Saki Kaskas & Rom Di Prisco - Kallista (Callista Long Mix)

- Kallista is a mix of the song "Callista" by Saki Kaskas and Rom Di Prisco, originally from Need For Speed: High Stakes in 1999. This rare mix is found on Rom Di Prisco's 2004 compilation DVD archive under the "Bitstream Dream" name. It is a beautiful version of a song I've long cherished since its appearance in the Playstation 1 version of High Stakes.
While not only appearing in Need for Speed, the short version Callista has recently been featured in EA and Bioware's Mass Effect 2. Callista can be heard in the Afterlife club on Omega, as well as in Shepard's personal quarters on the music player. Its reappearance has brought this song back into the limelight, encouraging me to share it.
Even though the main point of interest is the music track, I didn't want to simply upload a song with a simple picture (it feels tacky honestly). So I loaded up the latest Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and recorded a joyride around Seacrest County. Callista is a great song for traveling, whether it be along Earth's coasts, or across the galaxy.

I am very happy that my brother has touched so many peoples lives from all over the world. Thanks for all the positive, emotional comments.
The soundtracks of your brother grew us up. Everytime i want to have a beautiful nostalgic moment i come here and put your brother's songs playlist. Love his works!
@@dallolandaconfurore got a link to anymore of Saki's work?
I JUST found this today...will be played forever in my list

I just recently discovered his work and yet without ever playing the games it feels super nostalgic and touching. Your brother was incredibly talented.
"Callista is a great song for traveling, whether it be along Earth's coasts, or across the galaxy." legendary quote right there
👏👏👏
🥲
Maybe when we finally travel through space, some will travel hearing Kallista.
Best wishes.
It let's you know you are living in a simulation.
The sentence is true from my experience. My current job is just under ten minutes over the road from the town I go through to get home. Having this song accompany my nightime highway drive is nothing short of blissful. There's few other cars and no buildings or lights, just me, my car, the music, and forest sights.
I thought of hitch-hiking across the galaxy for an unknown reason. If I'm not mistaken, there is a novel having a similar name or something.
Especially if you were driving in area such as Dolphin Cove, Landstrasse, Celtic Ruin, or Kindiak Park
A million views! Thank you! Honestly though, Rom and Saki really earned their appreciation here. Still love this song and glad to have shared it so long ago. Saki we remember you.

Glad to be here for this. Saki and Rom did a great job with this.
Years later and I still come back to this every once in a while. Saki is truly missed.
Still way to less. Even after so many years I play this at least 10 times a day just for the algorithm 😊
I grew up playing NFS in the 90’s and having a nostalgic session at the moment.
I discovered this song a few hours ago and I’ve played it non-stop.
Looking at some of the comments here, I gather Saki is no longer with us? What happened? 😢
Mass Effect & NFS4
Those were magical times
This song is the perfect definition of that type of loneliness that makes you wiser and stronger neither weak and useless
Crazy how after 2 years after you commented this, I know EXACTLY what feeling it is rn...
@@kilog8366 same dude. Sometimes you gotta go your own way 😌
totalmente de acuerdo. Completely agree with you
Wish I could like this comment twice lol.
💯❤️👌🏻
The moment you enter the Afterlife club on Omega, realizing you're listening to a 10-year-old song, and you just go up in the atmosphere, feeling that you are actually there.
Standing among the crowd of Turians, Salarians, Krogan, Batarians and Humans, watching some young 100-year-old Asari shake her ass while hanging upside down on a pole. Just amazing. Truly amazing.
Also one of the only possible situations where you can say (and people will believe you): "Oh, I only come here for the music."
For that very moment i geniunely thought i was really there... really in future.. watching those badass asaris and listening the most futuristic track you may ever think of or imagine... that moment was really something beyond a simple joy .... it left me speechless... but full of memories... love that time.
I could not agree with you more, this song is so relaxing i can feel myself go into another world every time i sit with a Deserano and coke and chillout listening to it. the first time i heard this amazing song was in Mass Effect 2, as soon as you hear some loud noise outside Afterlife and make your way through the crowds to find your crew members chilling haha.
Totally correct, I adored that part in Mass Effect. Afterlife club, I felt like i was there, i wanted to BE there. I actually went clubbing that night. Awesome.
So true, I hope the new Mass Effect will have an awesome club!
TESHDVideos Yeah man, it better do ! Afterlife better be in it :P
Turning on that old 1999 computer, insert the NFS High Stakes CDrom into the drive, starting the game in that hot room on summer, willing to take your BMW or your Porsche to blast in an virtual european track with this music in the menu? Now THAT was NFS.
It's a shame Saki Kaskas never got any sort of recognition for his work from EA. There's an award nomination for NFS Heat "soundtrack" recently...can you believe that crap? C'mon! Where's the award for Rom di Prisco and/or to Saki Kaskas for their contributions to create a total experience for NFS?
Time changes it seems :/
RIP Saki
My sister always liked to listen those musical masterpieces while i played the game :)
So true 👌🏻
The nfs heat soundtrack was the worst soundtrack of all games I played and a disgrace to the series in general. Game was fun to play but had to mute the music instantly
@@POV_Drive I fully agree. It was just too much reggaetón nonsense. I have Heat, Payback, NFS2015, Rivals, and NFS HP2010 Remastered on my PS4. What I did was get mp3 rips of all the NFS3 and High Stakes music, throw it in a folder titled Music on a flash drive and play them using media player while in game. The one game that really shines with the older games' music is HP2010.
NFS went down hill for me when it became the Hip-Hop street thug storyline, instead of a drive down coast.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite music on Omega
If I will have ever daughter, a will give her name "Callista".
I always picture an E39 M5 spinning on a turntable when I hear this song.
Oh boy the memories.. Back when EA made amazing games.
used to turn on the game, go to showroom and leave pc just to listen to this amazing shit for hours
Best M5.
So, about two years back when I was playing the RPG game Mass Effect 2, I come across the Afterlife club, I hear this... music... in the distance, my brain recognizes it, but I'm still trying to remember where I heard it, where I listened to it. I stop moving around and focus, I'm at the front door of Afterlife, just gazing upon the clubs doors and still trying to recall that past memory as I keep listening to the music. Until I suddenly realise that this music was my childhood, this music was from 20 years ago, this music was what made me fall in love with cars, this music was what made NFS: High Stakes a timeless classic for me.
Diablo SV, I love you baby.
RIP Saki
The Diablo SV and the BMW M5. Those are my favourites in High Stakes. With my favourite tracks in Landstrasse and Durham Road
Welcome to the Afterlife
Goodbye Saki!
Thanks for all!
RIP
;_;
Hey how are you doing ?
Hope everything is good with you
I wanna go back to the High Stakes era :,(

