The Getaway OST – 46 tracks (in Stereo 192kbps)

Hi all,

I’ve been looking for a complete ripping of The Getaway’s soundtrack for years and never really found what I wanted, so I decided to do a little bit of DIY.

I’ve seen that quite many of you were looking for it too so here it is to download!

There are 41 different tracks in the game. But some of them are pretty similar to the ears, so I did my very best to distinguish the differences. Sometimes, you have to wait quite a long minute before you can actually hear the difference between two tracks. Some tracks are also played in several missions, that’s why some mission names are missing.

Here’s the contents of the archives:

Cover (front).jpg
The Getaway’s Items Map.jpg

Most of tracks are 2 to 4 minutes long. They always contain at least the first loop which may be repeated once or twice until it fades out.

I added the tracks that were available here (Thread 39809), copied by sam solid from the now-dead official website as they are not in the game (apart for the main menu theme).

I also included to bonuses: the crackhouse theme in a home-made extended version and a home-made map of London featuring some important places of the game as well as a few hidden cars and vehicles.

Enjoy!!!

Thank you.

not played this in ages!

can’t remember anything in particular about the music… gonna jog my memory! thanks 😉

thanks God!! finally someone has ripped it! =)

NIIIIIIIIICE ONE!
Been meaning to do a complete rip myself though previous attempts didn’t find all the music i.e. the one that plays when you face the Yardies in the container yard.
I’m curious, how did you manage to rip all the tracks?

Thanks so much!!

line-in rip 😉

I’m curious, how did you manage to rip all the tracks?line-in rip ;-)More tortuous than that, actually. Really some DIY.

I don’t have the right wire to plug my PS2 to my computer so I could not record the tracks directly from the PS2 on my computer.

So I plugged my PS2 to my DVD recorder instead; played the whole game once more, setting the game’s sound balance to ‘no sound/full music’, enabling the stereo mode and focusing on the tracks that were played.

Each time I heard a new track, I recorded it via my DVD recorder. Then, copied the movie files onto a DVD-RW, which I played on my computer while recording the sound with Audacity.

As for the music that plays in the container yard, there are actually two musics. Both are very short but the first one can only be heard at the beginning of the yard, where there are those very annoying big cranes, while the second starts when you’ve passed this area and you arrive in the meeting zone with all the trucks. That’s why the title of this track contains ‘(Furtive and Action Themes)’. I got them both into one unique track as they were too short to be 1 track each.
Same occurs in The Prodigal Son mission. When you are in the cave of the mansion, there’s one track. When you get to the stairs, a second one. And finally, once you enter the house and start climbing the rounded staircase, the first track starts again.

Also, the bonus extended version of the crackhouse theme (well-known on youtube and last.fm) is in fact a mixing of #23 and #35, for those of you who wondered.

Thanks for your comments, I’m glad you like it! 🙂

Woah that must have been time-consuming.
Very thankful you managed it.
Lovin that Yardie container yard choon, particularly near the end. ^_^
I still have to check the rip of Black Monday I found ages ago to see if it has all the music and retag it.

Thanks 😉

Woah that must have been time-consuming.
Very thankful you managed it.All in all, it took me about a week. But I really wanted the soundtrack for myself and playing the game again after so many years was not that terrible. 😉

and once you’re done with retagging I hope you’ll post it here (again?) 😉

Im surprised because the original files on the ps3 are VAG mono, not stereo, so how the hell can the game have a stereo option?

But when I zoom in very close onto a track with Audacity I can see differences (very tiny but still)… so I guess the stereo mode of the game does work.

Ps2 i meant lmao.

It’s a really good job man, since the time i wanted this OST many many many thanks for it.

But you know the song when you enter in the Republic, it’s not the full version right?

Here you can listen (in the first minute of the video) something which sound like the start of the Republic soundtrack :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKMv2lJY_xw

Do you know where can i have the full song of the republic i’m crazy about it.

Once more, great job.

From France, Kevin.

Yeah I will…… eventually ^_^
I started doing it but got bored doing so.
I need to play the game again to make sure no music is missing.
From what I rememeber the rip I have doesn’t have the full version of the credits.
Plus the fact the rip has music which never plays during the game (i.e. what seems to be a VIP/Remix of Klute’s "Hidden Hand" choon which I have to say I love ^_^) made the tagging process harder.

I think the one we have here is the full version.
This version sounds slightly different (i.e. it doesn’t have that effect of sounding like its playing in the background of a room): http://rapidshare.com/files/387242674/The_Republic.mp3
Not sure if that’s the one u r referring to.

Yes that’s it man, we have the start of the song and in the last part of the song we have the same rythm that we have in the Republic song upload by Swoo.

