They didn't exclude him. He decided not to continue working on it, not sure why.. it's the last ME with Shepard.

The reason it comes up is because unlike other games, the ME series is defined by it's music, as I was saying. It's extremely distinctive and very strong, with only a handful of weak or bland tunes, and that's over two games with a ton of music, and at it's peak (suicide mission, particularly), it's some of the best music you'll find in a computer game.

So people don't want to lose that.

You're right that if there's anyone who can do it, it's Clint Mansell. The only question is will he take over where they left off, or will he dump what's been done and do his own thing? I honestly hope it's the former. I'm sure the soundtrack will be excellent either way, but it's the question of whether it'll be an "ME" sound track by Clint Mansell or just a really good Clint Mansell soundtrack that happens to be attached to an ME game, if you see the difference.

I wish we'd seen him work with established music before where he took that music and worked from it, but we haven't really (as he disregarded Doom's music, or so it seems to me, and didn't alter Swan Lake much, of course).

I'm still surprised by it as alot of people don't seem to give Clint Mansell the credit he deserves.  Most of the previous threads seemed to boil down to Mansell not being able to pull off Mass Effect because he does movies / is depressing / orchestra has no place in sci-fi.   I'm a huge fan of the ME music and I don't want to lose the sound and feel of Mass Effect myself. I do see the difference in what you're saying.  Unfortunately, until we hear something we won't know.  

I admit, I'm interested in his take on the ME music and I'm looking forward to what he's going to do because I feel strongly that Mansell is adept at building mood with music.  I'd like to hear his interpretation of Mass Effect and see where he goes with it.  I'm anticipating in this case, it will be the former, rather than the later in your example.

I think ME1>ME2 soundtrack. I'm not too supportative of either tbh. ME2 had TIM Theme, Tali Theme, and Samara Theme -- the rest felt kind of bland to me. ME1 had a dozen good songs I thought.

I don't like synth, really can't judge. I liked some of the Overlord, LoTSB and the Arrival tracks.

>Jack Wall/Sam Hulick IMO

So glad you shared that song. It has been a favorite of mine since I saw that movie. 

I hate when directors and composers are replaced for endings of trilogies and series finales, but I am not at all truly worried.

Clint Mansell is genius.

Clint Mansell is up there with Two Steps From Hell. The grand finale of ME3 deserves this kind of music.

I would imagine ME3 having something like this:


Nothing short of epic.
