Saki Kaska - Callista is the song that made me fall in love with Omega's Afterlife. The 1st time I entered Afterlife my brain stopped. The place was so cool, the vibe was so great, that I couldn't even think... I was in the moment... l really felt like I was really inside that place. Of course it doesn't have the same appeal now, after I dunno... 5/6 playthroughs... but this is what makes ME great... the immersive experience. Every recruitment mission and every loyalty one has a good background sound. All of them could be on the soundtrack compilation.

You guys should put a store on eBay.. I'd buy them but not on Amazon.. I aint putting a credit card.. I'll stick with eBay and paypal.

You would think of Bioware/EA really wanted my money, they would realease a physical copy of the music...its not like we havn't been asking for it...wtf?

[Dynasty091]

All I have to say is that Jack Wall is a legend for creating these soundtracks.

[HighMoon]

Finding Smara? Hmm, funny. I wonder who that is? Unreleased character perhaps?

[RVonE]

So where is the music for the DLCs?



And why haven't you released the ME2 soundtrack on a CD yet?

[Heldelance]

CD version please. I don't mind having to pay even double the cost, just as long as I have an actual memento of the awetasticness that is the music.

[Rob Sabbaggio]

Can I ask, do these soundtracks include the tracks played in the clubs (Flux, Afterlife), and the absolutely brilliant track that plays over the ME1 credits??

I'd buy just for that.

Err...no to the Flux/Afterlife music, yes to the ME1 credits song.  The ME1 soundtrack is good but all the pieces are short (between 1+ minutes to just over a hair longer than 2 minutes).  Good music but disappointed about their very short nature. 

ME2 soundtrack is more polished and much more like a real movie soundtrack.  The music is longer and fully conceived/coherent. 

The atmospheric music released is more along the lines of ME1 - short and likely put out quickly rather than polished off into a full release.  I DO hope they will continue releasing music and hope that Jack Wall produces it with that in mind so that they are longer and much more polished rather than near-excerpts from the game.

Take a look at the ME1 soundtrack (I have the CD).  WHen you play it, the metadata presents this particular piece as "Vampire ride" when it should be "Virmire ride".

Thanks mate

The extension to Mass Effect 2's soundtrack should have been the DLC soundtracks.

[Valmarn]

What they need to do is make some full-length tracks out of the DLC music, and release them for download.

We don't encourage piracy in any way, shape or form here... Although admittedly if you really want it for free, you could always rip/record the music from the game yourself.

As for myself, while I'm always pleased about more music coming out, I'm also firmly in the crowd of, "When's the CD copy coming out?" While I do want to support the artists, I like having a physical copy of my music. I would also like to see the DLC music (especially Overlord and Kasumi) released in an official form.

[Commander.John.Shepard]

Meh, People! Download FLAC and TURN them ON, on your home theatres or on some kind of very powerful sound system... It will blow your soul out of your body by its EPIC sound!

No to piracy and all but...how do you rip it from the game?  I thought of trying to pull out the music from the Overlord DLC when I was processing a Fraps video capture for upload to the net but when I tried to pull out the sound, there were two tracks and they were not separable.  Never having done this before, I assumed the dual track was the music and the atmospherics (announcements over the station PA system, comments from squadmates, etc).   I thought I might have to capture a new vid while me and my squadmates just stand still so the music would not be conflicted with ambient noise and chatter. 

I'd like to pull out the Overlord music and edit it a bit so that it would be more coherent for listening to on my 'puter or my iPod.

You don't need to attach physical body to something immaterial like music or game, buy&download online, keep it on hard drive and save some space on the shelf!

Is the track that played during the collector base @ launch of attack on the 3rd soundtrack by any chance? It's the song that played when you had a squad mate run through the vents.

[ForumHelper]

This is not fair! We, people from Poland, as always can't get the soundtracks, dlcs and anything else the normal way everybody gets them... Amazon doesn't sell MP3 files in Poland, Itunes neither. I was really going to buy the ME2 OST... Bad luck.

I also vote selling at the Bioware Store, even in cd/dvd format with DLC music too. You'd also make more money if people can actually buy them outside of the US vs trying to get them via other means. :|

I too own the first 2 soundtracks. Just great music really. I really really loved the first one and listened to it everyday while working. When the second one came out, I still enjoyed the ME1 more, but now I'm all over the ME2 one. Every day.

And yep, I would LOVE to own the Afterlife song too!

I started out only liking a few of the tracks on ME1 originally, but have since come to like them all.  Same with ME2's soundtrack.  In fact, I've found I like to work out or run to a few specific tracks:  Grunt, Tali, End Game, Suicide Mission.  While I listen to them I am able to temporarily get separated from the sweating I'm doing and actually push myself harder.

I've recently acquired the game-extracted combat music for Overlord and the suicide mission music from when the squad is protected by the biotic barrier - you know, softer and sounding like either a cello or oboe is playing.  LOVE it...just hope they release a finished/polished version of both soon.  Love listening to them when I work out too.

Love Jack Wall's work, love the game music.

@Aratham Darksight try searching in the iTunes store of your country. I live in Sweden and were able to buy all the albums.
But as dazyb said.. MP3 is not the same as lossless quality.
As a soundtrack collector, I want lossless, no matter how much extra cost.

Edit:
Btw, It seems to me they won't release Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 2: Atmospheric soundtracks as CD's since they have removed the part in the products description on their store that say "Coming Soon".. what a shame..

With a bit of work on your part, it is possible to get the music pulled out of the game without compression/loss.  There are a lot of youtube music tracks that are the actual music tracks pulled from the game. 

If you install Audacity on your computer you can stream the music into a recording directly and then do with it as you wish (save as a wav file, ogg, mp3, flac, etc, etc).  I have recently mixed two related tracks I recorded with Audacity from youtube into something I like (still tweaking it to get it more perfect):  suicide mission biotic barrier music (the soft music before they run into enemies) cross-faded into the version of that music that played when the collectors and harbinger started appearing. 

Here's a trick:  install Fraps.  Start the game from a point just before you come to music you like.  Record your game video with fraps as you head into the location where the music starts.   Then just stand there and do nothing with your character for a while until you have acquired enough of the music to please you.  Stop recording the video capture with fraps.  You can now extract the sound from the video in full stereo.  You play the video on windows media player and at the same time record with Audacity straight to hardware.  You can then edit/tweak the music to your liking. 

This will do until Bioware releases the music officially (professionally edited and tweaked) - IF they do so. 

You can also extract it from the game via Gibb's audio editor (google it...it is related to the Gibb 's game editor - cheat thingy - that some people use to alter their save games, alter their stats, etc, ie, CHEAT).  It's a free tool.

I think we all want the dlc soundtracks aswell for the club music soundtracks, i would without question buy those.

[Deemsee]

The ME1 album is available on Aussie iTunes...I found it only after some searching. It sells as 'Mass Effects'
Just thought I'd post this for any other frustrated Aussies!
