Lack of ambient/exploration/background music in ME:A and other recent Bioware games

The lack of background music is actually one of my biggest gripes with the game. It just makes it so much harder for me to immerse myself. An example is that when you go on an 'ancient remnant sudoku from another galaxy' solving quest again you can sometimes spend up to 10 minutes in a bland screen without any sounds whatsoever. It's just a killer for immersion. I might have liked the sudoku's more (doubt it, but it's possible) if there was actually some music to keep you occupied.

I also want to give an example of a game where the background music is extremely strong and immersive although I'm probably going to get lynched for saying the name so I'll just let you guys guess which game it is . (There is a thread discussing that game VS Andromeda on the front page though). The strong points of the music in that game are that there is A LOT of it and that it really helps enhance the emotional moments of the game. I also applaud it because the developers really thought about making the music match with the setting. In fact, I must admit that I still listen nearly daily to the 'one hour of emotional music' videos on youtube when I have to concentrate or write a paper. (link in the spoiler tag) There are only a few other games which hold that honour: Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas and Mass Effect 2 and 3. Although ME:A is of course a game in an entirely different setting, there is still so much more the developers could have done when it comes to music and sounds. A radio in the Nomad where you could upload your own music next to some pre-made songs or a lot of electronic background music for when you're driving around would have been infinitely better for me than the awkward silence for example.

About the notion here that music becomes too noticable: I can see where that issue comes from and that is obviously a downside of having music in a vast game like ME:A because you can never have enough music to keep it new in a 100 hour game. I can't really relate however because it has never bothered me. I have over 300 hours on New Vegas and I always have the radio on. Also, like someone else pointed out, it is always quite easy to just switch music off when it becomes too repetitive. Then you'll just be back to what we have now in ME:A. It is however, in my opinion, always better to have the option to toggle music on or off than to have no option at all.

By the way, about Fallout New Vegas: I always switch radio stations when Johnny Guitar comes on. When I'm listening on youtube I just skip the song. It's the only song where I do that, love the rest. 

Edit: Also uploaded my favorite song from Oblivion. Jeremy Soule is a master when it comes to creating good background music. I also like this song because I instantly have flashbacks about the wonderful 'Radiant AI' of that game.
