The amazing "identify that Doom song" thread.

[Nine Inch Heels]

Not sure if it's been asked yet, but does anybody have an idea what that "song" in deus vult2's m 23 is called? Or who made it?

[baja blast rd.]

The DoomWiki entry says "Crocodile Cacophony (K. Rool's Theme)" from Donkey Kong Country 2 by David Wise, sequenced by Andreas and Savas Oulassoglou. 

[Nine Inch Heels]

I never thought a donkey kong game could sound that epic...

 

EDIT: Also, silly me for not checking the wiki, but sifting through the entire readme of that wad... :/

That's where I thought it would be too. It's incredibly amazing the readme has no basic info on the midis used when it includes stuff like this. :D

                    "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious

                    "Every act of conscious learning requires the 
                     willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. 
                     That is why young children, before they are aware of 
                     their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why

                     learn at all." - Thomas Szasz

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (BASED ON HACKER ETHIC)
IN THE CONTEXT OF DOOM

I believe that access to anything (i.e. tools and information) that furthers 
the intellectual development of the individual should be completely 
unrestricted. Furthermore, I believe that unlimited access to such things can
free the individual's intellectual abilities from many socio-economic 
constraints; a talented programmer in India can explore his/her potential
just as well as any programmer in the Western world, provided the resources
that Freedom of Information brings.

Freedom of information in the context of Doom Modification, it is a virtue 
to be generous with your work and their resources. If you created something 
like a texture or map, allow it to be used in future projects. Try not to go
around and limit others from using what you've made, after your work is done,
leave it be, move on, don't clutch onto your work and render it dead with
copyrights and self-important permission to do this and that, don't make it 
hard on others because of ego; let it grow by giving it away so others can 
develop it... after all, John Carmack was generous enough to give away 
Doom's source code, from which we are able to evolve Doom as a nonprofit 
community through many sourceports and projects that kept Doom fresh through 
the test of time and made it all the more beautiful in the end.

^And that's not even a significant fraction of the readme to begin with...

Finally have some songs to share with the thread. I culled all these midis from Doom 2 X-Treme and its sequel Doom 2 X-Treme Gold, however some of these I have heard in at least one other place. There's no metadata with these so that's a no go, unfortunately. Almost all of the other music from these two wads I was able to identify, even very recently, but these last few's sources are eluding me.

Map25 music also appears in slayer.wad in the intermission, no idea where it really comes from though.

 

Gold Map20 is Floghorn from Duke 3D Atomic Edition.

Gaaah, of course it'd be the most nondescript, forgettable song in the game. I don't even like that level much either.

[Varis Alpha]

does anyone know what song this is a MIDI of? i think it's a really nice song, but i don't have a clue where it could've come from.

 

 

actually, there's a bunch of songs from the megawad i find interesting, but don't know where they come from. i'll link a few more videos here, but i'm mostly interested in the first one i showed.

[Varis Alpha]

ah, a pretty excellent resource there. i got filled in on pretty much all the music i wanted to know about, so thanks a lot for redirecting me to there!

[galileo31dos01]

WAT? A megawad with names from train stations from my city Buenos Aires? HELL THAT'S MY SHIT

[The_MártonJános]

I'm particularly interested in the JokeWAD called It Only Gets Worse.
What I know:
- MAP03 and MAP11 use modified OST, MAP14 uses an intact one, and MAP04's track is one of the reject compositions for the original game.
- MAPs 07, 08, 10/16 and 17 have Grant Kirkhope's compositions for the Rare games Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie. (This doesn't include the "boss battle" theme, which is played on MAPs 08, 10 and 12 when an overpowered and partially invisible Baron of Hell/Hellknight is fought.)
- Everything else that is not included above would be a pleasure to me if you could tell. ^^

MAP18 is "In the Grip of Madness" from PSX Doom (Hell Keep, The Factory, The Mansion), compressed to buggery.

 

Also MAP07 of that WAD was actually one of the first videos I saw when discovering Doom existed for PC and people made mods for it, this must have been back around 2008 and I haven't seen it since then until now..thanks I think? xD

[nicolas monti]

Any clue of Mr Smiley head safari E1M1, E1M4 and E1M6 songs? I've been looking for them since 1997

New Music               : Yes I FORGOT WHERE I GOT IT, BUT IT RULES.
                          I GOT IT OFF OF THE SUPERPAC CD-ROM I THINK.
                          FROM COMPUTER LIFE MAGAZINE

They're all MIDI, but none of them have useful information.

Sorry for the bump but I found the source to these songs. Heres the disc the text file mentions https://archive.org/details/ComputerLife_SuperPac_Ziff-s_Publishing_1995

 

You can find them in demos > blueribn > psstyles > basemidi

[Memfis]

Wow, that's awesome uhbooh! Downloading...

 

Super noob question: what is the song in Map03 of Nordhell? It's something mega popular.

[Tristan]

 

[SatanaInArte]

Hi,it's me again.I need your help to identify this song i found long ago in a midi compilation file.I discovered that this midi was used here,but the author didn't insert any info about the songs just "New music for DOOM, DOOM 2, and HERETIC by Green Day, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and more!".

The song:d_inter.zip

Can somebody identify these 2 songs? I found them on random midi replacement wads without proper credits.

midis.zip

[Tristan]

D_BETWEE is supposed to be Even Flow by Pearl Jam. heh, I've heard legendary tales of evenflow.mid, but this was my first time hearing it. Don't know what D_STALKS is, sorry.

Edited April 1, 2018 by Eris Falling

[Jimmy]

D_STALKS is Rush's "YYZ".

[Bashe]

I did some sleuthing in an attempt to identify one of the midis I brought up in a previous post, as I heard the midi again in another wad, and apparently it's supposed to be a song from Donkey Kong Country 3, but I couldn't tell you which one, because the midi doesn't resemble any song from the game. I found the midi listed as "dkc3undr" on a page, which gave it away as a Donkey Kong Country 3 midi, though sometimes it was also listed as "Alien" or "Aliens", which it certainly isn't from. The midi itself used to be on VGMusic once upon a time, but is no longer there, only accessible nowadays through the use of archive.org.

 

So yeah, I guess it's a DKC3 midi but not a very good one.

[Tetzlaff]

Other way round - I accidently discovered this song on Soundcloud and it really resembles a well known Doom song:

 

[Bashe]

The Scythe intermission music is the Warp Zone theme from Goonies II for NES. I randomly came across the midi while trying to source other ones, so that worked out great. Consider the mystery solved!

[EdwunclerIII]

i have been looking for the songs of these midis for a while now, but i cant find them. midi.zip

any help is appreciated, thanks.
