Suite of the Swarm is an album of electronic music where each track is based on a unit from Starcraft 2. The music tries to capture the essence of the unit in whatever quirky sense that meant to me. The first track is called Prrreow (Or How I Lost My Scouting Probe To A Zergling Rush) and it's about the harrowing adventure of a scouting probe through treacherous territory. Listen to it here:
You can hear previews of the other tracks at CDBaby. There are 13 tracks here, each inspired by a unit from Starcraft II. Finally you can join a Thor Rave, Lament your lost Protoss Homeworld, and Polka with the Banelings!
Here are further descriptions of the other tracks:
