Eh. I was kind of hoping he *didn't* come back. His music for Age of Wonders was pretty great, but Galactic Civilizations pretty much just droned on in the background endlessly.
Even his battle music wasn't particularly memorable. Warcraft 3 and Supreme Commander both have incredible soundtracks - GalCiv, not so much. Maybe he'll prove me wrong this time, though. I haven't heard Elemental's music yet.
Galciv's tension/wartime music was good though.
