I think because it tries to emulate a specific music style while still keeping the majority of the original song. Downtempo electronica, I'd guess. Almost like Bonobo, but more tied to electronica rather than emulating jazz.
It, as well as Lost in the City of Lights, received 5* here. It's harder to describe since it's in the synthy techno electronica area, but I'd say it's Dance Techno Electronica...Like an uptempo Royksopp remix if you're familiar, but with more of a high-pitch 8-bit type sound.

Hey, cool.
...heading to the site now.
Also, sometimes there are effects written as notes into the tracks (ie: the beginning of "Synapse" or the "UNATCO HQ" tracks where the melody is written with a delay in mind to form a counter-melody with the original phrase. If you look at the track in the tracker program a simple algorithm wouldn´t be able to identify this. You´d have to implement phrase recognition features and my guess is that is much more troublesome and un-educational than a DIY approach.
So in short no. But you can open the tracks on a tracker program and have fun for many many hours. I know I have...

DX music is in .mod format, which works like a modified MIDI file -like a MIDI file with the appropriate soundbank attached-. This proprietary soundbanks (for lack of a better term) are put together by the composer, sometimes even on a song by song basis. And the sounds that comprise them are not necessarily setup to reflect the actual pitch the sample is sounding. So if you open a DX music file on a tracker program and you sit down with a piece of manuscript paper you might be able to actually transcribe the track, but an automatic conversion would be subject to error in the given example.EER wrote:Is there any sheet music for DX tracks?

There's a new DuClaire remix, as well as an album of remixes out on the page, by Auteur Theory.
Also, iTunes was shuffling, and it came across a song that I thought was from Deus Ex. Unrelax, by The Wretch, on the Ambulatory album-

It can be downloaded as an mp3 by opening the m3u IIRC and downloading the link. It's been years since I got it.
