📋 About This Mod
This simple mod replaces the descent music with a brilliant orchestral mashup by Pontus Hultgren Music, featuring Starship Troopers' Klendathu Drop mixed with A Cup of Liber-Tea. Very lightly edited for timing. The full five minute track will play in case of one of those slow connecting dives where you just hang out in atmosphere. Dynamically mixes back into the original music; I felt it was close enough in style that no further editing was needed.

Full credit goes to the original author Pontus Hultgren, who sanctioned this use in the video description. Please let me know if the timing is off for you or if something else is not right, and I will make further edits. Enjoy.
