Don't get me wrong, this guy is good, but the synth! I fear it's all going to be string and piano based.

I 'm worried for the same exact thing.

Don't worry...there can still be synth!!

I don't think having a film composer at all is a great idea for a franchise like ME. Unless Mac Walters is going to do what Mac Walters does and makes another terrible, railroaded plot, pours it all over us and then calls it rain-I mean an RPG.

At least Jack Wall is out. Wall made a great, orchestral, and mind numbingly generic soundtrack for ME2 that could have stood in for any number of other games or films. Not that I think we have any reason at all to expect anything different from Mr. Mansell.

If EA/Bioware wanted someone with a semi-big name who had experience scoring a film they should have got Daft Punk.

Seriously, Daft Punk.

Wow, **** must get real in ME3 if they had to bring in Mansell.

[AirborneMind]

On one side, I'm overjoyed because I love Clint Mansell's work. He's one of my favorite composers alongside John Williams, and I'm really interested to see what direction he'll take the music for Bioware's finale. On the other hand, I also loved what Jack Wall and his team did in Mass Effect 2, and think "if it aint broke..." I want to know if Mansell doing the whole score, or if he'll be working with The Wall of Sound.

QFT, the Tron Legacy soundtrack is pure gold.

I kinda hope that the Wall of Sound folk is not completely out.

Kinda like how Harry Gregson Williams only scored some central themes in Metal Gear Solid (2-4) but the rest of the soundtrack was done by "in-house" guys.

Okay you just got me listining to some of Clint's more recent music and...
...I think that this is exactly what Mass Effect 3 needs. 
But once again, I digress that certain themes still need to make a return, including 'Illusive Man', galaxy map song, Shepard's spectre theme, the Mass Effect theme, Reaper theme, Normandy theme, M4 faunts, and ME2 character themes when necessary)

As some others have stated listen to Lux Aeterna and you will know him. If anything is as epic as that...color me very very excited. Good call Bioware!

[Skilled Seeker]

This is awesome news IMO. This guy makes the most epic haunting music and Requiem for a Dream kicks ass!

[AirborneMind]

Who is Clint Mansell, you ask? He's a film composer, best known for his work on Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain. The song 'Lux Aeterna' is a particularly epic piece he wrote for the former. I'm sure you've heard it simply because it get's overused in youtube videos.

Most people who follow such composers generally consider him to be quite the innovator. Personally, I think he's right up there with Bear McCreary (composer for Battlestar Galactica and Dark Void) in terms of originality. He has a very distinct sound. He's not as prodigious as a John Williams or Hans Zimmer, but the quality is undeniable.

@N7Infernox: Careful, if you cram in too many old scores--even if they are good--you'll have no room for new and potentially better scores that could better suite a particular situation.

I don't know. M4 was essentially a concept album. The rest of their work isn't quite as fitting, though Feel.Love.Thinking.Of is a great album.

I was thinking about bands that might be suitable for use during the end credits of ME3, and Kyte would be a great fit.

[team56th]

I'm not understanding all the need for Jack Wall here. Clint Mansell is amazing. Just really, really amazing.

That's what we call fantastic news in my book.

I know most people know the Requiem for a Dream score best, but my favorite film works of his are in The Fountain and Moon.

No

[December Man]

Seriously. Everybody is spamming the Requiem for a Dream theme everywhere. I'm so frigging tired of it; if he makes anything even remotely resembling it, I'm gonna rage.

That Dead Reckoning song has a similar theme. Damn it.

I'm disappointed. I like Mansell all right. Not really one of my favorite film composers. But I thought Jack Wall's work on Mass Effect 2 was good. I agree with the above statement that Daft Punk would be the only viable replacement. Clint Mansell doesn't have the right sound to preserve musical continuity. Jack Wall's music was a good blend of electronic and orchestral. Mansell's musical style doesn't fit this franchise at all.

[Matt VT Schlo]

Jack Wall will be sorely missed

He made Moon's soundtrack as well? Now I'm even more excited!
