Spore Soundtrack - Sporepedia Galactica

No one really ripped the entire song for some odd reason, so yeah, this is the longest song in the entire game, going up to a whoppin' 13 minutes!
Composed by Saul Stokes.
Fun Fact - The actual file name for this is "shopping" which is what Will Wright called the Sporepedia in the presentation. In the later stages of development, it was about to be called "Encyclopedia Galactica" before settling it with the final.

Some people wait for Half life 3 but not us... we wait for *Spore 2.*

[@nicefloweytheoverseer7632]

I wait for both and Terraria 1.4 and Thrive 0.5.0 and Minecraft 1.17 (Minecraft 1.16 was shown on the wiki while 1.15 was still in development) and XBOX 2 ;) and STARBOUND 1.5 (they already have 1.4) and BFBFBFDI/BFBFB/BFB 17 and TPOT 1 and Vast Error Act 2 and Hiveswap: Act 2 and Hauntswitch: Act 1 and for VALVe to actually make Prospero and a lot of other stuff... like The Sims FIVE.

[@pumpkinsoda9017]

Spore Remastered has a better ring to it imo

[@iSyriux]

Many things I disagree with you on this list Sims 5 should not be made. They should just add alot of the features from sims 2 and 3 into sims 4 to create a modern, featurepacked, fun sims game. And also just get the fuck out from EA's evil grasp. I have no idea about the half of the games on your list so I will just talk about the ones that I do recognise. Minecrafy 1.17 is obviously going to be made soon, and after that 1.18. Xbox isn't a videogame

slendy stijn after years of playing spore i’ve made two space stage empires and both reached the center, that was my first time ever finishing spore. also both of those empires dominate the purple spice market and raid every empire with a purple spice colony. i also found a purple spice homeworld which i bought for 10 million which has a capacity for 70 purple spice and produces 1 purple spice every few seconds.

I always get good 2000s vibes, and very powerful nostalgic auras from this very tune. Very relaxing. It's either tune or instrumental song, but it's still great. Wow. Unbelievable.

[@paptrisha]

I'll never forget what spore gave me, even if the game was short and a lot more simple then it was originally intended to be, it was so so memorable, and that is an accomplishment in it's self, I remember back when I was 8 and playing it on my big brother's computer and just falling in love with it then and there. especially with the music, it was nothing I have ever heard before but it was so beautiful, as someone that grew up in a tough home, playing video games like this and the Sims will always be something from my childhood that I loved, thank you Will and everyone

Spore has such unique, atmospheric music. Really 2000's, which makes it even more nostalgic.

[@XYZB0RG]

I'm convinced people only think this is nostalgic because these days everybody is a cynical bastard and there's no whimsical hope for the future like we used to have.

Oh the nostalgia is so great. I remember so long ago before our computer hadn't broken I used to play so much Spore and have so much fun. And now I finally was able to get spore on my computer. I remember the crazy creature my cousin created that had hands for feet and when he reached tribal stage the Chieftain would hold the Stick by his foot instead of actual hands. Such good times.

[@yernow8216]

hehe yeah, I used to play it yearsss ago on an old windows XP PC that is thankfully still working nowadays. I haven't checked in awhile (a few years) but last time the PC was still working. I still have my old and first spore on it with hundreds of my own creatures and many many planets. I love that if you play a new planet there's a chance of bumping into your own creature that you created in the past. I've created so many that I was bumping to them all the time :D back then I loved the feeling. This was truly one of the best games of my childhood!

Where did you find the names for the songs?

[@SporeUGSMusic]

They are all fan-named expect for the usable tunes in Galactic Adventures. Honestly, the game gave them bland titles to begin with in the source code.

[@aperson1]

Also sorry if this seems like a stupid question but where can I find the sound files for the game?

[@SporeUGSMusic]

They are found in the in Spore_Audio1 and 2 package files in the data folder (the first contains sound effects, the second has music). You need SporeMaster to extract them, however I don't recommend you do that yet because it can be hard to find what you're looking for. I'm offering a guide in the future to teach people how to the rip the music for their listening pleasure. :)

[@CRex]

Thank you so much for ripping this! Would you be able to share the soundtrack with my via PM or something? I read the topic on DavoOnline and saw you wanted to avoid publicly releasing the MP3s due to legal issues.

[@SporeUGSMusic]

Sharing the MP3's to you? Maybe, although I can't just give it to anyone who asks me. I'm offering a guide to teach those how to rip the music once I'm done. It's not that hard, although the alien themes and GA music requires more traditional methods and exploits. Also, the Sporepedia theme is composed by Saul Stokes, not Cliff Martinez. There's a forum somewhere where the guy confirmed it.

[@CRex]

SporeUGSMusic Saul Stokes composed this piece? Never knew that. Did Cliff Martinez compose any music for the game? Spore is mentioned on his website, although it doesn't explicitly state which piece. Also, I'd be quite interested in ripping the music myself - currently the only copy of the soundtrack I have on my PC is a low bitrate copy from a few years back, and it is missing a few pieces of music.

[@SporeUGSMusic]

To my knowledge, Cliff composed the Galaxy themes, but he might've made the Space and loading music as well (don't take my word for it since I have no proof). As for Brian Eno did, he designed the procedurally generated music for the game. Other than that, I don't know who did the rest of the tracks aside from various production artists and the reused tunes from EAxis' other titles. Just to warn you, ripping the alien and GA tracks is not easy. Even if you are good at audio editing, ripping some of the tracks in GA is painful due to some tracks looping internally. I don't think I was very clear on that part, but I'll try everything in my power to make it as easy as possible. I see you got the old rip by Luminar that I once hosted for him. Once the project is complete, delete that version and never look back.

[@Tynorg]

SporeUGSMusic Brian Eno composed the loading theme for sure (it's actually part of the song Hopeful Timean Intersect from one of his albums, Making Space). Emergence is also part of a song from the same album, Delightful Universe (Seen From Above). Part of me wonders how many of his other album songs are actually in the game...

[@SporeUGSMusic]

It's a little sad that someday I'll have to work for the things I have already. I grew up playing Spore and creating nonsensical creatures.

Eventually that turned into me just creating normal creatures that I believe could be real.
