A rip of the music from the PS1 game Colony Wars: Vengeance, using PsxMC's .str to .wav extract, then converted to flac using foobar2000 and flac.exe. Music composed by Stephen Murphy who worked for Psygnosis: http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/colony-wars-vengeance/credits. This differs a bit from the existing bootleg of the game music that has been around on galbadia for like 8 years or however long it's been around. I've cut out the intro sequences and FMV audio tracks, as they weren't part of the "soundtrack", and changed the order of the music to the order they're numbered in PsxMC (I think they're to do with the order they first appear/are played in the missions throughout the game). I have taken the track names from the original bootleg, however, as they seem very fitting (goodness knows who came up with them or if they're actually linked to the music).

Thanks, man!

FYI, the music used in the intro sequence of the game is called "Elite Force" by Ian Hughes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cgb2CorpU0

Yes, I love that composition! I listen to it all the time together with this music.

edit: here's a list of other music that is used in the game for the FMV sequences (all fantastic pieces by some of my favourite composers too, by the way):

Felix Mendelssohn - The Hebrides Overture in B minor, Op. 26 "Fingal's Cave"
Ludwig van Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55 "Eroica": II. Marcia funebre. Adagio assai (i.e. the second movement)
Anton�n Dvoř�k - Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "From the New World": I. Adagio - Allegro molto
Anton�n Dvoř�k - Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 "From the New World": II. Largo (first and second movements from this symphony)
Anton�n Dvoř�k - The Water Goblin, Op. 107
Николай Андреевич Римский-Корсаков (Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov) - Capriccio Espagnol, Op. 34: II. Variazioni. Andante con moto (i.e. the second movement)

The music in this game is just far too good to be true.

Thank you for this walletbiopsy, and thank you BellumBringer for the youtube link.

It would great if we could include those classical pieces from the fmv scenes to complete the ost.

Is that the british Ian Hughes who died recently (illness i think)? If so he will be missed. I like what I heard of his other music on the web.

I wonder if there's a complete rip of Colony Wars 3?

Love the game, love the music...thanks a bunch walletbiopsy ! :D

Alright, as requested, here is the music used for the FMV scenes. In the cases where the music is from a particular movement of a symphony/orchestral piece i've upload the whole piece (feels weird not listening to these parts in context!). I've also listed the albums i've taken them from incase you'd like some reference.

Here's a re-upload. I altered the files that were originally offered here with the Musicbrainz metadata a while ago, but otherwise they are the same.

Still a chance for Colony Wars III: Red Sun?
