Nikku4211 Posted May 12, 2022 Spoiler I still remember using a MIDI of this song for one of the levels in a mapset I made, because it was a map about as weird as this map by an eagle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

DiR Posted May 12, 2022 I remember D_RUNNIN the most, whether I like it or not. Numerous tests of mods, maps, and whatever have you burned the melody into my earholes. Jokes aside, I love "One Night In Neo Kobe City" from Snatcher (MAP01 of AUGER;ZENITH). It's just something that rolls together the experience of seeing the whole city from the starting area, and once the bassline kicks in you start playing the level. Good stuff all around. There's also this really good MIDI rendition of T-Square's "Samurai Metropolis" which was included in a T-Square MIDI pack post that someone posted on here a while back (The person who posted it escapes my memory). It's amazing that each part was articulated with all the bass slides, brass swells, and e-flute vibrato. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Sena Posted May 12, 2022 I can tell you that the most unmemorable midi is the Terminator theme. It's a decent song and all, but in my experience probably the most overused one out there. During the 90s, if anyone wanted to implement music in their WAD, for some reason they were probably 5x more likely to use the Terminator theme instead of just another song off the Doom soundtrack. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
resle Posted May 12, 2022 Tristan Clark, AORTA, from Sunder's "The Harlot's Garden" and Panophobia's "Hemophobia". I have been listening to it for 2 years now, on an almost daily basis. There's something about it that makes it impervious to saturation. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
LadyMistDragon Posted May 12, 2022 "Icicles" which appears in prokects like CC4, Stardate 20X6 and 12 Days of Doomas, but might be best used in "180 Minutes Por Vivre." Catchy with a sense of grace, yet undebatably rocking and with a sense of genuine emotion, it's definitely my top midi. I could also list plenty of others, but I think one will be enough for now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

tonytheparrot Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) There are so many midis I could name, but I will limit myself to 11: Fight the Logic if You Can by Dashiva (also it's remix in the midi pack) The Mucus Flow and Grove midis by B.P.R.D Entering by Esselfortium The Forgotten God, The Infinite Labyrinth and Ionian Isolation by Tristan Clark Brutal Schism by Jimmy Imaginarium and Alien Jungle by Stewboy Grandfather Clocktower by Varis Alpha Edited May 12, 2022 by tonytheparrot Added Varis Alpha’s midi 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted May 12, 2022 7 hours ago, Sena said: I can tell you that the most unmemorable midi is the Terminator theme.

During the 90s, if anyone wanted to implement music in their WAD, for some reason they were probably 5x more likely to use the Terminator theme instead of just another song off the Doom soundtrack. I was looking through like 10 different 1994-1996 shovelware discs, and although most maps had no MIDIs, on the rare occasion they did, there was at least a 50% chance it was the Terminator theme. I always assumed 90s wads re-used the same 20ish MIDIs over and over and over (Terminator theme, Mission Impossible, Das Boot and a bunch of classical MIDIs) because some popular BBSes, FTP servers or very early sites probably only had small-ish handfuls of MIDI files to put up for download. It has to be something along those lines. Once the internet started becoming more commonly available in the late 90s and early 00s I remember the number of MIDIs out there to pick from skyrocketing! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post
erzboesewicht Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) Some of my favourites include (I think all are original compositions for Doom PWADs): Grosstown Traffic by Zan-zan-zawa-veia (yakfak), used on Finely Crafted Fetish Film (I think it was MAP04). Really well made funk track with interesting harmonies. Womp, by esselfortium, used in BTSX E1 (already mentioned), always dream of hearing a remix of it at a club at >6 AM Desk Lamp by stewboy, used in Sunlust MAP04 and Ancient Aliens. Like the way the track flows naturally even with its odd time signature. Liquid Luck and Weather Warning by Jimmy, from the BTSX series Night Bats by Mark Klem, from the Memento Mori series. Very atmospheric, one of the best "night"-evoking tracks. Hiding from the Robo-Zombies by mouldy, from Going Down. Could have also chosen others from that mapset.

Llednar Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) If I can only choose midis from the maps I've actually played, then my favorite is an unnamed (at least I wasn't able to find its name in text file or anywhere else) midi from Invasion Level 1 Contamination. If I can choose anything I've seen on youtube, than my list of favorites is pretty standard, I think: Mucus Flow, Fight the Logic if you Can, and Industrial (From Hellcore 2.0, though I heard it in Sunder first).

Smouths Posted May 13, 2022 Ah, so many great songs to pick- tbh, I doubt I'd have quite the same love of music if it weren't for some of my favorite wads' soundtracks. Despite that, the first thing I remembered when I saw this thread was Haddaway's "What is Love?" playing in the Doom Legacy version of DSV4 by Kaiser, so... welp. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Origamyde Posted May 13, 2022 There are exactly 2 Midis which fit this criteria in my brain : Fight The Logic If You Can from Alien Vendetta's Map20 (Misri Halek), and Atmospheric Pressure from Back To Saturn X - Episode 1's map05 (Total Exposure). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Zulk RS Posted May 13, 2022 Honestly a lot of the music in Ancient Aliens was very memorable. That aside, for me some very memorable midis would be: Empyreon MAP08 music. It was also used in MAP04 of Cybie's Freaky Colonoscopy. I don't think anyone knows what it's called or who made it though. Kinda mysterious 2012 by Jimmy in ZDCMP2. Space Train by stewboy in MAP11 of Ancient Aliens. Featherfall by stewboy in MAP07 of Ancient Aliens. Gold Rush by stewboy in MAP13 of Ancient Aliens (Not sure if this counts but...) Starshine by Purple Motion in MAP02 of Dark Tartarus. Mercury Rain by Skaven in MAP09 of Empyreon. Forgone Destruction from Unreal Tournament used in... the map "Mad Space" of Pro-fucking-Doomer. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Uni Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) NewDoom Community Project II MAP24 - "Floating Relaxing Tones" by Digital Brain Music Studio. DBP05: Coffin Curse MAP02 - Untitled by bigolbilly. Back to Nirvana X: Episode One MAP24 - "Orinoco Flow" by Enya. I'm really interested in the source of the first one since I have not being able to locate it's origin.

Pierrot Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) "Epitome II" by Blut Aus Nord, that can be heard in Slaughterfest 2012 map30. Sounds like the perfect theme to me for an epic battle against the armies of Hell. Already mentioned, but I'm also fond of "Ionian Isolation" by Tristan Clark, from TNT: Revilution map12. Just breathtaking. Edited May 13, 2022 by Pierrot 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

monoe1996 Posted May 13, 2022 Somebody already mentioned it but Hate Machine from the MIDI soundtrack of Sigil is the most memorable to me. I did not expect music that was as awesome as it was when playing the wad initially, so it was shockingly good. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post
