Music, and the Evolution of such

I adore the tracks in EvE Online. Both in combat and in general themes.

Nouvelle Rouvenor Hero IS A AMAZING track that makes me sway and hum along.

Fight how you Live is harsh, screeching, and perfect for worrisome encounters with pirates and drones.

But there's this weird contrast where combat tracks end short of combat, or that some zones have no combat music.

Then PVP and random PVE doesn't have any combat music, and I think we should turn our attention to the tracks and how the game handles Music, Combat, and how they meet.

And so, I propose...

Two-Track Themes(Or whatever it's actually called)

Looking back at an indy title of "Faster then Light" They had themes for each system, And when combat came up, the themes would switch to their combat equivalent.

Eve would benefit heavily from such a system. They already have fantastic melodic themes, but a target lock comes in, someone fires on you. Suddenly that melody that was calm and peaceful speeds up with heavy drum beats and striking brass.

Whatcha guys think?

I'm sure CCP really likes their sound design team. They have the technology and skill to do something new!

I'd adore to see some security related music as well honestly, or an option for Null sec white noise.

0.4 and below are arguably the most tense times you can have IN eve. Why not have the music fit the atmosphere?
