All the music is electronica but they tend to incorporate a lot of orchestral and choral samples as well, giving an epic, futuristic, and almost spiritual feel to some of the tracks. Usually computer game soundtracks have lots of filler tracks but this isn't the case with the DX:HR Augmented Edition soundtrack, partly because it's a sampler, and partly because Michael McCann does an awesome job of setting the mood for a cyberpunk classic. Sure the dance track is decent and I guess it's appropriate (it's a track about a brothel after all) just don't expect me to be blaring this track on full through my speakers! There aren't many tracks on this soundtrack, only 12 which is really more of a sampler, but most of the tracks you have here are pretty high quality, with the exception of the sleazy HongHua Brothel track that consists of women moaning.

Name: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Augmented Edition Soundtrackīefore I get into the review, thought I'd just raise the caveat that the soundtrack I'm talking about is the Augmented Edition soundtrack.
