What I find interesting about the A New Dawn section (0:00-1:43) is that most of the Stellaris score, at least everything from the base game score, is in a minor key, with the minor 6th interval moving upward as a repeated part. Since this is the Utopia expansion, I think Waldetoft wanted to create a more optimistic feeling, and did this part in major. You can hear a major 6th interval moving upward in some parts too.

You are losing credits at an alarming rate!

7:26 ...goosebumps.

The soundtrack is the best part of this game, easily.

6:20 .... my GOD!!!!!

Keep in mind all of this was composed by Andreas Waldetoft. He gets way too little Credit for this

this could be in the background of Picard's final frontier speech.

I was watching a human colony ship nearing the orbit of far away planet when 4:18 played. The music blaring triumphantly, as they neared the planet’s orbit evoked this feeling of awe and wonder, it oddly made me my eyes tear up with joy. I know the game is meant to be fictional but seeing that spaceship reach that planet may be real within hundreds or a thousand years fills me with goosebumps. I know we won’t be alive to see it, and the future might change and wipe us out. But the thought of seeing humanity live on, and thrive in space, explore, and just… be there… it makes me cry and the music at 5:04 when the ship successfully landed just added so much to the emotions I was feeling Imagining a thriving future of Utopia in space makes me cry with wonder

I get nostalgia from this song. I should really play it more often.

I understand there are tastes....but if you dislike something like this, what is it that you like?

This song is simply epic. No other way to describe it.

This Music From Paradoxes new DLC for there game Stellaris is Truly Wonderful a great piece of music

This soundtrack for me ranks up in top three 1: the shire theme 2: stellaris towards utopia( this ) 3 avengers endgame portals

Song almost sounds like it could be in a Stargate show or film.

3:18 I start crying.

how i personally break this down Part one; The wonders of the universe and the spirit of exploration (early game) Part two; Industrialization and the march to war part three; Peacetime and the hope that comes with it part four; The formation of alliances to defend against an existential threat, the eventual victory and a look towards the future. basically embodying the feel of the experiences of a typical playthrough of the game... except that last part, usually you end up having to deal with that on your own lol.

Wow, if you listen closely, you can hear some similarities to other Paradox game themes like EU4 and HOI4

The woodwind trill just after 7:45 is beautiful. I recognize it from some other scifi but I can't quite place it - is it a leitmotif reference to something else?

I didn't own stellaris but their ost is fantastic btw if u want to buy this game check humble bundle monthly

Long live human beings!

the fact that this is not in the new ingame music player is really irritating me

tnx for upload this awesome ost :)

Awesome main theme

Star trek vibes

7:26. Beginning of the best moment of the song. Your welcome future me searching for this song to download, because Paradox, for some reason, decided to embed this gem in a significantly less good overall song.

1:00 I keep expecting it to turn into the Stargate SG-1 opening theme

Sounds like a sci-fi space movie soundtrack

Every successful economy is built around a hopeless cycle of ?

Anyone else hear the beginning of the Gravity Falls OP at 2:32?

Damn man i miss this intro

Yes.

No way could a dyson sphere like that be built. That looks like a bigger star than ours, and planets like Mercury or Venus would look tiny compared to that. Even if you would be able to filter through and get enough of the right elements and metals to build the panels, from just a few planets, it would still cost a lot of energy to move all of that. Plus even if you built it like above, you'd block out sunlight from any nearby habitable worlds, thus cutting off any potential supply of food for the workers, unless they're automated. Then this energy would have to be transported somehow, in batteries? You'd need more rare elements to build them, and they'd be heavy.
