It has been a couple of weeks since we had a new edition of Hump Day Music. With the launch of the PlayStation Vita, the last two Wednesdays were dedicated to previewing the most interesting games in the Vita's launch line-up from both first and third-party developers than getting over the hump with some video game music. Hump Day Music came at the right time as it is almost the day I have been waiting months for, Mass Effect 3 launch day. I will fully explain my love for the series next week, which I have deemed Mass Effect week here on Silver Bit, but to keep things short for right now Mass Effect is my Star Wars in a way. To get everybody ready for all the Mass Effect loving that will be going on next week with the Mass Effect Theme.
Not as synonymous as the Legend of Zelda Theme or the Super Mario Bros. Theme or even the Halo Theme, the Main Theme music for Mass Effect is just as great. Those who have played either games in the series will immediately recognize it and the subtle more ambient tone of the piece. My favourite part of the piece starts at the 20 second mark as things start the ramp up. The electronic vibration sound just starts to get louder and louder and more lively until the boom of the percussion where all the other instruments come and the piece really comes alive. It is a great piece of music that I did not fully respect until I heard it played by the Video Games Live orchestra. It is at least worth a listen considering Mass Effect 3 is less than a week away.
