i cant help myself.. i get sad by the thought that someday, in X hundred years, there will be nightclub on an asteroid playing songs like this, while aliens dance on poles and some jerky human gets his first experience with alien booze that he cant handle and that guy, WONT be me because iam dust by that point...
This song was actually also in Need For Speed High Stakes years before being in ME2 also. When I first played ME2 I recognized it and was so happy and surprised because it was my favorite song in the NFS4 soundtrack as well.
REST IN PEACE SAKI. Your music helped define my childhood, you inspired me to become a music producer, and your music STILL continues to inspire me 18 years after having first heard it. FOREVER an Inspiration.
The music and ambiance in ME3 clubs are vastly inferior! Nothing compares to the Afterlife. The Citadel is for wannabees and weaklings. Besides, bar brawls are much more entertaining on Omega!
Agreed. They should have instead made a game inside the ME world and timespan, but that has nothing to do with Shepard and the Reapers. Why not making a game entirely about gang wars on Omega? I would like to be able to play something like a high tech mercenary on Omega and having the choice of joining different factions. It could be fun to play a grumpy and disillusioned turian mercenary or something like that. You really don't need to go in another galaxy to find something awesome to do in the ME world.
This and the galaxy map music is perfect for doing any long-term event. Incredibly appropriate for the game, as well. I couldn't imagine this song anywhere but Afterlife. ME2 may have scaled back the RPG nature of the trilogy, but I think it's easily the best. If only places like Ilium were real.
Dunno...galaxy map gets repetitve too quickly for me...maybe its because of how frequently i have to deal with it, due to constant flights from one location to another, so i develop fatigue too quickly...This on another! I dunno what is the reason, but i can't get tired of this! It gets literally stuck in my head for hours even after i stop playing it! It plays in my head for hours and stays there! Lol With galaxy map its not the case...its more repetitve and annoying to me...
me too, help me a lot to get in the mood for coding, if you have any suggestions please let me know, and if you never heard: try Velocity 2x soundtrack, thank me later
+ Raul Barros Oakenfold is pretty awesome for coding in my opinion. Especially if you're into this kind of sound. I like the album/mix called Tranceport. It's amazing and I'm not really even a fan of trance music :D
I have a bar in my tiny house that is themed after this place and named afterlife. Whenever I'm serving guests I put on this song to start off the mix and always get complements from nerds and non nerds alike
RIP Saki Kaskas - Just found out today you died, absolutely gutted! Someone wrote in the Kotaku comments - "This track for Omega defined the whole game for me. Walking into Afterlife as this beat filled the air, overwhelmed with the visuals and atmosphere... it elevated an already great game to legendary status, and the music played no small part." - Perfectly put, your music will live on far longer than any of us.
@oliveira patrick If you haven't played it, you should bro. The ME Trilogy was one of the best ever made. Btw, the trilogy remaster is probably scheduled to release in October. Try it, and quite honestly there are few games if any that would compare
Помню раньше заходил в клуб, и просто занимался домашними делами под эту музыку. Придавало свой антураж. Ещё стриптиз мог долго смотреть, как и в живую смлотреть хожу впринципе
Just started playing ME2 for the 1st time. It looks beyond its 7 year age in 4k. Already loving the soundtrack. This scene in Afterlife is off the scale. I can't help but imagine dropping a few pills in this club and zoning out. Fire, sexy dancers,lots o visuals and aliens with guns. Possible paranoia on the horizon but ultimately a fantastic night out.
I hear Callista since Need for Speed: High Stakes (1999), but when i enter Afterlife i totally stop fo a while because i cannot believe it, was a such rush of emotions and fond gaming memories, then i walked slowly, appreciating every detail, every animation, the whole ambient, then saying for myself 'Callista is in the right place now and forever. Thank you Saki Kaskas, your tune has been my companion in many moments in my life, sometimes to inspire, sometimes to concentrate, sometimes to close my eyes and joy, rest in peace my friend.
herrlich, nach all den Jahren fällt mir schlagartig wieder ein, weshalb ich den Teil so liebe. Ich hatte mich damals oft in den Club gestellt und die Mucke im Hintergrund laufen lassen :D
Literally come here and play this anytime I just need to focus and get in a productive groove and get something done. Brilliant track from an amazing game.
I only played only a few of the older Need for Speed and I'm not sure if it included High Stakes, but people must have had a hard time leaving the garage and actually playing the game... This song is so awesome!
hmmm ruclips.net/video/-lUyvO3_WgE/видео.html did anything similar appear in nfs 5? (never played 4 but the track felt a tad familiar nonetheless somehow). Also the party soundtracks in citadel featured a good number of tracks from Undercover (not the world's best nfs, but eh I enjoyed it quite a bit).
As a concept, Afterlife would likely be an amazing nightclub irl, expanded for more private rooms, ofc. If not the main floor, the private rooms could have this as the default bgm :D
The legendary edition of Mass Effect cam out! It has all 3 on one disc and all DLC for PS4, Xbox one, and PC. It is worth it, if you love the series and you get a lot of playing hours for your money.
When the game came out I coul play it well, even I didn' finished and i Just wachted how my father played it :( but I could play it well 2 years ago :) Altohugh, I have to say that the first one is better in some aspects.
Great song, and nostalgic for two great games. Interesting that this version seems to feature ME2 Samara's theme at 0:09, and NFS High Stakes menu sound effects at 1:09.
for some reason this reminds me of "Vessel of Sin" from Metro games, although the vibe is different. Perhaps it's not about music alone, but the atmosphere and how it catches you off guard on a mission. Lets you relax and you don't want to continue anymore, just chill and keep listerning to the music.
Close your eyes. Imagine your first visit to the Omega. Imagine walking through this dark corridor with red neon lights and the doors opening in front of you at the end. ...Yes! Beauty! As if I was there for the first time! How I want to play like the first time! if I could ... eh ... I'll go play again!

