I DID NOT MAKE THE COVER ART ENTIRELY MYSELF. I just added the text, seeing as how I do like some information to be on the covers. The actual cover was made by the brilliant RebellionLord. His cover art can be found on this page: Thread 90457 (As you can probably tell, I'm an amateur. If RebellionLord or anyone else decides to make a better cover, I'm all ears.)

Happy holidays, everyone. This was a project that I kinda left in development hell (along with Batman: Arkham Knight, Arkham Origins, and a few others) for ages. I am STILL keeping that project in mind, by the way, it's just that as a student who has a part-time job as well as being an executive member of my student club, time is hard to come by these days.

I always hated the official release of this soundtrack - cluttered, not in chronological order, and organized in suite format, rather than how the music actually appeared in the game. To make matters worse, they periodically released "Atmospheric" or "Combat" albums to supplement the complete lack of music in the ORIGINAL album. I always hated the thought of having five different albums for one game, so I decided to make this.

It's a big one. One of the biggest I've made. I have decided to label it "complete", but please note that its actual complete-ness is at about 96%. What's missing? Some short cues that I could not for the life of me find in the gamerip that I had. Examples are: the cue after Garrus gets shot by the gunship, the "tension" sting played when planting the demolition charges on Haestrom, stuff like that. Yes, I'm just as OCD as you are that I don't have them. But the bulk of it is here.

I did my best to actually tag each song so that it had the correct artist in MusicBee. For example, the Afterlife club music is actually called "Callista" and was made by someone named Saki Kaskas. Further, I did my best to ascertain whether Jack Wall made a cue, or Sam Hulick, or Jimmy or whoever, but this is really down to my best guesses. I looked and saw that the "Garrus" suite on the official soundtrack was composed by David Kates, so I made everything related to Garrus composed by David Kates. Not a perfect system by any means, but I'm willing to correct anything if there are any discrepancies that anyone brings to light.

Lastly, this does not contain any DLC music. I haven't really figured out how to acquire that music. :P

Well, that's everything. This isn't really a score in high demand, but with Andromeda coming out next year I thought we could enjoy a little Mass Effect.

Enjoy! :)

Thank you! Giving it a listen. I had the urge to hear the music that plays when you meet The Illusive Man!

At this time there is not. I'd essentially have to redo the thing. I may decide to over the holidays, however.

That's honestly fine. No rush or anything enjoy your holidays. This is a really good rip. Thanks!
