Haha, another unforgettable soundtrack. That one should be on the main menu of every Mass Effect game. Tbh I hope they use at least one of these tracks in Andromeda!
@@ragmority it "killed" the whole franchise when people who refused to play the game only refused on the grounds that: A, it was made by EA B, it didnt continue the Shepard story C, it didnt confirm a canon ending to ME3 People who hate things are the loudest online and most times they dont even have a clue about the thing they hate. The MEA haters were folk who jumped on the bandwagon claiming it was bad, when asked for reasons, they'd use the typical "too buggy" / "my face is tired" / "ugly female characters" / "boring crewmates" that they've seen written around the internet. I have to say though that those bugs have always existed in the mass effect trilogy, people do say "my face is tired", the female characters where better looking than the weird potato heads from ME1-3, and Mass Effect 1 had the most boring crew! It wasnt until ME2 that you began to miss them, you missed Ashley being racist, you missed Kaidan's grating voice, Liara being dull. The only actual decent crew were Wrex, Garrus and Tali, but it wasnt until ME2 I even liked Garrus and Tali. Then again, BioWare knew they were boring, thats why they changed them out for the sequel. MEA's story was awesome, the scenery was great, the Ryders were kinda cool, the ship was cooler than the Normandy (yeah, I said it). I didnt like the Angarans though, and we could've done with more aliens. Still, bloody feckers who never even played the game got any further Andromeda cancelled. If you're still reading this, I doubt you are, BioWare and Casey Hudson have said they'll be coming back to Mass Effect in the future. How much are you betting if it doesnt have Shepard in it, it's going to get the same amount of hate?
This song legitimately chsnged how I look at everything. This is always playing in my head when I fly in airplanes, stare into the sky, or even ride my motorcycle. I'll hear this in my dreams and my head even when I turn into an old man.
Oh damn, clicked the video, start to listening this after 8 years, tears come to my eyes. You can't imagine how deep the memories touched my soul. The best game ever.
I'm training to become a pilot. I am going to start playing this whenever I am planning a flight with all the maps and charts. Our world may be mapped but until I have been there, its an uncharted world to me!
@@Ender11037 For now all entry exam's got delayed because of the corona virus. To be honest I don't have much hope anymore, because of the state that the aviation industry is right now in. I'll still do my best and hope that, in the meantime, things will calm down a little. If any other pilot or future pilot has any more information, it would be nice if you could share it here (:
I missed "The Commanding officer is ashore, XO Pressly has the deck" from the frist game. And when they return, the VI used to say "Welcome, shore party."
This soundtrack .... just brings me joy. There was a dream that was Mass Effect. A galaxy to explore anew, full of the most amazing skyboxes, and filled with Krogan Mercs, Thresher Maws, Geth Armatures and all other sorts of dangers. Very few games capture that feeling where you are tiny and the planets you explore are huge. Never mind getting lost on the Citadel looking for random Keepers....
I just really loved the Hell out of the first Mass Effect. Still feels like one of the few games that had originally put a lot of effort into their world development. I remember telling my best friend, who was the one who let me first try it out, that it was like watching a movie - But having a say in how the story unfolded. I miss this type of creativity and ingenuity from developers and really wish that BioWare hadn't gone the way of so many other companies. But I will always be thankful for them, for giving me my journey through the Mass Effect universe.
What happened was Bioware actually gained control of the IP Mass Effect was good because it still had all of the Bioware old guard working at it but Bioware's monumentally SHIT upper echelon didn't get much say Microsoft Game Studios worked very close with Casey Hudson and that's why it was so extraordinary, should have never let EA buy it
@@Gunnerblaster that's the hilarious part though! For the most part they let dev studios do whatever they want, sure there's the problem of them putting a sales threshold on a product but past that the devs are outright sinking themselves because apparently they're really bad at making decisions on their own
I love this game more than i can describe. This game helped me through a horrible depression. I couldnt feel any kind off happines or joy at the time, but this game just made my days bearable. I really felt as i was in the mass effect universe as commander shepard and not me. Thank goodness for this game
This is like home to me. I'd spend hours in the map just so I could listen to this. Scanning planets, finding the planet that had the highest gravitational pull, findimg the planet that had the closest rotational time that earth does, finding which planet had a similar atmospheric density, so many things. At least 100 hours of the time I spent on the mass effect trilogy was spent in the map. At least.
