Here are 2 fun facts: This video was recommended by Warren Spector himself! I got the heads up by a subscriber whose comment is now sadly deleted (I had pinned it so I'm quite sure). twitter.com/Warren_Spector/status/1148942998820085763 facebook.com/warren.spector/posts/pfbid034wBXgRxeM1MLZHWTf7zrESfxyrPHeG8t235nq3bMvb8chTywCmtoFcVagyMfwiJ1l The mixing was done in real time using my virtual console and not through video editing. Basically sat through this for 1+ hour because it felt good "DJing" Deus Ex tracks.
I used to enjoy treading on those vacuum bots in UNATCO headquarters. They would actually become frightened of JC if you damaged them and become frenzied. Ahh happy days.
And to think after this era of gaming, the whole industry would take a nosedive into a massive crash of shitty loot boxes/cosmetic unlocks. Truly the golden era of gaming. RIP 95-2006
@@killobot2388 No, it didn't. That's what y'all should start to understand. The game was made surrounding what conspiracies were popular at the time. They fictionalized most of that. Nothing "prophetic" about it, it's just the way the world works. Coming to think of it, nothing ever changes.
Just hearing the soundtrack brings back memories, doesn't it? 17 years ago I remember the lights off, black light tubes on, my AV amp at high volume, a tall glass of rum & cola and Deus Ex. For me, that was heaven back then.
Even now, in 2024, we are still listening to this amazing score and sharing fond memories of playing the game 🤩 This speaks volumes to the sheer quality of the work that went into both 🙂 The Deus Ex-games were an amazing game series and features hands down some of the best game-scores of all time.
Thanks for uploading this, memories of a difficult young life, made so much better by dark long nights playing this, the escapism to this story stays with me always, going to those pubs and clubs in those worlds, trying to be a good guy, taking too much zyme (literally, my screen resolution went all funny even after reloading it still was all zoomed in and messed up. Had to load an earlier save. Don't do pretend drugs kids! But yes what a game, what a world, what a story. Nothing like it will be made for the foreseeable. A different time when small studios could forge the vision of a very few writers and producers. Magic times.
28:59 "I need you to escape. I can cut power to the door only a few seconds without being detected. Get ready." Such fond memories. This is the moment i fell in love with this game as a kid.
The part where JC approaches Alex in Hong Kong with "I know who you are...DAEDELUS" and Alex is just like "what? who?" says so much about how the writers knew exactly what they were doing. In any other game that would've been the twist, and Alex would've been your sidekick--here, there was something much more.
I've actually started playing this game about a week ago, after keeping it in a drawer for an eternity. Those chime-like notes on Lebedev's airfield have instantly became classic to me. The whole soundtrack is beautiful. Thank you.
Super nerdy comment here, but I like the slightly sinister "chanting" bit at the start of the UNATCO track. It reminds me of Gregorian monks; not only does it sound authoritative, it's like a subtle hint embedded in the song itself that UNATCO has ties to an ancient conspiracy. Given they explicitly say that Manderley was involved in wiping out the Knights Templar, I wonder if this is actually a deliberate nod from the devs. (Shame the modern games are nowhere near as smart...)
I never thought of it this way. Though there is reason in your thinking, I personally thought of it not as a hint that points to some ties to a cospiracy, but giving a feel that there is more to the tune (and the location) that cannot be interpreted the first time you hear it, but gets quite obvious later in the game. Which now that I'm reading it, it's more or less the same thing you said :P This feeling gets more intensified (imo) in the GOTY soundtrack, which is more "punchy" and has more authority. I like the original better, however.
@@steviemcdonut is that string synth you can hear in the background, it has a phaser and heaps of reverb though, so i guess it sounds a bit like chanting
Good old days. First game I've ever played. I was only seven back in 2000. Didnt even speak english, didnt know that the player actually can save his/her game. Best days :D Cheers to every fan!
@toplinefool444 They've almost taken over. They're going to be the ones to bring forth the masked totalitarian revolution. Tyranny is activated by useful idiots who think they're liberating their country with a revolution, but really, what they're doing is clearing a way for their intellectual leaders to step in and rule with an iron fist.
First track already brings back memories. "I'm here to take all your ammunitions and equipment. Thanks for your cooperation, agent." Yeah sure. Take everything. It's not like I tossed every single LAM and weapon right past your window, so I can get past you and collect everything again.
The only level which completely blew our minds away...... I remember falling from my chair and hitting my head hard, when I (by mistake) used GEP gun on some crates, it broke away and inside were several heal bots... What a discovery... And that underwater shotgun... Man I love this game
Played the game 10 times easy, maybe more and still didn't figure that one out. Great game, but I'd say Hong Kong is the best hands down. Never seen anything like it at the time, and the Maggie Chow plot was great.
@@Planetdune Oh yes! That's where I started. Then graduated to modplug. It was because of this game, Unreal, Alexander Brandon, Michel Van Den Bos, and accompanying mod trackers that I even started composing music on modplug tracker. To this day, these tracks are "breathtaking". We can do a Keanu here! Lol! Btw, am still using Winamp for regular music :D
@@KooYu isolated chillout is for weaklings, ambient will always be superior. Who wouldn't want to listen to dystopian ambient tracks on a cassette tape while getting groceries during the 2020 corona epidemic?
Man i will always love this game , played it like 50 times , know every detail of the original game ,and still love it . Remember i had the demo from a magazine , and played it at a friend ( didn't have a PC at that time ) , and when i got a PC and played it i was so thrilled ......this memories .....
Same here, I had the demo from a magazine that had reviewed it. Played liberty island 100+ times and was emotionally attached to it, heh (you can see liberty island theme is the longest in the mix).
@@KooYu Same here , and it was so fun and thrilling , i remember i was so scared of the security bot guarding the entrance to the statue of liberty . So much fun not like the games now , shoot everything :(
Ah. 2022 and I still come back here to listen to these sounds. I think this still remains the most interesting games I've played till date. Will definitely be remembered as one of the greatest in the history books. Well done. Thanks again for uploading this KooYu.
Really nice mix, excellent selection of tracks! I listen to this when studying and to just have it on in the background, when surfing the internet. Good job!
I played this game for the first time when i was around 7-8 years old and didn't go beyond the training mission. I couldn't appreciate the game at that time and English being my second language(which i had about 5years experience of learning at that time) it was hard to understand all the words in the game. Then I randomly decided to try the game again for nostalgia sake when i was in college. Man was i blown away! the story, the mechanics, the choice based gameplay, the dystopian environments and of course the music! I finished the game for the first time in 2015 and could not believe how great it is for a game that came out in 2000. I played it several times later on and still found new stuff that I had missed the previous time. This game is one of my all time favorite and I wish I could play it for the first time again. P.S: Remember the sick guy at Battery park who asks you to kill him? - I look forward to taking him out every single playthrough. Its one of my fond memories of this game lol.
This is really good stuff, would be perfect with the Chateau music in there as well but this is a great mix and really helps with boring Monday workdays.
Thanks for making this. I'm working on a video about the synthesizer that Alexander Brandon used for most of his tracker music works like Jazz 2, Deus Ex, Unreal, etc, and this is perfect background music for editing :)
I remember playing Deus Ex back in 2001, on my trusty Pentium 200MMX with 64 mb RAM and RivaTNT2(16mb). The framerate was awful, barely playable. but I still managed to get to Hong Kong... And got lost in all those canals and streets :)
Timeless. I like the new games, but they never quite caught the atmosphere of this one. I think the new ones are a tiny bit too scifi. (didn't play Mankind Divided yet though)

