Holy shit, those beautiful keys and all-round Reverb surrounding the already cool Drum rhythm are no joke, probably the coolest battle theme I’ve ever heard for a rich-class setting! And if its atmosphere isn’t heck of 90s sounding, I don’t know what is. Shame it barely gets heard in-game at all unless you deliberately do the single battle section here very slowly, but I understand why that is:
Lead designer Harvey Smith wished for this area to feature no enemies at all, to fit the story’s tone and context at this very moment as you explore to take in the atmosphere, but clearly, someone, most likely the composers or their friends, didn’t want this kickass track to go to waste, and you know what, I respect both sides!
The more I think of it, the more I believe I should’ve let this track stay on Day 1, because in the initial randomization I did for the list’s order, this awesome track did in fact take the spot for Day 1, no cheap tricks or anything behind it, especially seeing as the original Day 97 that I thought would be a good Day 1 track to start off the list, that being “Forgotten Strategy”, unfortunately lived up to its name in every sense of the phrase
I'm glad that the original Deus Ex is still a fairly popular game, 'cause playing it for the first time 20+ years after its release means I missed out on a lot of the initial hype, probably. 😩
im backkk, im feeling better now, my throat still hurts anyways but all the other stuff i had, like; headaches and fever have been cured, so im good now!
i will try to get back into the groove as quick as possible, for now i will share a little doodle page i did for the comeback!, thats all bros.
