Was it just me or did the Darkness music sound an aweful lot like Mass Effect (A popular xbox 360 space drama, role playing game)? The long drowning tones as the ship was about to skim the atmosphere really gave it away. I'm not complaining cause I really liked it but I did think "Wow, this is like a complete musical knockoff from the same genre!"

Stealing Mass Effect music?

Can't say it sounded like it to me. Though it's been quite some time since I've played ME.Last edited by DigiFluid; 17 October 2009, 09:56 PM."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in.

I will say, though, that long, droning tones are something that almost every composer uses when wanting to portray a tense, suspenseful, or somber feeling in the music.

I would say that the music is appropriately atmospheric in most places... but pretty much any context (video game or movie or tv show) going for that kinda music to set that kind of mood is going to use, or end up, with something pretty similarIf you're wondering how he eats & breathes, and other science facts...(la! la! la!)
Then repeat to yourself its just a show, I should really just relax.
I own "Future War"..I can put up with a lot

Well, I've replayed ME just recently, and I can say that music in SGU sounds quite similar to the game's score. But that was very good music!Last edited by Vagabond Serpent; 18 October 2009, 10:06 AM.

Even if it is, it's hard to call it stealing... maybe it served as an influence but it would be very hard to prove stealing...
And most importantly (as I said before), a very generic motif of long, droning notes is something that all composers use to establish a certain mood.

I have FAUNTS and the rest of the sound track and I know it intimately.

Watch Blade Runner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_runner#Soundtrack
The music is very much borrowed from Blade Runner. It's likely Mass Effect (although I haven't heard it) borrowed from Blade Runner as well.
