Restored Beta Music

This mod restores 17 tracks that were present in pre-release versions of Hot Pursuit. It's an add-on, so no existing songs have been replaced.

Audio levels are relatively consistent, and I shortened some song mixes in a way similar to how a lot of the retail songs are mixed. I didn't really bother with censorship, most of these songs aren't too explicit anyway.

Tracklist:
Marilyn Manson - Tainted Love
Sleigh Bells - Tell Em'
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat The Devil's Tattoo
Funeral Party - Car Wars
Does It Offend You Yeah? - Pull Out My Insides
Matt and Kim - Cameras
Refused - New Noise (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)
Diplo - Make You Pop (with Don Diablo)
Does It Offend You Yeah? - Over Your Shoulder
Lethal Bizzle - Go Go Go
T.I. - Ya Hear Me
Does It Offend You Yeah? - Wrestler (This Is The Dance)
Tinie Tempah - Frisky
The Futureheads - The Connector
Hadouken! - Turn The Lights Out
!!! (Chk Chk Chk) - The Hammer
Does It Offend You Yeah? - Home Is Where The Heart Is (after remaining unreleased for 13 years and being classified as lost media for the last 6 years it was crazily enough discovered less than a DAY after I initially finished and published the first version of the mod)

There's an optional extras folder which adds the following

OPTIONAL 1 Two extra tracks:
Deadmau5 - You Need A Ladder - Original version of Sofi Needs A Ladder, mentioned in the game files. Samples the Legend of Zelda theme. Was eventually replaced with the Sofi rendition.
Sleigh Bells - Crown On The Ground - Featured in the NFSHP Remastered trailer. Since one of their other tracks was originally slated to be in the game, I figured it might've been appropriate to add this one in as well. (Aaand there's also some slight bias at play, as I love Treats.) Hope you dig the distortion :)

OPTIONAL 2 Pull Out My Insides demo mix (used in beta builds):
Includes an unreleased demo version of Does It Offend You Yeah? - Pull Out My Insides which was the version used in pre-release beta builds. Is a lot more derivative of post-punk, far brasher.

P.S: I recommend setting the playlist order on shuffle in the game options, unless you don't mind the beta songs playing back-to-back. Re-organizing the entire playlist is a bit of a hassle for something so admittedly quaint. I may do it in a future update, as the game's shuffle mode can be a bit wonky.

Car wars and Home is where the heart is are such awesome songs.. It sucks that it was cut in the first place.

In the Russian version of the game, two tracks have a conflict. "Diplo - Make You Pop (with Don Diablo)" and "Does It Offend You Yeah? - Home Is Where The Heart Is" have different text in the title. For example, "This product key has already been used" or "You cannot enter this event...".
