For years I've been playing versions of SC that don't have the menu music. The second I heard the high pitched sound at 0:26 the most insane feeling of nostalgia washed over me, like hearing the voice of an old friend you haven't heard from in years. The new parts of the music seem kind of forced though and different in tone than the old mysterious space-y music.

I kinda felt like there's a bit of Total Annihilation theme between like 1:10 and 1:30
Am I alone ?

It's too bad the people behind the music at Blizzard rarely gets any attention in the media. I mean if I mention Dustin Browder, Samwise Didier and Chris Sigaty a lot of people will say that they know who they are or that they at least recognize the names. But if I mention Tracy W. Bush, Derek Duke, Glenn Stafford or Russell Brower hardly anyone is going to react.

Those guys are geniuses.

Reminds me of some of the soundtracks on the old Batman Returns directed by Tim Burton combined with like Star Wars and something else.

Danny Elfman's stuff specifically.

Has no one pointed out the fact that this contains the Hyperion Overture that Blizzard released a while ago as a part of Echoes of War?

No one knew what it was for/from. Now we know.

ahhh this is such a breath of fresh air. It's not very original, but nevertheless very good and better than what I was expecting. I can't say it's better than an Uematsu or Sakuraba soundtrack, though.

I've been really disappointed with most of the Terran music so far... I really hope they change it to something more deep. The protoss theme is AWESOME, and the zerg themes are boring (lol).

I guess I've been stuck here (Oberlin) too long if I'm thinking that.

I guess this is the "March of Jim Raynor" or something then. Awesome.

For those of you wondering, here's something from Sakuraba:

and something from Uematsu:

It's a remake of the original theme, combined with the cinematic trailer theme. So epic.

The Hyperion Overture is my favorite music in the Echoes of War. It has a really epic feeling. In the OP video, it starts around 1:00

The OST will be worth the additional $40 in the CE price-tag alone!

I think this will become my new drive-around-town music.
