Deus Ex: Human Revolution hit RPG-hungry gamers like a tidal wave of sci-fi goodness earlier this year. There are going to be some top contenders in 2011 for best RPG. This, Skyrim, and a few others will be at the head of the pack.
And these triple-A titles haven’t disappointed in terms of music, either. Next month, Jeremy Soule’s mammoth soundtrack (four discs!) for the aforementioned Elder Scrolls title will hit. But even with all that music, it has tough competition in the form of Michael McCann’s amazing score to DX:HR, whose official soundtrack was published (CD and digital) by Sumthing Else on November 15th.
We (specifically, Gideon) already wrote about the game (including a lengthy section about the music) back when it was released. But now that an official soundtrack is out, we’re talking about that too.
If you want the short version of why I love this soundtrack, I think it’s just that the music works great both in and out of context. But if you want more details (and I know you do), you’ll find them after the jump. (more…)