I just finished ME remastered. Took me a year to do it, but really was a wild ride. I never got the chance to play all the dlcs upon release and being able to actually play the whole game in it's entirety was so beautiful. This game is really a masterpiece and the music is a huge part of that. It's not easy to make a theme that can loop endlessly and never get dull or annoying, but this song could literally play in my head for the rest of my life and it wouldn't bother me. In fact, it would make me feel nostalgic, happy, peaceful, and fills me with a sense of wonder.
@Char Aznable Yeah, ME3 did not nearly have as much choices as the other 3 games. Mass Effect 1 is my favorite still, but I still love ME2 due to the companion focus, and the meaningful choices. The world-building wasn't as good but the hub worlds were awesome. Illium, and Omega were really cool.
@Char Aznable I really like ME3 due to a few meaningful moments, but it was less of an rpg, and more of an action-story game. A little annoying, but I still enjoyed the game but it just didn't feel the same I agree.
The mass effect world and characters are unreal, but when you add the likes of this and vigil to the soundtrack it truly is iconic. By far and wide the best games i’ve ever played.
This is so beautiful, I usually listen to this late at night and just close my eyes and realise how huge the universe is and how most likely there is life out there that we don’t know of but they also don’t know of us. It’s all just so beautiful...
i need to be frozen for 140 years and wake up in Mass Effect times. 30 years pre-Reaper of course. just imagine soaring though the stars finding new things. gets me so excited
@@MrMichealHouse yeah, but probably in Mass Effect Humans are genetically superior to now, it stated that they can live like 150 years thanks to medicine, part of them are genetically engineered (think of Miranda) and are quite tall (probably Humans average height in ME is 180 cm or more), then Human ethnics are mostly mixed, in ME is said that recessive features are pretty rare (blue eyes, red hairs and exc..), so they are a bit different from us and most importantly probably superior.
@@silverskull7669 Having an average height of 5.9 feet and no blue eyes or red hair makes them "genetically superior"? They still have the same brains (well except for the biotics but that's only a small fraction of all humans), you'd do just fine once you adapted to all the insane technology.
@@GreatEmerald the description says this isn't looped but extended. How does one extend a track without looping it? He had to record the track from in-game.
@@anewman No, you can extract the files from the game pretty easily using modding tools. There are also music files that are unused or that were used for cutscenes. Then it's just a matter of blending them together with audio editing software.
@@ListenerDB Wasn't that true for our early explorers and won't it probably hold true for the ones destined to map out the stars? Not knowing whether you'll find an empty ocean, a new species of fish, undiscovered ruins or just coast to oblivion on your last breath of O2 is kind of the appeal after all.
Played Mass Effect for the first time in 2017. Replayed the whole trilogy 3 consecutive times (started a fourth, but you know... life). This was the only track I listened to the whole month, both on my PC and on my phone. Can't say I regret it. Great work Zepheros!
There is just something so relaxing about this simple tune. I wish I could find similar stuff with the same relaxing tune with a bit of that techno/futuristic theme. Its one of the addictive reasons I simply can't ever get enough of the ME trilogy. 7 playthroughs and Im already eager for an 8th.
i've been listening to this since you posted it. it's gotten me through countless assignments, through unpaid overtime, through my undergrad and master's thesis and now today i still listen to this when i need to focus! the one-hour version is my favorite because it reminds me to take water, food, and bathroom breaks. i know its the right one because of your caption: "not looped, because that is lame." thank you so much zepheros, this video has meant so much more to me than i will ever be able to express
The sort of nostalgia I feel whenever I hear this is just amazing. There's just something I love about Bioware's unique sci-fi universe (or at least, how it used to be).
yes I agree, companies that were once so well respected 20 years ago (namely Bethesda, Blizzard & Bioware), are all now but a shadow of their former selves.
