Though more proper treatments of Tartini's "Devil's Trill" are also good when one is in the mood. But the rock/dance treatment of it sort of *feels* like space combat theme music.

Putting on You Are Listening to Los Angeles while playing Oolite can often be a transcendental experience.

Red, Thousand Foot Krutch, Pillar, Tobymac (especially "Momentum"), and THIS. The video always makes me think of Oolite XD

Just noticed these links!!! Thank-you - I'm going to have to dig out the game CD now and rip the music on to my phone! (the game is still installed on my old Windows 95, P133 laptop - and the only reason I've kept the laptop!)
