5The whole soundtrack is naturally easy to dance to, but some tracks are especially catchy. As the original soundtrack was made by Danny Baranowsky, this is not surprising.
6----
7* As of the full release, you get triple the awesomeness, as it includes three different mixes of the entire soundtrack -- [[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-ost the original]] (and [[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-amplified-ost the amplified]]) by Danny Baranowsky, an [[https://rivalrivalrival.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-the-melody-mixes EDM version]] (and [[https://rivalrivalrival.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-the-melody-mixes-amplified their amplified remixes]]) by A_Rival, and a [[https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/album/aria-awakened rock version]] by [=FamilyJules=].
8** Later on, two more remixed soundtracks were released and added to the game: a [[https://virt.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-freestyle-retro retro-game style version]] by Jake "virt" Kaufman with alternative melodies that replace the normal ones perfectly (and you can mix with the original tracks on Audacity to have the complete experience), and a [[https://girlfriendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-synthwave-cuts-ultimate-edition synthwave version]] by Girlfriend Records.
9** With the release of the Amplified DLC, you get [[https://ocrecords.bandcamp.com/album/crypt-of-the-necrodancer-overclocked yet another]] version by [=OverClocked ReMix=], along with 4 new tracks in all soundtracks.
10** And last but not least, [[https://chipzelmusic.bandcamp.com/album/chipped-of-the-necrodancer yet another]] [[https://chipzelmusic.bandcamp.com/album/chipped-of-the-necrodancer-amplified chiptune]] version by Chipzel.
11* The 1-1 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/disco-descent-1-1 Disco Descent]]", is a simple and catchy track, perfect for a first level. Its [[https://familyjules7x.bandcamp.com/track/dance-for-your-life-feat-jonathan-young-jack-fliegler-2 Reprise]] into a VillainSong by [=FamilyJules=], on the other hand, makes it sound like an intro for the FinalBoss himself.
12* The 1-2 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/crypteque-1-2 Crypteque]]", has a ridiculously infectious beat, to the point where you might think the Necrodancer got your heart too.
13* The 1-3 and title theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/mausoleum-mash-1-3 Mausoleum Mash]]", lets you know you're in for a real treat with the music.
14* The 2-1 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/fungal-funk-2-1 Fungal Funk]]", starts off sad, then picks up and becomes incredibly groovy.
15* The cold version of the 3-1 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/stone-cold-3-1-cold Stone Cold]]", has a nice sense of desperation to it.
16* 3-1's hot version, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/igneous-rock-3-1-hot-feat-familyjules7x Igneous Rock]]", is no slouch, making you feel like you're dancing your way through the depths of Hell.
17* The hot version of the 3-3 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/a-hot-mess-3-3-hot-feat-familyjules7x A Hot Mess]]", perfectly suits the absolute mosh pit that is the penultimate zone, and was even used in the early access trailer!
18* The 4-3 theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/the-wight-to-remain-4-3 The Wight to Remain]]", gets you pumped to take on the final stretch of the game.
19* King Conga's theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/konga-conga-kappa-king-conga Konga Conga Kappa]]", feels strangely whimsical.
20* Death Metal's theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/metalmancy-death-metal-feat-familyjules7x Metalmancy]]", is fast-paced and pretty intense. [[https://girlfriendrecords.bandcamp.com/track/metalmancy-death-metal-remix Its version in the synthwave soundtrack]] successfully makes it slow and ominous instead, at half the BPM.
21* Fortissimole's theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/notorious-d-i-g-fortissimole Notorious D.I.G.]]", is a full rap song, and the only song in the game with spoken lyrics from the boss himself that continues playing as long as Fortissimole is alive.
22* Dead Ringer's theme, "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/for-whom-the-knell-tolls-dead-ringer For Whom the Knell Tolls]]", is a masterpiece.
23* The Necrodancer's own theme is split up into two: [[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/momentum-mori-necrodancer-fight-1st-phase "Momentum Mori"]] and [[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/last-dance-necrodancer-fight-2nd-phase "Last Dance"]]. Both are electronic-based tracks with the latter being more frantic as the Necrodancer tries to do you in.
24* "[[https://dbsoundworks.bandcamp.com/track/steinway-to-heaven-frankensteinway-fight Steinway to Heaven]]", the theme for Frankensteinway (Amplified's penultimate boss) combines a theremin and a piano for a bizarre yet enjoyable song that stands out among the rest of the OST.
