OCR00754 - Doom II 'Gothic Sandy'

[orkybash]

Doom 2 'Gothic Sandy'

So much quality tonight! Pretzel, you're gonna have to post some real stinkers to make up for this. :D j/k, of course. Anyway, mazedude is quickly elevating himself to one of my favorite mixers. Not much to say about this one, other than it's doom, it's techno, it's Mazedude, and it's perfectly executed, and if you can't find a reason to download it in that list then there's no helping you.

[Dev]

Chalk another one up for Mazedude. This remix rocks. It's perfectly executed, and a blast to listen to. That vocal sample was great, really took me off guard. Download this now.

[Flamewave]

Wow. Very good. Starts off with a sort of FM synthy thing going on, and builds up to that gasp, then breaks out into a great groovable wonderfulness. I was bobbing my head to the beat, thoroughly enjoying it. I think the vocals off to the right channel were a good touch, adding to the atmoshperical gothicness.

Overall, a good ReMix.

(Hey, look, my first post here. :P About time, I say...)

[Dekkon]

I've waited so long for a good remix of this song! And then BAM! this is it! Great quality, great voice synth, great beat, great SONG!! Highly recommened!!! Woo!

[NSR::Neko]

Okay, to be honest, I'm still downloading this as I write, and so far I'm only done loading one minute of it, but this remix is amazing on so many levels. It's truly become my favorite Doom remix, not only because it was my favorite Doom song in the first place, but because of the amazing vocal samples on this baby, the great industrial/dance beat, and the *GASP* effect at 31 seconds. Loved that. All in all, IF YOU DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS, YOU ARE EFFECTIVELY INSANE, BECAUSE THIS ROCKS. ^^''''''''''''''

Oh yeah... Mazedude, I'd kiss you, but you know. =P

[MB]

oh, baby! listening to this, i can picture legions of the undead rising from their graves and dismembering small children.
mazedude managed to completely evoke the gothic eeriness that should have accompanied the original doom 2 game.
bravo!

[AvangionQ]

This has to be the best Doom 2 mix I've heard since E1M1 ...
Man, does this ever bring back memories of the good old DOS gaming days ...

[DJ DeFlanko]

Awsome mix...worth d/ling..

yes the intake breath in the beginging is definatly an ear catcher..
bass line would be nice.. but why? when the noraml song brings back so much memories of the dos games... i cant stop listening to this song.. and the mono distortion in the beginging sorta makes you feal faded out from the song back to sitting in front of the screen blowing away imps.. so good..

ohh what i would give for a rocket launcher and doubble barrel shotgun ... and iddqd....

BAHHH must play this game now...

[ella guro]

Mazedude has always been an a top contributor to this site, and I love pretty much all of his remixes, but I've got to say that this one feels a bit lacking to me. There's some variation, but I guess I expected to sound different than it did. Anyway, it's still a quality remix and definetely worth your time...

[neostormx]

I havnt heard this one yet, but i can assure you it will be amazing. Mazedude is genius. downloading now.

[EvilZereno]

KICK ASS! this song rocks, keep em comin

[Tamimi]

[EldritchEvil]

Hurrah! My first sample of Mazedude was his River City Ransom remix, and that made him my second favorite remixer. And now he comes out with this masterpiece. 'grats to Mazedude for being a man of musical talent.

[Hamu-Sumo]

I think the E1M1 remix is a little bit better than this. Of course, it sounds great but something I don't like it. I don't know what it is^^;; Maybe the sound which plays permanent... What I find good are the background. That sound cool!

7/10 (1=worst; 10=best)

[JTD121]

I was listening to this Doom II remix, and it sounded so familiar. And a few weeks before this song was posted on OCR, I had started playing Doom II again, just for the fun of it. And then I heard this song, and I played through the game until today, when I go to the level that had this song in it...Oh, if only Doom II let you put your own songs in it...And the beginning of this song sounded like it was almost MIDI-like, but not quite, as the quality was more FM-like....But also not quite that either...And the gasp is so cool, it's like an update to some of the sounds in the Doom series. I love the whole song, and makes me want to go play more Doom II, and find my copy of Doom...And go looking out in the world, for some of the retail Doom updates before Doom III comes to the Xbox next year.

