Miracle of Sound: The New Black Gold 2013 (Deus Ex: HR)

[John P. Hackworth]

I was expecting "Cries of a Dead World" to pop up, but this works too.

Speaking of which, does anyone know exactly what Cries is about?

Its about Wasteland 2, a Fallout style post apocalypse RPG

Wasn't Fallout based off Wasteland?

The circle is complete.

Compared to the original, this one feels too clean, too robotic. ...Well played Mr Dunne.

Thank you for being the first person to actually realise the meta meaning of the song

I was amazing to get the same feeling i did the first time i listened to this, Thank you Gavin!

Do I detect DE:HR Director's cut in video?

Man, this is better than the original. It makes me really pissed that I bought the old version on iTunes just a few months ago.

One of my favorite MoS songs a little different now. The guitar riffs are more subdued in the chorus and more synth, with the drums less heavy this time around, but there's more gameplay footage, and I see you used clips from the old [h+]3 trailer, before the game had the official name. I'm not complaining, just pointing out what's different, but well done, Gavin!

This original is probably my favorite miracle of sound song and while the new remix is good I'm afraid I'm also on the team that liked the original more. the synth sound of the original seemed a better fit and the elements seemed to merge better. not sure if that has anything to do with the meta thing mentioned but as to preference I definitely prefer the first.

Just noticed this remastered version. Like zvate, the original is undoubtedly one of my favorite Miracle of sound song coupled with Normandy. Still like it but I'm leaning towards the same opinion that many have already voiced. This version feels a little cluttered, compared to the original.

I think I'm with the "this is not a match for the original" crew. This sounded almost flat to me. Lifeless in places. A lot of the lyrics just felt wrong for me too. That's not to say it didn't have its moments, there were a few that were rad as I could ask for, but as a whole I feel this song is only okay. It's still the only Miracle of Sound song I have any complaint with though.

I also liked the original better, it was more 80's, and therefore more cyberpunk. Also, the verses vere more subtle and calm, with the backing vocals (the octave above) giving that surreal atmosphere to them,. I like the chorus and the ending here more than in the original, but overall the old version works better as a whole and as a cyberpunk anthem.
