I really can't remember the last time a game incorporated such a vast soundtrack, and perfectly enhanched the mood/feeling of certain scenes in the game.

Man I hope gog gets the soundtrack of this sooner or later.

Which were your favourite tracks?

I have a hard time deciding between "Put the Lime in The Coconut" and "Space Oddity", although "Children of the Elder Gods" was a completely terrific moment too.

I sent gog a message regarding this "issue".
They could not obtain the rights to include the soundtrack with the game here on gog.

Well that's a shame. I can understand them not being able to get the licensed music, but I would have thought they'd at least be able to get the rest of the music (as was included with the Steam version and/or the OST available elsewhere). It's not a major issue for me personally as I have both the GOG and Steam versions of Alan Wake but still :/

Unfortunately not lossless, but better than nothing

The Old Gods of Asgard Tracks by Poets of the Fall are a lossy / lossless hybrid

Thinking about it, perhaps they just meant the licensed tracks? It makes sense that they wouldn't be able to get those, but surely they could've included the same official soundtrack that's already included with both the retail and Steam releases? Or perhaps they're still working on it (trying to get a more complete verson); or maybe the person who replied to you isn't high ranking enough to know if they've got it lined up for release & just assumed that they couldn't get the rights since it isn't there already (or maybe they do know but are just keeping it secret so it'll be a surprise :P)

The soundtrack included with the 360 limited edition doesn't have all the music in the game on it, which I found a little disappointing since the music is used so amazing well. My point is that if they couldn't get it for that release I think it's completely out of the question for a download version of the game.

I makes me wish Alan Wake had ended up with Rockstar instead since they seem to be far better at releasing proper complete soundtracks.

Well the PC retail and Steam versions of Alan Wake do include a soundtrack; however none of the soundtracks included with any version of the game are complete.

Still, at least all of the music is available at retail etc. & it's possible to manually compile a complete version of soundtrack if desired. Ugh no, that would have been terrible. If Rockstar (Take-Two) were publishing the game then it would likely never have been released here at all and it would have been much more expensive at release... and they'd probably charge extra for the DLC too :P In fact if any publisher had been involved (even those already signed with GOG) I doubt we'd be seeing it here now, so soon after its debut on PC. Not to mention the general aversion that publishers have to removing Steam from Steamworks games.

Alan Wake was developed by (and the IP belongs to) Remedy, they self-financed the PC version and self-published it digitally, so in a way it's an 'indie' title :P Because of this they have a lot more freedom with their game and the decisions about DRM and where to release it were entirely up to them (also they get more money from sales of it as there's no publisher to take a cut). It would be nice if more developers did this IMO.

The list on that wiki page is incomplete btw, a few tracks are missing like Air Kissing [Violet Indiana], Back Bone [The Rumble Strips], Shady Grove [Among The Oak & Ash], Black Night [Charles Brown]. Luckily they can be puled from the game files along with all the other licensed tracks.
