I got to finalize the filenaming and tagging on these, so I got to check things out early. I love it!

Finally it's out. I'm sure it's worth the waiting.

Nice work and nice site.
I'll listen to the songs later.

Hey guys, there's some sort of spam ad on the front page.

I don't really like Doom music, but some of this sounds kind of fun. If you're able to make someone who isn't a fan like it, you must be doing something right.

Nice work.

Just went through my first listen. I'm not familiar with the material as I'm not a Doom fan. But what stood out to me the most are: "Adrian's Sleep", "31 Seconds", and "Red Waltz". I really like those. My absolute favorite is 31 Seconds, however. It is so fucking unique. Love how well the piano and electronic sounds work so well together. An awesome mix of ambiance and industrial in this track. Very haunting stuff indeed. Sounds very "Coldplay"-ish if you catch my drift. Those voice samples are especially cool...where are those from exactly? Kinda reminds me of Skypunk's Mario RPG remix awhile back.

Why aren't there more posts here >:[

This album, it's so good, it really is so good. I may do a track-by-track dealie later? Perhaps?

You captured Doom II's atmosphere perfectly.

Lots of cool stuff here, funny thing is I only first read about this album yesterday then all of a sudden it gets released, some timing! I like it the same way I liked DSoP, it does a good job of preserving the Doom atmosphere while changing things up in the crazy "who would have thought of that" way that only OCR can.

Gonna have to agree that "31 seconds" is very unique and cool, I think we're too early to make a call on a clear favorite though, "The Healer Stalks" is another of my favorites since it takes what is debatebly one of the most boring songs in all of Doom and Doom II and makes it interesting again.

Odds are it won't get half the fanfare something like VoTL would, but I think it's fair to say the appeal of a Doom remix album can't quite compete with something like Super Mertroid or FFVII.

I'd say this is a big step up from the first album, do you think there is enough original material in Final to do a third.

Also I'll keep the rest of the doom 2 tracks you missed that are based on real songs so the album can stay up lol. personally I think doom should be an exception since a good 70% of all of doom and doom 2 were MIDI versions of real tracks, about half the tracks on this album are also but I'm going to keep my mouth shut on which ones...that goes for the rest of you too.

My only suggestion would have been to do something different from an old mazedude track, the whole thing should have been new I think. Still best doom album yet. oh and did I mention some of the crappy doom 2 MIDIs here were turned into something good in the album.

9/10

I was wondering, why is this not a whole album? It's awesome as-is, no doubt.

But I was wondering why this isn't a two disc album, maybe multiple mixes or different artists doing the same songs? That would be kickass.

But then there's the whole two and a half plus years. Kinda seems sad that it's *only* 14 tracks after so muchwork?

No matter, though, very awesome all around. Everyone did a great job!

I was thinking about that, the missing songs from what I can tell are Map4, Map5, Map7, Map18, and Map28, I'm not entirely sure which ones were based on "real songs," with the exception of Map23 being based on Alice in Chains' "Them Bones."

Seeing how Map23 was remixed on this album ("No Smoking Area"), I'm not entirely sure this would be the reason the other tracks were excluded. They also didn't remix Map31 and Map32 but I find this very understandable since those were bonus, Wolfenstein-3D themed levels which also used music from Wolfenstein, which wouldn't really have been appropriate for a Doom II remix album.

In any case, the tracks that were done are awesome, and I'll certainly take what I can get.
