StarCraft Beta Title Theme

This is the original title theme from the StarCraft Beta, it was replaced and did not get released with the game. Some parts of it sounds very similar to Protoss 1.

Derek Duke and Glenn Stafford composed the tracks in the menus and the in-game music, while Jason Hayes composed the music used in the cinematic cut scenes. Tracy W. Bush supported with the composing.

is there a higher quality version of this?

[LetoAtreides82]

The version I have is 128kbps, 44.1kHz. I don't know if youtube downsamples the mp3s but to me it sounds the same.

Sounds a LOT like music from Warcraft 2.

wow, thanks for uploading this

@LetoAtreides82 By the way, where did you get this track? I tried to extract the music from Starcraft beta CD but failed. I used WinMPQ and Ladic's mpq editor, and they seem to work with any kind of files from the beta mpq archives except the music .wav's.

Can you post a download link please?

This is probably before people told them it looks like "warcraft in space".

Pretty sure this was actually meant to be the in-game music for the Protoss, not the title (at least that's what the first site I heard it at said it was). I'm just trying to figure out where people are getting this song...

This is epic, but it sounds like either WC2 or Star Wars. I am glad they changed it.

[ericnrivers]

wow. When people said the very original (before the actual game was released) was a lot like warcraft II, they weren't kidding. But the part at a little past 50 seconds definetly sounds similar to the one now.

LOL, im so glad blizzard considered changing Starcraft in many different ways many different times til the final version. xD. This song only sounds tossish at 0:50 . I never played warcraft 2 so I dont know how similiar they both were but looking at all the comments, seems like it was taking straight from warcraft 2.
