real, it'd be damn terrifying.
