Taking Alan Wake to my iPod

I just finished playing Alan Wake the other day and had a blast.  The only problem was that while the fourth episode was amazing, in my opinion, I found myself wanting to listen to the rock song that's played without having to replay the section.   
 
I started looking into the soundtrack and did end up bidding for it on Ebay, I also found out that it didn't have this song on it.  After a "WTF?" moment that was apparently shared by other forum-frequenters, I remembered that I was on the internet and that where there's info, there's a way to get it.  
 
What I eventually found was a website, oldgodsofasgard.com.  This little guy not only has the song I was looking for, Children of the Elder God, but also features The Poet and the Muse, another song by the Old Gods of Asgard. 
 
If anyone reads this, I hope that you're an Alan Wake fan and that you enjoy the website.

Thanks! I've been trying to collect what I can in terms of game soundtracks and this definitely helps out.

That music was written and performed by Poets of the Fall (who also happen to have an official songs of theirs in the game as well - it plays both during the credits and on the radio - the presenter even goes as far as to say that they remind him of the local band old gods of asgard in a nice little 4th wall breaking moment for me) and these guys have had a long history with Remedy, having done the credits theme for Max Payne 2 and getting big on that. 
 
Over all, the musical choices in Alan Wake I found to be inspired - any game that has a mixture of Poe, Poets of the Fall and Nick Cave is just so full of win. I don't think I skipped a single credits song either - just like the Sopranos or Deadwood, the different ending track really helped sell me on the mood and give me time to let the events of the prior chapter sink in.

Children of The Elder God isn't on the soundtrack, which is weird. Both fantastic songs though.
