You can hear the orchestral stuff here but I guess the copyright for the dozen or so proper songs were too damn complicated for it to be released. http://www.gamemusicjukebox.com/?id=117

I have to admit to not liking orchestral music usually, but Cohen’s masterpiece does sound surprisingly unhinged. I’m tempted to call it schizophrenic or bi-polar. The rest is nice enough but without a game around it I keep getting distracted by things instead of listening.

I bought my collector’s edition based solely on the figure. I didn’t pre-order, I got lucky. I thought the paint job was pretty good, but that might be a hit or miss from figure to figure.

Not bothered about the EP as I like Moby. I would like some of the music out of the game though.

You know what would be nice? If they indicated you’re supposed to *INCLUDE* the dashes when typing your activation code.

I had a momentary scare before realizing that was the case.

Am I the only one who suspects the buggers might release the soundtrack proper seperatley and have people, y’know, pay for it?

My standard edition box smelled quite a bit of spraypaint fumes, too. I think it was actually the manual, though I have no idea why.

You just saved me from completely ruining my credit account. Thanks.

The fact it says “game soundtrack CD” on the side of the box is surely grounds for what used to be known as the Trades Descriptions Act. It’s not even like the remixes are in keeping with the mood of the game. Disgraceful.

Harsh. I don’t feel so bad about plumping for the Play.com standard edition + faceplate, now.

Hmm, disappointing news! I’d pre-ordered the collector’s edition from GAME in the high-street on the basis of the soundtrack cd, but it sounds naff. Wish i’d ordered the 25 quid one from Play now. I wonder if I ordered it TODAY it would come tomorrow. Probably not. Oh well.
