| craig_boston-cv_boss.s3m | These songs were written as part of the EZZT project. Craig did an übercool version of Caverns of Zeux for Enhanced ZZT, complete with remixes of the songs. It was really insane... |

| graa-cv_steu.it | A funky cv_magic remix by graa; |
| graa-cv_stor.it | This mod takes cv_story and makes it, uh, less slow and less sad. Even demotuney. Well, you'll just have to listen to it. |
| graa-cv_m.it | A medley of cv_title, cv_tech, cv_balon, cv_heven, and cv_boss. This most surely breaks some world record. |
| graa-fr_meu.it | An upbeat, fun remix of fr_maybe. Written on my birthday, woo! |
| graa-cs_leepht.it | A cs_lift remix (the first?) in a distinctly graa style. |
| graa-c64_tech.it | It's cv_tech, Commodore 64 style! Full of SID-tastic samples! |
| graa-fr_bruno.it | graa remixed fr_woah, (somewhat) in the style of Bruno. |
| graa-boss.nsf | Not just an NES-style remix, but an actual NSF file (get the xmms-nsf plugin) |
| A guitarry MP3 remix of ct_final. | |
| graa-timebomb.mp3 | Time Bomb: an upbeat, analogue MP3 remix of ct_level. Note: recovered by wildweasel, who says it is most likely a conversion rather than the original MP3. |
| Instrumental remake of Inner Reality (cs_inner) | |
| graa-sascave.ogg | fr_cave Speak and Spell madness. Excellent! |
| graa-maybedm.ogg | fr_maybe devon miles remix: synthesizers and drumloops |
| graa-storybm.ogg | cv_story back of your mind mix |
| graa-rttank.ogg | r3venge of the t4nk is a hardcore combination of cs_revenge and cs_tank |
| graa-spook.ogg | cs_spook under your bed |
| graa-ct_level2.ogg | make ct_level your second deodorant |
| graa-ct_leveltb.ogg | lime bomb |
| graa-spook2.ogg | cs_spook in your closet |
| graa-cstitle.ogg | no special name here |
| graa-cvtech2.ogg | cv_tech martian peanut butter chillout |
| graa-cvmagic.ogg | This is what happens when you run steel drums through a wah-wah filter. |
| graa-sk1cave.ogg | This is what happens when you do an MZX remix entirely by plugging a toy keyboard into the mic jack on your computer and start jamming into Sound Forge. All the sounds are from a Casio SK-1, the world's coolest sampling keyboard. Everybody needs one of these. sk1cave (with a title inspired by Fatboy Slim) not only features me going "aaaaaaaa" into the keyboard's mic, It also features a blow-into-the-mic drumloop to compliment the disco beat. |
| graa-cvheaven.ogg | An Alesis QS8.2 was used for everything in this. To make it more interesting I changed some of the notes from the original so it uses an Arabic scale. The background guitar and weird flute bit at the beginning actually go through a delay pedal connected to the synth, just because twisting knobs is fun. |
| graa breaks out the Impulse Tracker for this electronic cv_"heven and hell". | |
| graa-ct32final.ogg | In some kind of bizarre alternate dimension
where MegaZeux supports the Roland MT-32, this would be its soundtrack!
Well, part of it. 100% MT-32 presets.
Note: recovered by wildweasel. The original OGG is missing; this is an MP3 conversion. |

| inmate-C4-heven.mod | You all know the cv_heven song, but inmate chipped it up a notch@!$@ It's like the standard heaven tune, but chippier (which means better) |
| inmate-Cv_strmx.s3m | The Caverns of Zeux story song, inmate style. Mmm, timpani... |

| joseph_collins-cvmadnes.it | This is a really zany remix of cv_tech. All the samples have been replaced with Joseph Collins yelling things into a microphone. |
| joseph_collins-frcremix.it | The Forest of Ruin Cave song has been completely remixed and zonkified. This mix outweirds even anything I've heard from Aphex Twin. |
| joseph_collins-zeuxb2.s3m | All of the boss songs have been arranged into a nice medley in this track. |

| kev_vance-ninmagic.it | "cv_magic /\/ | \/\ mix" is one of Kev's crazier ideas (up there with glzzt). The song uses some samples ripped from the Nine Inch Nails song "Closer" and played in a sequence that's not unlike cv_magic. |
| kev_vance-revenge_of_ring.xm | Revenge of Ring is a remix of the Chronos Stasis song Revenge. It's kinda huge for a 35 second mod, but I just couldn't bring myself to chop up my nice samples... |

| lipid-pmmagic.s3m | Lipid just had to one-up nin_magic, so he took various songs from Caverns of Zeux and arranged them to the music of the Future Crew demo Second Reality. If you're not a demoscener, or at least haven't heard the music from Second Reality, you won't get it. |
| lipid-cv_magla.it | cv_magla is a very down-tempo remix of cv_magic with lots of improvisations and such. |

| mark_mcintyre-cv_magic.xm | This song was also part of the EZZT Caverns game. It is a house style remix of cv_magic, one of the best cv_magic remixes IMHO. |

| mallo-cv_mag-r.it | Mallo did a great cv_magic mix here. Great synth and drum samples accentuate the improved rythm of this remix. |

|---|---|
| mental-cs_inner.s3m | Yet another MenT remix. This is Inner Reality with a breakbeat. |
| mental-cv_balon.s3m | MenTaL has outdone himself again! He went and remixed six Caverns of Zeux songs. The samples are mostly GUS patches of some kind, giving the songs a very orchestrated and professional feel. |
| mental-cv_boss.s3m | |
| mental-cv_heven.s3m | |
| mental-cv_magic.s3m | |
| mental-cv_story.s3m | |

| zhaytee-cv_film_story.mp3 | zhaytee turns cv_story into a film score with this piece. It sounds wonderful, probably the best cv_story remix there is. |
