Non-Original Music

"What I need to do is to finish this! And then I need to fix the detector."This article is currently under construction. You can help Anomaly Research Centre by expanding it.

"What if this world is the only one there is?"This article is written from the real world point of view (not from the Primeval Universe).

In addition to the the Primeval Original Television Soundtrack, many songs are used during the course of Primeval, whether it be as background music or diegetic inclusion. Most songs are changed in the DVD release due to the costs of licensing the music for other platforms.