I like to fantasize that a future like mass effect is not that far from us, this music puts images in my head like space travel, discovering new frontiers, races completely different from eachother somehow finding a way to coexist in planets and huge citadel like space stations with despite their differences, a classroom filled with children of different races in class called "Space History" while the teacher shows a hologram of earth and tells the origins of the human race... this music really jimmies my rustles
Here is what happened. The developers composed this first and realized it was awesome for coding. So they learned to code, put on this theme, and then they wrote the entire Mass Effect series. This is how one beautiful creation can change the world. Make something beautiful today.
This brings back the wonder of space travel that I had when I was a child: an endless universe full of possibilities. Who knows what we can accomplish with time and learning.
So Spotify recommended me this song in my Halo playlist and being a huge Halo fan I never played Mass effect. But I’ve always heard people compare the two. After hearing this beautiful song I think I should play it now.
Listening to this a few days after we found biosignatures on the atmosphere of Venus makes me wonder about life, and how many ways it can manifest in our universe. I'm quite sure that there is intelligent life somewhere in our galaxy, and damn i wished to live long enough to see the first contact, if thats possible, considering the mind boggling distances of space. We gotta find that damn protean artifact on Mars already
Don't forget about the Radio Signal recorded by the SETI originating from Proxima Centauri. It's frequency is something we have never heard from natural cosmic causes. The only place we found a simliar frequency is planet earth and the technology we use.
I absolutely hate to say this, but I was unimpressed with Mass Effect's soundtrack at first. But then. . . I accessed the galaxy map for the first time. This track came on and I was spellbound by the sheer size and beauty of the universe. All of the planets, each with their own little blurb and history. Stars and nebulas illuminated before me. This track inspired wonder beyond anything else I've ever experienced in a game before. For that, I must congratulate it.
Not only is this the best track in the entire ME franchise but it is also some great thinking music! If ever I need to concentrate on something or think things through....this music is the key!
ForceSensitive Guy turned the franchise from space faring rpg to action blockbuster cover shooter rpg Added micro transactions. Generic horde mode when that was trendy. Etc
Something occurred to me, as I was searching the systems and looking at the planets while searching for clues to track Saren down: I could survey planets. Doing so didn't seem to give me any obvious mechanical advantage, and it seemed like I was only doing it for the sake of completionism. But, putting aside a gamer mentality and considering why I would do this within the role of Shepherd, I realized: the core, the heart of the role is exploration.I would survey a planet carrying a natural resource and report back to my authorities, I would discover microscopic bacteria in an otherwise desolate world and witness the birth of life that may well take the mantle of galactic civilization millennia after our extinction, I would witness life, and thriving worlds, as well as the struggles of less-fortunate pioneers, all in defiance of the hostility to life that space and the universe challenges us with. What was once a mechanic of mundanity became a curiosity. Curiosity, that spark that lights a fire of life where there is none, is truly and utterly personified, here.
And to think that the possibility of your comment might not come about with the state of the world that exists now and has existed since the dawn of the nuclear arms race, the start of the modern "us vs. them" conflict, whether in a physical form or ideological one. One day we need to realize that the here-and-now is not the primary era of humanity's mark in our existence, but just the start. Get our affairs in order, heal our planet, and work together--regardless of race, creed, political ideology, or any such cosmically miniscule nonsense.... to fix humanity. Then we may see the universe and her bounties for what they ar, what they offer us and potentially others. Through scientific exploration and good old-fashioned human curiosity & tenacity may we expand ourselves for the good of all that live now, in the future, and may even live elsewhere. And boink green (or blue) alien space babes/hunks. Oh come on, like you wouldn't.
