Although the general tune doesn't change much...it was really good nonetheless...the fade out around the middle was cool and it set you up for a nice change in the piece...slightly...nice work man...

Great remix, this was always my favourite music track from Doom 2.

The reason you think you hear other songs in this is because ID's music guy borrowed from several heavy metal song to make the soundtrack, both for doom 1 and 2. IE. the music to level 1 of Doom 1 sounds just like the intro of Metallica's Master of Puppets. :)

WHADDYA MEAN What do I think!!!!!??

I think im gonna :vomit: if I have another eargasm!!

This Totally Lives up to my Mazedude Expectations that Gothic sandy started me on & Bloodbath (sametrack) Raised the Bar on.
I do agree W/ Djp though it could have used a better ending like an earcrushing full out Bass assault.
But im not complaining either :P
Im going to the Baltimore Otakon this August & am building an OCR fanbase among my fellow anime geeks so far evry1 I've turned onto this site cant thank me enough.

This mix...incredible. Right off the bat at '10, those effects kick in...they rock. The thing I love about this mix are all the counter melodies that come and go, and the effects in the background. They keep the song fresh, because the main melody seems to repeat over and over. 1'12, that little sixteenth pattern going on fucking rules. A lot of thought and effort were put into these, and it keeps you listening for the full 5. Pitch bends =

. Simply put...wow.

The drums...love em'. Good variation, good choice of drums.

Overall, a fine, fine remix. Mazedude's impressed me before (he remixed Boy and his Blob, and that makes me his love for life), and he continues to do so here. <3

Mazedude + Doom = Great ReMix

No different here. Mazedude puts out another good techno mix with this one.

9.5/10 (9.5 due to the somewhat dissapointing ending). Still a very good mix though.

Hmm, methinks I'll do a little bit of explaining here, to answer the unasked questions -
The reason it's called Oldskool is because it's done entirely with 8-bit low quality samples from the oldschool tracking days of the late 80s and early 90s. Pioneers like Skaven and Purple Motion rocked the demoscene with songs such as these: they didn't use the highest quality sounds, but they used a LOT of them, and often with so much attention to detail and such speed and accuracy that it was mind-boggling. That's what I tried to do here... I don't think I made ANY of the sounds in this - they were all swiped from the songs of the now non-existent "Demoscene". And thus, they were all used with everchanging patterns and sporadic intermittence, completely with the also-oldschool screaming synth lines... (that are so, SO fun to make, hehe). So, that explains the style - it's really more of an inside joke to me and my tracker brethren than the remixing community, but I gave it a nice industrial edge to still make it satisfying. :)
And regarding the ending - has anyone noticed that if you're listening to this in the background and you hear a fadeout, you can't help but ask "wait a sec - which fadeout is this? The real one or the fake one?" They're identical baby! I fake ya out once, then I do it for real the next time. I dunno, I think it's a unique way to end a tune. I like it.
So there's what Mazedude has to say on his own tune. Hope I've been somewhat informative - if you want to hear any original oldschool tracks, go to www.hornet.org and search for Future Crew, Skaven, Purple Motion, or Necros, and check out their tracks. You'll see. Later dudes!
