Beyond Good and Evil is one of my favourite games ever (might be smart to finally do that list one day and publish it here). I love its green-lips heroine, races design, story, orphaned alien children, graphical design and of course great soundtrack. It is therefore with much pleasure that I would like to point out that the aforementioned soundtrack is available for download free of charge (the password for the album is MySpace.com/HyllianMusic and the list of mirrors is here).
While the music tracks from Beyond Good and Evil haven't reached the ultimate status that mp3 can dream of, namely being put in the permanent folder on my Zen Stone player, they are quite memorable and I do come back to listen to them every now and again. There is also a good deal of variation between them: ranging from ambient oriental music ("Ancient Chinese secrets") which I have used as a background for one of my tea ceremony dates, through weird sounds of "Propaganda", to aggressive techno-ish boss fight theme ("Sins of father"), they provide a good variety of tunes for different moods.
The soundtrack was in fact released for free long time ago, which is when I got it, but it's just quite recently that it has popped up on MySpace. Even if it's just the clever marketing ploy in order to draw our attention to incoming Beyond Good and Evil 2, I am comfy with it, because I do like freebies, plus this soundtrack is really awesome. Also, worth noting is this interesting remix of one of the main themes, availabe at OCRemix - it is an unofficial remix, but it's quite good, so I allow myself to link to it as well.
