Artist commentary:

Stephen Maxwell: (in-game credits)

"SKIES OF SKAIA" by MARK HADLEY and "UPWARD MOVEMENT" by KALIBRATION were unsubtly crammed together to create "STAIRS TO SKAIA".

Stephen Maxwell: (MSPA forums, excerpt)

Hammerkind main theme (based on Dave Fucking Owns/Upward Movement and Skies of Skaia. This version, used in the game, is kind of a cross between the two I already posted in this thread, with a few other minor changes.)

Makin: (wiki editor)

This track plays during the main game mode STAIRS TO SKAIA, where you ascend/build past all the gates and fight imps to reach Skaia.
