"City of Lost Angels," also known as "Fortification Hill," is an ambient music track composed by Mark Morgan for the Fallout soundtrack. The track is available as a part of the Vault Archives compilation.
Notes[]
- For its use in Fallout: New Vegas, the soundtrack was renamed "Fortification Hill" and listed as an original game soundtrack, despite playing in multiple other locations and not having been composed for the game.
- The title of the soundtrack is a play on words referencing the city of Los Angeles.
Appearances[]
City of Lost Angels is heard in Fallout and Fallout 2, playing while the Vault Dweller is in the Boneyard and when the Chosen One is at the Ghost Farm or at Golgotha.
It is re-used in Fallout: New Vegas, at the Fort, Camp McCarran, Cottonwood Cove, Dry Wells, the southernmost district of the New Vegas Strip, at the NCR camp in Primm, and at the Mojave Outpost. In Honest Hearts, it plays at the southern passage. In Lonesome Road, it plays at the Hopeville missile silo bunker.
Behind the scenes[]
"City of Lost Angels" takes heavy inspiration from "Grass" by Aphex Twin from his album Selected Ambient Works Volume II, created in what appears to be a modified version of a latter.
