Soundtrack Collection

by wzg45

С радостью представляю плод длительных собираний, сортирований, упорядочивний и проверок.
Sleeping Dogs Unofficial Compilation by wzg45.
Начинал сборку ещё в 2012 году, но забросил из-за эксклюзивности большого пласта треков и низкого качества файлов в геймрипе.
Но недавно я пересмотрел политику сборки раздач в Lossless и вернулся к работе. Поэтому:
ВНИМАНИЕ! Недостающие во FLAC треки в lossless-раздаче добавлены в lossy-форматах! Сделано это исключительно для удобства конечного слушателя. В любом случае лучшего по качеству и аутентичности сборника вы не найдёте.

Чем моя сборка по SD отличается от других?
Самое главное - это то, что все треки собраны в максимальном доступном качестве. То есть вся музыка изначально собиралась в lossless. Недостающие треки были взяты из геймрипа (ogg) и сборника от APM (mp3, V0).
Второе по важности - треки максимально аутентичны тем, что играют в игре. В некоторых случаях приходилось отдавать предпочтение ogg из игры.
В-третьих, удалось собрать всю классику в том же исполнении, что и в игре. Огромная благодарность за оказанную помощь пользовательнице рутрекера DaKasAl и co.
Итоги. 166 треков во FLAC. 22 в mp3. 24 в vorbis. 4 конвертированы из боксовского XMA во FLAC.
Заключительный плюс - оформление. Все теги тщательно заполнены. Для каждой папки создана уникальная обложка. В потоках убраны клики (где заметил), replay gain.
Я несколько раз перепроверял информацию в тегах. Но всё же могли остаться ошибки. Не стесняйтесь сообщать о них.

Содержание.
1-10.
Радиостанции игры. Softly и H-Klub в основном содержат lossy-материал. Не думаю, что удастся найти что-то ещё в lossless.
11. Karaoke
Караоке. Тут оригиналы треков, а не минусовки, естественно.
12. Bonus
Тут представлены... бонусы! Это не каверы, как в раздаче THPS. Это музыка из трейлера, версии треков, которых нет в игре, но встречаются на других любительских сборках радиостанций. Есть пара треков Saki Kaskas с Soundcloud. Также добавил 4 темы из меню из-за их востребованности. К тому же, это наименее пожатые музыкальные файлы в игре.
Если вас интересует Score игры, то вы найдёте его в раздаче геймрипа. Спасибо Alpha23 за боксовские потоки.

Немного про музыку.
Не хочу говорить о том, насколько концептуальной получилась подборка от разработчиков. В процессе игры мне мало что понравилось. Но всё же собирать всё это было интересно. Более того все эти треки отлично слушаются вне игры. Около 16 треков можно услышать в других играх, в т.ч. схожих по жанру Vice City, San Andreas. Saints Raw 2. Но с другой стороны, нельзя не отметить уникальность станций.
Приятно было найти в игре Boosey & Hawkes. Конечно, это больше похоже на ликбез, но всё же.
Сама же игра приятно удивила. Это лучшее, что случилось в жанре со времён gta3/VC.

Это специальная версия для R.G. Soundtracks в 320 kbps. V0 и lossless можно найти в версии для R.G. Echo.
