Callista - трэк на все времена! Я еще в 1999 его записывал с PS1 на видик. А потом записывал все это с видика через литовский магнитофон со специальными входами и выходами на кассету для моего кассетного "Walkman" вместе с другими шедеврами из "NFS Hight Stakes" , "Gran Turismo 2" , "Tekken 3" и других. У моей подруги была дома какая-то серьезная аппаратура (на то время) , не помню как называлась, но две S90 я запомнил четко. На них то мы и оценивали все эти произведения. ) Что говорить, во времена "Дэмо", "Вирус" и прочего дерьма, я с таким музоном был более чем просто законодатель нового мэйнстрима в школе... Шикарное было времечко.... Свернуть

Я услышал этот трек ещё давным давно, когда был ребенком: мой дядя решил показать мне NFS: High Stakes. Но совсем недавно, когда я проходил Mass Effect 2 этот трек по-настоящему впился мне в голову, и он, скорее всего, больше никогда оттуда не выйдет. Омега, Аферлайф, шум, пламя, злость, Ария, всё вот это вот - это абсолютно неповторимо. И я по-настоящему рад тому, что были люди до меня, и, наверняка, будут после, которые будут почитать и заслушивать эту композицию как и мы с вами. Это действительно говорит о том, что этот трек находится вне времени, и у него наверняка будет долгая жизнь.

Ever since I heard Callista in ME2 a while ago, I became obsessed with this song. Something about it makes it so nostalgic, ethereal...I wish the guitar part was longer though! Saki was definitely one of those rare, insanely talented musicians. I'm sad he is no longer with us, but glad his album got released (Theodosius). I recommend everyone to give it a listen. Rest in power man, you are missed. ❤️

Aujourd'hui, j'écoute toujours régulièrement ce titre de Saki Kaskas. Pour moi, c'est le meilleur son qui existe pour voyager avec des basses profondes. Un son qui peut s'écouter pendant une heure sans problème, c'est ce qui m'a toujours marqué. Bien sûr, j'ai connu ce titre dans Mass Effect 2. Grâce à Saki Kaskas, cela à contribuer à embellir l'expérience du jeu et cette musique à marqué des milliers de joueurs. Mention spécial pour son album Theodosius qui est juste génial, j'aimerais tellement l'acheter au format CD si il existait. Merci encore à cet artiste, paix à son âme 🙏

[@Bshere]

The year is 1999. You are in the back seat on your way home from school. You hear an ungodly noise and look up from your gameboy to see a m5 rip it down the highway. You go home. Hit the eject button and put the nfs high stakes cd inside. Turn on your playstation 1. Get to the car select menu. It’s the same M5 and this song. Crack that smile. Oh yeah baby. Game on.

[@svenschwingel8632]

I used to waste playing time in Mass Effect 2 just hanging around in the Afterlife listening to the sound cue ... awesome track!

[@aram00001]

This song was made for the racing game Need for Speed IV: High Stakes, in 1999. It played while you were browsing the menu of the game. Its more recent use in the Mass Effect game series has revived its popularity.

[@chindleymuffin]

This is the original version from Need for Speed: High Stakes, the version in Mass Effect 2 has some extra edited bits and some stereo enhancements.

This song is always with me, no matter what, this song is my number one of all time, thank you Saki, rest in peace.

[@solidsparkle117gaming4]

I didnt know this was in NFS High Stakes, but in Mass Effect 2 and in another Need For Speed game, NFS2015 to be exact, ironic to hear it in both games, especially 2015 while customizing your car in the garage, and of course the Upper Afterlife Club on Omega in ME2. To think this song is this old, yet it feels so new and nostalgic.

[@jj-ml7wq]

I just imagine this song playing in the background in 2002 while i played nfs high stakes for first time and discovering a weird orange car called "mclaren f1 gtr" as unavailable car in the single mode carrer, at that moment i was 6 years old and i just started in the beautiful world of the cars, i'm 24 years old right now and i remember all of that every time when i'm nostalgic remembering how the love for the cars and the cool electronic music born in my self THANKS SAKI KASKAS FOR THAT SOUNDS FROM YOUR HEART YOU DID MY CHILDHOOD SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL IN MY MEMORIES AND IN MY HEART TOO RIP 1971-2016
