"By the numbers boys" "Burrrrn rubber" "Ah, you scared me" "Ready to roll out" "Say the word baby" "Lifelights here" "Transformation systems primed" "Gimme something to kill" And of course "THOR IS HERE"
Man, to think a band actually played these songs. What would it have been like to perform music you knew that millions of people would hear many times and make memories to?
They used the acoustics of an old church for the Terran themes. Bassist Tony Levin played with John Lennon, and drummer Jerry Marotta played with Paul McCartney. You wouldn't think an old church would be a particularly good setting for space opera, but it totally works.
Definitely! It's not super distracting and good for focusing. I find a lot of music from Blizzard tends to be like that, which makes sense if you think about it. Not everything from the OST is like that though - music from cutscenes can be a little more distracting I think.
José Miguel Vieira Firefly. It's a sci-fi show created by Joss Whedon, about an old soldier who leads a ragtag bunch of misfits on criminal jobs. Basically a western in space. It got one season before Fox cancelled it but it has a huge cult following.
To me, this captures the essence of perseverance… when the odds seem to be against you, and finding the courage to fight on… to look annihilation in the face and say “not today”. 💪🏻
Ahh good times :) One that sticks out for some reason is the last mission of the WoL campaign. In the last moments the Zerg had broken through my lines and were flooding into my base. I was frantically marshaling whatever units I had left and sending them to the high ground by the Artifact, to hold out for that precious few seconds to win the mission. But there was this one poor bastard in a Siege Tank who couldn't get out in time. I could just picture myself screaming in Schwarzenegger's voice "Get to the choppa!!", but too late. He was surrounded by a flood of zerglings and cut off. I wasn't fast enough to order him to stop and fight, get in a few good hits before the Zerg tore him up like canned lunchmeat. RIP nameless Siege Tank commander.
Those kinds of moments are why I first got into RTS games. Sure, the competitive aspect of Starcraft is fun, but I can really get into the action and "drama" of the game too.
When I'm at work and I need to get sh*t done, I put this on. I've knocked out things that would normally take a few hours in half the time while listening to SC2 Terran music. It just makes you get sh*t done.
Nothing beats this soundtrack and the Zerg medley for writing papers. It depends on your mood: if you want to use every cunning trick in the book to assure a passing grade and spite your professors, go Zerg. But if you're fighting a noble struggle against procrastination to get that winning mark, Terran all the way!
12:33 one of the most legendary tracks. One of my best pals asks me to put this on almost every time he sits in my car. Mind you he doesn't play SC2. That tells you how amazing this song is. Goosebumps everytime
It's interesting to compare this music with the StarCraft 1 Terran music, and think about how the Terran aesthetic has changed between the two games. The Terran music in SC1 still definitely had "cowboy" and "military" vibes, but the focus was really on the "sci-fi" vibe. The Terran music in SC2, meanwhile, significantly toned down the sci-fi stuff and focused on the cowboy and military aspects.
@@ReesusSardonicus but he's not wrong. SC1 was better in it's more darker themes and tone, it was a incomplited Warhammer game after all. SC2 is good, but first one will be always better.
I play this every time I need to get a lot of work done fast over multiple days, and it works 100% of the time. The Terrans really were onto something.
12:30 when you get home to the bar after killing 100 zerglings, with the crew. Start drinking and take a break at the porch lighting a cigar even if it was a good day and you completed your mission you lost 2 good marines.
0:00 4:11 8:07 12:30 16:16 music restarts 19:17 23:20 27:17 31:40 35:26 Kudos to John Speed for sharing this info below. Reposting so it appears at the top when I return to this video.
Came here to celebrate Space Force's rising. Soon my Terran brethren , you won't be a fantasy novel. We'll be the ones wearing these gorgeous suits , exploring the vast space.
This sound track brings me to tears every time. no other game has ment as much as this one to me in 22 years of gaming. Mostly played protoss on ladder but had to occasionally do some goofy terran things for their god-tier music.
I really hope we'll get a StarCraft 3 one that will be made with passion towards the subject and the drive to tell a great story. It doesn't have to be about saving the universe, but the re are so many characters and a great universe that deserves to be more.
