Thirdly, you can listen to bits of soundtrack in the following two clips from the movie.
Fourthly, Film Music: The Neglected Art has a review of the soundtrack, noting that:
This soundtrack is one of the very best to be released in 2007, which this reviewer can say in spite of my admiration and respect for Desplat, as many of you are well aware of. While many times more is not necessarily better in regards to soundtracks the 74+ minutes went by very quickly. All of the 26 tracks were of some interest albiet there were favorites as mentioned above. My highest recommendation goes out to this score. It certainly deserves an Oscar nomination!
Finally, the composer of the computer game of The Golden Compass, Jaimie Christopherson, has posted an interesting diary on IGN; you can download two tracks as well.
