PeteyG has redone the main Wing Commander 2 song and the classic Kilrathi theme with higher quality instruments using Propellerhead's Reason 2.5 software. He's spent a few days taking feedback at Crius, and I think his versions have turned out pretty well. Each is only about 2 megs, so definitely give them a listen.
The second track sounds even better when you look at this picture.
A post over on the Egosoft forums indicates that an official expansion pack to the German produced space-sim X2: The Threat is now in the works. Though I'm not a big fan of the X games, it's very reassuring that there is a space-sim out there which has sold well enough to make production of an expansion a viable option. The original game, X-Beyond The Frontier, also had an expansion pack called X-Tension. The X2 expansion will be called X2: The Return. Am I the only one who thinks that the names of these games are horribly cheesy?
