## Methods of Destruction (non-)update

Re: Methods of Destruction – The alternate Quake soundtrack
Sascha Dikiciyan / Sonic Mayhem keeps ignoring my attempts to get in contact. Since we all know that internet petitions work (yeah, right) I made the new poll about it. Well, maybe it will actually work and change his mind. :]

By the way, it turns out that the Quake – Arcade Tournament Edition (follow-up post coming some day) was using the Methods of Destruction soundtrack.

The previous poll’s (“Do you own a legit copy of Quake?”) results were quite devastating. One third of the participants only have a “copied copy” of Quake. Does this also mean that all of them never played with or even heard the original soundtrack?

   Well it’s hard to get boxed originals in my country, thus I still only have a ‘copied copy’ (I’d love to pick up the original if I ever had a chance). That doesn’t mean I haven’t heard the soundtrack however – man, half of the atmosphere lies in the ambient work of Reznor. In fact, I have all the expansions with their audio tracks; too bad they don’t offer the same quality (Malice is an exception) – I went for the original soundtrack as a companion to my recent replay of Scourge of Armagon. The only one I haven’t heard in full is (as you might have guessed already) Methods of Destruction. ;)

   In my case that’s true.
   I’ve never played Quake with the soundtrack.

   I still have my original cd. The original soundtrack is freaking awesome, great atmosphere. I dare to say that 40% of Quake “awesomeness” is the soundtrack.

   I also never played Quake with the original soundtrack, that’s why I really would like to have it… If it is as good as distrans’ Travail soundtrack, it will be a hit !

   JPL: This is not the original soundtrack. It’s an ALTERNATIVE one, not related to id Software. The original one by Trent Reznor is indeed a hit, even better than the Travail score.

   I admit it, I am one of the people who have a copied copy of Quake, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t heard the original soundtrack! I downloaded it (Yes, I did :() and it’s awesome! It gives the game that lonely, scary atmosphere. It’s also good for occasions when you read a horror story or similar :) Although despite all this I wish I can find an original copy of Quake :/ I live in Sweden so it is NOT easy to find one. Perhaps they sell the Ultimate Quake collection, but I already have the original copies of Quake II and Arena… :(

   I have the original copy. I don’t use music from it very often though. I don’t like the noise of rotaiting cd.

   Please convert it to mp3, and use winamp to play it in the background… then no more CD rotating noise ;)

   BTW, if you do so (i.e converting CD to mp3), upload the stuff somewhere, and please provide link :D !!

   Just search for Quake soundtrack on Google (I don’t think anyone is gonna provide a direct link here), it’s already available in plenty of places.

   2 originals here; one DOS and one of The Offering. The DOS CD is kinda f–ked though.

    Be aware that those titles are made-up.

12. JPL Says:
    21.08.2009 18:58

    So what are the real track titles ? those that you are referring to ?

13. Spirit Says:
    21.08.2009 20:42

    There are no track titles. You could name them track 1, track 2 and so on.

14. Anonymous Says:

    stuff starts at track 2 by the way

    I listened to the music yesterday, and it is quite good… However, the internal informations show that it has been done by NIN (Nine Inches Nail)… interesting…. :|
    I downloaded WipeOut as well just to check the content, and this is the correct music list, so I guess Quake soundtrack is correct as well, despite the track 1 story :) but who cares ?

    Enjoy !!
