First time ME2 on Omega: You are standing in front of club Afterlife, you look at the line with the customers and an Elcor bouncer. You can hear music, it's dimmed but it sounds so magnetic, it's pulling you in. You walk up to the door, passing the line, some guy argues with the bouncer. As you open up the door and walk further in, some Batarians want to mess with you. The music is still dimmed and the dark and red lighting gives a real menacing atmosphere. You deal with those Batarians and continue to the main door. The door opens up and the song is finally embracing your ears. As this sick song is blasting off the speakers, hot blue chicks are dancing on poles, some people dance and others chill in corners and drink alcohol. You are so immersed, you feel like being there in that moment. This is one of my favourite video game moments ever. It was really well done.
Well said. The funny part is how easy this song makes it to remember that whole experience. From the moment you enter Omega, Afterlife is the destination. It's the centre of attention, and with that comes this song as you walk towards it. It's everything you would imagine a future nightclub would be like. This track is ahead of its time. Cheers to Saki, may he rest in peace in the Afterlife...
Apparently everyone forgot that this track was introduced in Need For Speed III as Atlantis race soundtrack. But perhaps some didn't even know where it's from in the first place =)
Einstein of the new. Need4Speed 2SE was my first game where graphics and acoustics harmonized so beautifully and still give me goosebumps to this day.TYFA
Callista is a bangin song. I used to play NFS : High Stakes just to listen to this (before youtube started). It makes a great road song, like 7 Minutes to Midnight from Sundog. This piece, however, not even ten minutes into it and I fucking love it.
This song together with the showcase made the game so much better. I still remember the narrator's voice. It felt like there's a whole racing world full of wonders behind the showcase photos, and the game was like an open window to this world, that let me smell its fresh air. When I grew up I kinda lost interest in cars, but these memories are still some of the best that I have.
Back in the days, when i was 10, NFS IV on my PS1 felt like a masterpiece nothing can get even close. I'm almost 28, but this vibe gets me to these days, and I'm still into cars.
I have listened to this probably an unhealthy amount of times.... my go-to for when I'm marking. Always brings a smile to my face when reminded of the awesomeness of the ME2 adventure.
There aren’t that many tracks at all that can be made to an hour or over long while never getting old. Masterpiece! And I miss those good old freedom 90s and early 2000s. This track gives me energy to move on in these dystopian times and make the world a better place.
Check OST from Deus Ex: Human Revolution (The Hive, Hung Hua Brothel) Just went through my collection for a sec:D I mean all 3 games in series have amazing soundtrack (original from 2000 has THE best OST imho) so feel free to check all pieces :)
I love that you took the original song and added to it without destroying the beat or melody. So many remixes of this and other songs are much too harsh or sloppy. Beautiful. As someone that got into electronic music because of the NFS series(3-5) this is just amazing.
Original from NFS High Stakes. My brother and I would fire up the game sometimes just to here this song. (before UA-cam)...Thank you Saki Kaskas... R.I.P.
Уууууууууоооооооууууу, Каллиста - музыка моего детсва, прям ностальгия...высший пилотаж, по моему ни одна игра не сравнится с нфс 4, атмосфера просто незабываемая, каждый раз слушаю как в первый раз и мурашки по коже... Супер!!!!
нет ни один)) и моего детсва тоже, у нфс4 очень крутые треки, ни в одной игре таких нет, как раз думаю они и создают атмосферу, калиста самый крутой я так думаю, бро !
When I was 10 in 1999 I remember this game called Need For Speed High Stakes and it had this song hidden at the bottom of the playlist and once I heard it I got lost in a different world :)
This mix slaps. It’s also honestly amazing to see a song in two different games that resonates so much with people. I was saddened to learn about It’s creator Saki passing away though..
I applied ceramic coating to my electric car last night. Took me 4 hours! Glad I had Callista blasting in the car all that time. Made all that elbow grease a lot more bearable.
Me lembro com sadades de ouvir esta musica no PS1 no jogo Need for Speed High Stakes , cara que bom encontrar esta musica eu tava jogando Need for Speed Hot Pursuit e ouvindo ela , que sensação maravilhos o prazer de jogar um bom jogo de corrida ouvindo uma trilha sonora tão espetacular , espero que em algum dia todos possam viver isso tambem .
All glory and praise to our Greatest Lord❤, Almighty and Most Bountiful, Who gives us such talented people and such masterpieces. I hope all of you guys are doing well!
Igor Ć. with pleasure )) as for me it's memories 2000 I first heard this song on the disc Need for Speed: High Stakes on the PlayStationOne with growing popularity electronic music in the super drive tune compositions groups like Prodigy, Junkie XL, Lunatic Calm, Dastrix and composers Romolo Di Prisco, Saki Kaskas, Dylan Rhymes.
Nydelic Well this is crazy, breakbeat and drum & base mixes. Thanks for your suggestion, but I am transferring to slower tempo :). All is there he did full soundtrack, after all I am fan of trance.
I risk saying the song has a Divine Anointing in for me. Its so soul-piercing, deep, harmonic, dynamic, ... its like Divine Oxymorone. Musical contradiction, reminding of Alpha and Omega. Therefore its not the first time listening, nor the last. Dive in. Let the heart beat it. Breathe the love. Seek it. Open for the Unimaginable Creator. Let his goodness bubble up within you. So endless and peaceful within Self, that humble enough to ask You to give a name for his Everlasting and Everknowing Eternal Presence. I am shivering now. I feel cold having realised how big His mystery is. Now, asking for the chills, and receiving it... Halcyon on and on. Emerald. Yaspise. Jewel of Jewels. Soothe ...
I was introduced to Saki and Rom, of course, by NFS3 hot pursuit in the mid-late 90s- I was... damn... young. I always find myself roaming back to the music style, and specific tracks. I am now 35 in 2021... and i WILL come back to this style and the want for the sound that so far, no one fills.... I hope that it can stay alive. May the stars look upon you.
I remember the moment when I played NFS 4 and that was the best part - just because of the soundtrack and it still sounds very modern - it inspires me :)
Man... this is so cool... I love Callista ever since 1999 from Need For Speed High Stakes then there was another awesome mix called Kallista, and now this!! Congratulations and thank you for keeping the journey alive!! All the best from Romania!!
My favourite track in NFS High stakes with Porsche 911. Oh where my youth...😢❤
Also my favourite track in Higg Stakes. But with BMW M5
🫂
mercedes slk 230 oh yeah. now i have my own ;D
Awesome, an hour of Callista! I'm not the only one in the world who can listen to this tune on endless repeats then ;-)
Absa-friggin-lutely!
Who can't repeat this?
Same here, I repeated it for one entire week!!
If you're a coder (computer programmer), this is one of the best to listen to when you jack-in for 3 hours straight!

