1%%* Music/IggyPop's [[Music/LustForLife "The Passenger"]] adds to the announcement trailer.
2%%How? This is zero-context as written.
3* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmyF8IjfSUI gameplay trailer]], with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OAfbNdYvR0 ELIA EX's "Rattle the Cage",]] fits with the theme of fighting back against The Board or just causing chaos and the song is an absolute banger.
4* The absolutely gorgeous main theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVwPnLMchC8 Hope]]", by composer Justin E. Bell. Channeling its inner ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''[[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]]'', it's very likely you won't want to leave the main menu as the theme progresses with its overwhelmingly amazing flutes that are gradually accompanied by an entire orchestra of strings, violins, and horns. [[{{Tagline}} Welcome to the future! ...Now try not to break it.]]
5* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-kXRmuoJus Edgewater's]] incredibly beautiful piano theme that sometimes comes back throughout your journey in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYIVO745ehM Emerald Vale.]] It's a gorgeous leitmotif, and those strings, oh yes.
6* [[https://youtu.be/82OdqoVvK0Q Groundbreaker]] is a fantastic ambient piece with a pronounced horn and subdued strings throughout the track that does a fantastic job of emphasizing the titular ship's independence from The Board, as well as easing you into what is essentially the main hub for much of your adventure.
7* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAEdZJoAWIc Amber Heights]] with its slow, mournful strings and gentle piano interludes, really illustrates the bitter struggle the Iconoclasts face trying to survive on Monarch.
8* The best possible way to reflect on your journey throughout the entire game? The aptly named "[[https://youtu.be/cA4KEYIEdkw Journey's End]]", of course. Whereas the ending slide theme of ''VideoGame/Fallout3'' and ''[[VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas New Vegas]]'' had a somewhat bleak and scary tone to it, "Journey's End" is a beautifully uplifting and almost tear-jerking piece that, as it progresses becomes more and more hopeful, with the horns in the one minute mark really hammering home that, yeah, you won. Be it by getting the GoldenEnding or the DownerEnding depending on your playstyle.
9-->Dr. Welles laid the groundwork for the project to save the colony, [[TearJerker but he would never live to see the fruits of his labor.]] He passed away a few years later. [[PassingTheTorch His work was carried on]] by the scientists and engineers he revived.
10* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw_16RtC0K8 "Murder on Eridanos" trailer song]] is both awesome and hilarious, highlighting the planet's [[TownWithADarkSecret suspicious nature]] in a darkly comedic way.
