* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSNJ7RsP1xs "Taste of Blood"]] is a stunningly beautiful ambient piece that plays just before you obtain the blue Portal Gun. It's the first song you hear after the radio music, and in spite of its wonder, it also has a slight sense of loneliness.

Catchy remix and Portal Prelude menu themes, written as though they play on the menus when intended.


* The genuinely creepy music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxcLkRosTQo "No Cake For You",]] that starts up when you discover the RoomFullOfCrazy. Now that's thinking with portals.

%%* * Not strictly from ''Portal'', but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IGS9qY7xko Put com/watch?v=wRj-29ceRvU "The Device Has Been Modified"]] is a catchy electronic dance mix with quotes from [=GLaDOS=] and the turrets. "Put me down. Put me down. Put-put-put-put me down.]]

" The song got a focus in ''VideoGame/{{Audiosurf}}'' the week before ''Portal 2'' released.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izWwfjlS9kw both]] com/watch?v=s_S0-jbsKEk "Particule"]] is a slow song setting the tone for the player's isolation in the Aperture Science test chambers before [=GLaDOS's=] activation.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_S0-jbsKEk tracks]] by Silence, from com/watch?v=izWwfjlS9kw "Larmes"]] (French for "tears") is a melancholy song that begins with a piano melody, and synth drums kicking in later on. It accompanies the main menu intended visuals of the mod ''VideoGame/PortalPrelude''.a room in ruins after [=GLaDOS's=] activation.

If it's fan-made, it shouldn't be included.


* Despite being a fan-made game, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvL4HxAKhGI the soundtrack]] from ''VideoGame/PortalTheFlashVersion'' would qualify. It sounds exactly like something taken from an actual ''Portal'' game, with its mixture of electronic music/orchestra, action-packed tone, and even a choir.
