We're so lucky to have one of the best composers in the universe making music for us! We're delighted that you enjoyed it so much. ⭐

[LikeaZombey]

Stellaris music is always nice to listen to as I micro manage my planets while two ancient empires start a galactic scale war against each other.

Sudden "System Survey Complete"

edit> wow never had this much likes on my comment before. fr the music in this game is just amazing to hear in-between massive amount pop-ups and micromanagement

[MrBadcody]

THERE WAS VOCALS FOR THIS SONG??? I only know of the instrumental 😂

[emperortivurnis]

Faster Than Light's opener reminds me so much of Mass Effect and its part of why I love it.

"We can't go back" is a good read onthis song. Every Stellaris game starts, mostly, with your custom species just after its achieved FTL tech. In scifi that represents the big achievement to going from space faring empire to intergalactic empire. Through a game your empire will advance from simple species to a full on ascended species of like robots, psychics, or evolutionarly unshackled people. So there is no turning back from that future after going FTL.

[MaulMachine]

The Stellaris soundtrack is colossal, and can play for hours without looping. It's a real treat.

[StarboyXL]

YES! FINALLY HE'S REACTING TO STELLARIS MUSIC! Big Stellaris fan, you will be delighted I think by the music Stellaris has to offer. The recent expansion (The Machine Age) added some cyberpunk, grungy music to the playlist if you want something a bit more modern, but other than that Stellaris has a wide variety of classical-esque numbers to enjoy. Can't wait until you delve into Endless Space 2's OST!

[MrXanderAle]

In my mind this song is the representation of the pov of the first science ship leaving your starting system. Not the scientist or the crew, the ship itself.

Also there is a ton of fantastic tracks in stellaris, I hope you get to react to more of those!

[Talon]

The best part about the Stellaris soundtrack is that it's got a semi-dynamic aspect to it.

Like there's a script or something that takes what's happening in the galaxy and subtly weights the tracks to play.

That's what I heard, at least. But it kinda makes sense. A galaxy on the edge of allout war would sound very different musically than one experiencing prolonged peace.

[grimstruck]

It’s just beautiful it really captures every part of the endless expanse of space I fell like you could put this on loop forever and it will never lose that sense of wonder

[Kuribohcoast]

this fucking song is what made me buy Stellaris and now im A THOUSAND HOURS DEEP

[Jovian]

If you're doing Stellaris you have got to hear Endless Space/2. Arnaud Roy's work is so good it's almost its own genre.

[BelkaWeiss]

Faster Than Light has always been one of my favorites from the OST. Deep Space Travels is another amazing one. That freakin organ ohmagod. Spacial Lullaby is nice. The remixes they added are solid too. Dragon's Breath. So many good songs in the game. Really can't go wrong with them until you're 100 hours in and need a break.

Since you've hit the Agnus Dei from Ace Combat, can you do Adagio for Strings from the Homeworld Remastered OST? I've been watching playthroughs of the series because the new one is coming out and I've always liked the story, just never played the games myself. That OST hit my like a train in the opening for the first game. Didn't expect it at all. Love you man. Keep up the awesome work.

[evil_cupcake]

I've never played Stellaris, but the OST is already burning my repeat button through and through. Such a hypnotic soundtrack. Truly let you feel that you are in space

[themastamanhd]

If you haven't their renditions, Hearts of Iron 4 did their own published work for Bella Ciao and Katyusha. You would love both so much.

[Glalev]

This is one of the more iconic tracks of Stellaris. Overall, you tend to be focused on the gameplay while the music serves as a pleasant backdrop so it has to be soothing and understated, but it remains beautiful and stirring and this one fits the exploration focused early game extremely well as your young specie leaves their home and roams the universe to see what, and who, is out there.

[AlphaAttila]

I really like those very subtle whale like sounds as a reminder that even though you are now in the space age, there are living animals that were living in space for millions of years. Its the same as swimmer meeting a whale, same feeling of awe on natures beauty

[Gigastro]

So weird to hear the song without the notifications from the game. I also haven't heard this version with the vocals! a fine discovery to be sure.

[Smike]

I honestly don't know any of the song names from Stellaris. When I play I always have a set of mods that add Mass Effect, Star Wars, and Endless Legend/Space music on shuffle. This game can either be the most chill micro managing sim ever, or the most chaotic and stressful "oh god our empire has been a perpetual state of collapse for 130 years and now were caught between a space-mongol horde and an awakened ancient empire"
