As far as I know, Dungeon Keeper soundtrack written by Russell Shaw contains 6 songs, 4 of which are in-game audio backgrounds. Ie playable directly on the maps.

This is the tracklist:

Last Hopeless Sunrise (World map)
Ghostly Cave Theme
Enchanted Cave Theme
Mechanical Cave Theme
Backmasked Monster Voice Theme
Chanting Monks / Invading the Dungeon (Intro)

For those who are interested, it's here : http://dfiles.ru/files/iqp083o0i
~ 57 mb in mp3

If I understand correctly, the soundtrack is attached to each specific map. Now the question itself. Is it possible to change the soundtrack акщь that tracklist for each individual map or not? I just remember a conversation that mefistotelis perhaps in the future, will add such an option. But what for now?

In DK1, the music tracks are determined by the ID of the map.

If the ID of the map modulo 4 equals 1 (Map 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, etc.), "Ghostly Cave" plays.
If the ID of the map modulo 4 equals 2 (Map 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, etc.), "Enchanted Cave" plays.
If the ID of the map modulo 4 equals 3 (Map 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, etc.), "Mechanical Cave" plays.
If the ID of the map modulo 4 equals 0 (Map 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc.), "Backmasked Monster Voice" plays.

I don't think this can be changed in the original game - but you can change the soundtrack played for any map by moving the map to another ID (although this would be quite a messy solution).

I'm not sure how mefistotelis is faring with changing this around for KeeperFX, but I suppose he could change this system around at some point in time.
