Stellar Drone - Light Years

https://www. youtube. com/watch?v=NDJn0SQehb4

This is the music for the original Aurora game, and inseparable from it.

Battle Keeper a.k.a. Best part of Homeworld 2 soundtrack.
The whole Homeworld series has quite good OST, I am especially in love with Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak OST.

That was an awesome mission, I forget how large everything needs to be with Real Solar System.
Great soundtrack too.

2 Wicky - Hooverphonic
Assignment: Outer Space - Kernfeld
Intelligent Creatures & Technology Eats Its Young - Powerman 5000
Somewhere on the Other Side of Nowhere - Powerman 5000
Wandering Star - Kid Beyond (or the original by Portishead)
Space Oddity - David Bowie
Astro Zombies - Misfits (optionally, listen to the version that's featuring Joan Jett)
Fly Me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra
The Final Countdown - Europe
Space Truckin' - Deep Purple
Man On The Moon - R.E.M.
Telstar - The Tornados
White Light - Gorillaz
Gravity - Gorillaz
Starshine - Gorillaz
Space - M.I.A.
Astronomy - Blue Oyster Cult (or the Metallica version, if you prefer it)

Sometimes when I want a laugh I listen to Electronik Supersonik by Zlad.

Also worth mentioning are the soundtracks to various space-themed tv shows, movies, and games, some of my favorite being Battlestar Galactica (some of these are duds, but the good ones are great!), Descent (the game), and the original Starcraft OST.

You can also pretty much just search for "space ambient" on youtube and come up with a dozen great results.

Bump.
Stumbled upon this channel on youtube and instantly thought of Aurora.
 Trinity ward
Seems to be a fairly unknown indie at least by the tiny number of views and the lack of any subscribers. Though it's likely the channel isn't official. Check it out if you're a fan of industrial, atmospheric, electro ... Funk I guess?
Edit: I checked their website, that is their youtube channel, first subscriber lol.

I'd recommend the whole Space Engineers OST.

list=PLhPp-QAUKF_ishuzv6A_h4IWVB4BQZNpQ

Its got battle music, peaceful construction music, exploration music, everything.

I could recommend a lot of stuff, though I personally don't like to listen to music when playing Aurora. It just seems too technical for the etherial for me.
However there is one amazing and neutral title I could recommend that comes from 4x too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu-zLip6tkI&list=FLBgabXWdptKx6RYabEsb5Qg&index=58
The trancy style and then the title name hit perfectly. The rest of the soundtrack is fair, but not as outstanding as this.

SomaFM has few stations that I love listening to while playing Aurora:

http://somafm.com/missioncontrol/
http://somafm.com/dronezone/
http://somafm.com/deepspaceone/
http://somafm.com/spacestation/

Mission Control is my favourite - nothing beats ambient with actual Apollo/STS audio logs.

Actually I think some of the stuff from incompetech would be great for Aurora ambiance, allthough I keep hearing the same tracks being used in Kerbal Space program videos on youtube, but I've found some awesome atmospheric tracks already.
Here's a collection called "Dark world" slow somewhat eery tracks which would suit whatever you happen to be doing at the time.

Alot of the stuff there is free, but you can support the artist Kevin Macleod by buying them, theres currently a 7 hour long collection of compilations for about 10 bucks. Or you could just download stuff and queue them up, whatever :p

Skrillex is like star trek and doctor who.   A lot (maybe even a majority) of their fanbases are annoying, which I think fosters the ILLUSION that they aren't very good when in fact I think they are.   

I'd argue that when it comes to Doctor Who, heheh, but that's a good point.   I think Skrillex and dubstep in general gets a bad rap in some quarters that it doesn't really deserve.   I've heard a lot of it that I really like that's also pretty different from the stuff Skrillex puts out, but people tend to lump it all in under the Skrillex category. 

It's not the kind of stuff I tend to listen to while playing Aurora, mind, but it's still pretty good IMO. 

As for Pink Floyd - some of it fits, some of it doesn't.   I tend to stay away from the more conventional-sounding acoustic rock stuff and the weird, proto-industrial stuff like 'Money' and go straight for the space-ier songs.  'Set the Controls.  .  .  ', 'On the Run', 'Obscured by Clouds' or 'Quicksilver' are all pretty good choices.
