@@Howling_Moon the game is incredibly good, one of the best I´ve ever played. I already completed it like 6 times or so. With the GMDX mod the game also has improved graphics and further improved gameplay. I can only highly recommend it to anyone who is into this genre.
The atmosphere of this soundtrack is immense. You truly feel immersed in this seemingly eternally nocturnal world. It's never too overbearing, yet it also doesn't fall into the trap of being bland ambient noise. The UNATCO and NYC streets have this futuristic, yet nostalgic sound to them that's both calm yet engaging. It's a feat to write music that really puts you in the setting of a game like DX1, where photorealism may as well have been a myth. It's up there with music such as Ulver's Perdition City with providing some of the best futuristic nocturnal city soundscapes ever.
The only time you see the sun is in the 11th Mission in Vandenberg AFB. I personally like to think that it represents hope that whatever Page did can be undone, since it's at the part when the resistance and the NSF has an actual real chance and advantage over their rivals.
So : turns out this video game prepared me for a realistic view of the world far more than any other piece of media in my life. Hilarious. I'm a middle aged man now and I was right all along. As a kid i knew the video games WERE good for the soul.
I love how the Liberty Island track has a more serious tone compared to the training course. In its simplicity it evokes that you’re in the field with real enemies, real people; people that you have the power to kill or spare. Paul’s conversation at the dock only reinforces that. Masterpiece.
I remember watching that kid collect the protection money in the market. I sat there just following him to see if anything would happen. They legitimately inputted code and recorded dialogue to have this kid collect this money from the vendor and give it back to Flash, something that they knew only a handful of players would notice or spend the time to witness. This game is monumental.

I really enjoy listening to the sound track at work these days. Brings me back to the experiences I had going through the world of Dues Ex. Years after playing the game, who would have ever thought that this would be the game to most accurately portray the future world we would end up living in? Looking back on it now I see this as a pivotal game that set the standard for me of how profound and enriching a gaming experience can be. Beyond just a game, this game was a full on experience. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to live such experiences. It was the kind of experience that left you wanting to be... Reading all the little newspapers and books in the game, doing all the side quests, talking to all the NPCs. You end up wanting to Digest all of the Real quotes, real books, real literature or good and google all the organizations and facts and stats and themes discussed in the game. One of my all time favorites. Magnificent level of detail and artistry that few games I've ever come across can compare to.
reading this while listening to one of the ending tracks was a great experience, you've definitely made an excellent conclusion to what Deus Ex truly is
I actually haven't played the game in years, but it instantly makes me think "I need to kill something in a red box, then the music will stop and things will calm down for awhile".
Trueee!! Enemies were hard in this point during the game, especially when you were jumping rooftops in the warehouse section, fell off, triggered the boobytrap etc.
I can't hear this track without also hearing the sound of lots of UNATCO troopers and NSF fighters running around in crazy bedlam, spraying bullets from their highly inaccurate submachine guns in random directions.
Fun story : The first Deus Ex I played is HR and as soon as I listened to this during the radio I got oldschool vibes, so I assumed that it is a track they took from the first Deus Ex. Came here and found out that my assumption was true, lol.
@@captaincommando9839 I did and it was great. The only negative I noticed is that the augmentations don't really feel as OP as in the newer games. But maybe it is because I didn't progress until the end. I also really liked the variety of paths you can take ( considering how old the game is ). It is still in my backlog, I plan on doing a new playthrough and play it till the end.
@harrispj4205 I need to do the same with HR when I get the chance. I have the wii u edition. If you plan on doing another playthrough of the original, I would highly recommend using deus ex randomizer for the continuing music tracks alone.(re-adds glitched/broken content and music themes continue where they left off instead of restarting.)
Masterpiece! I love all of that Hong Kong sound. The market, streets, canals, Versalife facility, night club themes are perfect and very immersive. I remember, when I was a kid and played my very first walkthough, I didn't want to leave Hong Kong because of that music and atmosphere.

Just started playing for the first time and this games soundtrack is just PERFECT! They really did a good job, i can’t recall many soundtracks that sound like this games, and considering it’s from 1999/2000 that’s fucking incredible.
Насчёт лучшей не плюсану, а вот с остальным согласен! очевидно советовать саундтрек к unreal, Unreal tournament, jazz-jack rabbit можно не советовать? А вот из нового могу посоветовать EASTWARD.
OMG 4:43 the training room - I spent countless hours on the Mac Demo amazed by this game before I even had the full copy. Back in the day when you couldn't buy or download software via the internet - I had to buy a literal boxed copy. So much of the feel and the atmosphere comes from the soundtrack; incredible work by all involved. What an incredible game.
