oh, so that's what Victory song sounds like.

A small pirate ship messages you, "That soundtrack isn't all that great." You fire a warning shot across their bow and they respond, "Hey! No need for violence! It was just a comment..."

"I've defeated the Rebels that threatened the Federation." "That's great news! As usual, I have something else for you to look into. Another Federation needs your help. I'll mark it on your sector map."

Giant Alien Spiders are no jokes.

" holy crap! a weapon just floating in space" +1 glaive beam

"You have arrived in Engi space. The Mantis have been threatening the Engi core worlds, but you should be able to stock up for your journey." So... You can say that the Engi got a lot of bugs in their systems?

The best part is how the musics transition so well from explore -> battle themes in mid of game.

oh man..... that first note of the first song is one of the most memorable and recognizable notes of ANY song I know.

*category*: Education Agreed.

Normal game: Mellow to boring overworld music, intense and exciting battle themes FTL: Overworld music is absolutely gorgeous, battle themes are quiet and suspenseful instead of loud so you can plan your attacks and avoid screwing things up

'This video is not available on this device.' Tears, many, many tears.

HUMAN : holy crap ! Mantis incoming LANIUS: scrap ?

Adding drums to a peaceful track during combat is my favourite video game trope

These songs are making me sweat. I feel like I need to be firing salvos!! I FORGOT TO TURN OXYGEN BACK ON OH GOD

5 people ran out of fuel

Last Stand, at 1:58:50 when the beat kicks in and you're just thinking, "how in the devil's unholy nipples am I going to survive this fight?" So tense!

For an indie game, FTL has the most outstanding soundtrack i've ever heard. You don't always realize how outstanding while playing, but it sinks into your brain and if you are watching rather then playing, you really notice how clear the transitions are, how well sections go together in sequence, etc. Just epic greatness all around. (especially Mantis: explore and it's battle remix.) Ben Prunty is one hell of a game music composer.

Felt odd when Mantis [Battle] really started going. Realized I was waiting for the alarm to tell me I'd been boarded.

Today I just beat the rebel capital ship for the first time ever. And it was an awesome ending, we both blew eachother up at the same time.

22:20 is so unexpected, yet it's so welcome. Cosmos (Battle) is my jam.

I'm an Engineer and a Project Manager. Completing this game on normal mode is actually listed as an 'Achievement' of mine at the bottom of my resume. Anyone who see's that and understands what FTL is, will absolutely see that as an asset. :D

Your Missiles: Miss miss miss miss Their Missiles: Hit while cloaked, hit while cloaked, breach on O2, Disabled Engines with 2 fire.

The two Lanius themes from 1:19:46 are awesome. They seem to be a mix of the more "standard" themes, but in much darker, more sinister and more dangerous

9 people got attacked by giant alien space spiders.

"Holy crap! A weapon is just floating in space!"

The greatest thing about any game is the soundtrack. Your game could literally be a perfect simulation of the entire universe, with perfect graphics and AI so convincing you begin to wonder if they really are NPC's, but if that game has a trash soundtrack, nobody will play it. The FTL soundtrack perfectly fits the game's concept and style.

"Yes! We're about to defeat the flagship once and for all!" *WARNING: ENGINES CRITICAL* "Oh well, just need a few more seconds to charge the kill shot, we can take that hit." *WARNING: SHIELDS CRITICAL* *WARNING: HULL CRITICAL* "Uh oh." *WARNING: POWER SURGE DETECTED!* "Fuck."

Was looking for a good relaxing music and found FTL OST. Then bought FTL game and now i cant stop playing :O

Never played the game, but the amount of hours spent studying to this soundtrack must be immense by now! Thank you Ben Prunty!

Rockmen really is something special in this soundtrack, it really gives the sense of space and exploring. Overall the soundtrack is amazing, cudos to Mr. Prunty.

I like how the Slug Battle theme is pretty much representative of how terrifying it is to fight Slug ships near the endgame.