When I play Mass Effect (1&2), I go to every planet and extract every resource. I do every mission, every UNC quest - all of it. I even make sure to go and pet the shifty looking cow. I do it because I love the era that the original game is set in. The worlds we visit look so amazing, and I feel small looking out at the greater cosmos. How cool would it be to be out there on an alien world and hear the crunch of soil through your suit? Some of the binary star systems we go to in ME1 are breathtakingly beautiful (not to mention hazard condition 1 or 2). Space exploration was done right in Mass Effect - it is both lovely and dangerous. Discovering Sovereign and the Reapers was the cherry on top that threw the whole experience over the moon, so to speak.
tonycmac its called playing the game. people that rush through the game and dont do anything but story and then complain that its a short game or the story isnt as in depth. well no wonder you skipped everything else
I listen to this every night before going to sleep. I just picture myself traveling throughout the stars as if I was Shepard. So many memories from this trilogy and listening to this theme is definitely one of them. Have a great day to all my fellow N7’s out there.
Look up Gaming Ambience on you-tube - you might add a few to your sleep regime. Most of my choices are ME1 related, but there is a lot of high quality sound cuts to be found there.
Whenever I hear this, I’m so sure that I had another life living just the way Mass Effect depicts things are. I just know it. There’s a veil that’s being pulled over our eyes and I know regardless of that veil that I’m an old soul and have done things that we, should the veil ever be lifted again, would think are absolutely incredible.
Well okay, it's been 11 years since exploring the Milky Way for the first time, but WOW did I just get pummeled by the nostalgia-club! Scanning across the map, the blue-ish tones, the unmistakable sound, EDIs messages... Great times!
Damn, all the memories rushing back every damned time I hear these gorgeous sounds... It's like - please, take me there, show me the stars, tell me the stories. Please.
The Nostalgia wow... I can close my eyes and remember hearing this song for the very first time as I looked at that map inside the Normandy, staring at all the star systems and nebulas across the galaxy on that giant map, realizing how tiny and insignificant we are. The wonder, the awe, all of it comes flooding back into me when I hear this...
ditto - its the only alarm i never get tired of hearing and never get rudely awoken by, though sometimes i can sleep through it if I'm not feeling particularly disciplined >.>
"Launching probe." "I found something." ANOMALY DETECTED. HELL YEA!!!!! Let's go Tali!! Let's go check it out Garrus!! Grunt, you stay. Jack, please.Take care of the crew Mordin! I'll be back!
Andromeda doesn't have nearly as memorable situation or location as the trilogy. Kadara was the only partially mass effect location, and even that couldn't make for an interesting location like omega from the trilogy. Just an all around shittier game. A shame.
It doesn't feel like Mass Effect because - if I'm not mistaken - literally the entire musical lead for the Mass Effect series didn't return for that title. The game's lead designer specifically made that call to distance Andromeda from the other entries - he wanted it to have it's own feeling and flare, that's why Sam Hulick (the composer for this track) and Jack Wall (the overall soundtrack lead) were not invited back.
I'm with you on that! Me 1 and 2 are the standards of excellence. I wish that games today were as good as the Mass Effect Galaxy before BioWare ruined it with ME3.
This is just amazing. It brings back so many memories of the best game trilogy ever made in my opinion. It all just comes together in a perfect way, and this soundtrack proves exactly that.
oh the feelz....i literally LIVED in these games. so many hours. i feel like i could walk around the citadel with my eyes closed irl. still holding out for my asari wifu to show up one day...lol thank you for making this. it is THE soundtrack of ME imo..
Never have I ever felt a more solid connection with a game series than with Mass Effect. The new game, Andromeda is different, but I respect it as I do the original trilogy...it's another chance to have an adventure...another chance to head out there with my friends and kick some ass...It's another chance to discover...some Uncharted Worlds...
@@mivapusa It's a spin off and from the beginning they said it won't be very connected to the trilogy? What else do you want? It's still the same universe, which is absolutely fine to use for other games too.

@@silverskull7669 Having an average height of 5.9 feet and no blue eyes or red hair makes them "genetically superior"? They still have the same brains (well except for the biotics but that's only a small fraction of all humans), you'd do just fine once you adapted to all the insane technology.