Me too :/
Hot pursuit 2010 is the closest we've been to that era

Me too
You and me both sweetheart.
21 Year after Need For Speed HS. Driving my own 226-HP-Car on a Country Road right into sunset with this Song. So many memories. R.I.P Saki. Thank you for being such a big contribute to my road to being a petrolhead. I guess this will still play in my Garage when i'm 80 years old.
what car do you have bro?
When NFS is all about drive experience and no points or nitrous
RIP SAKI :( going to miss you homie
urokricardo I just saw a tweet about this, I am sad too... 2016 really hurts.
Heart broken beyond words. His music had a way to bring back childhood memories unlike so many artists these days.
Forever an inspiration.
You got to be kidding. Is he dead?
bla2030 Sadly, he passed away today.

Hard to believe... this is trully sad
Ah... the good old NFS music. Even years later, it still feels amazing.
Janek M
Definitely!! 🙂🎶
I almost cried when I heard it play in ME 2. Especially in Afterlife…
Callista is one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard.
Saki, Your music helped define my childhood, you inspired me to become a music producer, and your music STILL continues to inspire me 18 years after having first heard it. I am at such a loss for words, and heart broken beyond belief.
FOREVER an Inspiration.
REST IN PEACE.
Sure was a kick in the _ass_ when I first read the facebook post, as was a *_colossal_* kick in the _ass_ for all of us when we first heard. But yeah, I've been listening to his music for a huge period of my life, and he's one of the main guys that inspired (and still inspires) me to write and produce music. I've learned so much from chatting with him on Soundcloud and listening to his music, that he's _really_ influenced me and the tunes I make to this day.
Billion thanks to him for all the amazing music he's put out into this world. I'll never stop listening to it.
By the way zodiac909, lemme know if you have or do put out some music. I'd love to hear it! (I've gotta network more ya know! XD)

