Black Hole AI and strange music?

Finally someone mentioned Wagner as suitable combat music. I'd recommend Tchaikovsky, Berlioz, Bach, Bartok, Beethoven (especially Beethoven's 5th!), maybe Dvorak, Grieg, Orff, Rakhmaninov, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Shostakovich as other combat-suitable music. You could try Sousa for a more modern-sounding background too...

For other parts, I'd suggest Gershwin, Strauss, Copland, Herb Alpert... how's that for an eclectic mix? Ragtime, lounge, showtunes, and German waltzes (in no particular order, obviously). How can you go wrong?

You guys haven't lived until you start up the game to play a quick PBW turn, not realizing that your wife left her Patsy Cline CD in the drive.

I've been using a collection called "Classical Thunder", which includes most of the composers on Tsaarx' list. When I launch SE IV, the intro screen plays Strass' "Also sprach Zarathustra" (aka "Dawn" theme from _2001_).