FFUUUAARRKK I get tears in my eyes! This song is literally sending me back in time when I was playing this game exploring the galaxy.
Best one hour mix of this song ever. You haven't just took the song and copy/paste, you really worked to make it like in the game. It's perfect.
Actually, the in-game version doesn't loop like that. There's a very clear stop and restart point, so this is much better!
...or he maybe just recorded it while having the galaxy map open for one hour in the game...
Again, no, in-game this track does not loop seamlessly.
@@GreatEmerald the description says this isn't looped but extended. How does one extend a track without looping it? He had to record the track from in-game.
@@anewman No, you can extract the files from the game pretty easily using modding tools. There are also music files that are unused or that were used for cutscenes. Then it's just a matter of blending them together with audio editing software.
How does that quote I once read go? Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the universe :(
yeah, stay home in quarantine.
Not true. The deepest parts of our oceans still remain unexplored.
Dumbledoresarmy13 thats cause most people who try to explore them die
@@ListenerDB Wasn't that true for our early explorers and won't it probably hold true for the ones destined to map out the stars?
Not knowing whether you'll find an empty ocean, a new species of fish, undiscovered ruins or just coast to oblivion on your last breath of O2 is kind of the appeal after all.
Born just in time for D A N K M E M E S
I never really thought about it, but this song IS Mass Effect, that feeling of mystery and pressure is encapsulated so well in this.
Played Mass Effect for the first time in 2017.
Replayed the whole trilogy 3 consecutive times (started a fourth, but you know... life).
This was the only track I listened to the whole month, both on my PC and on my phone.
Can't say I regret it.
Great work Zepheros!
Always great to see new fans! the ME trilogy is very special
Doctor: you have 1 hour to live
Me: *starts this track*
Doctor: but it's 12 seconds longer
God: that's fine
Gang💯💯💯
"I'll allow it."
There is just something so relaxing about this simple tune. I wish I could find similar stuff with the same relaxing tune with a bit of that techno/futuristic theme. Its one of the addictive reasons I simply can't ever get enough of the ME trilogy. 7 playthroughs and Im already eager for an 8th.
Rookie numbers. Keep playing!
i remember i was leaving the game in idle mode playing this song while i was relaxing on my couch between game sessions. 10/10
i've been listening to this since you posted it. it's gotten me through countless assignments, through unpaid overtime, through my undergrad and master's thesis and now today i still listen to this when i need to focus! the one-hour version is my favorite because it reminds me to take water, food, and bathroom breaks. i know its the right one because of your caption: "not looped, because that is lame." thank you so much zepheros, this video has meant so much more to me than i will ever be able to express
The sort of nostalgia I feel whenever I hear this is just amazing. There's just something I love about Bioware's unique sci-fi universe (or at least, how it used to be).
How it used to be.
Andromeda is fan fiction
@@thewanderingartists Alternate timeline/ different canon. Which ever floats your boat.
yes I agree, companies that were once so well respected 20 years ago (namely Bethesda, Blizzard & Bioware), are all now but a shadow of their former selves.
How it used be
I like to fantasize that a future like mass effect is not that far from us, this music puts images in my head like space travel, discovering new frontiers, races completely different from eachother somehow finding a way to coexist in planets and huge citadel like space stations with despite their differences, a classroom filled with children of different races in class called "Space History" while the teacher shows a hologram of earth and tells the origins of the human race... this music really jimmies my rustles
If only we could live to see that future..
That aint how the future gonna be. it all goes down in the Astral
Nothing like playing Mass Effect until the wee hours of the morning and falling asleep to this track.
There's just something about this game in the late hours
What, it's already over?
...
Never thought i would be using an auto replay plugin with 1 hour long video...
I had so much fun exploring those worlds in the mako and reading about each of the planets in all the systems. One of my favorite games of all time.
me too i was so excited discovering new planets
I sleep to this every night. Can’t think of a better theme for our beloved Mass Effect.