I remember getting the demo in my dads Mac magazine and only being able to play liberty island over and over again until my dad got me the full game about a year later. Good times!
@@stevg3178 They sound familiar because they were composed by the same guys who made music for Unreal. So not really ripoffs - just more of the same style from the same guys, but different melodies.

Exactly the same here; I had a layover in NYC during my move from Florida to Baltimore, and wandered around Jamaica Queens in the earliest hours of the morning, reminiscing about Deus Ex.
One of the best soundtracks ever made for one of the best games ever made, 'nuff said. Although, I wish something more was done with the franchise these days. Even if I only learned about the game only a few months ago, Deus Ex captivated me and I hope there will be more of it in the future.
Mankind Divided is actually quite good. At least the first half of the game feels like the original and has better gameplay. Only drawback are some bugs and the lame soundtrack, but the worldbuilding is really great.
@@M0butu I've played the original Deus Ex, Invisible War and Human Revolution. I haven't played Mankind Divided yet, but only because I don't have anything that can run it well enough to at least be playable at the moment. I hope I'll be able to play MD someday. I think the first game is the best, but I liked Human Revolution a lot as well. Invisible War had it's downsides, but I overall enjoyed it for it was. I constantly replay the first game though since it's just so much re-playable, especially with mods... That makes me wonder a lot about what it would look like if the first Deus Ex game received a remake, complete with all of the scrapped features and levels from the beta of the original game. If only Eidos weren't currently busy making Marvel games and had some leeway, I think that would be possible.
This soundtrack reminds me of having all the free time I had as a teenager to totally get lost and this world. Amazing game. I loved every single minute.
Listened to an old podcast where one of the artists from this game was in, he was happy to talk about it but he asked the interviewer, people still play that old game? He had no idea, do developers move on from their work in games that easy? And here we are 20 years later getting nostalgic about the ost 🤗 still one of my favorite games ever.
I mean yeah, it was a job to them. And then they moved onto the next thing that paid the bills. That's how art goes. They don't forget about the old stuff, but you get obsessed with your new projects. I don't think it was about him moving on at all, it was about him being surprised that ANYONE ELSE cared about what he'd made. 20 years is an eternity in gaming.
"It started with LEGO Mario calling out for his brother Luigi. And before humanity could blink, a neural net of interlinked LEGO Nintendo figures took control of the eastern seaboard." - JC Denton
1:52:51 The Return to NYC theme is so similar to one of the themes of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (also composed by Alexander Brandon) it's almost the same theme, and once I've heard it, I can't unhear it.
Oh man, this game... 20 years later I am still amazed by it. I can't forget. wow... the nostalgia, even the technology. I remember at the time I was in high school, and I went up to my biology teacher to ask him a few questions on the terms mentioned in augmentations. He didn't have a clue what I was talking about...
Back in the day the games actually had to offer interesting concepts, a story and immersive music since they could not rely on good graphics. God I miss those days!
I had the honor of having this amazing game in the original disc when I was a child. Stupid me throw away the disc and now I'll regret it all my freaking life.
I grew up on UT and then Unreal, love the games mostly for the soundtracks. Without previously playing Deus Ex, I've fallen in love with the soundtrack and Conspiravision (2020) album (even bought the Vinyl edition). Only then, this year, I played the game, it's great, especially for 2000!
cannot overstate how powerful the soundtrack was to the narrative of this game. the MJ12 and UNATCO Escape themes sent your mind reeling as you came to grasp with the betrayal, lies, conspiracy, and gravity of the situation that was unfolding for JC and his brother. the overwhelming feelings of isolation and disillusion, trapped within MJ12's black-site.. straight to the paranoid, venomous, rattlesnake bite of UNATCO's dirty little secret..
Bob Page : Your appointment to fema should be finalized within the week, I've already discussed it with the senator. Walton Simons : I take it he was agreeable ? Bob Page : Oh yes, when I mentioned he could be put on the priority list for the ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
Big Pharma could have made a lot more money if they colluded to restrict supply of the vaccines. In this crisis however they went beyond the Bob Page model and have created no less than five variants with another six variants emerging from the Wuhan prototype by end of July 2021. Endless crisis, endless profits, unlimited power.
When I first played this I thought I had to write every code and note down irl. I played in the dark on an old crt monitor, with a big sound system hooked up to the pc. This soundtrack was like playing a new album that was fast becoming a favourite.
