Imo the Terrans will have the same old sci-fi techno thing, the Zergs will have a even darker synth, and the 'toss will have kick ass orchestral songs

Well, what do you think?

Well, what do you think?Some improvements on Terran and Zerg.

I love the zerg and terran music; they're catchy and stick with you for a while. Protoss, on the other hand, is a little pretentious, and IMO, gets a little old after the first couple of times you hear it. I'd like improvement in that one.

Also, I can't wait to hear the next zerg song!

I'd like to have a bit more "epic" music for all three. But I believe Browder said somewhere (SCLegacy, perhaps) that they plan to do that.

The music we've been hearing all the time (from the trailers and whatnot) is one of the Protoss themes.

I don't really care too much about game music, but SC's is pretty good. The Zerg music, though, shouldn't bore me to death. In any case, it's always better to open iTunes and play some ROCK AND ROLL!! Hopefully, SC2 will have better music than SC1.

kick ass orchestral songs
I'm looking forward to that, Orchestral stuff is always good background music for games. One example would be Halo. Halo has some great orchestra music.

I agree. Halo has one of the best soundtracks ever.

It would be awesome if we had similar music for SC2. Especially for cinematics.

I liked the original SC soundtrack for what it was, but the new 3D environment and look demands something a little less cheesy.

I really like the WC3 soundtrack, and I'm a big fan of the background stuff for the SC2 trailers and demos too. Hopefully more of that, but subtly different for the Terran and Zerg... whatever that means in practice.

That was kind of like opening song and a few parts in the game and cinematics. Other parts had the theme song, like when you go to kill the Scarab in the Metro level or something. Then best parts were Rock and Roll, like at the end of Gravemind, when the huge Covenant/Brute battle is going on and there's a hell load of white elites, including one with a Fuel Rod gun :/
Anyways, the "orchestra" music should be kept for the Protoss, if anything.

The opening song is actually a bunch of women chanting (And one random guy I must add)

well, in the singleplayer demo video you could actually hear the new terran music. i think it pwns!

do you think they will include hidden tracks, like radio free zerg?
"Awaken, my child, and embrache the glory what is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind, the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me!" (omg, i know this part by heart)

Too bad the Overmind got wtfpwnt. GO GO TERRAN DOMINANCE!
TitanWing

Uh...I believe the Terrans had little to do with the Overmind's fall in Vanilla (no medics, so I used Toss to win) and the Zerg took out the 2nd Overmind.

Most, if not all, of that music was from SC1.

Great video anyways.

Now that we've actually heard some of it, Do you guys feel that the SC2 terran music lives up to the original music? I personally thought they did a good job of using the same sort of instruments as some of the original tracks, but also keeping it original and upbeat. I was wondering though, what do you guys think?

i think the music should be like the music in the halo games, each game the music sounds similar to the last but is significantly different, but im sure some one (blizzard or 3rd party) will make a mod to add the SC music
TitanWing

I'd really like some Halo-themed orchestral music for the Protoss and this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=DA_uqz_Juxc) kind of music for the Terrans.
BlackDefiler

and this kind of music for the Terrans

that's Hans Zimmer: Hummel Gets the Rockets

But I don't think that Blizz would licence existing music themes. Although some really heavy military-like theme would be awesome.

I know, I have it on my comp. :P

I didn't mean to copy music, just have somewhat similiar themes.
