If you want the Poets of the Fall songs (note Old Guards of Asgard is just the fictional in-game band, the real songs are by POTF), those songs are not on that soundtrack. HOWEVER, if you buy it the collectors edition on Steam (50 cents more) you get the full soundtrack installed into your Alan Wake directory as .MP3 files. From what I can tell, the only musical bonus you get with the GOG version is the "War" music video. So buy it from Steam if you're into the music. I seem to remember there was something weird about the music rights to the Max Payne 2 song "The Late Goodbye" as well. I can't figure out of these guys are working with agents that don't know WTF they are doing or if they are just marketing geniuses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KuFmGxMcZI
