This is fucking AMAZING!

The music reminds me of the original Homeworld game.

It is pretty neat, but am I the only one (rhetorical - I know I'm not) that finds that music grating? That's of the "spacey" variety that is basically cliche, and the first thing I do (see: a quick Eve online game) is disable music.

I have never played Eve Online - but I played Homeworld I and II and I loved the music... they are quite old - but maybe they pioneered that music style thus my nostalgia for it, while you might find it grating...

Homeworld did not pioneer the 'Ambient' music genre.

He probably meant ambient music for space. But even that is probably not true.
