The BAR music is really good, in the same theme done by a professional composer. It's not a full orchestra on the level of the TA soundtrack, which is simply one of the best of all time, but it excellent on its own and captures much of the essence.

  I really hope its better than Zero-K's music, their "professional" composer produced some of the most eye-rollingly awful syntesized orchestral music I've ever heard

Along with the soundtrack, John Patrick Lowrie's amazing voice work also form some of my most vivid memories of the game. I still get goosebumps when I hear his narration of the opening cinematic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6mZZiI4ShQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6mZZiI4ShQ

Same. Although I do remember the graphics and number of simultanously visible independent units as being impressive... But the music was magnificent orchestral work. It was also so depressing [ https://youtu.be/ljDyp__ejco?t=995 https://youtu.be/ljDyp__ejco?t=995 ] that I decided to play the game without music after a while. It's gorgeous, but too emotive.

  I found the non-combat music in TA strikes a very compelling balance between emotion and tranquility without becoming monotonous, but I definitely agree that the in-combat music is a bit too bombastic for its own good

Another great game with a soundtrack that was a delight: Re-Volt. https://youtu.be/_83cPS87tYM https://youtu.be/_83cPS87tYM

Well that brings back memories! Beautiful. First game I played where the music dynamically changed with the action.
