I never knew about Tangerine Dream.

When you mentioned it, I thought it might be a song about a planet in an Alastair Reynolds novel. So I went to YouTube.

Are the rest of their albums like Rubycon?

Brilliant! But is there any way to shuffle all the tracks in your playlist? Or does one just pick whichever soundtrack one's in the mood for and let it run?

The ones in the list are. Their others are nice albums but they don't have the same tone. They are have a lot more ambient sounds from nature for example. Rubycon is definitely their best album.

While playing the playlist, you should be getting a Shuffle button and a Loop Playlist button at the top.

I made a playlist on Spotify which contains a lot of Solar Fields, a Swedish artist.

Excellent. It does seem to shuffle all the soundtracks, which is great. I don't suppose there's any way to shuffle the tunes within a particular soundtrack?

I've been listening to this streaming station of "space ambient music" and it fits very well imo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNkZsRW7h2c

No, unless I sit down and add the tracks as individual videos.

No need to chop up the videos into individual tracks unless you really want to. I'm fine just starting a video and jumping around occasionally.

Great playlist, fitting for the game.

Beyond Earth a somewhat flawed game which I hoped for a improved sequel but it probably wont happen.

Did the sound tracks for Mirror's Edge games. But most Solar Fields music is more downtempo, slower paced electronic music.

Any chance you guys could share a Spotify playlist link here instead of YT?

I don't use Spotify but I could try. Do I need a subscription to make a playlist?

Have you listened to the music from the X series of space simulation games? I really loved the soundtrack to X3:Terran Conflict and the mood for many of the tracks is so very EVE Online like and fits DW2 really well I think.

Oh yeah! I loved X3. I'll add its soundtrack, it's awesome!
