Score or Soundtrack?
Some time ago I read about the differences between Score and Soundtrack... to be honest I do not remember what it was all about, but this album's cover clearly states "Original Soundtrack". So shouldn't this article be renamed to "Hitman: Contracts (soundtrack)"? --F4LL0UT (talk) 06:41, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Generally thinking, the music or songs appearing in the game are soundtracks that should be contained in the album. But as you can see, copyright may be a problem. For example, the last three songs you (F4LLOUT) erased are not composed by Jesper Kyd, which I think IO Interactive may have no right to put them into commercial use such as releasing, selling and distributing in an album, because they are not ORIGINAL Soundtrack.

1, Paul Anka - Put Your Head on My Shoulder (2:37) is played in a scenario in which the dead girl is hung on ceiling in mission 2 - The Meat King's Party

2, Clutch - Immortal (3:39) is played in gang group bar in mission 5 - Rendezvous in Rotterdam

3, Puressence - Walking Dead (3:24) is played in a bar as backgroud music in mission 6 - Deadly Cargo

But sometimes there are exceptions, such as the soundtrack of animated films Madagascar (franchise). Although it features a film score by Hans Zimmer, still borrows lots of songs from various different sources. So I am little confused, can we still call the album Original Soundtracks (OST)?

 * Well, my question considering the definition of "soundtrack" and "score" had nothing to do with the removal of these three tracks. I actually just deleted them because they are not part of the "original soundtrack" which is the topic of this article (and since this article's name still is "score", licensed music has nothing to do with it anyway). Btw: IOI has nothing to do with the original soundtrack. You can be sure that IOI or rather Eidos paid for the licensed music so it could be used in the game but in most cases the "original soundtrack" is being produced solely by the soundtrack's composer (and of course Jesper Kyd won't add licensed music to his own album, just because the game's developers decided to use it in their game). Also notice that a soundtrack does not have to contain the complete music used in a film/game - so the fact, that the licensed music used in the game cannot be found on this album, won't change anything about it being a soundtrack. --F4LL0UT (talk) 21:12, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
