In-game music is not so well balanced. There's a little too much call-back to Deus Ex music, so much so that it stinks of desperation. Even more jarring is the background music on the various radio programs you come across - they use a lot of Deus Ex music, slightly modified, but very recognizable. This produces multiple levels of cognitive dissonance. This is supposed to be a prequel, a generation at least before the original Deus Ex game. I doubt they're trying to say something meaningful here, they just thought hey let's throw in a little fan service. I appreciate the effort, but in a game context it really ruins whatever immersion you may have going.
Anyway, the background music in your apartment is beautiful and haunting. Between that and the ambience (especially when you first walk in), it feels very Bladerunner. This sounds like it should come across as really fake or cliche, but I think they actually got it right, and this is no small accomplishment. I hope there's a good quality soundtrack available sometime, I would love to just loop this in the background for days.
