Saw this, but got distracted and forgot about it - I've uploaded these to 1.18 and 1.19 in Book 13.

The opening of Sombre immediately reminded me of one of the existing tracks (Love Theme possibly? Either that or Transience) but then it went in a totally different direction. Still, it does have a sorta similar kind of feel to Love Theme. I suppose that makes sense since it's the same composer… anyway, it seems to fit in with the other Wesnoth music. It did feel a bit muddy around the middle though. It seems like it could fit for a "calmer" scenario or cutscene.

The percussion in Ambient variation 1 seems nice. I think this track is a bit more suspenseful? I like this one the most of the four, I think.

Brainstorm is pretty nice too, even calmer than Sombre (well, I guess Sombre is sombre after all). It's a little drab and monotonous(?) though.

I'm not sure it would make sense to include all 4 of these tracks in the core game, as they're all pretty similar to each other. At least one could be added, maybe two.
