Why was the music changed on E1M2

[AnthonyP]

I don't if there were some kind of legal reasons but, why was the E1M2 music changed? The older(or last) version was such a better track, the new one is fine at first, but it gets very tiring to listen to by the end of the level.

"New tracks in C1M2, C2M3, C2M8, MAP03, MAP12, MAP22, MAP25, MAP26, MAP27, DM03, DM06, DM09, DM17, DM24, DM31, and DM32."

 

So simply put, they decided to change it.

It's probably as simple as, someone made a track they thought fit the map better, and a maintainer agreed.

I'm pretty certain that the "new" version is actually an older track, but it was used in a different level. The "old" E1M2 that I remember is this (I love this track BTW, it's the "iconic" old Freed∞m to me):
