Homeworld

Homeworld's music is one of the most noticable aspects of the game. In the first mission, a choral version of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings (using the lyrics to Agnus Dei) arguably sets the tone for the entire game. In addition, one song on the soundtrack is rock group Yes' Homeworld (The Ladder), which was also used in the ending credits. The entire musical score, with the exception of the Agnus Dei selections, was composed by Paul Ruskay.

Homeworld2

Homeworld2’s soundtrack has a different feel than the two previous games: much of the music is chant and rhythm, more than melody. This has meet mixed reviews from players, some saying the “tribal” feel of the music doesn’t fit the deep space setting.

Paul Ruskay composed the soundtrack except for the trailer theme which was composed by Mike Neilsen. The soundtrack was recorded at Armory Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia.
