" Assembling the Fleet " has a subtle start, but instead of building up into a climactic force, it telegraphs a distant hope.It builds up to a crescendo and then remains thoroughly epic throughout till the end. " Hostile Fleet Detected " was shown off during the Commonwealth of Man's revenge for its UNE brothers and sisters." Deep Space Travels " starts out quiet, but then bursts into an epic theme with a mix of synths and a pipe organ.Who would have thought the track for an Ascended Meme would be so beautiful? Truly befitting of a Bold Explorer. "In Memory of Mercedes Romero" A mournful piece sprinkled with a bit of hope.

The song was released as a single for streaming a month later.

"NOT ALONE", the theme music of 4th anniversary trailer of the game, a haunting ballad about leaving behind a one-planet existence and exploring the wide galaxy (though lyrics-wise it could just as well have been a love song).The combination of an orchestral melody, electronic backing, and quick yet powerful drumbeats combined perfectly to create a mix that's perfectly futuristic and otherworldly for the game. Prior to using the Paradox Launcher, Stellaris' launcher would use the track "The Birth of a Star" as background music." Towards Utopia: Nova Flare " a remix that inverts the synth and orchestral proportions of the original "Towards Utopia" track resulting in this tranquil synth-laden track punctuated by moments that invoke a unique version of Playing the Heart Strings that will have you cry tears of joy rather than sadness.The first track you hear when you boot the game (provided you don't own any expansions) is the " Stellaris Suite: Creation and Beyond " which perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being a newborn interstellar civilization stepping out into the galaxy for the first time.Awesome Music: The game soundtrack, courtesy of Andreas Waldetoft (and eventually Bert Meyer who takes over scoring the later expansion packs), has been described by one fan online as a hybrid of the Europa Universalis and Mass Effect soundtracks and with good reason.Is this a case of Facing Death With Dignity or a Despair Event Horizon? Given the character's honorable demeanor and genuine desire to make the galaxy a better place for their kin, there's room for either or both interpretations.
