Line #18 AwesomeMusic/Homeworld


1	!!!Homeworld
2	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqWcm6MMiHk Kharak System]], the very first mission of the game, is underscored by an epic piece that at once captures the desert home of the protagonists, the incredible vastness of space before them, and the hopes and fears regarding their path ahead.
3	* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPfY1D3O7C8 Agnus Dei]]'', a choral version of Samuel Barber's ''[[CherubicChoir Adagio for Strings]]'', potentially one of the saddest instrumental pieces ever written, plays during the launch of the Mothership (giving a spiritual "we're putting our whole race's effort into this" feeling), as well as two other highly dramatic moments, potentially bumping the first one up to TearJerker status and serving as a ThemeMusicPowerUp for the second one, at the end of the final mission, as enemy rebels courageously - suicidally, in fact - charge straight at their Emperor to clear a path for you to attack. It also plays during the mission where you save the Bentusi, and they share with you a recording of your ancestors' exile from Hiigara.
4	%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2AhjhYWDUM Homeworld (The Ladder)]]" by Music/{{Yes}} at the end credits.
5	%%What's awesome about it?
6	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2re702QU6Ls Taiidan Empire's theme]]. It's subdued and threatening--and the herald of another [[TheUsualAdversaries Taiidan]] fleet coming in. It makes you crack your knuckles and prepare to fight your WorthyAdversary.
7	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTKakINXjl8 Turanic Raiders' theme]]. Ominous and sinister in equal measure, with a lazy snakelike tempo that suits the predatory mercenary/scavenger culture of the Turanics well.
8	* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY1fVrI2NFQ Kadeshi battle theme]]. Slow, and with a lo-o-ong buildup, but VERY menacing, and it fits them perfectly. You aren't taking revenge on the Taiidani or routing pirates. You're just trying to get out of the nebula ''alive''.
9	* Much of the ambient music, the original game particularly - [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8owXHUK-C9E the Garden of Kadesh]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmduOjIip5Q Super Nova Station]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mlDDsuMX_0 Garden View]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeJbSmNGXWM Bridge of Sighs]] - though rather slower. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvN4POLgHI Here]] is a combination of some of the best pieces in the game.
10	* [[MoodWhiplash It's completely unlike anything else in the game,]] but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJkoBNOPvjU the credits song]] makes a damn fine victory anthem.

12	!!!Homeworld: Cataclysm
13	* Cataclysm had a couple: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAPFCNxRRLw The Battle for Hiigara]] from the first scene, a simple, calm, totally epic piece for an equally epic scene, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfzwAp-LirA the main Beast theme]]. Also, you know truly how screwed you are when you're fighting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nNDMJRuQ4 the friggin' Bentusi]].
14
15	!!!Homeworld II
16	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eNWYTQNWHU The Planetkillers' theme]]. Slow, mournful, and almost hymnishly solemn, quite fitting for a situation where a slipup could get your planet fried.
17	%%* Also the climactic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHB2un4OjdE Battle for Sajuuk theme]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6uRknCjmaA version]] used in the credits.
18	%%* [[AwakenTheSleepingGiant The Keeper is aware]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btXnl7AGFg0 The Keeper understands]]. [[OhCrap The Keeper has seen the enemy]].
