"There was something about "Distant Worlds" by Sam Hulick (the map music from Mass Effect) that I always liked, and for some reason, I kept envisioning Shepard standing at that map screen in his ship when I was writing this track. It has a stability to it, like "Love on a Real Train" by Tangerine Dream, that I wanted. I also wanted it to feel really warm and sunny, and somewhat important."
