The amazing "identify that Doom song" thread.

[Doomkid]

Little bump and double post.. but since I'm so keen to finally get this Dwango mystery solved, I decided to make a video about it. Hopefully someone in the comment section will be able to help!

 

 

EDIT: Yes, amazing! This is working just as I'd hoped, one of the tracks has already been identified!

 

 

 

EDIT 2: I just now noticed while looking through the DWANGO article history that Revenant was disputing the claim that D5M1 is actually based on "Energizer (Cyber Space mix) by Hit the Floor (aka Dieter Bohlen)".

 

Frankly, the songs are not identical and only have a passing resemblance. I have a strong suspicion that HitFloor.mid is an "original" closely based on that song, though. Similar to how some of Bobby Prince's songs for Doom are more loosely based on existing riffs, rather than being direct copies.

 

I didn't realize all this before making my video or else I would have given more credence to it still being up for debate. I made it sound way too much like the case was fully closed, since I didn't realize it was still uncertain - it may be one of those things that just remains contentious for years to come. I'm half-content with the explanation that HitFloor is just a case of loose inspiration, although of course I'd prefer a composer name and actual solid info on the topic, if indeed such a thing is ever possible..

I always thought it sounded like something relating to a Descent game. Then again that's great to discover where the song came from.

 

I also have a copy of the game myself but it's in rough condition (I might need to consider replacing the jewel case)

[Gez]

I think I got that game from one of those "free game inside!" magazines. Either Earthsiege or Earthsiege 2, whichever one ends up with fighting on the Moon.

 

No idea if I still have the CD somewhere, though.

[Shockwav3]

Any idea what the midi for map14 from tlsd2004.wad might be?

[Doomkid]

Damn, looks like it started out as a MUS so all the metadata's been wiped.. It absolutely has that late 90's dance feel to it though, similar era and genre to that famous Skulltag Secret Level MIDI, spheares.mid

[Gez]

How about DWANGO20?

 

First, to get it out of the way, the easy ones:

D_ADRIAN	Heretic_E1M5
D_BETWEE	D7_M05
D_DDTBL3	Heretic_E1M6
D_DEAD2 	D5_M19
D_IN_CIT	D6_M01
D_MESSAG	Heretic_E2M7
D_OPENIN	D5_M13
D_ROMER2	Heretic_E2M3
D_RUNNI2	TNTEvilution_STLKS2
D_SHAWN2	D6_M12.mus
D_STLKS2	D6_M23.mus
D_STLKS3	AZD_M04.mus

Heretic and various DWANGOs.

 

Also obvious, D_RUNNIN is a variant of the infamous D5M1 song. But a remaster by whom?

D_DOOM is CANYON.MID, except butchered to MUS.

D_IN_CIT is Descent's Lunar Outpost theme, except maimed into MUS

D_COUNT2 is Duke 3D's Pissed Office Box, except mangled into MUS

D_AMPIE is Metaltech: Earthsiege's theme #2 (at least in the Mirsoft rip; couldn't find a title for it)

D_SHAWN3 is TNT Evilution's D_DEAD2, except somehow brutalized into MUS even though it was MUS to begin with?

D_ULTIMA is Hiding the Secrets, except somehow hammered into a different MUS. Of all things it matches the version that's in Community Chest 4 MAP07. Why?

D_DM2TTL is Duke 3D's Stalag 3-D, except raped to MUS

D_DDTBLU is Stevie Nicks - "Edge of Seventeen"

D_THEDA2 is an arrangement of the ingame music from the Windows version of Chip's Challenge

D_DOOM2 is Duran Duran - "Hungry Like the Wolf"

D_MESSG2 is Ram Jam - "Black Betty"

 

and at least a couple of others that I recognize but am too tired to name right now

[Doomkid]

Damn, somehow didn't see these posts in my notifications - All the Dwango20 stuff has been known for a while:

 

 

Title) Stalag 3-D from Duke Nukem 3D

1) Remix of DWANGO5 MAP01

3) Megadeth - 99 Ways To Die (Guitar version)

5) Canyon

6) Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

7) Roxette - Harleys & Indians (riders in the sky)

8) Stevie Nicks - Edge Of Seventeen

10) Les Claypool - The Awakening

12) "CHIP02" from Chip's Challenge

13) Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf

14) Arthur Brown - Fire

15) TNT MAP11

18) Nine Inch Nails - The Collector

21) "P.O.B"/"Pissed Office Box" from Duke Nukem 3D : Atomic Edition

24) Frank Zappa - Flakes

26) Ram Jam - Black Betty

28) Nine Inch Nails - Happiness in Slavery

29) TNT MAP16/26

31) South Park - Chef Chocolate Salty Balls

 

The D5M1 remix was done by me for an old project called Deathmatch Revival that didn't turn out too well. As for the random and often pointless MUS conversions, in most cases that's just how they were packaged with the maps. I think it has to do with tools being more limited in the old days, so people would extract a MUS from a wad which would be converted to MIDI during the extraction process, then they would take that - by now brutally fucked with - MIDI file and re-convert it to MUS again to get it back into yet another wad. Needless to say this resulted in some severe mangling in some instances.

 

A lot of them made the rounds too, as evidenced by one of them being here and in CC4, of all places.

 

Speaking of mangled MUS files, could anyone help me to identify this one?