This music works perfectly in the game itself. A lot of music for games is simply nice to listen to, particularly older games with limited audio channels, which are very melodic, but they aren't necessarily good for the game. Silent Hill 2 is a perfect example of music that fits the gameplay, even though most wouldn't listen to the majority of it outside of the game. This is another case where it's used to such a good effect. but it's also really nice to listen to on it's own. It gives the game a great sense of flow that it might not otherwise have and isn't too abrasive that the player cannot focus on the task at hand, but still help gives the game a feeling of tension, urgency, and speed when things are getting hectic. It has a very nice contrast between the tracks which are more ambient and wonderful, while the player searches empty or friendly constellations, and the stimulating tracks of hostility.

I feel like the "Mantis" theme is very underrated, especially the battle variant. Feel that bass.

It needs the ftl jump sound between tracks, to be inmersive :)

0:01 Time to start studying 3:57 Ok NOW its time to start studying 38:12 I'll start studying after this song 1:03:46 I'll start studying after I dance alone to this song 1:19:46 Ooooh Advanced edition sound tracks 1:47:16 Advanced is finished now. I'll start studying 1:57:43 I can't study with this epic music going on 2:03:04 Great, now I can start the track over and start studying

FTL soundtrack works for literally every space game, you can’t tell me otherwise

this game and this ost give me such fuzzy feelings. it's one of the greatest games i've ever played, it's probably the greatest "simple" game i've ever played (together with into the breach), the ost is absolutely brilliant. there's not a game in the world that is more fun to lose at. every new game is a new story. i've had embarrassing losses with a completely stacked ship, and i've had unlikely wins with flying trash cans. this game has the perfect balance between giving the player agency and having the player be a victim of the universe. the fact that you never know for certain how your journey will go is what makes me still play this game almost 6 years after it came out. i just checked steam, i got about 130 hours in ftl and maybe 5 wins. what a fucking game.

I've started using this to replace background music in game and i fits so well i forget i did it, until i'm doing something chill and a battle theme comes on and i feel like i'm under attack.

I’ve played this game for seven years now, and owned the soundtrack for six. I don’t think I’ve ever heard “Colony Ship” before, which is shocking because it slaps

Is weird to listen to this music without the constant hyperspace jump sound and then the 'DING' LoL

Weird that the rockmen area has one of the most dance friendly themes, but they are big lumbering creatures that move really slowly.

Giant Alien Spiders are no joke!

if we ever make it to the stars, this is one of the courses that should be taught at Starfleet Academy. FTL, Artemis, Rimworld, Stellaris, No Man's Sky, Planetbase, Surviving Mars, Per Aspera.... you literally have all fields covered there: Command, Engineering, Astrometrics, Navigation, Xenobiology,.... if you manage to win this game, you qualify to try the Command course.

Nothing quite hit me like the Civil (Explore) theme my first time playing, the music made me feel like I was in outerspace. Also being high for the first time really helped ;)

I'm excited for the future. This game has for sure inspired some soon-to-be game developers. This game shows that it is possible to make an excellent game with simple mechanics done well, with nothing too flashy.

god damn, colony ship is a bop

We need a sequel or a prequel.

I feel like Federation should play during the credits. It would add to the massive sigh of relief and "You did it" feeling after beating the Flagship.

Space Cruise hits me with a wave of melancholy in those first few notes like no other song.

I fell so in love with his music when playing FTL originally that I just had to purchase one of his albums (I chose Chromatic T-Rex). I know it's our nature to associate great art and music with the IP it's representing, but please support individual artists like Ben. They deserve it!

I love how they add those electronic sounds to the background of some of these songs, I remember a sonar ping really stood out to me as a nice touch

Hacking Malfunction (battle) 1:44:10 is absolutely godlike and my definite favorite.

its 2020. owned the game for 5 years. playing it right now

when it's silent in the house at 4 in the morning this shit is creepy lol

The music by Ben made the game, it gave you the immersion needed to enjoy every other aspect of what was happening in game. I have hundreds of hours on this game and haven't grown tired of the music.

please give the composer Ben Prunty credit, mate thanks, Captain Klutz

There is something glorious about 2:01:45

Ben Prunty is the king of video game soundtracks

It's so great how the soundtrack sounds pretty basic, but they still managed to pull off this alien galaxy exploration vibe without needing to rely on orchestral instruments or stuff. Kinda reminds me of Mass Effect's galaxy map soundtrack.

