What type of music you guys think would fit in the mass effect universe?
Unknown World Theme? You know? When you're on a planet you KNOW for a fact sh*t gonna go down in....
OR
P.S. Enemy Infestation is one of the my top games, and the setting is similar lol
I thought "the orchestral" music in ME trilogy were great. So they can keep in that style.
Never liked the wonky, poor adaptation of 80's synth based ones though. Sounded like i was playing a parody of ME.

Boo! That's my favorite part about ME music! Bring the synth to Andromeda!

I can respect that, given i'm a fan of the latter....
I don't really care, but I'm quite serious in that if there are personal quarters and I can choose the music, I'll be disappointed if Ghost Riders in the Sky isn't an option. Seriously.

Bioware should make the radio be able to play custom tracks that we can supply ourselves so we can get whatever we please.
My Shepard/Protagonist is Gangsta so i need my A$AP Mob playing in the captains cabin like frfr....

Danke.
My problem was one song IIRC "ME 1 exploration/Virmire" music. Boing, boing, boing stuff. It sounds like we were riding a convertible Corvette in Summer of 82' instead of travelling to catch Saren on a planet unknown.
I'm a fan of electronic music and 80's aswell but a few songs including that one was laughable while there weren't any problematic songs from orchestral stuff. That's what i meant, being afraid of what can come and all that 
Danke.

I like this Track very much and I think it would fit into the Mass Effect Universe at some Point or another.

Okay. How about the opening scene we're stranded in a town in a desert on a planet in ass end of nowhere.... and we get some opening music....
Oh sorry... too much like Borderlands.
And I'd like Ghost Riders In The Sky.
I hope that planets and places have choices of radio stations we can tune into. GTA Vice City did this really great, and they had one where you could upload mp3s and tune into that station while you were cruising around. If exploration is the name of the game here, why not?
All they need to do here is keep doing what they were doing.
Agreed. The mix of orchestral and electronic works very well for the series, IMO. I hope they bring back Sam Hulick and/or Jack Wall.
I think the soundtracks is something they did extremely well throughout the trilogy. The music was one of the few things Bioware maintained at a top notch level throughout. Consistanly good. Some ME:A's score should be good. Im not too concerned compared to other aspects of the game.
Now personally i'd like Sam Hulick, Sascha Dikiciyan, Cris Velasco & Christopher Lennertz(even though his music could slightly veer into the meh/by the numbers catagory at times) to all return. For Mass Effect has a dinstinct, iconic musical sound/style, imo you can't really dievate from that too much. Which for such a long runnning series you need that continuity, its important to the universe imo.
At the sametime i'd like to see new additions in the likes of Jon Hallur Haraldsson especially(the Eve Online composer, amongst other things)work on the ME:A soundtrack. I think his kinda sound/incredibly atmospheric musical style in particular woud really suit the ME universe, it has that perfect sci-fi/space vibe. He'd be a great addition to the Mass Effect soundscape imo. As would Michael McCann(i loved his Human Revolution score. It was so downbeat yet beautiful & a joy to listen too with its 80's inspired electronic futuristic feel).
Also recently i was listening to the Velocity 2x Soundtrack. Its kinda like Vangelis meets Kraftwerk. It was wonderful. I was thinking its composers James Marsden & Joris De Man(of Killzone fame) would also be great additions as like Jon Hallur Haraldsson & Michael McCann etc as they would add something a bit different yet would fit the universe perfectly. Futuristic & very sci-fi, synthy n melodic, very rich and atmospheric, somewhat melancholy & calming, not so orchestral... they'd enrich the musical escense & soundscape(esp JHH). All four are highly talented composers imo. They've all made make some truly wonderful video games scores, the kind that actually adds to the game and makes them better. It wouldn't do ME:A any harm to have them on board.

Please check out this guy, he has created some very spot on mass effect 4 tracks please give them a listen , i ll post only 3 of them but he has created a whole album:
track 1
track 2 <-- this SO suits for a title theme , its rediculous when i hear it i get the urge to "press start to create new career"
track 3 another great
OP's post
They probably wont use much music, maybe sometimes it kicks in for a few seconds. Most likely they will concentrate on the ambient sounds when exploring planets because it supposedly creates better atmosphere or something. They did this with Inquisition. (Was buggy often beside the party banter - still not working properly - but theyll figure it out this time i guess.)

Id prefer these better for ME, not western.
When I show up to easily defeat the new protagonist in combat.
They could re-use themes from ME1 and ME2, especially the Afterlife music, I enjoyed listening to it for hours.
Not too much though, but Afterlife is the track 
Whatever it is, I hope the music from the E3 reveal isn't an indication of what they're targeting for the final game.
Something melodic, rather than something forgetable "cinematic" music.
AAA games of today have usualy very bad overall soundtracks, because of the non-melodic nature of the music. If I don't even notice the music, what is the point of having it there? Ambient music is sucha waste of space.
Let the music be a character of it's own, not just another skybox in the background I don't even notice. No more cinematic music, take notes from old games like the ORIGINAL Deus Ex. That music had the groove.

Makes me think, this dude right on the money....
Synth is awful. I want orchestral tracks.