Here is what happened. The developers composed this first and realized it was awesome for coding. So they learned to code, put on this theme, and then they wrote the entire Mass Effect series. This is how one beautiful creation can change the world. Make something beautiful today.
This brings back the wonder of space travel that I had when I was a child: an endless universe full of possibilities. Who knows what we can accomplish with time and learning.
So Spotify recommended me this song in my Halo playlist and being a huge Halo fan I never played Mass effect. But I’ve always heard people compare the two. After hearing this beautiful song I think I should play it now.
Halo and Mass Effect are both equally beautiful in their own rights
Listening to this a few days after we found biosignatures on the atmosphere of Venus makes me wonder about life, and how many ways it can manifest in our universe. I'm quite sure that there is intelligent life somewhere in our galaxy, and damn i wished to live long enough to see the first contact, if thats possible, considering the mind boggling distances of space.
We gotta find that damn protean artifact on Mars already
;-; eu também
I just found a mass relay in my toilet
And if we find any hostile aliens, we just threaten them by saying we'll rain the entirety of the year 2020 on them.
Don't forget about the Radio Signal recorded by the SETI originating from Proxima Centauri. It's frequency is something we have never heard from natural cosmic causes. The only place we found a simliar frequency is planet earth and the technology we use.
@@TheCaptnJakk ummm about that..... People sort of realized that may have been Voyager.....
I absolutely hate to say this, but I was unimpressed with Mass Effect's soundtrack at first. But then. . . I accessed the galaxy map for the first time. This track came on and I was spellbound by the sheer size and beauty of the universe. All of the planets, each with their own little blurb and history. Stars and nebulas illuminated before me. This track inspired wonder beyond anything else I've ever experienced in a game before. For that, I must congratulate it.
For me it was this theme, citadel theme and vigil.I admit the main theme is good but sounds a bit basic and cliche in a way
This platform approves of this theme.
Not only is this the best track in the entire ME franchise but it is also some great thinking music! If ever I need to concentrate on something or think things through....this music is the key!
Everytime I listen to this, I cry tears for Bioware.
I know, one day, Ea will pay for their crimes and sins, with no tears and a lot of bloodshed.
Lot of bloodshed? Jaysus Murphy, I’m pissed that Mass Effect is dead too but we are talking about video games here, not frontier justice.
@@SirCheezersIII seriously?
EA will pay and we will never get the trilogy that might have been.
What did EA do? (I've never played this game, just vibing to the music)
ForceSensitive Guy turned the franchise from space faring rpg to action blockbuster cover shooter rpg
Added micro transactions. Generic horde mode when that was trendy. Etc
This song gives me hope for the future!!
Me too!!!!
@@Spartan592 ohhhh if only you'd known then
Something occurred to me, as I was searching the systems and looking at the planets while searching for clues to track Saren down: I could survey planets. Doing so didn't seem to give me any obvious mechanical advantage, and it seemed like I was only doing it for the sake of completionism. But, putting aside a gamer mentality and considering why I would do this within the role of Shepherd, I realized: the core, the heart of the role is exploration.I would survey a planet carrying a natural resource and report back to my authorities, I would discover microscopic bacteria in an otherwise desolate world and witness the birth of life that may well take the mantle of galactic civilization millennia after our extinction, I would witness life, and thriving worlds, as well as the struggles of less-fortunate pioneers, all in defiance of the hostility to life that space and the universe challenges us with.
What was once a mechanic of mundanity became a curiosity. Curiosity, that spark that lights a fire of life where there is none, is truly and utterly personified, here.
And to think that the possibility of your comment might not come about with the state of the world that exists now and has existed since the dawn of the nuclear arms race, the start of the modern "us vs. them" conflict, whether in a physical form or ideological one. One day we need to realize that the here-and-now is not the primary era of humanity's mark in our existence, but just the start. Get our affairs in order, heal our planet, and work together--regardless of race, creed, political ideology, or any such cosmically miniscule nonsense.... to fix humanity. Then we may see the universe and her bounties for what they ar, what they offer us and potentially others. Through scientific exploration and good old-fashioned human curiosity & tenacity may we expand ourselves for the good of all that live now, in the future, and may even live elsewhere.
