Subject: Mass Effect Theme - The First Draft

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

Something I just thought you would all find interesting, if you had not seen it already that is. This video comes from Sam Hulick's YouTube page. He is one of the composers for the series and has a few videos of covers he has done, alternate versions of songs, and themes that were never used. It's pretty cool. Anyway, without further adieu, I give you the original Mass Effect Theme.

I've been playing Halo since 2002. My earliest memories include hiding at the shotgun window on Damnation and killing my dad with grenades while playing co-op on Pillar of Autumn.

>Babby's first RPG

I can't take someone who plays this game seriously.
Anyway, the theme is average at best.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Yeah I like the final release more.

That is pretty interesting. He really did a great job with the Mass Effect sound track later on, it was great.

Well yeah, this one is very pirate like. Very pirate like indeed.

My troll sense is tingling.

Although it really fits the style of Mass Effect 1, I'm glad they went for what became the actual theme. That an- Oh God, I just reached the minute mark. I can see why it was dropped now.

I find it weird that they used different composers for the Mass Effect series. Still the score for each were good.

Well Hulick was around for all 3. Having a team on the soundtrack gives you variation, more chances to get more good tracks for the game. It apparently works, because the music is always phenomenal.

It is funny. People hate Bioware yet they shell out -blam!- loads of money for their games. I think it is because EA are their publishers now. Ending was poop but I still love the series. I find it funny that there was so much blacklash for the ending people went out of their ways to try and change it and form a weird thing out of it. It shows that people don't like it when a story is not what they expected it to be and gets mad over it. It sounds almost like the blacklash from Star wars 1-3.

I remember before the release the fans were getting mad that shepard could be the opposite of a hetero-blam!-. Makes me wonder how mature these people are. Well, obviously not.

Almost sounds like some of the music in SWTOR.
