Comprehensive Music Feedback.

TL;DR: Music needs work.

I understand that Riku is not Hans Zimmer or Christopher Tin or even Paul Anthony Romero or Matt Uelmen. But the music for the franchise rebirth needs to be nailed as much as gameplay and graphics IMO.

Revealed in July 2016 update:

STARCONTROL_Super_melee_theme.ogg --- Extremely underwhelming. Not engaging at all. Slow intro, sounds like some race's dialog music. 2/10

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_XRAKI_dialogue.ogg --- Superb. Wud bang as is. 9.5/10

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_XRAKI_space.ogg --- Superb. Wud bang as is. 9.5/10

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_DRENKEND_dialogue.ogg --- Ok. A bit simplistic? Not much to write home about. 5.5/10

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_DRENKEND_space.ogg --- Good. I like the sounds used in it. But nothing outstanding. 6.5/10

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_TYWOM_dialogue.ogg --- Part until 0:38 is utter shite. Part after 0:38 is pretty good. Best part 1:30-2:03. 6.5/10 (2 points off for bad intro)

STARCONTROL_Race_theme_TYWOM_space.ogg --- Good. I like simplicity of it for space flight. Maybe some sounds don't belong. 7/10

Revealed in October 2016 update:

StarControl-Title.mp3 --- needs a tiny bit beefier distortion and more pronounced (dirty, high pitched) snare drums fading in from 2:30, fading out at 3:08 otherwise total BADASS. 8.5/10

Revealed in December 2016 update:

HumanTheme_1.wav --- Meh-ish. Lacks development of that "distant flute" melody (0:22-0:28, 0:50-1:06). 5.5/10

Revealed in January 2017 update:

ScryveDialogTheme.ogg --- Pretty good! Dat guitar solo though! 8/10

the rest of Jan update tracks are copy+pasta from July 2016 update. Fake update?...

So, half of the tracks are not good enough to be in SCO in my estimation. 7 is the bare minimum I'd let through. Super Melee track needs massive revision or complete rework. Stardock, please fix.
