It sounds EXACTLY like the music you hear from the Zerg briefing room.



And this movie was released a year after Starcraft also! What is this... a coincidence? a rip off? I think it's pretty awesome that my all time favorite and most influencial game of my childhood contains music from the most influential movie of my young adulthood lol

Video is so quiet I can barely hear the music.

There are a few other movies where I swear i've heard sounds from SC. Can't think of any ATM tho =/.

OR

Blizzard bought the music, along with a lot of the other sounds, from a third party.

I've heard the dropship unloading noise on a Rowntree's sweets advert

this has been brought up before, I don't know if it was on TL but I remember reading about this years ago, and even remember when watching the movie I heard part of the zerg song and knew.

yes you're right, a lot of sounds are from a company that makes sounds for movies. I know for a fact that there are FTPs where authorized audio producers can take sounds from a giant library. Often you will hear a human scream or a futuristic door opening that you once heard in DOOM.

also a lot of music that is made electronically is done by the use of plugins, virtual instruments if you will. These plugins often have presets which are basically sounds that are already premade and it's highly likely that both fight club and blizzard used the same plugin and the same preset. Honestly it sounds like a preset that was tuned a certain way and is an arpeggiator/loop built into the program that gives you this sound.

thats possible, but the fight club one compared to the Starcraft one makes the Starcraft one sound almost... 8-bit

I used to play a game, and its "theme tune" turned up in a Fat Joe single. Hilarity ensued

The music in Heroes III is another thing that gets ripped off alot. I have heard it in so many movies, commercials etc. I've always wondered how that works out and if everyone could just freely use it

I am pretty sure that all these companies get the sounds all from a common 3rd party provider. It doesn't really bother me, they still sound good, haha.