This takes me to another dimension of thought. It's honestly like a drug.
+Lmomjian Try to add 3 days without sleeping, then listen to this whole night... your view wont be the same as before. personal experience, it was an accident and i was pretty like depressed but still worthy experience :D
+Lmomjian 200% agree.
I used to stand around in the club in Mass Effect 2 for an hour or so listening to this. There's people dancing and lights flashing, and this song brought it to life
+Moandor Ckcknnlteoue idk if it would be a good idea. Otherwise I listened this song high asf and it's amazing hehehe
mescaline man lol
no wonder why "Nostalgia" is a Greek word, Saki Kaskas you created the feeling in a million kids that now are adults. What a Legend! just to know how much you're idolized! Rip...
I want to drive at night with this music :(
Then fucking drive :D
I just did and it was awesome!
DamDam I know I’m 5 years too late, however, another masterpiece to drive to at night is called Nightcall by Kavinsky. That song in my eyes tops this one.
@@Im-Red-Faction That sounds nothing like Kallista.
@@Toxic2T I didn’t say it did
no words of mine can express how the kallista track makes me feel
same
RIP Saki. This song will live in my mind forever.
Sruthik P too
Well, this is a Need for Speed classic. There was a time in my life (10 years ago), where I was afraid that music like this would disappear and there would be no way to preserve the nostalgic genre. Thank God for youtube. It's an eye opener because as a kid your worries are small compared to today's real life problems.
Yep, same here... I used to sit and listen to the music over and over as much as I could, I thought that it'd be gone since everybody was forgetting about NFS IV. I sat thinking how I'd have to keep my old computer and harvest parts for it so I could play the game and music in the future (something like Mad Max and the last V8)... Crazy stuff! hahaha
hows 'bout it and then you hear it in Mass Effect after so many years...hell of a nostalgia.
Needs to be more comments like this on the tube
+hows 'bout itYes, the same here. The Rom Di Prisco NFS music stayed in my head for years and at last I found out there is a music style that's like that: psytrance. And now I go to festivals with that music. Changed my life! Thanks Rom, thanks EA.
+Mar Rastapopoulos are you sure it's psytrance?
High Stakes, the last good old NFS :-(
So true. I loved the High Stakes. Why the hell cant EA make such games anymore. ;(
Because after Black Box took over, they decided too celebrate the Fast and furious movies. That started this stupid streetrace tiuning crap games, and the problem is that since Ghost games also love this. I dont see it return.Partly because these ricer kids is dominate the NFS forum and their Facebook page, that is why the have get their free will in so many years now. We old schoolnfs gamers must dare too speak louder if we want NFS too etc make a High Stakes remake, Rivals had some similarites compared too High stakes in gameplay. Ecpecially the pursuit part, but overall it was too burnoutish and too much bugs.
Nah, the last true NFS was Porsche Unleashed. Both are my favourite car-games of all time, HS being very slightly ahead of PU. Also HS has the best OST ever, in tandem with Quake III Arena Noize album by Sonic Mayhem - and NFS 3.
Btw both HS and PU are still kinda active online, with the patches they work flawlessly on Win 7 and Win 10 and you can play them via IPLounge over the internet. Give it a spin.
don't think I'd blame it on blackbox though, considering the circumstances of their take-over of sorts (there were 2 versions of NFS 6 (a 100% *not* F&F-kind of NFS). Who made the better one?)
Porsche Unleashed was good too.
Man, this music is from age of real NFS games , golden era of 90's. First 4 NFS are legendary for me. Good remix really
Anyone else here who likes Night driving for cleaning the mind from bad thoughts and playing this song in the car? :D
100% I take drives spontaneously quite often, I've driven the entire west coast California and Oregon when I lived on west coast, and now exploring Souther East Coast (now that I live here). Music like this makes it heaven vs. just a scenic drive. (1984 Porsche 944)
I would go into Afterlife sometimes just to listen to this, ah that moment when the music in a club in a video game is better than the music in a actual club.
0nIy music I pIay in the Captain's Cabin in ME 2; was pretty upset it wasn't avaiIabIe in 3
nolan harrington I would do the same with the music featured in the Eternity Club on Illium. Great music by Comaduster.
Amen mate

