The melodic treatment here is also especially expansive, capturing the inherent lyricism that featured throughout Kirkhope's Banjo works within a much darker mood. "Chicago: Stealth" is a beautiful complement to the rainy cityscape with its downbeat opening motif and only immerses further as it develops to incorporate a wailing synth lead and a Collins-esque drum beat. Though all the stage themes on Perfect Dark are highly enjoyable, some stand out as particularly exceptional. In each case, Kirkhope nevertheless ensures the compositions are still attractive for stand-alone listening with rich timbres and catchy hooks. The epic opening riff of Extraction meanwhile is perfect for representing the descent into darkness and the soundscaping thereafter is perfect for exploring the eerie and chaotic twilight. Investigation captures a feeling of infiltration with its various catchy piano grooves, though still reflects the danger and importance of the situation with a rousing military interlude. For instance, the themes for the other two missions in DataDyne Central continue to capture the nature of the building with deep electro-acoustic soundscapes, while representing novel aspects of the gameplay. The rest of the stage themes, most of which were created by Grant Kirkhope, develop the foundations set by Norgate. With elements of danger and moments of revelation, the entire composition is an excellent fit for climbing a futuristic skyscraper of a corrupt corporation. Furthermore, there are major improvements to the synthesis and the samples, while not hyper-realistic, bring plenty of subtle moods and emotions to the game. However, the soundscaping is somewhat mellower to represent the feminine protagonist and electronic rather than rock fusions are offered to emphasise the futuristic sci-fi setting. Many elements of the composition resemble Norgate's previous work on GoldenEye, from the slow-building bottom-up development, to the appearance of various melodic fragments, to the overall tense atmosphere tinged with heroism. Graeme Norgate's theme for the first stage "DataDyne Central: Defection" sets the tone for the entire soundtrack. The music proves just as enjoyable for stand-alone listening as it does as an accompaniment to the game.
