This is a mix of the music that played in the 2015 HITMAN Closed Alpha and its Paris level (that eventually became Showstopper). It was eventually scrapped and reworked before release, giving us the current Paris soundtrack we all know.

I couldn't hear some of those tracks in-game, especially extraction themes since kill objectives do not seem to update, so some labels were invented based on similarities with the final soundtrack. I also couldn't find few parts in the files like suspicious theme and various audio cues, thus they weren't included.
Overall despite having been scrapped, this soundtrack has a style that's very similar to the rest of Season 1 tracks, with pompous strings and brass. You can even notice that a couple tracks were only slightly reworked, and that the main theme/extraction theme leitmotif was already present.

I've included footage of me testing gameplay mechanics from the alpha. There's a lot to discuss when you compare it to the final game or even HITMAN 2 (and Absolution).
Video is choppy because as one could expect, the alpha isn't optimized at all in particular around crowds.