8O this song is way to good, and i love it. I love the harpsichord thats in it... i have to say i want everyone on earth to have this song and play it all the time :D

[tobmaps]

been wondering whether you'd ever come across a tune from the dude that could be considered straightforward catchy? well look no further. the forceful, driving beat in this is too good for words. the more "serious sequel" mix, Bloody Bath, is equally good

[Agent Spork]

This is a completely awesome remix. It is also one of my favorite songs in the game, too :)

[Gabriel Xavier]

My God.

I joined the forums just to review this piece.

I am still listening to this, its amazing. Wonderful job, thank you ever so much for sharing it!

[metal_dragen]

Another masterpiece by Mazedude!

In my opinion, this has got to be one of the creepiest songs in the game to begin with, and Mazedude has gone and made it even more so.

The *gasp* sounds add a lot to the creepy, gothic, otherwordly feel of the piece.

For some reason, this piece has always ( the original and Mazedude's ReMix ) seemed very, how do I say this, ... epic. It has a very large, open quality about it that dwarfs you as you listen to it.

[Xah]

The vocals in this song are simply amazing.
I wish I could do that...

[Amayirot Akago]

The gasp at the start really cracked me up :lol: Good one Mazedude!

The vocals add some goodness to the atmosphere, and the overall tune is a very good one.

[Scrabble_Ship]

Mazedude need to make more remixes. He has made such good songs and I need more.

[Jered Cain]

This is just one of those ReMixes that I absolutely must listen to over and over...

The SFX at 31", as djpretzel says, is a nice change from the classic choices for such things...

I like how the Mix switches from the original tune at that point to a more "heavy-metal" style at that point, as well.

Near the end, at 3'05, the guitar-riff sound marks a change from the ReMix material back to Original-type stuff, with the underlying bass from the Mix accompanying it as it fades from hearing.

All in all, excellent ReMix, as other people have said, mazedude should make a few more from this game.

[jordex]

nice intro, i was waiting for the main instrument to come in, then there was that sexy transition with the scream. Another excellent remix mazedude!

So many great effects and sounds! then it goes back to oldskool near the end, sweet! i love the hardcore-ness if thats a word

[Creative ImPulse]

DUDE, IT ROCKS! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! :)!!

[q-pa]

Nicely done. Good atmosphere with the insturments and choir samples. DJP was right, it is a bit lacking in the lower frequencies, but still a great ReMix.

[Dasmarius]

I'm sorry, but..

Mazedude is my god.
This is just CRAZY good...!

[RimFrost the Tourianist]

I haven't heard this until today, but this one stays on my playlist for awhile.. it's Mazedude and all heh.

A classic remix to be sure :P
Gotta love the gasp at the start..

[42]

I usually review a mix as I listen to it and was about to be all :| on this mix
but then at 0:31 then Wham, Splat, :shock:

Moral of the story: don't judge a track solely by it's first 30 to 45 seconds :<

I can't believe that this mix hasn't really seen the light of day since 05. This is definitely worth checking out.

[OA]

Lot of cool percussion in here, and the choir samples that were hard panned were pretty sweet. I wish certain aspects hit a little harder, like the kick, and some of the synths, but overall, great stuff. the counter melodies and crazy creative touches really make this stand out and it's got enough detail packed in to make each repeated loop of the track reveal something new.

Good stuff. :-)

[Sir_Downunder]

Clever use of vocals at the start. The choir and the harpsichord kick some ass together with the beats. Would've like the kick to be a little stronger, but it doesn't take away from this track.

Good work Mazedude. :nicework:
