Download the BioShock Orchestral Score (not for the faint of heart)

Over at the 2K games The Cult of Rapture website, the orchestral score for BioShock (Xbox 360, PC) has just been released. The set contains 12 tracks from the award-winning composer Garry Schyman – a download that’s only worth 21MB of your bandwidth time. Getting paranoid about seeing Little Sisters and Big Daddies everywhere you go is one thing. Hearing the music of Rapture while you’re being paranoid is something else. Here’s the tracklist:

1. BioShock Main Theme (The Ocean on His Shoulders)
2. Welcome to Rapture
3. Dr. Steinman
4. The Docks
5. The Dash
6. Step Into My Gardens
7. Dancers on a String
8. Cohens Masterpiece
9. The Engine City
10. Empty Houses
11. This is Where They Sleep
12. All Spiced Up

This musical score does nothing but relive the BioShock experience. If you’re that masochistic enough (hey, that includes me), you might want to plug this into your mp3 player and invoke all those feelings you’ve experienced in the game: sinking below the depths and into the city, nuking it out with Big Daddy for the first time, and facing the decision of whether to harvest or save a Little Sister.

As video game music goes, this one’s a keeper. As musical pieces in general go, this one’s still a keeper (given that you’re really masochistic and brave enough). Personally, it reminds me a bit of the Lost soundtrack (Michael Giacchino FTW!) coupled in with the chill factor of the first and second Silent Hill albums. If that’s not your cup of plasmids, it won’t hurt to give it a shot. Enjoy the music! Play it loud!
