"Tales from the Reaches" sets up the lore with this wistful, expansive theme that makes you want to explore before you've even moved a unit. "Wanderer" and "Smugglers" paint characters through instrumentation alone, one drifting and contemplative, the other sharp and sneaky.

"Starfall" is gorgeous in a way strategy games rarely earn. Just this cascading melodic thing that sounds like watching something beautiful burn up in atmosphere.
Twenty-three tracks that build a universe you can hear. If you want a strategy game soundtrack that feels more like a space opera than a board game, sit down with this one.
