This is one that will probably go down in my history here. See, when the Heart of the Swarm album was released, I infamously said I would never, ever do a complete rip of it. I hated it! No, let me see you how much I hated it (http://youtu.be/EddX9hnhDS4?t=18s). The reason for my displeasure came from Roper's insistence to arrange the entirety of the album into suites. That meant the orchestral would be followed by the electronics...so just as soon as you got comfortable with the orchestra you got a dose of the BLLLZZZT. GHRRRRM. BLAAAARGH. Although it is understandably difficult to condense the essence of a five hour score into a single hour release, the way Heart of the Swarm was presented made it as a much worse work than it truthfully was.

Still, this is my least favorite of all the Blizzard scores. The emphasis is placed on the musical identity of the Zerg...and that means a very electronically infused one. Although there are plenty of solid orchestral tracks - Jason Hayes' Overdrive comes to mind - ambient plays an important part in describing this score. And I never cared for that musical mythology. I much favored the bombastic orchestra of Wings of Liberty much more, to be frank. The main theme of Wings of Liberty is one that you won't forget...Heart of the Swarms is utterly forgettable. Still, the most weird tracks certainly do have some charm, and even Cris Vilesco's dubstep influenced pieces are catchy. In a weird, absurd, ridicules sort of way.

Seriously, don't ask me. I don't even know. If I were to tag the genre of Vilesco's pieces as "WTF" you would not blame me in the slightest.

It says something to the caliber of the composers that even at their worst they produce solid material. Almost all of the orchestral cues are enjoyable - Overdrive, "You Will See", and Niadra Ascendant are ridiculously fun to listen to. Towards the finale we get a whole bunch of bombastic, emotional, epic cues that are right up there with some of the best that Brower and Hayes have written in their careers.

I also experimented with this score in two regards - the first is with the track names. I went all Giacchino here - Miscalculated Thread Calculated, Eruption Ruption, Raynor's Nova'd, etc. The story is absurd - in the best and worst of ways - so I decided to be absurd in turn. Secondly, the shied away from arranging the music into suites. I pretty much put up each variation as I heard it in the game. That is probably why the album is so damn long and there are so many tracks. Nearly every piece of music that was in the .MPQ is in this gamerip.

Anyways, enjoy guys!

haha, awesome man :D


Edit: listening to it now, thanks so much, 太帅了！！

Finally!!! been waiting for this~~
Thanks for your effort, appreciate it~~

Amazing job! Thank you. :)

Mega seems to freeze at 2% when I download... At any rate, I appreciate your hard work :D.

Try a restart of the computer or a different browser.

Thank you very much !

Yeah mega went Fubar on firefox. Update or something must have broke it. Too bad. Have confirmed from multiple places now.

...that's weird. I'm on FF and it still works for me.

Really curious what is causing this mega issue. I tried a system restart and even re-installed the extension. Same issue, craps out at 2-3% on every mega download. I wonder if its an ISP issue...

Same here, stops at 2%...

same here .. use jdowloader then it will work fine .. thnaks a lot for the great share

Thanks. I've been wanting to get Heart of the Swarm.

I love the track Ascension. Best composition on the whole score, imo! So full of power and emotion. Thank you, Doublehex for ripping this!

Edit: Also, I realize my favorite pieces are those written by Neal Acree. He is awesome!-

Thank you, sir.

This is AWESOME! :D THanks for this rip! :D really wanted the last cinematic song but it isnt released with the Soundtrack :P Now thanks to you! :D Finally got the chance to listen to it! "Ascension" Thank you so much for this Doublehex!

DANG!

It craps out at 2% for me too.

Rats!!!

Whilst we appreciate the upload, a mirror would be gratefully received, as Mega is just not working for some people.

This is really Great! You have my total thanks! I used Google Chrome and it work fine, as Firefox stops at 2% for me.

Please reupload all your soundtracks to Mega... Please. Your "The Complete Soundtrack" collections are incredible... I must have em :c

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, THANKYOU for all your work!!!!

This is a fantastic upload that made me register without even thinking ! But there is one track that I really like and can't find here, which is the music that plays just before the confrontation with Zurvan : StarCraft 2 Storyline: Heart of the Swarm Campaign - Supreme #33 | Zurvan - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68e46gDOE_E)

It begins like Old Traitors, but then, this is the zerg theme (like in Zerus Awakes and the Main Menu title) with the beautiful choirs from The Links are Severed. This part is (kind of) in the Wings of Liberty BETA theme, but without the tribal, wild, primal drums. There's something about this contrast between the drums (Zurvan ?) and the feminine choir (Kerrigan's Swarm ruled by queens ?), in the very same Zerg theme, that I just love.

Did I just miss the track ? Thank you !

Thank you very much! Really appreciate all the effort.

Thanks!

Nice one.. thanks thanks!

Thanks!

thanks

Thanks!!! :)

Hey Double, think you will do the rip from the Starcraft Brood War remastered album Blizzard just added to Starcraft 2 in game soundtrack?

Thank you!

anyone happened to have the vol2 soundtrack?

Cover from blizzard store

Thank you DoubleHex for this amazing rip! Although I have StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm and can export many of the tracks in it, there were some in this rip I so desperately needed that could not be found elsewhere!

You see, I was disappointed with the HotS official soundtrack. Although the tracks are long, they are just a sequence of all these different tracks that, for the most part, don't fit together. In wanted to listen to Corruptors on its own and all the cinematic tracks on their own, but I just couldn't. Unlike the WoL cinematic songs, these ones weren't present in HotS's data. The final cinematic, Ascension, wasn't even present at all in the soundtrack! What a disgrace! So with your rip, I was able to create my own version of the official soundtrack that I much prefer!

I swear some of the songs you ripped are also higher quality than if I export them from the game itself.


P.S. the three different soundtrack covers are also great. I'm using them for the album I created.

Thank you for this!

Thanks!

Anyone able to re-upload? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, a reupload would be greatly appreciated!

Reup please?

Can someone reupload this please?

Here it come (https://mega.nz/#!w1lEVLCa!i6ENkNsFdHZCgXwS2CyZZU3FvlLakz1dcoj-Jr686o8).

Enjoy !

thanks!!

So apparently everyone failed to mention this, but the Main Menu 11min track has the most ridiculous sound effect ever: the Windows error message alert tone :D :D

Thank you ! !

Thank you Starfleet (and of course Doublehex)!
