Not being a classical connoseiur, I must beg you to describe the scene you recall... All the soundtrack in it just plain ruled.
For the background, I meant the one you see more and more of over the course of the game: the galactic center. It looks a lot like that picture I posted of M82. The Adagio for Strings was the music you first heard at the beginning of the 3rd mission in Homeworld when something goes wrong (I don't want to ruin it for digitalspector, who is GOING TO GO AND BUY HOMEWORLD RIGHT NOW! I mean that. Really. You must.). I can PM you freddo, if you want me to remind you. You should look up a copy of the original: it was written for a small string ensemble, and is so wonderfully sad and moving.
