@Terror: Listen closely. It's very Mass Effect.

Here, let me help.

And that horn flourish at the end is Shepard's theme.

Sorry to reqoute myself, but oh my god, the new sound clip IS a reprise of the "Victory" theme from ME1.

I KNEW it was familiar!

In terms of dominant instrumentation, a very orchestral piece. As were the "Mass Effect Theme" (and the reprise at the end), "Spectre Induction", "The Citadel", "The Presidium", "Defending the Colony", "The Alien Queen", "Breeding Ground", "Exit", "Sovereign's Theme", and "Uplink". Even the more predominantly "synthy" tracks in ME1 often had a lot of strings and horns thrown in, sometimes transitioning into full-on orchestral mode (e.g. "Saren"). Like many other things around here, the degree to which ME2's score was more orchestral than ME1's is over-exaggerated.

Also, somber, piano-based stuff ain't new to the series either:



One thing I've always found amusing too is that the people who gripe about ME2's score being "Hollywoodified" never call out ME1 for having some rock track that really has nothing at all to do with the game and wasn't written for it play over the credits.  Regardless of the fact that it's a good track, that's pure Hollywood right there.

Sam promised us some classic synth stuff, and I'll take his word for it.

There's not always a good moment for synth.

Like at the end of the Earth level. I really don't think a synthy and upbeat track would have contributed to anything in that scene.

I like how people here comment like they know something about music, but in reality they don't...


These people know what they're doing.

Thanks for stopping by Cris.  Also: please use your super composer powers to make them sell your Arrival stuff.

Hello! I really can't wait to hear what you've done for ME3. =] I also loved your scores at GoW (which I played in September with my friend in Germany).

Did the Arrival soundtrack take some inspiration from Vangelis? It is one of my favorites.

Of course they will.  You can even find some people griping about the sample they released.  It's mild by BSN standards, but it's still griping.

I'm so excited to hear all the amazing music! The music in the previous games and DLC have been impressive

I've seen his Tweet about that.

EA is just not doing it for unknown reason.

Great to see you around Cris, you have no idea how glad I am to know you're working on ME3. Call me silly/sentimental. I loved Arrival's music and I know you won't let us down.

Also what didymos1120 said.

Shame, really. Arrival was very... homage-y, the best out of the DLC OSTs for me. I'd buy that album in a heartbeat.

Just because a track has synthesizers doesn't mean that it's upbeat. Just listen to Noveria and Vigil.

Hey PLC, I remember you had doubts about ME3's soundtrack when Mansell alone was announced, so how about now? :D

I believe that's a neatly straightforward way of putting how we all feel. Or at least the majority. Can't fathom how someone can't approve of such an awesome team of composers.
