"Beyond The Sea" is the obvious standout, Bobby Darin's voice echoing through impossible underwater corridors. "St. James Infirmary Blues" brings that mournful, smoky jazz that fits perfectly with finding audio logs from dead strangers.
Chopin's "Nocturne in E-flat major" adds this haunting elegance between the chaos. Then "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" just wrecks you if you played Infinite. The whole collection captures that specific Bioshock feeling of beauty rotting from the inside.
Perfect background listening for anyone who still thinks about Rapture at weird hours.
