According to Variety's online blog
The Set List, Rounder Records will release a long overdue
official score soundtrack for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The album
will contain 29 tracks from seasons 2 through 4, composed by
Christophe Beck (Bring It On,
Elektra, Confidence) and released on September 9th.
Here is the track list:
1. Massacre (from “Becoming”)
2. Angel Waits (from “Passion”)
3. Remembering Jenny (from “Passion”)
4. Twice the Fool (from “Bewitched, Bothered and
Bewildered”)
5. Moment of Happiness (from “Innocence”)
6. Loneliness of Six (from “Lover’s Walk”)
7. Sugar High (from “Band Candy”)

10. Magic Snow Music (from “Amends”)
11. Slayer’s Elegy (from “The Wish”)
12. Faith’s End (from “Graduation Day”)
13. Drink Me (from “Graduation Day”)
14. One Last Moment (from “Graduation Day”)
15. Haunted (from “Fear Itself”)
16. From the Grave (from “This Year’s Girl”)
17. Demon Got Your Tongue (from “Hush”)
18. Golf Claps (from “Hush”)
19. The Princess Screams (from “Hush”)
20. Spellbound (from “Who Are You?”)
21. Fyarl in the Morning (from “A New Man”)
22. A Really Big Sandbox (from “Restless”)
23. Spaghetti (from “Restless”)
24. Body Paint (from “Restless”)

26. The Tower (from “The Gift”)
27. Losing Battle (from “The Gift”)
28. Apocalypse (from “The Gift”)
29. Sacrifice (alternate version, from “The Gift”)
Personally, I'm mostly excited for the previously unavailable
material from season 4 (especially "Restless"), as I already have
the rest from Beck's original promotional discs. Hopefully, if this
sells well, we may see a second volume some time in the future. I
wouldn't say no to music from the remaining seasons, either
(particularly Thomas Wanker's work on "Into The Woods" and
"Smashed").
For anyone interested in making their own compilation, here's the
track list from Christophe Beck's promotional discs for Buffy the
Vampire Slayer.
NOTE: The order of these tracks may seem odd at first, as they are
not initially in chronological order. The reason for this is, if
you listen to the music very carefully, you will realize that much
of it is actually seamlessly mixed together, like one, very long
suite:
1. Resurrection
2. Twice The Fool
3. Remembering Jenny
4. Ampata's Kiss
5. Devil Child
6. What's That Do?
7. Sledgehammer
8. Cursed
9. Angel Waits
10. Mob Rush
11. Accused
12. Escape
13. Moment Of Happiness
14. The Buffy Rat
15. Love Is Forever
16. Robot Rampage
17. Show Me Your World
18. Waking Willow
19. Massacre
20. Vision Of Jenny
21. As Angel Becomes
22. The Mark Of Eyghon*
23. Deliverance
24. Tai Chi
25. Sugar High
26. Loneliness Of Six
27. Bizarro Sunnydale
28. Blood Machine
29. Slayer's Elegy
30. Dublin, 1938
31. Dreaming Of...
32. Magic Snow Music
33. Betrayal

*The end of this track starts to lead into a new, unknown piece of
music. So, either a cue is missing from the promotional CD, or the
track list I got from Blunt
Instrument is inaccurate. Anyone who can clarify, please send
email.

****I can't even remember where I got this from. I'm not entirely
sure if it's from the composer, or if a talented fan did their own
cover of this piece. It's difficult to tell, since Beck mostly uses
synth instruments in his work as well.
