We all know that Jack Wall and others did an exceptional job. Most of us are familiar with Clint Mansells' powerful scores as well. In a "Jack" thread a poster and I started talking about music we associate with certain characters. Music that invokes the power and attitude of the character. This isn't changing a score, just music we hear when dealing with the characters.

This is what "Jack" invokes in me.

This is "Shep".

Well those are mine. Thane and others are hard because their characters are too complicated for just one type of sound. So, what music can you relate to a character in the ME universe? 
(My only request. Try to keep it clean please.)

This song, IMO, fits perfectly with the context of Shepard rising to fight the Reapers. The song starts with a very synthetic, robotic sound (which would symbolize the Reapers) and then from underneath that comes the more orchestral sound until the orchestral sound completely drowns out the synthetic sound. (This would obviously symbolize Shepard)

Anyway, here is the song :)

This is going to be an epic thread.

I will post my entries later on tonight when I have more time to think about them.

this following is a nice photo animation using the music of Hans Zimmer in Inception. 
but to me it would perfectly suit a love scene , or Shep gazing into the big empty void before some major confrontation.

If your LI was indoctrinated and you had no choice but to end their pain. Also if you had to sacrifice them for whatever reason

Shepard's Return: Rise, by The Cult

Shepard Alone Among Strangers: Far Away, by Avenged Sevenfold

Collectors on the March: Game On, by Disciple

Afterlife: Undisclosed Desires, by Muse

Zaeed: Indestructible, by Disturbed

Jack: Welcome to the Family, by Avenged Sevenfold

You all have some hits!! I actually didn't expect the music choices to incite an impact. Thanks.

OP, i really like your choice for the confrontation between TIM or the final Reaper. I think that would work very well in ME3 as the final "Time for the reapers to die" cutscene music.

Also, I always thought the Russian National Anthem kind of sounded like victory music (planes flying over head, lots of troops fighting back enemy forces), but I think it would be out pf place in ME.  Oh well  :whistle:

edit: just had to fix the "vistory" typo.

Thanks. I was really trying to see if others had a piece of music in mind when they play. Not trying to change the soundtrack which I'm hoping will be superb. It's just music can be the very fabric that ties the game together on a personal level.

The Russian National Anthem makes me think that Uldina and the Council are running around trying to scramble troops to defend the Citadel and I can see it ending badly for them.

@omgodzilla I'd forgotten about the Crysis 2 instrumental. Good choice.

Commander Shepard- Indestructible, by Disturbed 

She is dedicated, and will stop at nothing to stop the Reapers.

Lyrics That I Think Apply:

No explanation will matter after we begin
Unlock the dark destroyer that's buried within
My true vocation and now my unfortunate friend
You will discover a war you're unable to win

My declaration embedded deep under my skin
A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life



Chorus:
I'll have you know
That I've become

Indestructible
Determination that is incorruptible
From the other side, a terror to behold
Annihilation will be unavoidable

Every broken enemy will know
That their opponent had to be invincible
Take a last look around while you're alive
I'm an indestructible master of war!

Arrival/Final Battle- Requiem for a Dream, by Clint Mansell

Always loved this piece, truly underrated IMO. Nothing is more epic or installs fear in me like this.

Shepard to Reapers/Reapers to Shepard (both fit well): All Nightmare Long, by Metallica

Simply put, its about hunting things to extinction.

 Lyrics That I Think Apply: 

Crawl from the wreckage one more time.
Horrific memory twists the mind.
Dark, rutted, cold and hard to turn.
Path of destruction feel it burn.

Chorus:

Cause we...
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long
Feel us breathe upon your face
Feel us shift, every move we trace
Hunt you down without mercy
Hunt you down all nightmare long



I have more, if you guys like these, I will post them.

My prime concern is that Clint may toss all the existing leitmotifs out the window.

Almost forgot

Final Battle- Agent Combat (LotSB Theme) Metal Cover by Ryashon

While this is no where near as good as the original, it still kicks enough *** to be upthere with my Suicide Mission playlists. If you like metal, this is worth a look.
