Apocryphos - A Dark Ambient Soundtrack

Description
This mod adds 4-5 hours of remixed music from the dark ambient artist Apocryphos (one of the artists involved with Cryo Chamber) as well as their affiliated albums to supplement the in-game soundtrack. See the videos above for some examples.

You can use this mod with either (or both) of my other similar music mods below to create an even bigger, more varied soundtrack:

Cryo Chamber - A Dark Ambient Soundtrack

Kammarheit - A Dark, Otherworldy Ambient Soundtrack:

The vanilla soundtrack is still intact for anyone who wants to keep it - if not, you can easily disable all the vanilla songs in the in-game music player.

Should be compatible with any other mods. Is definitely compatible with ironman and achievements.

Check Apocryphos out on bandcamp at this link if you enjoy the music and want to support the artist: https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/

Select tracks were drawn from the albums Echo, Stone Speak, Onyx, Prisoner's Cinema and Oneironaut to make the mod. I only used tracks that I personally enjoy, and that I thought would fit with the game. Hopefully you will be as pleased with the results as I am.

I got started in Stellaris recently, and saw this mod while browsing around. I couldn't resist, given that I regularly listen to Cryochamber artists. But, on the topic of the comment, I wanted to say I had probably the most memorable event so far thanks to this mod.

I found Sanctuary, which was armed to the teeth with ridiculously powerful defenses, and got an automated greet mentioning how it's been operative for so many millenia, giving hints about how their creators haven't visited in such a long time. Meanwhile, the music changed from the default vanilla tracks to "Aphotic". The music, which was hopeful and uplifting, suddenly became ominous and mysterious dark ambient while it happened. The situation had such a fitting atmosphere, and it got burnt into my memory thanks to it.

To be honest, I think this music fits the game better than the vanilla tracks, and gives it a more fitting mood. Thank you for making this, and hoping to see more of them.

@JustinWPU. It does actually work. Did you read the description? You need to disable the vanilla tracks in the in game music menu by unchecking them if you don't want to hear any vanilla music.

If I did anything to remove or replace the base soundtrack it could make the mod incompatible with lots of other mods that some people might want to use this with.
