Music
The game featured a theme song by Tim Wright, which - atypically for an action game - was a classically-themed, piano-led instrumental. The title song was adapted without giving him proper credit by the keyboardist of Dimmu Borgir in the song "Sorgens Kammer" for their Stormblåst album. The band did not know about this. Following several months of communication between Wright and Dimmu Borgir, and in a nod to the composer, the band did not include the track on a later re-recording of Stormblåst.
The title song is also slightly different from the version that Tim Wright originally submitted to Art & Magic. Franck Sauer advised Wright that he could source improved piano sounds for the piece, and requested permission to change them. Wright agreed, but did not hear the end result before the game went to final master, and consequently some notes within the piece were transposed; this 'mistake' was also covered by Dimmu Borgir.