I think that today's game developers should be mandatory before being admitted to game studios, play Deus Ex to relearn what it means to make a quality game. With a masterpiece soundtrack. Simply one of the best games ever made.
Why can't they make somewhat intelligent, atmospheric, tought provoking games like that anymore? I look at this year's E3 and I wanna puke (well, there are a few titles that might be good but who knows). I know, old man yells at cloud, but seriously...
They won't, because games like this don't sell. It's more worth it to make a great-selling game which will be forgotten in a month, than to make a cult classic such as Deus Ex, because even though peopke still talk about it 21 years later, it cannot ever sell well enough for them. Games were an art form, now they are a product.
I played this game right after beating Thief so I played it until about halfway with mostly non-lethal takedowns. I eventually found out that a quick burst of pepper spray and the baton was one of the most powerful combos in the whole game. However... when I got the super murder death sword in Hong Kong, I used it to gib anything that was immune to pepper spray. Amazing game with a stellar soundtrack. Play thief 1 and 2 before this if you've never played an immersive sim before as extra credit. System shock 2 is supposed to be good but I tried to play it right after beating Deus Ex so I was too burnt out to play another cyberpunk immersive sim right after.
Not only is this one of the most delightfully comprehensive collections of the Deus Ex soundtrack found anywhere, I was thoroughly surprised to see that someone had dredged my remix of the UNATCO theme off of Soundcloud and included it - cheers! PS. Where's Yahtzee's lyrical version of the theme tune though? 'It's a shootah! And a roleplaying game! The levels are ugly, and everyone looks the same...'
UNATCO theme sounds close to Human Revolution's ambients, particularly Sarif Industries and the Precinct. Great theme. Also, love the vibe of NYC streets' ambient.
I love this soundtrack always, but it's especially fun to listen to the conversation tracks outside their usual context. It tends to fade into the background while dialog is going on - which is excellent design - but it's a chance to really tune into the tracks.
I love "Begin the End", it was so marvelously perfect for the start to the final level. Without words, it says "I'm taking your whole operation down. Starting with a redirected nuclear missile in your face."
The 1st track reminded me way too much of the 90s X-Men cartoon theme mixed with other familiar elements. I muted the game’s soundtrack after stage 1 and went the whole game while listening to spotify or ambient in-game sounds only. Awesome game. Then a friend who I recommended this to brought up the soundtrack and i had forgotten I muted it! So now im listening to everything i had skipped. I played this around 2008. One of greatest games of all time!
It's been 20 years since the game was published and if the graphics and the clanky animations have aged terribly, the OST hasn't aged a bit. Amazing soundtracks.
This game has such an interesting soundtrack, it really goes with the themes of the game. It sounds like the tecno is taking control of the mildly lyrical parts, which are also ironically not actual people
My nostalgia is augmented

Exactly the same here; I had a layover in NYC during my move from Florida to Baltimore, and wandered around Jamaica Queens in the earliest hours of the morning, reminiscing about Deus Ex.
I hate it when official soundtracks don' t include all the tracks. Thanks man.
I love this ost so much thank you for putting it up. Brings back so many memories playing this as a kid
One of the best soundtracks ever made for one of the best games ever made, 'nuff said. Although, I wish something more was done with the franchise these days. Even if I only learned about the game only a few months ago, Deus Ex captivated me and I hope there will be more of it in the future.
Mankind Divided is actually quite good. At least the first half of the game feels like the original and has better gameplay. Only drawback are some bugs and the lame soundtrack, but the worldbuilding is really great.
@@M0butu I've played the original Deus Ex, Invisible War and Human Revolution. I haven't played Mankind Divided yet, but only because I don't have anything that can run it well enough to at least be playable at the moment. I hope I'll be able to play MD someday.
I think the first game is the best, but I liked Human Revolution a lot as well. Invisible War had it's downsides, but I overall enjoyed it for it was. I constantly replay the first game though since it's just so much re-playable, especially with mods...
That makes me wonder a lot about what it would look like if the first Deus Ex game received a remake, complete with all of the scrapped features and levels from the beta of the original game. If only Eidos weren't currently busy making Marvel games and had some leeway, I think that would be possible.
Human revolution was really disappointing and had a childish story with choices almost as bad as Fallout 3.

Here's hoping Embrace does something cool with the franchise. Please, God, let it be good. Please.
My Fav: 1:23:08 The Synapse (Hong Kong Streets)
This soundtrack reminds me of having all the free time I had as a teenager to totally get lost and this world. Amazing game. I loved every single minute.
