Starcraft question: I need to find the name of the song in the background of the Brood War intro. Anyone familiar with the game?

It is a sort of orchestra with a choir singing. In the scenes where the Admiral is talking to Alexei. Can't get it out of my head. On a related note, is there any way to rip the audio and video out of the CD files in some playable form? Thanks!

Yeah, when the game first came out I really liked the song too and I had to rip it from the intro using total recorder.

But then there were enough requests for the song that Blizzard actually released it: [zip file]
