7* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8wwK3S4xj4 Atlas]]" is a peaceful yet lively track that captures the open world of many of the safer planets.
8* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf_Kt_B-mqo Horsehead Nebula]]" is amazingly calm yet triumphant.
9* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzMMUbEhTgw Casiopeia]]" is a somber, mysterious track with an EtherealChoir of both male and female voices. It's ''very'' reminiscent of the tracks from ''{{Franchise/Halo}}''.
10* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ujZLN63QHU Tranquility Base]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJu0Y7HfPz8 Mira]]" are very sad and bleak sounding tracks.
11* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9qVyJPCQpI "Vast, Immortal Suns."]] Just the name alone tells you it has to be good, but it doesn't even come ''close'' to conveying just how ''triumphant'' the song is, or how perfectly it captures the game's spirit of exploration. It's more or less the musical embodiment of how TheWorldIsJustAwesome.
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OLIoW0UvtA "Large Magellanic Cloud"]] is a soft, peaceful lullaby of a sound that perfectly captures the feeling of looking up at the stars at night.
13* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcWRRLbEtAI M54]]" may not get the blood pumping, but its solo piano is beautifully calm.
14* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOduPEOwl1Q "Event Horizon"]] has bright horns and tense strings that provide a suitable backdrop to the challenge rooms.
15* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TppM4cD5qWQ "Gravitational Collapse"]] is a string and drum heavy track that gets the player fired up for battle.
16* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpU8J8DREJg Forest]]". A simple, light and playful tune that evokes the joy of skipping through, you guessed it, a forest.
17* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLbDPx4d3vI Error 0xbfaf000]]". A calm and peaceful track that opens up into a bright and bold end, exhorting the listener to go on an adventure. It's basically TheCall in musical form.
18* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEbKJRMmy_s The Deep]]" is a slow, peaceful Japanese-style melody that one could imagine a Hylotl meditating to.
19* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR7fwMM5ccc I Was The Sun (Before it was Cool)]]". A jaunty western guitar tune that fits perfectly with the SpaceWestern motif of the Novakid.
20* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn8wEtdkznY Desert Battle 2]]" opens slowly with an ominous whistle overlaying the western guitars of "I Was The Sun (Before it was Cool)" and then fuses in fast, pounding electro-beats. It's the perfect theme for a SpaceWestern ShowdownAtHighNoon.
21* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT_A-bpBgBQ Planetarium]]", a peaceful theme that sounds almost like a jingle that would be heard in a store.
22* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaX_GIiC5yM Inviolate]]", an intense electric and orchestral piece that captures the feeling of exploring the ruined cities of Toxic and Decayed planets.
23* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19xB_SDkzsY battle theme]] for Asra Nox and Big Ape is a synth heavy piece with pounding drums and electronic sounding beeps. A perfect fit for both technological bosses.
24* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQzhgs2XBc theme]] for the FinalBoss is ''absolutely'' epic with tense electric guitars, haunting choir and deep drumbeats. It's perfect for battling The Ruin for the fate of the Universe.
25* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlopxqCuNkU Swansong]], the theme of the TrueFinalBoss, Asra Nox piloting the eponymous mech, is a techno-remix of the theme for The Ruin, fitting for TheRemnant of the Ruin's plans.
26* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxWALjrjbio Housecleaning]] from the 1.4 Bounty Hunter update. An absolutely amazing heroic and upbeat techno piece that gets you pumped up and ready to hunt down some bounties as a Peacekeeper!
27* "[[https://youtu.be/bRsxsmHKsgE Stellar Formation]]" is a thrilling number that evokes the excitement of arriving on a new planet, setting up a base, and then heading out to explore and tame your surroundings.