Incredible soundtrack what an legendary game
Listened to an old podcast where one of the artists from this game was in, he was happy to talk about it but he asked the interviewer, people still play that old game? He had no idea, do developers move on from their work in games that easy?
And here we are 20 years later getting nostalgic about the ost 🤗 still one of my favorite games ever.
I mean yeah, it was a job to them. And then they moved onto the next thing that paid the bills. That's how art goes. They don't forget about the old stuff, but you get obsessed with your new projects.
I don't think it was about him moving on at all, it was about him being surprised that ANYONE ELSE cared about what he'd made. 20 years is an eternity in gaming.
1:44:10 is a direct DEVO rip (or tribute). I can't remember the exact name of the song but this is the riff almost exactly, right down to the rhythm.
Thanks for having this.
I am glad you included those remixes, they are pretty good!
Still the best game ever.
Thanks, man ! This is one of my favourite soundtracks of all time !!

Ah yes, interdimensional energy vampires hoping to prevent us from transcending them into the wider universe.

1:52:51 The Return to NYC theme is so similar to one of the themes of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (also composed by Alexander Brandon) it's almost the same theme, and once I've heard it, I can't unhear it.
*FIVE* hours! How is it I've never come across this before? Hell yes. Thank you!
Still awesome after so many years - Alex Brandon is a genius :) This OST still gives me goose bumps up to this day :)
I heard a crazy rumor that every time you hear the name Deus Ex, you end up reinstalling the game and playing it again 😄
I did it on one occasion, after listening the main theme. XD
False, because that would require to uninstall this gem in the first place.
Oh man, this game... 20 years later I am still amazed by it. I can't forget. wow... the nostalgia, even the technology. I remember at the time I was in high school, and I went up to my biology teacher to ask him a few questions on the terms mentioned in augmentations. He didn't have a clue what I was talking about...
Best video game soundtrack of all time! Kidneythieves from Invisible War is now my favorite band as well.
1:23:08 The Synapse (Hong Kong Streets) This is the best for me, most of them are good but this one is my fav.
Back in the day the games actually had to offer interesting concepts, a story and immersive music since they could not rely on good graphics.
God I miss those days!
I had the honor of having this amazing game in the original disc when I was a child. Stupid me throw away the disc and now I'll regret it all my freaking life.
ebay
I had the OEM disc that only had the first 3rd of the game. Of course nowhere did it actually mention that it was a demo, not the full game.
Do not stress over it. Most of my old game disks are unreadable due to damage and whatnot. Digitally immortalize it all!
the game is so cheap on Steam, it barely matters.
might as well just pirate at that point. Or buy it from GoG
I grew up on UT and then Unreal, love the games mostly for the soundtracks.
Without previously playing Deus Ex, I've fallen in love with the soundtrack and Conspiravision (2020) album (even bought the Vinyl edition).
Only then, this year, I played the game, it's great, especially for 2000!
cannot overstate how powerful the soundtrack was to the narrative of this game. the MJ12 and UNATCO Escape themes sent your mind reeling as you came to grasp with the betrayal, lies, conspiracy, and gravity of the situation that was unfolding for JC and his brother. the overwhelming feelings of isolation and disillusion, trapped within MJ12's black-site.. straight to the paranoid, venomous, rattlesnake bite of UNATCO's dirty little secret..
Bob Page : Your appointment to fema should be finalized within the week, I've already discussed it with the senator.
Walton Simons : I take it he was agreeable ?
Bob Page : Oh yes, when I mentioned he could be put on the priority list for the ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
Why contain it? Let it spill over the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets.
@@furydeath walgreens is glowing so hard rn
Corona vaccine
corrected it for you
Big Pharma could have made a lot more money if they colluded to restrict supply of the vaccines. In this crisis however they went beyond the Bob Page model and have created no less than five variants with another six variants emerging from the Wuhan prototype by end of July 2021. Endless crisis, endless profits, unlimited power.
@@tommyslavic898 youre letting the video game get to your head man
Wow I can't stop listening to 2:30:42 those memories are great!
Nostalgia... even after all these years... I can't explain it... every few years...
I love the intro song, thx for making this video
When I first played this I thought I had to write every code and note down irl. I played in the dark on an old crt monitor, with a big sound system hooked up to the pc.
This soundtrack was like playing a new album that was fast becoming a favourite.
