BioShock soundtrack CD features Moby, Oscar the Punk and 'eerie aesthetic'
by Ludwig Kietzmann

"While these classic songs from the 40's and 50's evoke a happier time, they take on an eerie aesthetic in BioShock's decaying art deco-designed underwater city of Rapture," says Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K Games. According to him, the three remixed tracks (Beyond the Sea, God Bless the Child and Wild Little Sisters) add a new spin to "indelible classics." Well, he certainly makes them sound fit for consumption despite being indelible. That means you can't eat them, right?
(Oh, and if you've been trapped beneath an ocean of rocks for the last few weeks, you should note that BioShock is officially out August 21st in America and August 24th in Europe.)

I look forward to getting Bioshock on Steam when I can afford it and....uhhh....getting this soundtrack through similar digital means.

What was that about "Wild Little Sisters"? I can't seem to recall or find a song by that name...
...Freudian slip, anyone?

Freud was a hack, with the hots for his mom.

Indelible means unforgettable, permanent etc...
Like "Joystiq has made an indelible impact on the world of gaming and the internet"
Tatoos are made wit indelible ink...

So it's only three remixed tracks? A little lame, considering I preordered the collector's for that reason.
Not really gonna bitch about it, but :(

This has nothing to do with the soundtrack, but can anyone tell me what the sexual themes are in this game? My parents don't care about the violence, but the sexual themes might be a problem! Anyone got a clue as to what they are?

...
Your parents are bothered by what could be sexual themes but not by the amount of violence? :\ Sorry, dude. Can't answer your question, but sorry.

Sex is apparently more dangerous than violence nowadays. Sick really.
Rent it and have your parents play through it, lol.

I can't say for sure but the ESRB use of "sexual themes" is very vague. Female splicers may just look a little shabby with the amount of cloth in their clothes after a year.

Come on. Big Daddy? 'Nuff said.

Nothing really except for Bid Daddy's lovin' Little Sistes's. Just tell them that, word for word, and you should be totally good. You're welcome.

It used to be the same password that you put in to post comments. Not sure if they changed that.

My parents used to be big on the whole sex thing before, too. They really don't care about the violence. That's what Bioshock is... a violent, psychological shooter. And I love it.
Capgun @ Aug 20th 2007 4:21PM
Yeah..I could use some info on those "sexual themes" too. I wanted to rent saints row a while back, and my dad skimmed over everything. Violence, ok. Language, fine. Drugs and alchohol, meh. Then he got to sexual themes and is like "I dont think so...". So yeah, dont want that again. Info ASAP would be nice
