Star Control I

All music tracks for the original PC version of Star Control I were composed by Tommy Dunbar. These included the title screen theme, the Hierarchy and Alliance victory themes, and the victory ditties. For the Amiga and Genesis versions of the game, the title screen theme and the faction victory themes were replaced with new tracks by Erol Otus. The victory ditties and Erol Otus' title screen theme carried over to Star Control II, the latter as the Ur-Quan Kzer-Za conversation theme.

Star Control II

PC version

One of the most admired facets of Star Control II was its music. Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford decided to use the Amiga's MOD format for the game's music, which provided richer sound than the MIDI music that most contemporary games used. A public contest was held, with the winners receiving prize money and having their music included in the game. Riku Nuottajärvi won the main prize, as well as several regular prizes. Other contributors were Eric Berge, Aaron Grier, and Kevin Palivec. Marc Brown also won a prize and is credited, but his track, sc2.marucombat1, did not get included in the game. After the contest, Dan Nicholson was hired to compose the rest of the game's soundtrack.

3DO version

For the 3DO version, several new music tracks were composed by Crystal Dynamics' composer, Burke Trieschmann.

1 The 3DO version's credits list him as Burke Treischmann, but other games he worked on list him as Burke Trieschmann. One such track replaced Kevin Palivec's QuasiSpace theme. He also remixed the interplanetary, orbit, outfit, shipyard, battle, and HyperSpace themes from the original game.

Precursors' Remixes

For the open-source version of The Ur-Quan Masters, a volunteer team called the Precursors remixed the entire soundtrack of the game. The remixes were released in four packs. Riku Nuottajärvi, one of the original game's composers, was part of the Precursors' core team.

This page provides links to the original tracks and their remixes. Various artists have contributed remixes, with the most comprehensive remixing project completed by the Precursors Remixing Team, some of whom worked on the original music.
