Matt Uelman is awesome. Have you done diablo ii yet?

Sweet lord this soundtrack is the shiznit. I love how Blizzard was able to tailor each track to that specific race's identity and persona in the game. With the terran themes you had a sense of militaristic and industrial thrust, with the zerg you had a very noticeable feeling of inevitability and unrelenting pursuit, with the protoss you felt an epic sense of loyalty and valor. This is on my short list of best soundtracks ever made for a game.

I wish Blizzard would give me a brand new SCV. =(

[KnaRRaN1989]

[Thremle]

@Szederp dont say, SC2's terran soundtracks are fucking awesome. take off the nostalgia glasses

[TelvanniGuard]

SCV good to go, Sir.

[D3xterPL]

this video is shit how about a terran music 2 ? you fucking pissed me off

[TheArbiter10]

ahh the old zerg  music, if only i hadn't lost my SC1 disc... :(

[Szederp]

@Chortstuf I really agree with you here. Such a shame they fucked up the soundtrack in SC2.

[RobotMasterSplash]

Is it bad that this game's soundtrack puts StarCraft 2's to shame?

[ATDOINFERNO]

The main title for this game still kicks some serious ass! =D

This game blew my 13 year old mind when it first came out! I know I put well over 4000 hours playing this game over the next 3 years, and that was back when I had dial up internet. People would say "I called your house and the line was busy all day long." That's because I was playing this badass game on Battle.net from morning to night. SC2 is okay, but the original was just so evolutionary for its time. Thanks for uploading this man!

@garudoh Also you need to do Portal, Braid and Machinarium!
