Mass Effect 2 Original Videogame Score 
Edit
Jack Wall's 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.
-Dr. Ray Muzyka, BioWare Co-Founder
Mass Effect 2 Original Videogame Score was released on January 18, 2010 and is the main soundtrack for the Mass Effect 2 video game.
Jack Wall, as lead composer of his audio production team "Wall of Sound", is credited for the composition and production of the Mass Effect 2 score. Team members included Sam Hulick, David Kates, Jimmy Hinson; and additional music, editing, and implementation was made by Brian DiDomenico. Wall, Hulick and Kates returned to work on the Mass Effect 2 video game score after having also worked on the original Mass Effect video game score, and ultimately the first Mass Effect Soundtrack.
