StarCraft II Music

[BoneBreaker]

For those who have no access to the BETA, I uploaded the current music onto youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/HowToCarry.

Some of those remind me of CABAL Online(if someone played that here. ), and they're ALL awesome.

Rofl, the Protoss music starts off ridiculously similar to half the music in WoW.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

@ Hawkwing - thats what I thought, the Protoss music has no place for chorus of people singing, this is not WoW, war3, middle ages... The terran music is some country music that is imo WAYY inappropriate. Compare the old Terran music from SC1, I loved it and it was very space music, and the music now... so not suitable some guitar. The Zerg music btw rox

 

[Kimbo]

it all sounds nice and lovely, but everytime i try to recall the terran music in sc1 i keep getting halo music

 

[Hawkwing]

Yeah, I agree completely. Also, there's not a lot of variety between the different themes for Terran.

This is the only one with any essence of the original Starcraft, in my opinion:

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

Eh? Yeah this is a terran music, I find some musics COMPLETELY inappropriate. The space sounds are gone, they don't fit the space that's all I find wrong with the game.

 

[BSWhunter]

The theme music is pretty nice. I like the starting, reminds me of the original one.

But yeah, I miss the old terrain musics.

 

[Ghost765]

one of the faster paced sc1 terran themes had an electric guitar or something that sounded extremely similar to one. in fact im pretty sure all of them had a guitar in one place or another.

The best track so far is actually the battle.net lobby one imo. I thought it was a terran track at first but I guess not.

Are you serious? I made this thread to share MY uploads, not some guy who obviously uploaded a second-source video (uses same background image as mine, amplitude of his sound much lower, not to mention the superposition which decreased its quality)... I don't just don't get it.

But seriously, thanks for uploading all of the music at an acceptably good quality level. Most YouTube users upload crap that has been processed and transcoded five times, with increasingly worse settings each time. Glad to see there are still some good ones out there, like yourself.

Chill out dude, your channel only had three uploads when I first checked it so I looked up the song manually when I thought of it.

God forbid you lose out on those views though, sheesh.

 

[Deolrin]

Gleeful, you didn't look good enough. His channel contains ALL the SC2 music, as far as I know.

 

[Gleeful]

Yeah, I know that now

However, as far as I recall there was only three the first time I checked, even when dropping down the uploads menu, which is why my initial reaction was to look it up myself.

If it makes you feel better I already edited my post.

sc1 terran music involved country style and guitar.
That's precisely the reason there is country guitar in Terran sc2 because they captured the essence of sc1 musics.

 

[Hawkwing]

Yes, but Starcraft I had 'umph.'

 

[Tleno]

To be honest I like the new terran music more than sc1 one. I like the sound of electric guitar and, well, the variety this musical sounds.

 

[The_Phalanx]

The 2:20 to 3:20 of the protoss theme01 sounds pretty protoss. The rest is crap. The terran music kinda makes me thing of SC1 Music smashed together with Halo music.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, let's pray Blizzard catches wind of the fail in their music and changes it. It's still the beta.

 

[JanSze]

I never played SCI so I cant say that I liked the old music better but the music is pretty neat even if it may not sound like the original music.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

I take my words about Protoss music BACK! The P music is just awesome! Very fitting for them, like Alien temple music! And the terran music is also nice, I dont dislike it as I did at first, but I still prefer some part of the musics replaced, cause in some cases we really go to Space Cowboy... And I prefer MILITARY music over Cowboy music. DOnt get me wrong, ther are 3 or 4 musics, 2 of them are very cool, but 2 of them are pure Cowboy music and MEH

See what getting used to a game means? It's always like that, play a game a lot and you will find even the game with the worst graphics such as 32 color game to be awesome.

 

[The Dark Wizard]

I did not like the terran in sc1/bw but in SC2 i play them just to hear the music !

 

[Ghost765]

you guys gotta remember most of the terrans arent even a really disciplined fighting force. most of them are criminals/rebels/etc. Not to mention Raynor lived in a trailer for awhile.
If you listen to the marine, he sorta has a hill billy accent, as does the siege tank, and the marauder...is black.
It wouldnt be fun if we took out all the humanity of the human race's songs.

 

[Tleno]

I actually like that new junky terran style. I mean now they are really more like space colonists that came to other worlds in hope to have a new, better life. Let's not forget that acording to Starcraft backstory humans send to colonize the world the roughest and tougheest of all the criminals.

 

[HINDYhat]

The Terran music is awesome. The Protoss music needs way more variety. Don't know anything about the Zerg music.

 

[Rui]

That's the positive thing about Terran music: although it doesn't look too good or fitting the first time, you eventually get used to it. The only track I didn't like was Terran 03.
But the Protoss music is just awesome. I grew fond of it the very first time I heard it.
I also listened to some Starcraft 1 tracks and I didn't really like any of the Terran or the Protoss. The Zerg's tracks 1 and 2 were good. Surprisingly enough, I don't like SC2 zerg music as much. But they're still not bad. Track 4 was quite good, as was 1 and 2. But all of them are short and not really something to listen to outside the game.

 

[nichawkins]

Hey i like the music of starcraft 2. xD
i just got beta yesterday.xD

Bump! I have retrieved this thread from the Information Sharing Center.

I take back what I said about SC1 music, I like the Protoss music so much that I actually listen to it often. I also listen to the Terran themes once in a while. I especially love that part at 5 minutes of "Terran 1". The thing with SC1 Protoss music is that its volume isn't too high and it's typically ambient, so it doesn't really say much when you listen to it the first and second times.

P.S. -- I just love the first 2 minutes of SC2-Protoss-03! It's so sad!

Also, I listened to a WoW track the other day in which I heard something nearly identical to a sequence of the SC1 Protoss music. I believe a few people will also agree with me if I state that SC1 music reminds you of WC2 music somewhat. My point being, music "ripping" isn't new, Blizzard has done it for all games they have released since, at least, WC2 (did WC1 even have music?).

EDIT (30-Jan): Listen to "Song of Elune". You'll notice a similarity with the music of the Protoss briefing room.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

I don't like the Space cowboy oh wait just cowboy theme.. It suits the deserts of Mar Sara but not space. But I like the new musics added with the release of the game that weren't in beta.

The P music is fine and I think the Z music rox. Suits it perfectly. Like in war3 when I get tired of them I will Ctr+M for eternity. I don't pay attention to them when playing meele tho, I like the campaign musics were also very nice for battles.

 

[Deolrin]

I liked the BETA music more, it was more noticeable and atmospheric than this new one. The new music is too silent and... Well, weak. I barely hear it over the sounds of the units.

 

[Coolty44]

Terran music is perfect. Is got that "Yes, we showed up, deal with it" feel. It keeps away from static and is somewhat sporadic in the sense that its all over the place, going from seriousness to relaxed to fun and back again.

 

[Deolrin]

The "space cowboy" music is what characterizes Terrans. I sure as hell don't want any Techno or 'futuristic-sounding' music; Just listen to a Marine once in a while, just listen to Raynor, they sure as hell sound like your average cowboy.

 

[kris4o]

Yes nice teme.
i have searched for the terran mussic.
