And now the bad news: fears were confirmed and the soundtrack will be released on one disc. So fans of the game will only get as twice as much music compared to the promo sampler from the limited edition game selection, in which even episodically the music is not represented form many locations the game (there is no theme of police department and so on).
The official tracklist is poor and strange. In particular, there are track names with numbers such as Part 1, which immediately leads to the logical question: if there is a track with number one, then where to get following-up with number two? It is also noticeable no one apparently tried to master tracks of general subject into a single suites and from a single mastered track we can only see the expanded (probably - artificially stretched) version of Hung Hua Brothel. It is too superficial debriefing, because timing is not yet known, but considering only one disk and the number of tracks, not difficult to make a disappointing conclusion: the music is taken from the game "as is".
Quite a pity, considering how long fans have been waiting for the announcement of the soundtrack and hoped for a double album.
The soundtrack is available for preorder on Amazon for $ 12.95.
