Wow. There's some amazing stuff here. I still am looking through it all and finding new stuff. This thread is amazing. Some of it is stuff I'd heard before but never knew the name of, and some is completely new to me but also amazing like Two Steps from Hell.

Might I also recommend Audiomachine? They also have some amazing "epic" music. Here's one I think fits KSP missions particularly well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO2HNDQGzZg&feature=related

Video game music, and copious amounts of it. Usually it's based on my interests at the time of launching. My current obsession is music from the game Persona 3. I especially like the tracks with a lot of action for the intense parts and the peaceful ones for orbiting/transferring away from a body. Here are a few examples from the OST:

Peaceful:

Persona 3 - The Poem for Everyone's Souls - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOHB5AUygI

Persona 3 - Mistic (sic) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdgPzyNbUQk

Listen to these when orbiting or right after a transfer burn. It's very humbling.

Action/Intense (mostly boss tracks):

Persona 3 - The Battle for Everyone's Souls - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMhTL5bZrs

Persona 3 FES - Heartful Cry - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56f2Kt6IeZU

Persona 3 FES - Darkness - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5fdXtWUPkc

Number one is good for flying planes with, at least before the singing kicks in. Number two is just my favorite song of all time at the moment, and is great for rocket launches. Number three... I did an aerobraking maneuver in my simulated interplanetary mission, and I decided to play this song, and when I did the maneuver suddenly became the most intense thing I've ever done in Kerbal. Just listen to it when you want to make something more exciting.