And i wonder if there is a soundtrack where those two parts are together.

Well thats from the rip in this thread: Thread 39809

Not sure if there’s a version with both those parts together, though I haven’t played the game for a while.

What link i ‘ve to download mate?

FYI as I said before this rip is incomplete and isn’t fully tagged.

It’s ok i will test it

and how did you rip it?

But I have absolutely no clue about how this guy got this part of the track. I’ve waited ages in the restaurant and it was always the same loop playing. It’s problably a track never played in the game but still there in the files…

From a previous cutscene maybe…

Why don’t you ask the guy on youtube?

But there’s truly one song missing which I couldn’t rip. The song played when Charlie’s boys torture Mr Chai. It seems to be a real song, not composed by Andrew Hale, with real lyrics but since cutscenes are movies, the ‘no sound/full music’ option doesn’t work for them.

I didn’t rip that version myself but it was ripped from the disc directly via some software.
I forget the name of it but when I tried it I got the same incomplete result: a load of short clips of the music that you have to join and loop yourself to get the full track.

I ask to the guy and he gaves me the music that UptownYardy gaves me.

I you said me that you have waited in The Republic and it was always the same track, i will try to put them together, i will see if a free software can do that.

I will do that tonight i will join myself, do you know some software which can make it?

But I’m not sure it will sound good as youtube’s version has not the "coming-from-a-box" effect while mine (and the game’s) has.

It’ll sound really weird, imo.

But i’ve download yours 😉

oh for the other version UptownYardy gaves me a good version with good quality

oh for the other version UptownYardy gaves me a good version with good qualityCan’t get what you mean, sorry.

But here’s what I meant by the "sounding weird". I just used Audacity to mix both tracks.

Sorry for my english sometimes.

Well i will do that with audacity

I try to do the join with audacity but there is too much difference of quality between the two song, it sounds bad 🙁

Sorry but I can’t help you with this, all I can offer is my attempt, which at least joins both tracks just at the right moment.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/d4tyfd1yd3q/The_Republic (Mix).mp3

I already download you link and i work with this song, but even if i join it at the good moment, it’s not the same quality.

The quality of the Republic Soundtrack (1min01) is really great, but the other Republic soundtrack (Mix) is too bad.

Thanks man!!

In order to take less room on the disk (I guess), the tracks are divided into 3 or 4 seconds clips that the game knows how to assemble when the track has to be played. The reason I think this is that for each track I recorded, I could hear some tiny blanks quite regularly throughout the track, that’s problably the junction between two clips that was not really well made by the developers (or the composer himself).

Yeah I figured that’s the reason why.

Btw the song that plays when Sparky is torturing that Triad Chai is "C’mon" by Junior Senior:

Never played either game, but I’ve heard the music is good. I’ll have to give it a chance. So, my thanks for compiling good rips.

thank you very much for compiling this for us.

AWESOOOOOME!!!! looking for this stuff since I first played the game. thanks a lot!!
btw the website tracks ARE in the game. they play during the cutscenes.

btw the website tracks ARE in the game. they play during the cutscenes.Very glad you like it and you’re right, actually, those tracks are in the cutscenes but in the cutscenes only. What I wanted to say is that you can’t hear them on their own because those cutscenes are videos with the sound and image pre-mixed together by the developers and not mixed during the game like the background themes.

Plus, you never hear them entirely. Really nice that sam solid recorded them before the official site broke down.

Just a quick reply to say many, many thanks for doing this.

Great gamerip, thanks a lot!

Quick question though: What part of the game is "Website Theme 3" in? I can’t recall ever hearing it in any cutscene or ingame…

thanks for posting

Quick question though: What part of the game is "Website Theme 3" in? I can’t recall ever hearing it in any cutscene or ingame…Me neither, actually… Perhaps was it composed for the website itself?

Thanks, guys, for the kind words. 🙂

I can’t for the life of me get Part 2 to start downloading…

Mediafire glitch?
Mirror location anywhere?

Edit:
Downloaded via Mipony; disregard post.

Hi, BJtheBassist. I’ve tried right now to download Part 2 and it worked fine for me… It probably was just a glitch and should work for you as well, now.

Anyway, good thing you managed to get round the problem with Mipony (but what is it, actually?).

thx man i love you!

THANK YOU for ripping The Getaway soundtrack! I’ve been looking for it for years!!

I read before Sony originally was planning to make a OST CD back in 2002 but it never actually was done.

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GEM. I HAVE PRAYED FOR AN OST TO BE RELEASED> THIS IS THE NEXT BEST THING<

LEGEND!!!

I love you!!!!