Dude yes! Exactly how I felt/feel about this amazing moment. Hard to duplicate in anything since then.
REST IN PEACE SAKI KASKAS. Your music STILL continues to inspire me 19 years after first hearing it. Thank you for granting me my life vision.
Esta pieza musical brutal es para que la escuche gente de la alta velocidad , ósea Max Verssttapen , nuevo campeón del mundo de F1 .👍😎😂
Oh dear. I had no idea. This is very sad. It is 2022 and I lament his departure. Sigh 😪
@Philosophical Thinking Saki Kaskas made the original music you are hearing. He died a few years ago.
he wont have any peace with all these people yelling at him and triplekill heartposting
Even 23 years later & Eternity ♾️🎶💘
Only the musical geniuses, dare to create something like this.
Couldn't agree more.

@@xapver Or probably because Mass Effect trilogy is more memorable with an enormous fan base than Need For Speed does.
Anyone who dislikes this is clearly insane. Or they F***** with Aria. Seriously, how can anyone dislike the most epic remix of Callista ever made?
The dislikes were from people who were left outside by the Elcor Bouncer.
Then I tossed their sorry ass out to the nearest airlock
This music was in Need for Speed High Stakes. Good old days.
When NFS was good being NFS and not F&F.
And Mass Effect 2 too
@@matheustoledo948 I know, still, when Mass Effect was not even a concept it was already at High Stakes.

