Hah, got to Protoss 3. Notice how after that melanchonic and nostalgic first section, you can hear wind in the background with this alien series of harmonies, obviously intended to signify Aiur, from which eventually a triumphant march emerges that ends the piece in a short crescendo. Whoever wrote this actually thought this through. The music tells something about the Protoss, it's not just random noices meant to sound generically atmospheric.
Meanwhile in Zerg we sense discovery, mystery, birth and evolution. It's not cosmic like the Protoss, it reaches into the depths, because the Zerg are a new race trying to discover themselves, and you can almost feel the exitement of being alive. The music is vibrant, even when it sinks into the darkest regions, like in the middle of Zerg 3 where it feels you are taken into the primordial where you first hear what seems like the "screams" of new emerging life and then this driving, drumming section as they emerge and move forward.
I don't know what they put in the water but it's like there's a 50 IQ points drop off from 90s devs to modern ones. Actually, make that 100. Everything nowadays is such mind numbing generic slop.
