All of the SFX and in game music.

I know its probably an old link but I wasn't aware they had added in all of the aura voices and sound effects as well.
For the nerdier types, you might notice they slightly re-sequenced some of the game music, it looks like they gave some of those songs another pass for recording and the synths, etc have unfortuntaely changed a bit.
leaving the music soundtrack on during a workday does induce a powerful nostalgia wave for many years past.

Ah, the good ol' days when it was simply...

Dat Apocrypha login screen, tho.

The obligatory: EVE has sound?
In actuality, I would not recognize a single part of the soundtrack from seven on and off years of playing. I think I kept the music on my first day of playing, that is it.

Dat Revelations theme.
Nothing else has summed up the vast majesty of the EVE universe as that theme. No crashing symphonic orchestras playing for great battles, techno-futuristic rock or synth pieces, or dark, humming melodies to hint at the danger in the distance. The Revelations Theme is a piece that for me symbolizes everything that drew me to EVE in the first place: The vastness, beauty, and complexity of the universe it is set in.
Hearing that brings me back to my newbie days of marveling at new background nebulas, examining every piece of floating space junk for detail, and thinking about the seemingly-uncountable options for ships and modules that awaited me down the line. It makes me think of times when I'd stop playing for a second just to pan my camera around in awe of this gorgeous space-universe.
I miss it.
-
Yes, dat Revelations theme.
But I prefer even more the Promised Land one, the one that was on the login screen just before. It has a perfectly dark atmosphere that Revelations lacks.

Indeed Esna.
There was something quite magical those early days when I'd have the music on -constantly-, waste most of my time staring out into space and getting info on every little object and obsessing over nerdy things the game engine was showing me.
I guess as we get more familiar with things we get less interested in the splendor of them. The game became more about the meta and the game than soaking in all the pretty things.
I used to be able to spend an hour flying from A to B and enjoying the scenery and the music, but eventually that all got crowded with 50 chat rooms and 'things to do'
-
Regardless of what I said about the music aspect, your comments about the early wonder and beauty of the game still resonates with me. There are ambient albums that I have a difficult time listening to now because they were what I played early on after I had shut off the EVE music. That feeling of endless possibilities is hard to match.

I can finally get my alarm back!! \o/
"Skill training completed." = best alarm ever
-
There's no way that would wake me up enough to not semi-consciously shut it off. I have Krewella blasted at obscene levels to get me up in the morning.
-
Meh.
You got my hopes up but I can't find the sound effect of the warp scrambler/disruptor. That "wubwub" sound is the bestest ever and ever.
-
And now Aura says "Connecting" when I log into Windows.
I am satisfied.

There's actually a few tracks in there I'd not heard! I stopped using the ingame music when they nuked the Jukebox, and instead opted for a mixed playlist with the EVE tracks mixed in. However, it looks like I've not updated this with new EVE tracks for about two years. Time to add some bits!
I still have all the ambient/drum mixes of tracks like Merchants, Loots and Ghosts if people want them. They're generally a bit longer than the vanilla EVE tracks, and actually change the music up quite a bit.
Also am I the only person who thinks that the login screen music/expansion theme tracks got a bit weird after 2010?

"The capacitor...is empty" has to be the most chilling sound in EVE (if EVE had sound, that is...)

The hull damage alarm can't even compare. That's dire, but "the capacitor... is empty" holds a special place in the darkest and coldest corner of my heart as an "fffffuuuuuckbuckets!" moment.

"The Capacitor..."
Yes, Aura? What about it? I'm in the middle of peeveepee, here, no time for interruptions!
"...is empty."
Yeah, bricks shat every time.

That message doesn't scare me as much when I was flying a buffer-tanked missile/AC boat. Or anything that uses ASB. In that case it's the armour-depletion sound effect that scares me.

The scariest sound for me was the late-night banter on Pyre voip.
