Please remember to SHUFFLE before playing!

Fast-paced modern tech/synth/electronica music

Please note that these are definitely more heavily geared towards a 'clean/neat' SciFi like Mass Effect/FTL, utilizing mostly modern synth/drum instrumentation with added orchestra.
For dark/evil gritty modern, try the Vampire playlists.
For gritty militaristic modern, try the Military playlists.

Howling March (Skyrim inspired)

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a 2012 strategy action game from Firaxis / 2K Interactive. The soundtrack, composed by Michael McCann is a blend of electronic, orchestral and break-beat.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Original Soundtrack)

XCOM: EU - The Arrival [Intro]

This track was made for an indie film called 'Burning Mussolini' that McCann scored way back in the 2000s. The movie can't be found anywhere it seems. But someone might dig this bit of ambient suspense.

Ambient Chase 2

Music for the combat state, a couple of our creature designers started referring to this as the "track with the inception sound in it..." ha!
