[edit] "No One Rides For Free"
A fairly quiet, slightly eerie song.
Location played: When first driving away from the junkyard after destroying the Autogun.
[edit] "Dark Interval"
Presented in the game files as "VLVX_song3". The song has a slow moaning quality to it, with a sense of imposing darkness. In the middle, the song seems to brighten some but fades out quickly.
Location played:
- During the credits.
- This song also appears in Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, when first entering the St. Olga monastery.
[edit] "Crawl Yard"
Has an industrial feel to it, with sounds similar to clanks and steam hissing. Mostly ambient.
Location played: Freeman Pontifex: Near one of the radioactive lakes.
[edit] "Nectarium"
An odd, echo-filled song, with rain-like sounds later on.
Location played: When the Victory Mine Vortigaunt finds the larval extract.
[edit] "Extinction Event Horizon"
A synth-filled track, mostly ambient.
Location played: The very beginning of To The White Forest, as Gordon is climing out of the train wreck.
[edit] "Vortal Combat"
- A fast, upbeat and dramatic song that accompanies the final wave of the antlion attack with the help of the vortigaunts. Instruments heard in it include electric guitars, drum beats, and techno samples.

- It is named VLVX_song22 in episode 2's GCF.
Location played:
- This Vortal Coil: The final wave of the Antlion attack in which the vortigaunts assist Gordon Freeman in the fight.

Location played:
- During the G-Man sequence, when the G-Man talks to Gordon as the Vortigaunts attempt to heal Alyx.
