Nothing but dubstep, trap, and DNB.

WE STILL SAY JOHNNY CASH!! GRRAAAAAAGGH!! AND ADD SOME MESHUGGAH TOO!! GREATEST BAND IN WHOLE GALAXY! MUSIC INDOCTRINATES ALL! REMNANTS OF REAPERS!!!!

 

[Zatche]

I like Synth, and I like Johnny Cash. Let's put them together. Let's hear Depeche Mode's 'Personal Jesus' remixed with the vocals from the cover by Johnny Cash.

But really, I think they should stay the course for the most part, mixing Synth and Orchestra.

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.

 

I thought ME1 had very excellent and memorable music. It reminded me a lot of Bladerunner, my favorite sci-fi movie of all time.

 

My current favorite videogame soundtrack is the soundtrack of The Witcher 3. That game's soundtrack is pure gold, absolutely perfect. I've never heard such an amazing and original soundtrack in a game before.

 

Ofcourse this music would never fit in a Mass Effect game (or any other game, it's clearly specifically tailored for The Witcher universe) but I'm still going to link it as an example of how awesome a videogame soundtrack can sound:

A couple suggestions:

 

I like Com Truise a lot, and his music sounds pretty space-y, so that might work. Karova is probably my favorite Com Truise track. Perturbator's another very good synth-based act (and yes, I discovered them via Hotline Miami). Here's a piece that could work in the context of the game.

 

Even though I actually liked Leaving Earth and An End, Once and for All, I prefer the synth-based approach. To my way of looking at things, Mass Effect isn't really about the future; it's about our past ideas of the future, whether they be from Star Trek, Alien, Blade Runner or wherever else. There's a strong element of nostalgia to the series that's been there since the beginning (witness the optional film grain effect for Mass Effect 1). Having that synth-based music retains that element of knowing self-reference that you wouldn't get with an orchestral score.

Confirmed:  MEA soundtrack written and performed by VNV Nation.

 

That's a soundtrack I would buy!

 

Actually, since Combichrist did the last DMC soundtrack - if there's a nightclub I want something like this:

When I first played ME1 I had such a weird feeling of Deja Vu ... and I think you may have just hit the nail on head as to why.

[Chealec]

Galaxy Map soundtrack ... even in the future they run Windows! O_o

 

[Display Name Owner]

Eh. I've kind of had my fill of the orchestral "feel the epicness and emotions" music that you hear... everywhere. I'm not saying take it all out, the Suicide Mission theme was great for instance, but imo the synthy stuff was something kind of different. It went with what ME's style was all about, rather than the generic choir singing, drums booming, horns blaring thing.

If I hear one god damn bit of dubstep I'm uninstalling. That is only a very slight exaggeration.

Oh man this brings me back. Used to listen to this kind of music all the time as a teenager (I was dating a goth chick back then and she got me into the goth scene and this kind of music).

 

I wouldn't mind hearing something like this in a questionable nightclub in ME:A:

Aaah Grendel - can't go wrong with a bit of Dutch TBM

 

 

 

^ that pretty much sums me up; though I'm (way) the wrong side of 35 now I suspect I'll be a rivethead until I die :\

 

I am a walking stereotype it seems.

I want to actually listen to some Johnny Cash in this game

NIN Cover?

 

 

 

(crap - shouldn't have linked to that video ... I find it really hard to watch; it was made after his wife died and it actually chokes me up somewhat - way more harrowing the the original)

Fun fact: a friend of my ex-girlfriend was living together with Marc from Grendel. I actually chilled at their home a couple of times with the entire band (I'm Dutch myself).

 

And aye that pic sums up the teenage-version of me as well. Well, I was more of a hybrid. I was a guitarist in a black metal band when I met my (now ex) girlfriend. She introduced me to industrial music and I introduced her to some proper black- and death metal.

Eventually we broke up and now I only sporadically listen to industrial and other similar genres (EBM, dark-wave, dark-electro, etc.). After my goth girlfriend and I broke up I dated a whole arrange of different women from different backgrounds with different music tastes. My taste in music grew quite diverse because of that. But I will always be a metalhead first and foremost. Metal is still in my blood and always will be.

I want more music like this in ME:A as well:

And i've ditched the black hair and look being too old now. It was fun back in the day.

[Larry-3]

I do not care about the genre. As long as it is really emotional. I do love Ambient, Jazz, and New-age.

[N7Jamaican]

I also liked "Fleets Arrive" that grew on me.  Oh and the Crucible theme.. The soundtrack has soo many feels.. Everytime I hear Saren's theme, it makes me think of those times when I died on insanity when a Geth Sniper used assassination and one-shot me.

[SagaX]

As long as music fills every moment perfecty, there can be many genres.

If would be awesome if depending on how high Paragon/Renegade points, the music would change its tone. Like more aggressive as Renegade and more heroic as Paragon.

[Kabooooom]

Their music style was perfect. Tweak it, but don't change it.

Tangerine Dream in Andromeda

[BraveVesperia]

I'm happy with the styles of music they used previously in ME. My favourites tend to be the orchestral ones, like the suicide mission music. What I really want is ambient music. There wasn't much (any?) in the hub areas previously, and DAI was even lacking ambient music for world exploration. Bioware's are the only games I've played that seem really lacking in that department.

Heheh - you're never too old for Trad Goth! Though nowadays you could just stick a cog on it and call it Steampunk

 

Though I have to admit, at the last Whitby Gothic Weekend, I thought ageing Cybers looked a little ... odd.

Weirdly when I was a teenager I was more into Metal than Industrial (the crossover was KMFDM and Ministry); Carcass, Entombed, Samael, Napalm Death, Obituary, Sepultura, Slayer... with a bit of Black Metal thrown in like Dimmu Borgir, Immortal, Darkthrone or Emperor.

 

... actually I was a bit of a Sepultura fanboy before the Roots album. I still have my white 50 series BC Rich Warlock *ahem*

 

 

Tangerine Dream in Andromeda

 

Spoiler

 

Good call - that's a band that was WAY ahead of their time.

 

 

 

Hmmm actually, here's a MP gameplay vid that I cobbled together... this is the kind of music I sort of associate with playing Krentinel (yes, the first track is there purely for the comedy value) - but "Who's fist is this anyway?" could that get much more Krogan?

 

[Former_Fiend]

I really hope that the music has greater variety and higher quality than the first trilogy.

 

The score was fine, for the most part, if somewhat forgetable; nothing about it really stands out in my mind.

 

What does stand out are the atrocious, bland, generic, electronica tracks that you could set to play in  your cabin and the generic "club crab" beats that you'd hear in the obligatory night club levels and during the loud version of the party.

 

I'd like to see a lot more effort put into the music this time around.

there is nothing generic about the electronic tracks from Mass Effect 1 (those tracks also play in the Cabin in ME2 so I assume that's the tracks you're referring to).

 

As for ME not having memorable music, I beg to differ:

[FKA_Servo]

I think they should keep on doing whatever they did for ME1, because it worked.

 

Failing that, they should go full Johnny Cash. I got a kick out of everyone raging about that one.
