The 'New Black Gold' refers to: 1. Human augmentations. In the world of Deus Ex they have become the new ethically controversial 'great commodity', much like oil or slavery in the past - both of which have been referred to as 'Black Gold' and caused great suffering for the sake of greed. 2. A pun on the game's colour scheme
This song is what started me listening to you, I can still remember my friend calling me over in grade 7 to check out this song from this great artist he knew. This was that song, and you were that artist Gav. Since that day I have listened to your music most every day and have loved almost every song you've released. keep up with the great music :D
+MrKillbox7 According to a convo I had with Gav around when it released, that's actually deliberate; this original is meant to be more "human", and the latter version is meant to be more "mechanical".
No matter how many times I hear this or how many new songs you make, I continue to think this is the most enchanting and amazing song you've made Gav. Its just so, so good.
It's very nice to see an intelligent and polite philosophical debate happening in my comments section - an all too rare occurrence on UA-cam. Keep it going guys :)
I'm not sure why but this game is in my top ten of all time. I love the cyberpunk Renaissance feel, and all the ethical problems with augmentation that the game showcases. And this song captures that feeling perfectly, keep up the good work man!
My hubby has been a great fan of the Deus Ex series and wanted to get me hooked too - it took one listen to this song and I was caught - hook, line and sinker. So thank you for introducing me to a fantastic game :)
As much as I appreciate this awesome compliment, I think I would have a hard time topping that phenomenal credits music from Deus Ex HR! That shit blew my mind the first time I heard it
hands down my favorite song of yours by far and i've loved every song of yours i've listened to. thanks for letting such phenomenal music escape from the depths of your mind for the listening pleasure of us all, and thanks to the game devs for creating the games and igniting the fires of inspiration.
This was the first MOS song I ever listened to, and it got me hooked on all the other great pieces you have done. Mr. Dunne, you are a master at your craft.
Love this one, especially the chorus-ish part ( Search my electric soul, etc.). One of my favorites from the songs you`ve made, awesomely done indeed, Gavin.
I can't stop listening to this song! I've listened to it for like two days straight and it got me through one of my Finals! Thank you for developing your talent and using it in such a wonderful way!
Your songs always capture the feelings that the game primarily is trying to convery, but I think you deserve special mention for Deus ex HR. This song matches the game so completely you are truly awesome!
I'm never able to just listen to this just once when I start listen to it, its so amazing, the sound, the lyrics, everything about this songs just makes me want to have this on constant repeat both on the computer and in my head
Deus Ex Human Revolution forever in my heart, miracleofsound you did a insanely fenomenal job to really match this song with the actual game, wether it was intentional or not. Thank you!
Absolutely. The whole Deus Ex universe is amazing, and Human Revolution was stunning. Great story, good intregue, and easy responsive controls. One of my favorite games in recent years.
God this game was good. I need to play it again - I keep my old Xbox 360 to replace the Mass Effect trilogy and this game. Since ME is getting a remastering in early 2021 that leaves this game. Totally worth it.
I am SO addicted to this song, and the video simply fits it perfectly! Definately one of your best works - I went from 0 to 100% MoS-fan within the songs 5 min. playtime! :D
This in my opinion is by far the best version of the song. The newer ones moves too quickly and sounds too loud to match the emotional vibe of the lyrics. Also, I really dig the "electronic tone" of the vocals during the "Your secret science..." part. And those lyrics... they perfectly sum up the adventures of Adam Jensen and Deus Ex's universe.
Good thing I can just get this video into my music folder and play it as music with the Music App while playing a game, with the added bonus of looping. Smoothly.
Damnit. Everytime I listen to one of your song's I get the urge to play whatever game or watch whatever show it is about. There arnt enough hours in the day for that!
A-MAZE-ING. Just had a repost on the largest Deus Ex group on the internet over on Deus Ex Universe Hub. Fantastic! We are amazed and quite pleased with the music! Please do another one for Mankind Divided, it was great!
@ Joro Krustev He probably said that because there is a newer version of this song from 2013. So that's what makes this one the "old black gold". Still i like this version more.
I know, Right? I'm running through each and every of his songs, And i like all of them! I've never known an artist which made me go 'Woah..' about -all- his works.
I'm not sure if you read comments and I feel like you're very talented, but you try to push out the songs too fast so you catch the hype of the games release; but you took your time with this one and as with many of your other songs it came out FANTASTIC! Thanks Gavin :)

