Nice. Clean distortion. hah. who'da thunk. Slow and brooding. Someone
is about to die, and it looks like it's you. That lead instrument is just
haunting. I like it.

[Ebonyks]

IMO, a bit heavy on the distortion, but the mix still works well. It's just so difficult to describe this mix, it's beautiful in a bizzare, undescrible way

This is hands down one of my favorite pieces on the site. What you've created from the original piece is amazing. It stirs a sense of total awe: the feeling of discovery, mixed with the lingering sensation that those far more powerful than you have fallen treading the same path you are right now. Once the actual melody starts (around 2 minutes), the way it seems to just flow and meander over the soft beat in the background brings to mind pictures of tremendous, subtle power- like a mournful conflict with an angelic force, something terrible that you've tried to avoid at all costs, but couldn't.

I've used this tune as background music during my weekly dungeons and dragons sessions, combined with the description of the scene it inspired exactly what I needed into the players.

Bottom Line:

This is an excellent, excellent work that crackles with a subtle power and paints a mood like few other pieces can.

Rimco's "Doomed E1L8 Boss" is a favorite of mine that simply has a wonderfully melodic, somber, and deliberate feel to it. The eerie style of the Mix made me listen longer and longer, and, like I always say, brought a uniqueness to the picture that was hard to ignore. While the track builds, it doesn't build too loudly, so this is one of those tracks you can put on if you feel like just having background music in your ears, like Hazama's "Reminiscence (Deep Sleep)" from Genso Suikoden 2. I never played Doom, but I certainly feel this track should be tried out by just about everyone.

Awesome, this is the music that should come right after you end up dying in the shareware DOOM on this very level.

Hands down the best song here. Simply amazing. Heck I would love to hear this thing play in the DOOM movie (if there ever will be one) say-for the credits.

Oh my God. I can point out the scars that this song has given me in its routine kickings of my ass. I first heard this on Rimco's site, before it was hosted at OCR, and I still listen to it today. And it still tears me a new asshole.

it would make a nice credits theme alright.

doom movie... god, if they did make a movie please don't make it suck... and for crying out sideways don't put some mallrock freak on to write the soundtrack. i'm still pissed about manson and RE.

[TheCore]

Amazing. Beats Gothic Sandy and all the rest.

So much mood to this song, it's fantastic! GJ!

What Rimco has created here is a masterpiece that transcends genres and pre-conceptions. The piece has an emotive power completely seperate from the song that spawned it (though those familiar with the original should have no trouble recognizing it.) The song does not neccesarily conjure up any images of death, agony or fear (unless you are linking it to the game in your mind.) This piece has a very strong connection to the epic, wonder and fantasy. Listening to this piece can transport you to another realm. I had a romantic relationship begin last summer after the person listened to this song. I know that a lot of people see this song intimately connected to Doom, but I see it as something that should be recognized on it's own. It is one of my favorite pieces of music ever made at any point in time in any genre. Even if some of you should find you do not share this love affair, I doubt that anyone will regret having listened to it. It is soothing, ethereal and powerful.

Per's OCR Star System:
5-One of my favorites.
4- I'll listen to it a fair amount but it lacks that extra "something" to be great.
3- Above average but not enough so to get much playtime in my list.
2- Average
1- Lacking