I think that today's game developers should be mandatory before being admitted to game studios, play Deus Ex to relearn what it means to make a quality game. With a masterpiece soundtrack. Simply one of the best games ever made.
this music is great on a day off from work
Why can't they make somewhat intelligent, atmospheric, tought provoking games like that anymore? I look at this year's E3 and I wanna puke (well, there are a few titles that might be good but who knows). I know, old man yells at cloud, but seriously...
I think that era is slowly but surely coming back, but it's meerly a matter of time
games are made by corporations now, not people who are passionate about anything but returns
Because games are a PRODUCT now. It's basically 1980s all over again. Until they dump a shitpile of ET games in the desert they will never learn
They won't, because games like this don't sell. It's more worth it to make a great-selling game which will be forgotten in a month, than to make a cult classic such as Deus Ex, because even though peopke still talk about it 21 years later, it cannot ever sell well enough for them. Games were an art form, now they are a product.
Because the majority of video games have fundamentally lost their souls.
This soundtrack is so good.
It goes really well with the game streets of rogue
Battery park, UNATCO conversation and liberty island conversation are definitely my favorites, amazing game.
I played this game right after beating Thief so I played it until about halfway with mostly non-lethal takedowns. I eventually found out that a quick burst of pepper spray and the baton was one of the most powerful combos in the whole game. However... when I got the super murder death sword in Hong Kong, I used it to gib anything that was immune to pepper spray.
Amazing game with a stellar soundtrack. Play thief 1 and 2 before this if you've never played an immersive sim before as extra credit. System shock 2 is supposed to be good but I tried to play it right after beating Deus Ex so I was too burnt out to play another cyberpunk immersive sim right after.
Not only is this one of the most delightfully comprehensive collections of the Deus Ex soundtrack found anywhere, I was thoroughly surprised to see that someone had dredged my remix of the UNATCO theme off of Soundcloud and included it - cheers!
PS. Where's Yahtzee's lyrical version of the theme tune though? 'It's a shootah! And a roleplaying game! The levels are ugly, and everyone looks the same...'
Thank you for posting this. It has helped me study for years.
Battery Park sounds like something out of an SMT Strange Journey sequel, I love it!
This is what the other parts of the series were missing: Unique memorable places with unique memorable sound tracks.
17:35 refreshing 😌
3:10:16 I always look forward to the Walton Simmons fight
This game honestly may be tied with Chrono Trigger for best video game OST of all time in my humble opinion.
I'd have to hand it to FF8 imho
UNATCO theme sounds close to Human Revolution's ambients, particularly Sarif Industries and the Precinct. Great theme.
Also, love the vibe of NYC streets' ambient.
one of the best games of the last decades, I Loved it :)
Best OST of any game from all time.
Composed by the great Alexander Brandon.
Thank you
I love this soundtrack always, but it's especially fun to listen to the conversation tracks outside their usual context. It tends to fade into the background while dialog is going on - which is excellent design - but it's a chance to really tune into the tracks.
I love "Begin the End", it was so marvelously perfect for the start to the final level. Without words, it says "I'm taking your whole operation down. Starting with a redirected nuclear missile in your face."
The 1st track reminded me way too much of the 90s X-Men cartoon theme mixed with other familiar elements. I muted the game’s soundtrack after stage 1 and went the whole game while listening to spotify or ambient in-game sounds only. Awesome game. Then a friend who I recommended this to brought up the soundtrack and i had forgotten I muted it! So now im listening to everything i had skipped. I played this around 2008. One of greatest games of all time!
Thanks for the upload man ur the fucking best
Intro Sequence gets Doom64-ish at 3:18, then becomes Twinsen's Oddysey-ish at 3:46. Thenm it becomes Deus Ex-ish again.
"Conspiravision" sounds a lot like a remix of an Unreal Tournament track.
The main composer also did the Unreal games' soundtrack.
The GOAT OST
Best version ever
I need Deus Ex 2000 remaster!!!!
Go outside: here you go, More DLC on the way...
I like 2:21:21 shame it isn't longer with that rhythm it has
It's been 20 years since the game was published and if the graphics and the clanky animations have aged terribly, the OST hasn't aged a bit.
Amazing soundtracks.
Good sound is good sound, timeless!
This game has such an interesting soundtrack, it really goes with the themes of the game. It sounds like the tecno is taking control of the mildly lyrical parts, which are also ironically not actual people
'Majestic 12 Conversation', 'UNATCO Escape Conversation' and 'Chateau action' are something else.
22:54 sounds like something you would hear at a nightclub rave for house.
keep this 5hrs of this stuff on youtube !!!!!!!!!!!