makes sense

This was that song, and you were that artist Gav. Since that day I have listened to your music most every day and have loved almost every song you've released. keep up with the great music :D
Alas original songs are very hard to spread on UA-cam, but thank you for the kind words :)
This song has a completely different feel to the 2013 version; I like them both, but I think this one just resonates better with me.
Dashamburger I think whatever 'flaws' this one had, make it the song it is...without them, it's still good, but not quite the same.
+MrKillbox7 According to a convo I had with Gav around when it released, that's actually deliberate; this original is meant to be more "human", and the latter version is meant to be more "mechanical".
That's pretty meta.
This version is ten times more beautiful! 😍😍😍
Me too.
No matter how many times I hear this or how many new songs you make, I continue to think this is the most enchanting and amazing song you've made Gav. Its just so, so good.
Ev the Odd - YEEEEES!!! 😁 I have a *LOT* of *love* for this song!!!
Square Enix needs to talk to Gavin and put this song on the ultimate edition of Human Revolution. You know it makes sense.
As this song is awesome.
They have amazing music but shit marketing. They need to work on their presence.
It's very nice to see an intelligent and polite philosophical debate happening in my comments section - an all too rare occurrence on UA-cam. Keep it going guys :)
Yes indeed
I'm not sure why but this game is in my top ten of all time.
I love the cyberpunk Renaissance feel, and all the ethical problems with augmentation that the game showcases. And this song captures that feeling perfectly, keep up the good work man!
this song made me buy the game.
Hey! Lockstin!
Hi!
Saw some UA-cam videos about an engineer who lost his hands working on making a fully functioning prosthetic and it reminded me of this song
My hubby has been a great fan of the Deus Ex series and wanted to get me hooked too - it took one listen to this song and I was caught - hook, line and sinker. So thank you for introducing me to a fantastic game :)
As much as I appreciate this awesome compliment, I think I would have a hard time topping that phenomenal credits music from Deus Ex HR! That shit blew my mind the first time I heard it
impressive music and video-material. i bought the game because i liked what i saw in this video :)
Reminds me of Cyberia game.
"Slave to the new black gold, there's a heartbeat under my skin. Search my electric soul for the hidden man within."
I've been humming this all day.
This song made me want to play this game...
Was not disappointed!
Reminds me of Cyberia game.
Definitely the superior version, keep this, always.
In a decade or two this song won't be JUST about deus ex anymore..
It will be wonderful and terrifying at the same time.
yah but i want to run up the side of a building and if im a cyborg that will be great
Jean-Adrien Oikonomou purist, android, mutants ??
in many ways we're already here, just without the cool cybertech.
@MemeticMindset ... not my arm?
hands down my favorite song of yours by far and i've loved every song of yours i've listened to. thanks for letting such phenomenal music escape from the depths of your mind for the listening pleasure of us all, and thanks to the game devs for creating the games and igniting the fires of inspiration.
This was the first MOS song I ever listened to, and it got me hooked on all the other great pieces you have done. Mr. Dunne, you are a master at your craft.
This song gave me a feel.
Still a banger in 2021
Love this one, especially the chorus-ish part ( Search my electric soul, etc.).
One of my favorites from the songs you`ve made, awesomely done indeed, Gavin.
I can't stop listening to this song! I've listened to it for like two days straight and it got me through one of my Finals! Thank you for developing your talent and using it in such a wonderful way!
Every time I start a new game in Deus Ex HR I turn this on when the rebuild Jensen. It fits PERFECTLY. Awesome work!
Your songs always capture the feelings that the game primarily is trying to convery, but I think you deserve special mention for Deus ex HR. This song matches the game so completely you are truly awesome!
Gav's songs can market a game better than any ad campaign ever could
Great job. These are some of the best lyrics from any of your songs.
This is my favorite one of your songs. Packed with emotion, story and great sound. I love it.
This song has been on my Itunes and Bandcamp site for 6 months
This blows my mind every time I hear it, you're on the right path to topping it man!
Truly one of your best songs, I can't get tired of it!
I love both versions on your channel of this song, this old one and the one you did as 1 hundred special ^^
Of all of your songs, this is the one that gets stuck in my head the most often. I'm always humming it at work. xB
I'm never able to just listen to this just once when I start listen to it, its so amazing, the sound, the lyrics, everything about this songs just makes me want to have this on constant repeat both on the computer and in my head
Not a day goes by without me listening to it, also i can hear it in my head all the time...Great job.
I think I am addicted to this song. Thank you Miracleofsound!
I'm addicted to this song ever since I discovered it (in other words, since Jensen himself/Elias Toufexis tweeted it). Awesome job, LOVE the lyrics!
This is practically "the" music video dedicated to Deus Ex, grabbing all of its glorious moments! I love (you) this man!
one of my favourites. great work, MoS.
This song is so addicting...good job! I can't stop listening to it...
This song is absolutely fantastic. You captured the atmosphere of the game perfectly.
As long as I've been waiting for. Now I can finally do the song to my Favorites. Thank you so much. :3
This was really good. My favourite song out of all the ones by you I've listened to. Also currently playing Human Revolution so its extra awesome.
Gavin, you are just amazing. Please keep up the great work man!
Deus Ex Human Revolution forever in my heart, miracleofsound you did a insanely fenomenal job to really match this song with the actual game, wether it was intentional or not. Thank you!
Not many channels on here actually make me want to subscribe but yours was a no brainer mate.
Keep it up XD
I just can't get tired of listening to this song. Amazing work!
Absolutely. The whole Deus Ex universe is amazing, and Human Revolution was stunning. Great story, good intregue, and easy responsive controls. One of my favorite games in recent years.
This is one of my absolute favorites of yours...
One of his best songs now on UA-cam, nice one Gav :D
Still my fave song of yours Gav. Keep up the awesome work.
God this game was good. I need to play it again - I keep my old Xbox 360 to replace the Mass Effect trilogy and this game. Since ME is getting a remastering in early 2021 that leaves this game. Totally worth it.
The lyrics are in the video description :)
I am SO addicted to this song, and the video simply fits it perfectly!
Definately one of your best works - I went from 0 to 100% MoS-fan within the songs 5 min. playtime! :D

