There's a lot to cover with the game, so I'm not surprised he doesn't cover the music. But the soundtrack is great! I still listen to it regularly. I like the UNATCO music best. Each track has a regular theme, and switches to variations on the theme for combat and other situations. Pretty unusual in 2000 and even today.

UNATCO theme is absolutely legendary, and so are many other tracks in the original.

I actually got chills during the surprise post-credits scene in Deus Ex: Human Revolution when the og Deus Ex theme started playing.

Hong Kong Streets FTW! I remember having it on a playlist with my kids in the car.

I loved the theme changes on them -- I remember HK Streets had explore, combat and death scene; transitions felt seamless in the game.

I’m on a metal discord server where the soundtrack regularly shows up in people’s weekly/monthly charts. Amazing music.

I can recommend the HD remix.
