One of my favorite examples is a '98 game called Populous: the Beginning. During times without battle, the music would be very ambient with winds and fluid synths. Once a battle started, however, war drums would start to play. Light battles would only get a bit of drum work, but as battles progressed in size, the drums layers would get louder, more numerous, and more upbeat. It was totally epic.

The lack of dynamic music is probably my biggest critique on the audio aspect of SC2 at the moment.
I'll still find myself playing some of the Red Alert 3 'standard combat' and 'triumphal combat' music from the game - Especially the japanese tracks.

Back to starcraft 2. The Terran music is good, it just doesn't fit at all. It's too calm. This is the direction I'd like them go . See, it's basically the same thing except it's slightly more heavy and slightly less joyful. Or like this too.

For the zerg well they should just go back to what they did before. Their new direction still got the good feeling but it's just nowhere near the quality of the old ones.

Protoss one is kinda fine. They just need to remove the choir part.

Those 2 tracks you linked are awesome and would definitely fit in pretty well.

I love the new Terran music as well. It may need some more military gravitas to it (since it will provide the ambience for much of the campaign), but all in all it's most fitting and contains some cool variations on the Terran themes from SC (the violin part is very cool!).

The new Protoss theme is also quite good, even if a little too calm and "airy". I'd dearly love to hear a more tragic and portentous Protoss theme (this IS their darkest hour after all, when they have to rely on the utmost measures to survive).

The Zerg music, while not bad, I find to be the least impressive. While there are some passages that heark back to the original Zerg theme it needs to be much more agressive and intense.

I actually like the Terran music especially and I think they nailed it perfectly.

It has that cowboy-country with rock and bits of modern jazz mixed together perfectly as well as some originality to it.

In short its perfect.
The protoss and zerg are also good, but not as good as the terran music.

I find the Terran music refreshing.. I want more of the same when WoL comes out. I think the heavy metal stuff linked in the first posts would be more suited to UED if ever they make it as a race.

I agree with you, man the music is not bad, but they should add more military sounding themes.