And boink green (or blue) alien space babes/hunks. Oh come on, like you wouldn't.
When I play Mass Effect (1&2), I go to every planet and extract every resource. I do every mission, every UNC quest - all of it. I even make sure to go and pet the shifty looking cow. I do it because I love the era that the original game is set in. The worlds we visit look so amazing, and I feel small looking out at the greater cosmos. How cool would it be to be out there on an alien world and hear the crunch of soil through your suit? Some of the binary star systems we go to in ME1 are breathtakingly beautiful (not to mention hazard condition 1 or 2). Space exploration was done right in Mass Effect - it is both lovely and dangerous. Discovering Sovereign and the Reapers was the cherry on top that threw the whole experience over the moon, so to speak.
tonycmac its called playing the game. people that rush through the game and dont do anything but story and then complain that its a short game or the story isnt as in depth. well no wonder you skipped everything else
The greatest sci fi thing ever.
I thought so too until I played and read the lore of Twilight Imperium
I listen to this every night before going to sleep. I just picture myself traveling throughout the stars as if I was Shepard. So many memories from this trilogy and listening to this theme is definitely one of them. Have a great day to all my fellow N7’s out there.
Look up Gaming Ambience on you-tube - you might add a few to your sleep regime. Most of my choices are ME1 related, but there is a lot of high quality sound cuts to be found there.
tonycmac Thanks for the suggestion.
I can't say how much I love this. This game is easy in my top 5 and the music takes me back....
Whenever I hear this, I’m so sure that I had another life living just the way Mass Effect depicts things are. I just know it. There’s a veil that’s being pulled over our eyes and I know regardless of that veil that I’m an old soul and have done things that we, should the veil ever be lifted again, would think are absolutely incredible.
Well okay, it's been 11 years since exploring the Milky Way for the first time, but WOW did I just get pummeled by the nostalgia-club! Scanning across the map, the blue-ish tones, the unmistakable sound, EDIs messages... Great times!
Damn, all the memories rushing back every damned time I hear these gorgeous sounds... It's like - please, take me there, show me the stars, tell me the stories. Please.
I miss this franchise so goddamn much...
Cyberpunk looks really good and there are rumors of a ME remaster.
Edit: Sounds like it is official now along with a new ME in development.
Not for long, ME4 on the way
you da best for not just looping it, very creative
The Nostalgia wow... I can close my eyes and remember hearing this song for the very first time as I looked at that map inside the Normandy, staring at all the star systems and nebulas across the galaxy on that giant map, realizing how tiny and insignificant we are. The wonder, the awe, all of it comes flooding back into me when I hear this...
Why does it make me sad?
Because the game, having been played through, no longer feels as if the characters are real, and that hurts.
Because it's too short.... Love this "song"! Screwing around on instagram had this on repeat for like 2hrs - time flew by
Memories.
For me, it's because I'm instantly transported into space, and space is beautiful. The Earth is especially beautiful, and that makes me cry.
It happens to me the opposite to me this song inspires me a lot
I need a 100 year long version of this song.
Alright.
*Redownloads the trilogy*
I never uninstalled it in the first place.
This is one of the greatest video game songs ever made
I feel like I'm staring at a 3D map of our entire galaxy. Truly magnificent.
I'm using this as my wake-up alarm. Another day to explore.
ditto - its the only alarm i never get tired of hearing and never get rudely awoken by, though sometimes i can sleep through it if I'm not feeling particularly disciplined >.>
ugh. every time i try to forget mass effect existed to dull the pain that nothing has ever been as good
Play ME1 and 2, skip 3 except for the multiplayer.
"Launching probe."
"I found something."
ANOMALY DETECTED.
HELL YEA!!!!! Let's go Tali!! Let's go check it out Garrus!! Grunt, you stay. Jack, please.Take care of the crew Mordin! I'll be back!
"Probing Uranus" :)
The music is what makes the game special. After playing Andromeda. Doesn't feel like any ME game to me. I hope we get a ME 1 and 2 remastered.
