"Blackreef" opens with the kind of bass-driven groove that tells you this island is equal parts dangerous and stylish, while "Updaam" captures the crumbling glamour of the game's most iconic district.

"You Have No Class" carries this confrontational funk edge, and "The Revenant" underscores Julianna's hunter-and-prey dynamic with something dangerously playful. This is a selections album rather than the full score, so it distills twelve tracks that capture Deathloop's essence.
"Sun Goes Down" and "Eternal Deathwish" carry the weight of the loop's existential trap, while "Deja-Vu" closes things out with the recursive quality that defines the entire experience. "Fristad Rock" and "Karl's Bay" give you the geographic flavor of two very different parts of the island.
Every track sounds like it belongs in a Saul Bass title sequence.
