StarCraft | Terran Theme Two [Orchestral]

I finally got around to finishing this one - I boldly stated "coming next week" 1.5 years ago, but ended up struggling and getting burned out on the track. Very happy to have picked it up again and hope you enjoy it!

Really loving the these click-ish percussions in the background.

GOOD DAY, commander
Ah, the best ost ever! Thx!!

[@adamdesanti6713]

I appreciated this. The updated sound-libraries and fresh instrumentation bring a new flavour to the track, which was already very high-quality to begin with. Even if it's not _exactly_ like the original, all Starcraft enthusiasts will enjoy something here.

[@qui-gonjinn-ph6nb]

my favourite remix rn

[@Executor_Tassadar]

Sounds very impressive indeed my fellow templar.

[@Lixeffect]

I remember last week when Terran One came out - good times.

I had alot of fun listening to this! Brought back many childhood memories, I hope to hear a rendition of the 3rd and 4th theme too! Keep up the good work :)

[@solgast]

Great take! Keep em coming Pontus! Looking forward to more great soundtracks and nostalgia.

[@korby]

Cool idea and you showed some gameplay

[@harm991]

Cool rendition

[@mattdarrock666]

Perhaps some Warcraft 2 music next?

[@PY5RA]

shponglefan did a very good job on those years ago. But if Pontus wanna do it too, then I'm all ears ~!!

[@PontusHultgren]

Not really my thing, but I know Malcolm Robinson covered some themes from it and I remember them being really good!

[@mattdarrock666]

What if we keep poking him? 😅

You know I always love all your work but I gotta say there's some stuff that feels out of place in there.
But I love a lot of it. Like ... 90% of the composition is insanely good. Really really !
I grew with this music and I have a lot of nostalgy attached to it. I can remember my very first custom matches and the exact location of my buildings on this song !
So if I may, without any disrespect, and subjectively give an honest opinion about your work :
Starcraft OST is one of a kind, and I think that saturated and crunchy vibe in all Terran OST (due to whatever compression system that was used back then) is impossible to reproduce. Like, ever. Even with all the love you can give to the song, I sincerely think nobody will ever match the style of the original OST.
Now that was said, this mythic song has few "themes" in it. And since I remember my very first game on it, I can understand different things (in the OG song)
In order
- 00:00 : Landing/Rise of the Terran
- 00:15 : Exploration, scouting, expansion and technology advancement
- 00:46 : Realization you're not alone and there's some crazy shit out there on the map
- 1:31 : Heck, we aint gonna die here without a fight. Lets stand up and fight
- 1:52 : "Ready to roll out !" Lets have some fun bursting through some lings !
- 3:04 : Fall and ultimate stand-off of the Terran
- 3:31 : There's are even more crazier stuff out there ... Sorrow ... "The fall of the terran and respect to all lost unit out there"
Landing is perfect. Nothing to say here.
For the 2nd timecode, I'm missing that feeling of progression, of novelty and insane technologies doing their things. It feels like the Landing happened and we're simply staying "there" as an army without any evolution anywhere.
For the 3rd timecode, the transition to the 4th part of the song is even better in your version than in the original, imo. It grows and grows in better shapes than the linear one from the original.
For the 4th : Nothing to say honestly.
For the 5th : The one that really bugged me out
. Starting at 2:21 to 2:36, I don't feel inside some 2 tons armor shooting at lings and laughing as they burst like bags of hemoglobin, I hear the sound of a casino. It's so weird. And I lost that "grounded to earth" sensation.
As for 2:37, in your version, I can literally see the brass shouting their music. But the OG had that weird bass effect that does not even make sense. And it gave some unique personality to the song that erased the brass.
For the 6th & 7th : It's perfect, you captured all the feelings perfectly.
Anyway, that's my take about what the music made me feel. Like I said. 90% is perfect.
Love your work, sorry the impossibly long chunk of text, nostalgia is speaking.

[@PontusHultgren]

Appreciate the feedback! I know what you mean - The ost has such a unique feel to it, a lot of nuance and such a cool soundscape. A bit difficult to capture while trying to add something new to it, but I wish I would have had access/knowledge of some of the synths that Glenn Stafford used in the OG.

APPLAUSE FOR THE CREATOR

[@MisogynyMan]

StarCraft but its Larry Laffer.

[@GeneralTarge]

Take it slow.

[@solidjb]

a miss for me unfortunately. maybe i'm just too used to original grittier instrument selection.

[@kainestolkyn]

Ick. This is not good. The composer for Starcraft 2 did a masterful job recreating the original, and it did not need to be redone. This is not near as smooth and true to the atmosphere as even the original in Starcraft 1. Those unfamiliar with those works might appreciate this track, but it was annoying to listen to for those of us more familiar with the games and the original soundtrack.

Long-winded rambling comment with no specific details.

[@jud6ment]

Did you know you do not have to comment? Did you know sometimes that is the polite thing to do? Like there is a human that uploaded this and you can be respectful of him.
