The amazing "identify that Doom song" thread.

I know I've heard map02 before.

You should throw these at some C64/NES/Amiga music forum, I'm fairly sure they're all video game music.

Edit: map05 is Deflektor.

[Fuzzball]

Was beaten to 5! :D I just found it as Belial edited their post! XD

Map 3) Aqua - Lollipop

Map 9) Viper Phase 1 - Stage 2 theme

Map 15) Eliminator Main theme

Map 17) 3D Galax Main theme

hihi.

So I wrote that script I mentioned a few posts back, it literally took me only 15 minutes and 30 lines of python, simple stuff. Anyways, you can feed it a wad and it will compare it against every midi I have on my comp (which among other things includes a majority of all midi from vgmusic). Here's what the program spit out when I fed it "Destination Unknown":

I wasn't paying attention to which ones were named already... but well.... there ya go :D

map02:

Knew it had to be some well known C64 composer.

I noticed on this page it says map06 of dwango7 is unidentified? I'm almost positive this is Led Zeppelin, but I don't have my albums with me.. Please, if someone could help to identify it? I know I've heard the real version of this before..

trying to determine what the music from ZOF.wad MAP08 is - either it's classical music or it's night music from a western roleplaying game =P either way it is BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL. The level rocks, too!

[Ribbiks]

According to the midi meta-data it's from Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition":

I don't have the patience to sift through and find out what section exactly, but it's probably in there somewhere :D


EDIT: ok, I lied, I found it :p. it's the "Il vecchio castello" section which starts at approx 5:10 in that video.

[Tristan]

Curious as to what Slaughterfest 2012 MAP34's music is. Sounds a lot like DragonForce, but it isn't.

[yakfak]

oh my god, you're right! thanks for doing the detective work!

I'm planning to do a music wad for a bunch of levels I love, but I don't claim to outrank Mussorgsky in these matters so I'll leave that one alone, haha

"Fight to the End" by Knightrider of Doom. Available (among many other original KoD compositions) here: http://www.angelfire.com/punk4/knightriderofdoom/midis2.html


AB is a fan of using those powermetally midi :D

[Tristan]

Thanks :D

[The_MártonJános]

Dimensions of Time maps 07, 09, 15 and 26 I'm curious of (the latest I suppose bases on a "real music" track).

[Memfis]

15 is same as Serenity E3M1, "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago.

btw thanks for the Destination Unknown stuff guys!

Sure both are originated from there, but the midis are way different. It might be for a similar reason as Mark Klem having two versions of "Dry Rot" on Requiem's maps 18 and 23.

09 is "Wrong Way" by Sublime. Highly interested in map 07's source. Also I requested Real World 2 map 10 a long time ago, still curious about that one also if anyone knows.

Thanks a million, knew it was Zeppelin!

[BlueFeena]

What's the song being played in BOOMEDIT.WAD?

It sounds like something out of Princess Maker 2, although I don't recall that song explicitly. The melody sure as heck sounds like it, though.

[Memfis]

It is Pachelbel's "Canon in D".

[BlueFeena]

Whoa, thanks! I couldn't recognize it for some reason, even though I've definitely heard the first part of Canon in D in one form or another. I guess it's just a limitation of how midis sound. That, and, I think Fraggle's (very nice) sound font may have something to do with it. :P

I just found out that 26's name bases on:
Martin Page - In the House of Stone and Light
It was SOOOO obivous, since the aforementioned map's name is "Stone and Light" as well.

Oh wow, thanks.

I wasn't expecting someone to actually know, I had a feeling it might be original

That said the Alien Vendetta remaster sounds way better, haha it's probably my favorite doom midi yet. The midi is definitely better than then level, heh.

[ETTiNGRiNDER]

Speaking of Alien Vendetta, did anyone pin down the track used for MAP08 / Beast Island yet?

[Memfis]

^ Yeah, in some other thread either darkreaver or Deathevokation did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dheHMw2f9M

Now, can someone identify gem02 map15 music please? And I feel like I've heard it in some wad before, maybe somebody has an idea which one could it be?
edit: map25 sounds badass, interested in this one as well...

[The_MártonJános]

I somehow always felt that Beast Island's music is somehow Diablo II-esque, but couldn't put the feeling into any of my folders until I saw this video along with hearing the original song.

[Memfis]

pls indentify, fun piano in this song :) - http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?file=levels/doom2/s-u/thermite.zip

[Memfis]

garrulo map08, 12, 13, 20, 26, 29 please?

[Memfis]

Uhhh, is eternity.wad e2m2 song really "so what?". I listened to some versions on YouTube and they sound nothing like it, just two piano accords are kinda similar.

[Ribbiks]

def the same.

whoever arranged the midi took some creative liberties, I'm guessing it's a rearrangement of some sort, but that motif is unmistakable.