now do a combat mix
Good man. DJing it is probably easier in realtime anyway.
Mixed it by yourself and not in a lazy way? What a chad, we need people like you in UNATCO
I used to enjoy treading on those vacuum bots in UNATCO headquarters. They would actually become frightened of JC if you damaged them and become frenzied. Ahh happy days.
So awesome, I listen to this mix often while I draw and work on games :D
To this day, UNATCO is one of the finest pieces of game music ever made
Unforgettable openning notes. Immediately recognisable.
When I came back to this game after 20 years that music hit me hard man. Nostalgia overload.
I think is way better NY streets 1
And the finest gane ever made!
Agree! If you missed it, you could give a try to the TF29 track of Deus Ex Manking Divided which had some excellent similar vibes too.
And to think after this era of gaming, the whole industry would take a nosedive into a massive crash of shitty loot boxes/cosmetic unlocks. Truly the golden era of gaming. RIP 95-2006
it can always come back, like a phoenix from the ashes

The golden age of gaming. I wish I could experience it again
My nostalgia has been augmented.

Waking up in the mj12 labs and then that awesome song comes in... and you have to escape...boy the thrills are way too much.
I made that song my ringtone but I got so excited by a sense of mystery everytime I received a call, it ruined my life and I had to change it

2years later... did you do it? Just curious lol no shame either way, this game was alot to me also.
I like this at 2am when I'm still working

those coconuts in cathedral hit different
Unatco has something to it.
I cant put my finger on it, but it feels like walk in your favorite shoes during a nice breeze.

Love this for studying...
Bravery is not a function of firepower... it’s a function of sweet sound waves.
Man at some points liberty island song sounds like it could be on dbz
45:11 that synth sounds like the opening chorus of the Macross DYRL song "Oboete Imasuka" to me
One: That's terror. Two: That's terror.
Fun Fact: I played through roughly 8 times before I realized you didn't have to go out the window.
I like this cut of the track
Some parts of "Training facility" sound just like Boards of Canada. Good stuff.
deus ex ost is very much like the first unreal soundtrack
Great playlist! Thanx a lot ... brings back so many memories ... guess I am getting old:):)
Just what I needed, thanks!
Also how did you achieve this sound quality? Other uploads don't sound like this, this feels like i'm actually in the game.
It's mixed directly through the Unreal media player.
Love this so much, the next best thing to playing the game!
I love this game so much
UNATCO is a banger!
fantastic playlist
I love this game.