5 years today - rest in peace, Saki!
MASS EFFECT 2 PLANET OMEGA BAR BABYYYY
Depression at night:
This being high the best medicine
You want to talk, talk to Aria.
Aria aint shid
Imagine the hidden gems saki had stored in his computer just waiting to be heard by our ears
"Don't Fuck With Aria"
Its something awesome. Imagine this: You, your car and endless road. Fusion between car and man. Its other world, not that shit what happens everyday. Pure freedom.
I have to remind myself of when it was first released because there isn't a single hint of it's age when hearing it. This track is just timeless.
"Saki Kaskas & Rom Di Prisco" in title was enough for a like
This song is good for everything, like depression, sadness, happiness, even for playing fighting games like Injustice, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and especially the racing ones like Forza, Gran Turismo and NFS. Saki was ahead of his time when he made this song with Rom di Prisco,
it is real sad he is no longer with us, but he has a good side in all this, he is with God now, making music with the angels, have a excellent day, and thanks for reading this.
Not for me! Hits me right in the nostalgia, reminds me of the happier days of my life that won't come back...
Слушаю где то с 2000 года
Сейчас 2022 это походу навсегда. Действительно музыка опередившее время
20 лет прошло, а я все переслушиваю вечерами. Это навсегда
😃😃😃😃
Yo también lo escucho desde el 2000 NFS Hot Pursuit 1998 y NFS Hig Stakes ❤💯
Для прослушивания этого всегда есть время
Во всех плейлистах со мной с 1999 года))
It's so hard to hit that right NFS spot. I'd like a Need for Speed game where you drive in the night, dark night with few light, not full of neon colors and fanciness, just calm night driving, sometimes in the rain, sometimes not. The 2010 Hot Pursiot almost nailed the look what I'm looking for. I love the stage where you are driving a police car, the level starts at night and by the time you arrive at the goal the sun comes up.
The last good Need for Speed 😍...
For all people who want to know the source of the conversation: seems like it's from the game itself, not from a movie. Sources:

She only participated as a voice actor in NFS:HS, unfortunately. Her voice is magnificent though.

Сама Callista шедевр, а этот mix не меньше! 15 лет прошло, а я до сих пор слушаю музыку NFS4 в машине.

oh boy. i never played that need for speed game from 99. i first heard that song in ME2. and it sounded "new". iam acutally suprised, that this song is nearly 20 years old and was used in a different game before. its one of those songs, that instantly brings me into another realm.
if you gonna download ps1 emulator and play NFS high stakes, you gonna love it even tought it's very old game. music makes game even greater. callista, cygnus rift, paradigm shifter, quantum singularity and many other songs in that game will be always in every NFS fan heart
If you can buy an older pc or laptop, try high stakes, I'm even thinking to build some shitty pc just to play it. It's an Amazing NFS! Different than anything after.
It's weird that a man who I know nothing about has made a song that I can identify with so much. Rest in peace Saki. Good ones always leave first.
RIP to saki kaskas, I’ve been listening to your music since 2010, the release of mass effect 2. Back then, I was just 10 years old. Almost 21 now, and I’m still enjoying your music and that masterpiece of a video game. One of my favorite producers.. So sad to see you gone, but your music forever has a place here on the internet, so you are not forever lost.
Rest in Peace Saki ;(

RIP SAKI. LOVED CALLISTA
This brings back a lot of beautiful memories of me driving the amazing Ferrari F50 flat-out in Need for Speed: High Stakes...what a nostalgia, simply wonderful. Love this music and always will love it.
Timeless masterpiece. First time I heard it when I was a kid, just a few times at uncle's house while he was showing me NFS, I guess. But then, when I entered Afterlife at Omega for the first time I was completely blown away. Asari dancers, flames, screaming people all around, danger around every corner and Aria... That's really memorable. I instantly got addicted to this track. Many years have passed, but I just can't stop listening to it. Rest in peace, Saki, you're glorious bastard.
I miss him dearly every single fuckin day!!!
Need For Speed Hot Pursuit,2010.
Still it has amazing graphics!

Memories from Need For Speed: High Stakes on the original PlayStation, of blasting down a tree-lined country road in Scotland (Celtic Ruins) in a 550 Maranello while racing against a C5 Corvette in the dead of night, with this as the perfect soundtrack...
Need for speed when it was just right I think so many people would love game designers to take a step back to when things were simple I can appreciate how much time and effort they put into games now and I take my hat off to them I really do but we seem to be remastering all the old games surly that says something amazing memories and times..........
Goodbye Saki! Thanks for all... Homie
Starts of so elegantly, such a beautifully simple baseline. The last couple of mins are completely neural... sound goes and echos inside every brain chamber like a beacon. A very well made composition. Can't help returning to this audio every now and then.
I was playing that game in that time, now , after many years i thinking One of the best songs, really i can listening this by a headpones or driving a car. And now its concreted in soul
Nothing will ever come close to the 90's music era.

From a quick glance, I thought the clips are either real life or a recent racing game... then flashbacks of NFS HP occurred, unbelievable, over a decade ago and looks so great. Combined with the chosen track is awesome.
The definition of immortality trough music.
I don't know why, but this video is the most relaxing shit I've ever enjoyed!

Я конечно с первой nfsu начал погружаться в это, но будь постарше думаю влюбился бы и в это. Треть, если не половину любви к этой серии гонок отдавали именно из-за музыкальной составляющей😊
Nostalgia 🥲
NFS only comes to my mind for racing games. Lots of fond memories.
