Just like the rest of its parts, BioShock‘s music is easily some of the best in the business, and now thanks to the folks at 2K you can listen to the exquisite orchestral score from composer Garry Schyman even when you aren’t playing the game, all at no cost! That’s right fellow Rapture denizens, the BioShock soundtrack (12 tracks in MP3 format total) has been released as a free download in tidy .zip form (23 MB) over at The Cult of Rapture. Oh yeah, time to break out my iPod…