And those lyrics... they perfectly sum up the adventures of Adam Jensen and Deus Ex's universe.
Heh i have listened to this song like 10 times today, your music really helps my work day go a lot faster, thanks Gav :p
one of my favorite songs of yours!
God This is an amazing work you have done here.
That last scene made me want to play this game. Good work man
That's such a creative title, props man. Oh and by the way, you deserve so many more views than you have.
I listen to this song pretty much everyday. I never get tired of this, so darn good song.
Good thing I can just get this video into my music folder and play it as music with the Music App while playing a game, with the added bonus of looping. Smoothly.
Gotta love the "Hit SUBSCRIBE for many more gaming" annotation at the end of the video. Nice work, Gav.
Awesome song, one of your best in my opinion. Great work.
When I'm famous in Hollywood for my writing, MoS is going to win an Oscar for composing my movie's music. Even though the Oscars are bullshit.
+Vic Vinegar Can I be the producer ?
Patrick can I be the stunt dummy?
Damnit. Everytime I listen to one of your song's I get the urge to play whatever game or watch whatever show it is about. There arnt enough hours in the day for that!
One of your best so far
This is CRAZY GOOD!!!! You keep up the good work!
I love your songs Mircleofsound!!!! you amazing every song you do is amazing keep up the great work.
Very cool! I was looking for something like that. Something like "real songs about my favorite games". It is really cool idea!
This song is amazing, Miracleofsound you have made a true masterpiece, good job fine sir. Already on repeat ;)
Cyberpunk's new Black Chrome book brought me back here. still excellent.
Not sure why, but I feel this is your best song by far. The lyrics are genius.
Truly amazing. Keep up the good work.
Awesome :)
This song deserves way more views and likes than it has. It really is brilliant.
Dude,
how fucking dare you, Adam never asked for this.
Daniel Kline i fokn wot m9?

You deserve to get paid to make these, you have no idea how many people decided to try out the game BECAUSE of your music/videos.
Great work! Love this song so much!
Dude Im Gonna Share with the 200 people in the dorm im living in all of them love this type of music :D
A beautiful song for a beautiful game. It's something to hang on to. Thank you.
Wow, that's pretty special man... Good job!
One of the best Songs/Games i have ever played/listened to
A-MAZE-ING. Just had a repost on the largest Deus Ex group on the internet over on Deus Ex Universe Hub. Fantastic! We are amazed and quite pleased with the music! Please do another one for Mankind Divided, it was great!
Possibly my new favourite song of yours. I thought Normandy couldn't be topped, but it has
How does this only got around 30k views? You deserve to have a few million at least.
Its a fucking wrap, im playing through the whole series again starting tonight.
awesome as always
Finally this song made it to youtube!
My personal favorite.
I came here to write same words. This song is brilliant, thanks so much, Miracle of Sound.
dude this is fricking awesome.
You could say this is the Old Black Gold :))
@ Joro Krustev He probably said that because there is a newer version of this song from 2013. So that's what makes this one the "old black gold". Still i like this version more.
@xxXXRAPXXxx
I concur.
I know, Right? I'm running through each and every of his songs, And i like all of them! I've never known an artist which made me go 'Woah..' about -all- his works.

As always, Amazing.
As always, just EPIC!
Probably your best song combined with an amazing video. Kudos! Too bad there aren´t more games in Cyberpunk-Environments...
just started playing this game again... so badass.
There are no words to describe the epicness of this song and the game.
