One of those thoughts that flit across the mind from time to time: what sort of music do fellow gamers find stirring for BFG.
A short list of some of my thoughts:
Holst's "The Planets" seems suitably titled.
Wagner's "Flight of the Valkires" is always a favourite
The 1812 overture - but it must be a rectiation that includes real cannon fire.
Carmina Burana works nicely if you can get it to reach the crescendo just as you start firing nova cannons etc.
Two Steps from Hell
Hans Zimmer's work fits nicely on occasion
Manowar - just count how many times they say "fight" on an album and tell me if that doesn't send a message!

Hi,
Dune, Alien and Event Horizont soundtracks can work well

I also think the Homeworld game soundtrack would be awesome. :D

Good call, Jimmy - a lot of amazing late 90s / early 00s PC games with cool space soundtracks.

To Build a Home - The Cinematic Orchestra....

I actually burned a CD of a fictional 40k movie to play during BFG :) Unfortunetly I renamed all the titles to mach 40k so i can't tell you what were the actual tracks. But it was quite a collection of great tunes. As i remember i used music from 40k games like chaos gate ( some kickass choirs! chanting "Ultramarini" :) ) also last mohican, Starcraft, Starship troopers, king arthur, The Rock and lots& lots more.Hmm I wonder if i can post it here cause I really wan't to share it with you guys but is it leegal & stuff? i actually own all the CD because I'm a big soundtrack guy. One of the tunes I used in this video i posted before http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwsH2U8Ki8s&list=UUstMi7nMCT0gB7q-LtuZx9g&index=10&feature=plcp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwsH2U8Ki8s&list=UUstMi7nMCT0gB7q-LtuZx9g&index=10&feature=plcp)

Mass Effect soundtracks.
Anything by Steve Roach (who has tons of CDs). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXs5zKLjrus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXs5zKLjrus)

And there is of course, the unassailable Conflict Freespace series. = )

i think for a non-battle scene this would be suitable:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6FQMHDtcG8
imagine empty space during the intro, and then an imperial navy fleet entering realspace, and during the song, the camera slowly passes alongside every ship lenghtwise, showing all the mass of cathedral-like details...
dunno what everybody else thinks, but i think it would be fitting for such a peaceful, but imposing scene.
opinions? :D

I like to listen to ambient music like this.

Wow, Seahawk, I have that same CD and love it. Also, Steve Roach (ambient) and copious amounts of metal. Stellar drone (ambient).

Homeworld soundtrack.

I like some ost from Ace combat: assult horizont. It's pretty dynamic but not all tracks are suitable.

Soundtracks to the movies "Moon" by Clint Mansell and "Sunshine" by John Murphy
And if you haven't seen those movies WATCH THEM (I imagine if you play BFG you are a Sci-fi fan. Those are easily two of the best sci-fi movies there are IMO)
SAMPLES
Adagio in D from sunshine (also featured in many many movie trailers since then)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQXVzg2PiZw
Welcom to Lunar Industries & Welcome to Lunar Industries(three year stretch)- from Moon (also in the trailor for a few movies I think, and the Aliens: Colonial Marines video game)

Well, iit depends on who's the "Main character" of the battle:
when the IN is under the spotlights we use Two steps from Hell
when Chaos is the posterboy then I prefere to go with Lustmord for some dark and creepy space atmosphere
