Apparently there's a soundtrack CD available. Haven't managed to find it for download, though.

Enclave?

back in the day there was talk around the office about releasing a soundtrack. don't know if anything has happened on that front since I left sbz, but who knows? There's talk on teamxbox about a xmas present, but that's turned into a new years present, could be the soundtrack.

...had really cool tunes to match this great game. Even sounded good on crappy soundcards.

Blood (the first game) had good music in it.

Thank you!

I would certainly buy Enclave soundtrack, because it's the best game soundtrack I've ever listened to so far. It would be a shame to rip it off instead of buying a silver cd of it =(

There's a thing which amazes me. If they don't want to release it as standalone CD, why won't they release it as downloadable MP3? It costs them nothing then, either cash or time.

Scragbait--> I suppose that all of Blood tracks are available in MP3 format in Transfusion Quake conversion.

welcome to the 90's wrath. Quote tags do exist! and they're SOOOooo easy to use! just put '<' and '>' around a 'q' and copypaste that plagerized text! and then close 'em off with a '</' before and a '>' after the 'q'!

yay!

Doom, Doom II and the Playstation version of Final Doom; Quake, with honorable mention to Purusa's Neh tracks; and Blood, mainly because it uses its own wavetables. Wonderful.

Incidentally, if anyone can explain why Blood has started soft-resetting my computer for no obvious reason, please let me know.

Yay!

Blood music and texts rawked =)

Jeez, If You Are Going To Go That Route,

don't forget the calmly serene music of Tetris. I bet it drove Vondur nuts.

Hehe

I have a techno remix of the tetris theme on my comp. so lame, and yet so awesome. ;)

DUnno if it's good or not, but I seriously wanted to get it based on the stuff I heard from it, but I can't find it anywhere. The shit I heard was fuckin cool tho. Very nice stuff :D

descent. best soundtrack ever. played through that game just to hear all the nice tunes :)

daikatana is another one with great soundtrack.

Never Heard Descent's Music...

#47 posted by grahf on 2004/01/11 02:32:20

But Descent 2 had cd-quality audio, done by Type-O-Negative and a few members of Skinny Puppy. ^_^ It was pretty intense as I recall, I should dig that out...

Another game I remember is Mechwarrior 2. Sorta a tribal/orchestral hybrid soundtrack, also pretty cool.

games with bad soundtracks... Quake 2 and Quake 3, yuck. generic industrial rock. :/

#48 posted by PuLSaR on 2004/01/12 16:27:39

and I also still remember Warcraft 2 soundtrack. Absolutely not annoying and very athmospheric.

Yes, I know I luv midi :)

? Hm?

#49 posted by MisYu on 2004/01/13 09:43:42

war2OST was released on a game CD tho, got everything in mp3 anyway

???!!

Why on earth has no-one mentioned SYSTEM SHOCK 2 yet? What the hell is wrong with you people. Now that's the kind of music games should have.
