User:Loadingue/Sandbox/Mass Effect Original Soundtrack



Mass Effect Original Soundtrack was released on November 20, 2007. It was composed by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick with additional music by Richard Jacques and David Kates. The song that plays over the final credits, "M4 Part II", was written by Faunts, who are from Edmonton, Alberta (where Mass Effect was developed at BioWare's main studio).

According to the press release it is inspired by classic sci-fi movies such as Blade Runner and Dune. The score blends 80's electronic music with modern orchestral scoring.

Trivia

 * Several compositions from the game are not included as tracks on the album. However, many of the missing tracks have been extracted from the game, and uploaded into videos. Here is a link to the first part of a series: Part 1 of 3; here is another series, more complete: Part 1 of 6.
 * In the Australian iTunes store the soundtrack is incorrectly titled Mass 'Effects' and has different titles for some tracks, such as 'Battling Saren' being titled 'Must Battle Saren' and 'Liara's World' being titled 'Calestron', a misspelling of the original name for Therum, Caleston. It also makes the error of calling the track 'Infusion', 'Infustion'.