 

D_DDTBLU.zip

 

I've heard this MIDI in many wads over the years, and at various levels of "sloppiness", likely resulting from MUS butchering as mentioned above. The sound and pace of the MIDI always made me think it was a Mark Klem tune, I knew it wasn't from MM1 but I went and checked MM2 and it's not from there either. Maybe this is misdirection and it just happens to sound similar-ish to his style for certain songs. I'd appreciate any help on this one

It's E2M8 theme from Cringe by Mark Klem https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/a-c/cringe6

Edited October 11, 2020 by Chainie

[Doomkid]

Thanks! Glad to know my ears were right when guessing it was Klem, too.

[Oldschoolgeek32]

I love the Map 12 soundtrack from dwangox.wad. It just has this awesome mix similar of those to rare's Goldeneye-style beats, perfect dark-style of tune, alongside Donkey Kong Drum music. I love that track :)

Still missing MAP02 and intermission theme, though.

 

 

[Doomkid]

Map02 is a common/classic one, the same song as Map02 of Dwango5, NIN's Head Like a Hole, although the MIDI is very slightly different.

[Doomkid]

Finally found Dwango20's intermission theme!

 

 

[Jakub Majewski]

A single MIDI that I found in a random terrywad. README doesn't disclose the source. Given that it's in MUS format, I am assuming it's from the 90s, but I have not encountered it in any other WAD so far. Thus, sadly, I do not know where it's actually from.

D_DM2TTL.7z

[Gez]

It corresponds to the title music in 2002: A Doom Odyssey 10th Anniversary Edition. So you can ask @pcorf for further precisions, I suppose.

Edited November 16, 2020 by Gez

[Xulgonoth]

I've recently started organising music from all the wads I've downloaded, and I have a bulk of tracks that I don't recognise and aren't stated in the textfiles or the wiki. I didn't really know about this thread until Doomkid pointed me here a couple days ago, so I thought I'd just dump all of the unidentified tracks so far onto here. I'll probably use this thread again in the future, or maybe just update this post, because I still keep on making my collection larger while encountering more music I'd like identified. But this is what I need help with at the moment:

@Deadwing Thank you, I wouldn't have really thought to check Soundcloud, but I guess it's going to be useful when I inevitably get to organising the Exomoon soundtrack as well ;)

@Gez I just got done identifying all the tracks from soundcloud... I wish I would have known about this lump 20 minutes ago :D
And yeah, I just noticed how many duplicates there are in the Moonblood soundtrack, I guess I was just too lazy to check when I was pulling the tracks from the wad.
But I'll have to go check the Freedoom's Github page, thank you for that suggestion.

[ChopBlock223]

Not entirely certain if this is properly on topic (so delete this post if it's not), but I found myself listening to that old track Danielle's Face, by Edwin van Veldhoven, which was used in Hellcore 2.0, to name some, and I wonder if anyone ever contacted him about it. Does he know that his .midi compositions were used for Doom level sets, and how beloved they are for their strong serenity? Was he ok with people using it?

[Doomkid]

That's a really good question, ChopBlock. His tunes were used in at least 4 or 5 DWANGO wads too, so they've essentially always been well known among many Doom wad players. I would hope he's glad, I'd have never heard his amazing song otherwise. I couldn't even find a clean and "pure" rip of the song on YT, I'll be uploading it shortly, it deserves to be heard even by non Doomers.

Dwango10 Map10. When I first heard this MIDI as a kid I was like "oh, that's definitely a Team TNT track right there". But I guess it's not, surely one of the composers would have stepped forward and owned it by now. So, if not from Team TNT.. Where did this very Doom-like MIDI even come from?

 

DC Dwango Map14. Yet another MIDI that I just kinda absent-mindedly credited to Team TNT when I was younger, but once again I guess it isn't. Were people all over the internet in the 90's just accidentally pooping out really cool "Doom, specifically TNT" style MIDIs or what?? They remind me of Map11 from Icarus (Stomp.mid) but clearly they weren't by JDoyle or he would have told us forever ago.

 

How could I be so right and yet so wrong at the same time? These tunes are, in fact, by JDoyle! I friggin’ KNEW it, the style similarity shined through.. Why did I assume he had already been asked about them?! That part was a completely baseless assumption!

 

Oh well, at least this mystery is solved once and for all!! NO more holes in the Dwango soundtrack - I knew this case would be laid to rest one day. WOO!

 

(check the latest comments in the YT video at the top of the page if you want to see the word from JDoyle himself. Also a big thank you to DookNookim for contacting JDoyle about this mystery and doing some very helpful investigating)

I'm looking for the old Demon Eclipse soundtrack. The one songs I identified are from classic megawads (Requiem, STRAIN) so I suppose the others likely are as well.

D_CAVERN is frustrating, not the first time that track has come up and I don't think it's been identified yet, unfortunately I can't even think right now where else I've heard it.

de-ep1.pk3: D_OPOST2 is Toxic Seahorse's theme from Mega Man X3, D_TEST is "Lightning War" from Raiden.

Thanks. For Toxic Seahorse, it sounds very close to "Toxic Seahorse's Stage (3)" from VGMusic (Toxic_Seahorse.mid), it's not the exact same file but it must just be an older version or something. Same author. No difference I notice when listening to it anyway.

 

For Lightning War, though, it doesn't match either of the two tracks here. So I downloaded a bunch of other Raiden tracks, and it corresponds to "Rough and Tumble". The GS version (Rdn1stg2.mid) by nZero seems the closest match, though pitch and tempo seem slightly modified -- perhaps an artifact of the MUS conversion.
