Important information regarding game updates
This mod will most likely ALWAYS stay compatible with Stellaris when the game version changes. Regardless of the game launcher telling you that the mod is not up to date for the current Stellaris version, this is only due to the version specified in this mod's text file and should never, ever impact the actual compatibility with this game.
Because of this, I will not answer any more comments asking if this mod is compatible with version xyz of the game. Simply put: YES IT IS.
Additionally, this mod is fully Iron Man compatible since it does not change gameplay or any vanilla files.
Thanks for reading and understanding!
At the time I am uploading the latest update to this mod, I have played Stellaris for more than 375 hours. This game certainly wouldn't be what it is today without such an active, creative and hardworking mod community. This mod is my way contributing my small share to it and give something back to this amazing community.
What this mod contains
This music expansion pack contains twenty-seven (!) new original music tracks that I specifically composed for Stellaris, with an overall duration of 115 minutes.
My original goal was to create music that would fit into Stellaris and contain elements similar to the trademark sound of Andreas Waldetoft (whose work I immensely enjoy). At the same time, I wanted to cover specific themes and ideas, which are reflected in the titles I chose for each track. There are also some tracks that are similar to the music in certain other games, i.e. Rebel Galaxy ("Smuggler Blues" is one such track).
I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed creating it. In the foreseeable future I may also add more tracks to this mod, especially if there is an actual demand for it!
If you like this mod, please consider giving it a positive rating!

Update 2018-05-31:
Added two new tracks, Hyperdrive and Interstellaris. A special thanks goes to AnimeMusic Lover, who provided the MIDI used in Interstellaris.
Note: Interstellaris is a cover of Hans Zimmer's famous "No Time for Caution" composed for Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar". Like many of Hans Zimmer's unique works, it is a deeply powerful, emotional piece of music that I wanted to pay tribute to. I hope you enjoy it!
