Loved it. It's... pretty!? No idea where it would pop up in the game proper, but the Industrial-Arabesque feel is unique, and just judging from the menu music and the stressful hive-death music, there's a big range of songs. Gonna be good.
Awesome music. Would work as intro music. I'm imagining a mining outpost being overrun by the Kharaa while the civilian workers (the people you see in the concept art wearing colorfull overalls) scatter, get eaten by Oni, flees in escape pods out in the dark space... Then the Frontiersmen arrive, setting up shop, handing out Shotguns, deploying Exos and at the end, just when the two sides are about to clash in an epic battle, the intro ends and the game begins. :)
I need the soundtrack RIGHT NOW! Beside the game I am really looking forward to the soundtrack. I even don't log into a server right from the start, just to listen to the music in the menu. And I really, really love soundtrack of games and very often listen to them again and again. Some of my favorites are Deus Ex - Human Revolution, Total Annihilation, Outcast, MGS3, Diablo 2 and Kingdom Hearts. And I want to put NS2 into this line of great soundtracks. :D

It's hard for me to say this and be believed, because I obviously have a vested interest in saying it. But this soundtrack is one of the few game soundtracks I can remember that I would actually listen to all the way through. Sure, many soundtracks have a few stand outs, like DeusExHR, but this one is just kicking ass all the way through. Can't wait to get it to you guys.

So far my list of 'game soundtracks I listen to all the way through' is pretty short:

Thx for sharing this awesome piece with us. :D
Trying to imagine what trailer is going to be on top of this...
Bit overly intentionally emotional for my liking - but I love the battle music that plays during hive / command station assaults.

Favorites game soundtracks for me:
* Starcraft: Broodwar
* Battlefield 1942 theme
* Deux Ex:HR
* XCOM
I'm hearing this. It wouldn't be unfit to throw it into some gameplay or make a new trailer out of it.
Hugh put it once while waiting for Q&A to start, and I loved it !
Cant wait for the OST too :)