Does anyone else listen to this while playing Kerbal Space Program? If you start Star Cruise as you enter the main menu, the music fits perfectly. Especially if, like me, you design cruiser-class ships and fly them to Mantis battle music.

57:11 I've been looking for this track. It was the final straw that made me fall in love with the game. I mean yeah, everyone likes a battle to be epic and engaging and visually and audially spectacular, and the other OSTs manage to do that quite well. But not all of them have to be that way. It's very rare for a game to present a battle that is slow, concentrated, almost tedious even, all while still having the player at the edge of their seat. Absolutely amazing!

somehow i always get the "Heyyyy Vsauce Michael here!" vibes from this. And i fucking love it.

This is the only video I can find with both the original soundtrack and the Advanced Edition soundtrack. Kudos!

The feels I get from this OST is unquantifiable

It sounds like rocks are being smashed together in the background of the Rockmen theme, nice touch.

When i am not playing this game, i seem to want to listen to the music.

When Last Stand came on instinctively hit the space bar

I hope Ben make FTL 2 and got some new good music "Hopefully not Giant spider song"

I just spent 6 hours coding to this stuff. Almost sad it's over now.

Civil... dat intro makes me wanna star trek

Colony Ship is probably my fav. goat ommmmmmmmmmmg

What a strange, gorgeous soundtrack.

Deepspace (Battle) will forever be my favorite track. The percussion and metallic sounds are just too damn cool.

Mantis and Rockmen onboard? TO DA MEDBAY

beautiful

The best moments are when an encounter suddenly turns hostile and the music turns to battle mode. chills.exe

I MUST NOW GO AND PLAY ALL THE FTL

i like how different the slug one is

Typo on first song... “space cruise” is in description, while “star cruise” is the text in the video. I believe space cruise is correct but I may be wrong :) Also I ducking love this soundtrack

Guys, giant alien spiders are no joke, really

I don't even have a favorite song from this game, they're all so good I can't just like one the best. god i love this game

Just using this now because of the audio bug in FTL o(

I can’t count how many times I’ve fallen asleep to this

Check out Deep Space Deluxe by Ben Prunty. It's like an unofficial EP for those that like the FTL soundtrack. I would say Black Hole Entity (Battle) is my favorite Prunty track besides maybe Hacking Malfunction (Battle).

Let us take a moment to thank the person who uploaded this.

The Rebel fleet caught up with 42 people who were out of fuel

i really want this game now

This music reminds me of when I played this game with my uncle, about 6 years ago. 🚀 It was the first time I heard about this game. Now its October, 2021 and my uncle committed suicide. I miss him so so much. Rest in peace. 😕🕊

13:58 my favorite section of any video game song ever,

I fucking love everything about this game

Hacking malfunction hits me and i just think whoa... this is amazingly FLT.

best title music in any game ever

I left my game running to farm evasion points for a long time, I came back to find that the music audio completely spazzed out, adding an odd pulsing effect and mixing other rhythms into the music. Oddly enough the final output sounded quite catchy.

Colony ship is hands-down my favorite in this OST, never heard it until I listened to this track lol

Star Control 2 veterans get an extra thrill around 20 minutes when the Cosmos Battle starts up and we hear that bass line. "DaDuDaDuDa DaDuDaDuDa" and just all of a sudden our mind says "LAUNCH FIGHTERS!!" at the same time the sound of a spaceborne nuclear missile fires off. Maybe it's just me, but I'll never forget the first time I thought I could take a Dreadnaught with an Earthling Cruiser.

It’s been 7 years, why can’t time just slow down

I wish mantis battle 40:41-41:00 would go on forever.

This game gives you nostalgia when you bought it yesterday

Playing Superflight to this music is superb!
