Mass Effect soundtrack composer back for sequel

Jack Wall will be the composer of Mass Effect 2's music.

Which is the fancy way of saying if you liked the music for Mass Effect - and pretty much everyone with ears did - then expect more of the same in the sequel.

"We are thrilled to again be collaborating with Jack Wall, this time on Mass Effect 2," said BioWare's Dr. Ray Muzyka. "Jack did an outstanding job with the original game and has a firm grasp for our vision of the trilogy. His score for Mass Effect 2 perfectly blends classic sci-fi inspired sounds with unique arrangements to achieve an emotionally charged complement to the dramatic, action-packed gameplay."

"Working on the Mass Effect franchise has challenged me to create music beyond what I've written before," said composer Jack Wall."With Mass Effect 2, the story is even more engrossing and affecting, so it was important for me, along with my team of composers Sam Hulick, David Kates, Jimmy Hinson, and music implementation by Brian DiDomenico, to develop a score that complemented the scope and intensity of the gameplay while captivating the players and drawing them deeper into the story."

The soundtrack will be available to buy from digital retailers on January 19th.