Sad Callista only plays during the replay in PS1 version.
@@Victor_2000s you can regulate all music in main menu-settings-music. It allow to play menu music in race, replay, etc
@@neuromaniac1472 The song should be played only for the menu, not for racing or replay, doens't fit.
I have listened to this probably an unhealthy amount of times.... my go-to for when I'm marking. Always brings a smile to my face when reminded of the awesomeness of the ME2 adventure.
Sephira UK ..... Mass Effect 2 vs Need for Speed 4. space travelling or high way driving..... wich could be better?
RIP Saki. Callista is forever in my heart...
Same
absolute banger this one
was flinching from this ever since it first popped up in my suggestions
what a bloody waste of 2 years!
A great piece of music! Glad ME2 brought Callista back for people to do contemporary remixes
its was in NFS:High stakes early- a specially made for
There aren’t that many tracks at all that can be made to an hour or over long while never getting old. Masterpiece!
And I miss those good old freedom 90s and early 2000s. This track gives me energy to move on in these dystopian times and make the world a better place.
Club AFTERLIFE ❤️
IVE BEEN LISTENING TO TRANCE FOR OVER 15 YEARS....
R.I.P. Saki, loved your music growing up playing NFS ❤️❤️❤️
Club Afterlife was my most favorite music in the entirety of Mass Effects sound library and this mix is just nirvana to my ears.
Yes!
That's what introduced me to this song! It takes me back every time I listen to it. It's such beautiful music
Shepard Commander
You are too right :-)
Best song in the franchise, followed by Noveria
I WISH we had more music like THIS these days, Classy dance Lounge Style :)
zodiac909 Yeah! that would be incredible
Check OST from Deus Ex: Human Revolution (The Hive, Hung Hua Brothel)
Just went through my collection for a sec:D
I mean all 3 games in series have amazing soundtrack (original from 2000 has THE best OST imho) so feel free to check all pieces :)
Sssaga Benches Hive is INDEED genius.
Couldn't agree more.
I imagine Saki Kaskas parking his Diablo SV outside Afterlife to meet Aria and tear some shit up! This track is sooooooo good. Thanks for memories!
Born too soon to explore universe, too late to drive fantastic old school hyper cars, close enough to enjoy this beauty at home
He is now a Legend
what a masterpiece
This is Commander Shepard and I approve this remix ;)
This is a goddam masterpiece of a remix
RIP Saki
so trippy.... like a journey through the cosmos... flying in my starship...
Normandy for the win ... doesn't matter if SR1 or SR2.
@@SpliffieBee i prefer the SR2 because it’s more advanced and better design fr
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU. THIS SONG IS ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. LOVE FROM INDIA.
I love that you took the original song and added to it without destroying the beat or melody. So many remixes of this and other songs are much too harsh or sloppy.
Beautiful. As someone that got into electronic music because of the NFS series(3-5) this is just amazing.
This tune reminds me on my teenie years, playing Need for Speed 3 with my best buddy and having a good time and feeling totaly free.
One of the rare times I've cranked up the volume for something that wasn't metal
I loved Callista from the first time I heard it in-game. This is an awesome mix! I used it on repeat for a 3 hour coding sprint. Really works!
Real music ! I love it from the first time I heard it in 1999.
Is it strange that someone listens the whole thing? I did... and loved it
hi
what kind of music is that ?
what you are call it ?
is it trance or Radio Edit , or dance Original Mix ?
I just put it on while FreeRiding in NFS HotPursuit. Clears my head.
I honestly haven't heard a track of this length with such good technical execution in a little over a decade.
Nice work, but the original one is the best for me. Good old times
I'm still truly sad that Saki died young. His atmospheric work is legendary, and this version is lovely.
Original from NFS High Stakes. My brother and I would fire up the game sometimes just to here this song. (before UA-cam)...Thank you Saki Kaskas... R.I.P.

Everytime i listen to this song that orange mclaren F1 comes to mind😍
Whenever I go into a club called Afterlife I will not settle to less than this epicness.

This mix slaps. It’s also honestly amazing to see a song in two different games that resonates so much with people.

The part when it loops into the original Callista from nfs... Eargasm!
No1 track in the world
stumbled upon this track a week ago,now its a part of my life ...
Cant...find...words.... thank you !
This is such a soothing mix
Saki Kaskas we owe you. Rest in peace ❤
Awesome mix
This slithers through my soul, gets in my head and tears it to pieces. Continuous raging eargasms. If only I still rolled!!!!!
Thank you for this.
