The "In memory of MR" track is epic, so much emotion in that one, really love it.

Love the addition of the music player.. I hope you guys also fixed the stuttering/crackling issues that the game seems to have with music in the late game (i.e. when playing stellaris with a friend in multiplayer, music is fine in the early days, but later on when theres lots of units and huge fleets around the background music sometimes starts to stutter/crackle a bit under load).

Just going to sit here slightly confused about "in memory of Mercedes Romero" as I didn't discover Stellaris or even Parodox untill late last fall

It's an homage to one of the first streams, the renowned Blogger Science commander Mercedes Romero.

Always love the new tracks. Great job.

"In Memory of MR" should play right after declaring war on a Fallen Empire .

It should! Not just because of how MR kicked it, but because of how the wistful tune fits the end of a once proud empire.

One of my favorite things about Civilization V was the audio, which was performed by an actual orchestra. It's good to see that Paradox does this too (at least with Stellaris).

Paradox did this first with EU4. You can watch it here:

Cheers for the DD Jazzhole and Wiz, excellent that there's more music incoming . Both of those tunes go very nicely (and In Memory of MR recorded in one take - excellent work Budapest Film Orchestra ).

I hope you guys will like the new music for Utopia and I can’t wait to do more music for Stellaris when I get time off from all the other games we are doing.

Oh aye - Paradox seems to be keeping you plenty busy these days - more games and more Waldetoft is a good thing for us, but I hope they let you sleep .

Music player.... I honestly think that excites me more than any other one feature coming in Banks/Utopia! XD You guys are doing fantastic work keep it up!!!

On a sidenote: I remember reading someone's post about wishing to be able to listen to all PDX soundtracks they currently own in Stellaris/CK2/EU4 etc. I'm not sure whether I'd be too into it but I could see some people liking it. Basically having the music player in any PDX game have the ability to register the soundtracks for other PDX titles the player currently owns and allow them the option to play those tracks if they so choose. I'm not sure how complicated that would be for coders, but it's inoffensive to those who would simply not use it and fantastic for everyone who would.

Only 21 more days til Utopia and Banks release!

Counting down!

We really need a countdown clock!

 

[OBRkenobi]

24 minutes and 30 seconds

Just wow. That's basically half a soundtrack!

 

[Meneliki]

OK!

Soooooo... 2 things.

1) Great to see the music picker make it's way to Stellaris
2) Blown away by the continual effort by PDX to put such beautiful music into their games. Stellaris already has an *amazing* soundtrack and it looks(sounds?) like it's about to get even better. Holy crap guys. Sick music. Well done!

 

[Ashantai]

Towards Utopia is my new favourite track, even better than the original Stellaris intro.

The music in Paradox games has taken a major leap forward in the last few years, a testament to the Jazz man himself.

In Memory of Mercedes Romero is just magnificent. Then again, I've been loving Andreas' work ever since the first songs from him I listened to - it actually stopped my first ever PDX game session before it ever started, with the opening theme of Hearts of Iron 2. Alt-tabbed, found the music folder, shut the game down and just enjoyed for that evening

 

[Metal King]

I may be clueless, but is there a music player coming for CK2 too?

We have a basic "Next Song" function in the game which you can find in the lower right corner. Otherwise I don't know if there is a plan to develop a Music Player for CK2.

 

[Metal King]

@Metal King Will Metalheads get a special theme music w/e you engage in "diplomacy" (A.K.A. Armed resolution of differences) with them?

Sounds like a cool idea but no, they won't get any special theme.