Andromeda doesn't have nearly as memorable situation or location as the trilogy. Kadara was the only partially mass effect location, and even that couldn't make for an interesting location like omega from the trilogy. Just an all around shittier game. A shame.
It doesn't feel like Mass Effect because - if I'm not mistaken - literally the entire musical lead for the Mass Effect series didn't return for that title.
The game's lead designer specifically made that call to distance Andromeda from the other entries - he wanted it to have it's own feeling and flare, that's why Sam Hulick (the composer for this track) and Jack Wall (the overall soundtrack lead) were not invited back.
I'm with you on that! Me 1 and 2 are the standards of excellence. I wish that games today were as good as the Mass Effect Galaxy before BioWare ruined it with ME3.
ME3 as well. Awesome game until the end... It's never too late to fix it in my book, and it wouldn't take much new content...
the need to remake the entire trilogy. they'd make so much fucking money.
To quote another classic sci-fi series (quoting a classic novel) when asked "Where to Captain?"
"Second star to the right... and on till morning...."
This is just amazing. It brings back so many memories of the best game trilogy ever made in my opinion. It all just comes together in a perfect way, and this soundtrack proves exactly that.
This music makes me wanna explore all the secrets of the universe !!
Ive listened to this for a year now almost every time I study. Thank you very focusing and makes studying more fun and enchanted
This song makes me want to stare at the galaxy map, hand propping up my chin, pondering which system to travel to next.
literally in that pose as I read this comment lol
This, Normandy SR1 theme, and Vigil are the holy trinity of Mass Effect OST.
oh the feelz....i literally LIVED in these games. so many hours. i feel like i could walk around the citadel with my eyes closed irl. still holding out for my asari wifu to show up one day...lol thank you for making this. it is THE soundtrack of ME imo..
Agreed, the ME Trilogy is my favourite game series of all time honestly
Less than three weeks until that Remastered Trilogy hits and I'm so pumped.
I'm listening this on a daily basis and I am looking forward to the remastered trilogy. :) Thank You for this awesome job. :)
Is it just me or does this song have real depth and distance? It is almost if it makes me look up into space and wonder.
You and everyone else my friend. It truly is a magnificent piece of art.
Incoming message, Commander. Putting it through.
Never have I ever felt a more solid connection with a game series than with Mass Effect. The new game, Andromeda is different, but I respect it as I do the original trilogy...it's another chance to have an adventure...another chance to head out there with my friends and kick some ass...It's another chance to discover...some Uncharted Worlds...
I remember playing this on the xbox 360. The CD cover art still has that PG 16 logo XD. This music just felt so welcoming to me.
After playing the Mass Effect games I will forever be salty about not living in the Mass Effect universe.
LMFAO same T-T
This is the song I use whenever I am doing in-depth research or any kind of strenuous work, especially Math...
Does it include probing?
Very clever.
Love this whilst making some school work, thanks for making this!
I used to play this game when I was bored and I was amazed by song. I am receiving nostalgia from listening to it once again.
If the Milky Way has music, this would be its theme
There’s something so purely fascinating and beautiful about this piece of exploratory wonder
Thanks for this, i needed something to relax to after work today. Found this, and fell asleep :D
Thanks. This is now my favorite music when I'm out exploring in Elite Dangerous.
There are ME,ME2 and ME3
Nothing more, nothing less.
Couldn’t agree more.
Such BS. Andromeda is still good, yall just on the hatetrain for internet points.
@@Gremlyne Yes, but Andromeda has nothing to do with the Mass Effect games. As a standalone game, it probably is fine.
@@mivapusa It's a spin off and from the beginning they said it won't be very connected to the trilogy? What else do you want? It's still the same universe, which is absolutely fine to use for other games too.
Wow, the memories this brings back. So simple, yet so brilliant.
If this doesn't play on our first interstellar expedition. We are not going.
Best Mass Effect Uncharted Worlds Loop track on RUclips. Period.