Sad to say, the Blizzard that made SC2 and WC3 is dead and all the developers and artists that made these games great are gone. StarCraft 3 will either never happen or it's going to be a pay2win microtransaction-filled pile of garbage designed to extract as much money as possible from gamers and transfer it into the activision/blizzard shareholders pockets.
@@slowfuse There was talk about a bunch of old-blizzard SC2 developers who moved on to make a new RTS called "Stormgate" but it has been incredibly quiet for about a year.
I just hope that if SC3 ever comes out, that the Terrans are the ones to receive the best legendary soundtracks. It should be a tradition at this point. Just like it was in SC1. With that said, though, looking at the current state of Blizzard, I don't think we will ever get a new Starcraft game. Or at least one that'll live up to the historical status of the previous ones.

Mierda! , esa combinacion DIVINA de Rock, Blues, Groovie , country y orquestal, es sin dudas es para quitarse el sombrero, el tremendo cariño y expresividad de ambientarte a cada secuencia del juego con esos ORGASMICAS BANDAS SONORAS
Still my favorite race to play in SC1 and 2. The music is always the best and I remember just doing mass Marines with Thors or Battlecruisers behind them. Also the Vikings have always been my favorite unit in the games.
I made a Starcraft 2 map in Starcraft Brood War. It was fun, reapers were Jim Raynors that could glide for 2 seconds with like fire going everywhere. Medivacs were dropships that followed your troops and healed them. Goliaths changed mode into Valkyries and back. Wraiths were that one plane and shot missiles that did some splash damage...but then my comp crashed and lost that map.
Oh I found a video of the beta stages of my game. I did make a map with more advanced triggers but this is what the first one looked like /watch?v=lt7ZcUS8GGU
sounds like a Futuristic Industrial Bon Jovi theme if you think about it (minus any lyrics of course). However... hell yes on the memories that were had when starcraft 2 was briefly fun messing around with Terran while hearing this track.
It's been hard to appreciate the music lately in Starcraft 2 lately because recently i've been really concentrating on the actual game itself. But I love music so much that it distracts me; so i play with the music on 50% volume. Still, I just play the original music in the game as intended to keep me into it. It's a hard choice between kicking ass or kicking bass XD. Dem riff's.
This takes me back to the times where starcraft 2 just came up, I was playing with 30 inch monitor cause mine was broken, colors were stunning but I got red eyes whole week from playing from such a big monitor from a close range :D
Lost Planet 3 is a pretty good Starcraft game. You play an SCV and shoot aliens in a space western setting. I think it is really really close to the real deal. That is why I listened to Terran Themes during my entire playthrough and it made the game feel really amazing.
Ironicly one of the best guitar solo ever, the bluesy-metal vibe is so well mixed, orchestral, blackmetal, heavymetal... but in a soft techno version? Love it ! id buys albums of this xD
The music in Blizzard games are just amazing.... they are just an amazing company of video games.. much better than others. Valve and Blizzard are the best video games companies for me
You should have a look at Amplitude Studios, a (french) company who made Endless Legend, Endless Space and recently Endless Space 2, they have beautiful soundtracks too ! Here are the soundtracks =) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IP9n1CANQO0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QLOpdWMbebI.html
Platinum games, Atlus, Retro Studios, Kojima productions, From Software, and Blizzard (just for Starcraft 1 & 2 since I feel their later games have more flaws. That have trashed the lore and mystery on the stories they built). -Valve has literally dropped the ball 10 miles under Sea level. For their current actions on not releasing a 3rd installment to anything, sloppy customer support, chasing after mediocrity of ideals in VR, the mess that is CS:GO, the complete ignorance of TF2, and most importantly the Dota Card game (seriously what the fuck valve.)
I load and unload cargo aircraft for a living. On those days where the urge to greet a supervisor with, "SCV reporting for duty!", is overwhelming, this music goes on repeat.
My playstyle fits zerg perfectly but this music is just so good that when i hear it i feel like an idiot for even considering playing other than terran.
In StarCraft, I prefer the terran race and mostly relate to the SCVs. When I see them building structures, I feel like this relates to my mechanical engineering study. I actually wanna grow up to become an SCV.
@@RB-mm7ce a roach at best... Well, actually now that I think about it, my job involves building very complex machinery (won't share details), so yes, an SCV :-)