If I ever own a night club it will be called Afterlife and when this song plays it will be happy hour. Half priced everything.
How about the Purgatory one from ME 3? I could rave to that!
So can I get 2 beers in price of one? Cool :)
Careful theres a Batarian with a stick up his ass, he wil ltry to posion you
If i ever own a lounge i'll call it Eternity. Can we partner up buddy? Man Afterlife and Eternity at one place, the dream
and Hive from Deus Ex
Shepard: Do you run Omega?
Aria: I AM OMEGA
Aria was a truly ruthless chick but shes my ruthless chick and anyone hurts her hurts me
@@Megatron-ok5gy And there's only one rule on omega.
Don’t fuck with aria
Now having watched DBZA, this gives me "Do you actually believe your own hype?" "I AM THE HYPE"

dharkbizkit you're not even dust man. By that time you would have already dissipated into nothingness.
Could be your ancestor tho (:
Brandon Lujan you mean descendant..
dharkbizkit Right in the feels.
nomad space and time are constructs of the human mind. Whose to say that a world like this isn't already out there and was here long before Earth was
Still one of my most memorable moments in game, stepping into that club for the first time.
I knew then, I'd fallen in love with Mass Effect forever.
Hell yeah man
I was just coming in for information on an old friend and now I can't stop playing!
Oh my god the atmosphere was incredible. I'm as jaded a millennial gamer as you can get, and that moment really blew me away.
Same
For a nightclub on the frontier its damned impressive!
RIP Saki Kaskas. Thanks for the great music.
I LOVE SAKI! I GET SO HAMMERED ON IT!

"This is Earth Radio. And now, here's human music."
This is Omega Radio. And now, here's Asari music.
hm human music. I like it.
What about Moon radio?
My favourite place in the galaxy, Afterlife is. Plenty of things to do, there are.

@@rabotyaga6610 I like it, easy to remember.

I know its been 2 years but damn, powerful stuff man. felt that shit
This is the perfect song to get intoxicated to
It's been 12 years, and this is the melody, the best thing I've listened to.It's a pity there is no 10 hour version
It sure is a pity
This never gets old... I could totally live in that world and hang out at the Afterlife from time to time.
Just remember not to buy a drink from that batarian scum downstairs... heard people get sick from the garbage he serves.
Full Bore V8 live on omega? Fuck that's sketch. I'd live on the citadel which seems to have an awesome night life in ME3
The music and ambiance in ME3 clubs are vastly inferior! Nothing compares to the Afterlife. The Citadel is for wannabees and weaklings. Besides, bar brawls are much more entertaining on Omega!
I agree... and now I find myself listening to this song again. I love it! I wish ME would continue on with something new and not like Andromeda.

Or Need for Speed

Honestly, I could listen to this song, from High Stakes, for 10 hours and not get bored.

been listening to this everyday i tune out and play a game or just do chores.
Just started playing ME2 for the 1st time. It looks beyond its 7 year age in 4k. Already loving the soundtrack. This scene in Afterlife is off the scale. I can't help but imagine dropping a few pills in this club and zoning out. Fire, sexy dancers,lots o visuals and aliens with guns.

Enjoy while you can, probably one of the best games out there.
Replayed this game like 10 times -- Afterlife was always one my favorite places to go back to.
Zaeed was cool. I wish he had live through the suicide mission /:
One of my favourite Characters :D...always with me
he does! :D
I come to omega only for this Music XD
me for Asari dancers :D
And to get drunk :D Shepard can pound an unlimited amount of drinks on the first level
I came for Shepard's bad dancing.
music, drinks and blue girls :)
And i for pussy and boobs

