In the final version of the game, any of the 5 town themes may play at random. But based on the official soundtrack, some seem to have been intended to strictly play at night and others during the day (or possibly even in select towns). This is also true of the outdoors themes. Any of the 6 may play at random, while the soundtrack suggests that the original intention was for the outdoors music to be divided based on region (Woods, Desert, Lava) and time (day or night).
