I think my favorite part of the AI initiative videos is the musical theme they're using across the series. I've long been a proponent of keeping the synth in future ME soundtracks, and if this theme is any indication, they might just be doing that. It sounds very ME-appropriate while still feeling fresh. I love it!
Thoughts?

I haven't minded what I've heard but neither has it given the impression of a signature Andromeda sound. One of the things that troubled me with the ME3 soundtrack wasn't that the tracks were bad, they were independently quite good but they seemed derived and designed almost elusively from the story with little appropriation from where the story was taking place. I hope setting is something that Andromeda's music is more considerate of in design.

Better than the generic cinema music of Christopher Lennerz in ME2/3 but overall I still just miss Jack Wall and back when it was the days. I feel like I'm getting old already.
Overall it's still too much of this sweeping cinematically troped chords and "I want to be grandiose and epic!". I'm not fully into it. It feels cliche.
Anyone remember this?
I can't recall any cinema piece that reminds me of it.

I can't recall any cinema piece that reminds me of it. Hell yeah, I remember. The ME1 soundtrack is pretty much the greatest video game OST every created IMO. Edit: Ugh, and now that I'm hearing that music, I feel like I might need to go ahead and play that game one more damn time. Thanks a lot. jk

I was like "dammit!" too but I'm already playing a full trilogy run as we speak but I'm on ME3 already and now I wanna go back to ME1 again lol. Jack Wall isn't always great (ME2 had a lot of "pirate, arrr" space music IMO) but his music is still top-of-the-line composition work and his style is his own unlike the many, many sheep-composers who just go with the latest trend started by Hans Zimmer or use whatever style is hottest in the radio atm.
I heard some of Wall's recent stuff with CoD and some indie sci-fi game and he does use more dubsteppy elements now but it's still decidedly Jack Wall and he never uses those elements without somehow alienating it either which is completely great IMO. I really wonder if he just got sick of working together with BioWare since he hasn't come back at this point. Maybe the pay was shit for the amount of work he had to do.

I like it but I stand by that I think it's generic Hans Zimmer-alike music and BioWare probably picked the composer because they like trendy modern music more than anything unique and genre defining like ME1's.

I love the original ME soundtrack but I also love generic Hans Zimmer-alike music too, I guess I'm easily pleased. I don't know, the briefing music to me feels like it fits 'wonderous new galaxy' quite well.
My favourite sc-fi soundtrack is by John Murphy from the film Sunshine, I get ALL the goosebumps.