i cannot get over this music
its fucking fantastic
Not sure how many hours ive clocked into this simple song. Fire up ME2 on the PS and just park myself in Afterlife ^^,
ehehhe simple... ;)
This music really makes you feel that all is well.
RIP Saki merci pour cette oeuvre d'art
Oui, sa musique était absolument incroyable.
Non-Gamer: "Video games aren't ar-"
*sees the opening part of Omega, complete with the Aria meeting.*
"oh."
The club where I spent most of my 20s
Arias expecting me....
Annoyed: If she was expecting you, you'd be inside.
Get away from my way i am going in. Follow me Lince.
Come on! Let me in!
Annoyed: If Aria was expecting you, you would be inside already.
To this today I will still boot up mass effect 2 and go to omega just to walk around afterlife. What a tune.
You can hear a bit of Samra's theme in this. I love both regardless.
This song was featured all the way back in 1999, when NFS: High Stakes was released.
Thank you for making this 🙏❤
Damn, I want a bar in inner space with that kind of music.
If the music on your party doesnt sound like this, dont call me
I came here from Need For Speed Road Challenge. But tysm for sharing
Somwhere in the galaxy right now, aliens are partying up in some mega nightclub space station....
And we're not invited.... :(
herrlich, nach all den Jahren fällt mir schlagartig wieder ein, weshalb ich den Teil so liebe. Ich hatte mich damals oft in den Club gestellt und die Mucke im Hintergrund laufen lassen :D
Literally come here and play this anytime I just need to focus and get in a productive groove and get something done. Brilliant track from an amazing game.
I remember this music form need for speed high stakes' garage!
I had a huge nostalgia hit when I first played Mass Effect 2 and heard this.
I only played only a few of the older Need for Speed and I'm not sure if it included High Stakes, but people must have had a hard time leaving the garage and actually playing the game... This song is so awesome!
Yep car showroom in nfs high stakes.
It first appeared on Need for Speed 2
hmmm ruclips.net/video/-lUyvO3_WgE/видео.html
did anything similar appear in nfs 5? (never played 4 but the track felt a tad familiar nonetheless somehow).
Also the party soundtracks in citadel featured a good number of tracks from Undercover (not the world's best nfs, but eh I enjoyed it quite a bit).
Finally i can listen to the best club song ever. Ty i really love this song tried looking on spotify it doesnt exsist.
Guys , if you like Callista . Look for Andrew Wonderful remix. It is an hour long and sounds great !!
Enjoy !!
"I am Omega"
No more words needed.
Rest in peace Kaska, loved your music.
This song is sexy!
Ah, good 'ol HornPub.
First time I heard this music was during the car showroom in nfs 4: high stakes. Memories :')
yeah I'm that old too... shit
Looking for this on Spotify the other day, sucks that it’s not there. Guess I’ll just have to keep coming back to this video
What a fantastic Reference to NFS 4.
This was originally in Need For Speed 4: High Stakes back in 1999.

Such a chill banger, brings back memories and hard nostalgia. There was a song in time splinters future perfect that was similar as well.

Jaruut.
I implore everyone here to listen to the Long Mix version of Kallista. An incredible song.
RIP Saki Kaskas
such a great music to live in that world for
I've hearing this all day and I'm still counting... guess I see you tomorrow xD
Best song in ME2

I think i'm going to reinstall Mass Effect 2 just to come by afterlife and hang out
very nice, i love this
thanks for this
Sadly a lot of people don't know where this legendary song originated from.
Need for Speed
Silent Knight Sadly not everyone gives two fucks, Need for Speed is garbage, Mass Effect isn’t. End of story.
@@IoiniEverson Except for the ones after they quit making original soundtracks and swapped to licenced music. ;)
@@CTyler84 with that and every single game they do that alredy recordd music.. sucks

Its now 2021 and still listening to this☺

I finally found the song, it was relaxing to hear it when I was in the club
Great, so very good!
love this song so much
i still remember stepping in there for the first time like it was yesterday.
My favourite music!!!
2021: And here we go again

Downloading now ME Legendary Edition in Steam, listening this, and have goosebumps =))) nostalgia
Best song ever
Pure 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great song, and nostalgic for two great games. Interesting that this version seems to feature ME2 Samara's theme at 0:09, and NFS High Stakes menu sound effects at 1:09.
Used to listen to this for as long as I could in the car selection menu in Need For Speed: High Stakes back in 2003
Mass effect 2 is free on origin right now lol
“I’m the boss, CEO... queen if you’re feeling dramatic”
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite club on the ... Omega :D
awesome music, addictive!!!
This music helped me to write my dissertation
This is a banger!
for some reason this reminds me of "Vessel of Sin" from Metro games, although the vibe is different. Perhaps it's not about music alone, but the atmosphere and how it catches you off guard on a mission. Lets you relax and you don't want to continue anymore, just chill and keep listerning to the music.
Literally played an hour of GTA listening to this
Not figuratively?
ive done it i can play this music all day every day man i even set it as my ring tone for my phone
I am Omega.
Who else feels NFS Porsche vibes in this?
Why isn’t this beauty on Spotify or Apple Music?
Afterlife. Now.
If you love this, you'd love Enigma's albums Voyageur and A Posteriori. Quite similar.
Yeah but DOES ENIGMA ALBUM FUCK WITH ARIA????
The best game in the trilogy. Much better than the first game and light years better than the third.
need for speed and then mass effect. love this.
excellent music by the late Saki Kaska, it is a shame that he was taken too soon

You know, in a way Fist had it right. Asari dancers, in heels, shaking that business. Omega was one of those places that just blew me away.
