Here it is: Four months, numerous hardware and software upgrades, and a computer failure later, I'm finished with it -- the fully orchestrated tracks from Ceilick's Dead in the Desert mod.
Not all the songs that appeared in the game made it to the final cut; most of the desert songs were lost in the computer failure. Everything else survived. What you hear is all that is left.
EDIT (04/02/2010):
CKFS is up again, the soundtrack is hosted there:
