Sherv Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I like it, maybe because I'm one of the few here that can relate to the old demoscene. I never was part of that scene per se, but I loved watching/listening to the demos, although most of the demos I saw were related to pirate/trading groups...I was always amazed at the attention given to the detail of the various tunes. Anyway, Mazedude man, kudos on yet another brilliant remix!! You took my all-time favorite tune from Doom 2, map 10's theme, and decked it out to the max! The original tune was very forboding and haunting which I feel is lacking from your remix, but instead you heap on plentiful servings of what I perceive to be a "mechanical" or "cybernetic" groove. I would have never expected to hear a take on that theme quite like this! Great job man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonerxsxex Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 I was never a fan of these games, so I don't recognize the song. Usually it's hard for me to get into a remix if I'm unfamiliar with the original, but I like this a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Snee Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 This is kinda wierd, this was my least favorite tune from DooM II, I found it slow and depressing, but this mix is probably my fave D2 remix, whils another remix of my leas fave from doom 1 is my fave remix of that! wierd, eh? Enehwah, this kicks much, ass, I do not see how people cannot like it. of course what yo want to do, is get something like doom legacy, so you can disable the midis, then play this stuff in the BG! Hoohah! By the way, Mazedude, if you are listing to my humble words, what do you use to make these remixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uglee musashi Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 This is kinda wierd, this was my least favorite tune from DooM II, I found it slow and depressing, slow & depressing... we're talking about DOOM2 right?

FenianMasochist Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 I know this may be a bit of an old thread, but I had to comment on this piece. Once again Mazedude has floored me by his awesome remixes. His Doom remixes are so crazy they're almost eerie. I've played his stuff for my friends and they always say how freaky his shit is. Oldskool is no exception. As much as I DID like this piece, I gotta say I like Blood Bath and BarrelsOFun better. Can't beet that creepy shit. Cheers. J.

rikfuzz Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 LOL! This is REALLY good! From the review I didn't think I'd like it much but it's fantastic! Never heard anything quite like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZtanZ Posted June 18, 2003 Share Posted June 18, 2003 really good remix, i love all doom remix and this is no exception, rock on man =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5hfifty Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I love this remix. I love all of Mazedude's id remixes. I love industrial effects/music/drums/everything. Feel the love. Awesome remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FenianMasochist Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I agree. Can we, like, nominate Mazedude for some kind of non-existant prestegious award or something? Cheers. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukem007 Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Great, great stuff!!! Although it doesn't quite have the same feel to it as the original Midi, which seemed to be slower and darker and had a segment which isn't here at all, the rest of the song more than makes up for it. Tons of creativity, awesome instrument choice, etc. I especially like how the song "shuts down" then "restarts" around 2:09 Instruments A Creativity A Pacing A Original song quality A Remixing quality, soundness A- Replay value A- Overall 94% A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coucou Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Yet another favorite of mines here. I specially like the FX percs with the bass pluncks, and the synth solo @02:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazedude Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 For any trackers who are curious to see how this was constructed, I have posted the original IT file on www.mazedude.com. Considering the samples, it's not as huge as most of my files, and it's kinda a fun one to watch, hehe. -Mazedude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Thankyou Mazedude. This might be able to help me understand how you make your music so damn good. /suckup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-n-j-i-n Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Wow. Goddam, pretty mean sounding track! In a sense, it retains the horror inducing sounds of Doom 2, and yet feels slightly campy with the shamelessly 80's techno sounds. Pretty good. If I never heard of the game's track before, I would have thought it came from the 80's. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineko Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 What can I do, I'm biased towards ReMixeRs who use a tracker, and Mazedude is certainly one of the best I've ever seen. How he can manage to achieve such good - I mean, AWESOME - results is a mistery to me. This song, while not in my favorite genre, is really interesting. And, if you are a Doom fan, you should get this now. Only weak point of this, the low bitrate of the MP3, that hurts the sound quality a lot, but it was needed to shrink down the filesize. Oh well, still a masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It's decidedly techno-industrial, but I'm just not getting a "fear for the safety of my soul" vibe here. In the end, its an average, o.k mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Azar Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The beginning and parts of the ending are great, but it's mostly just "okay". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Well I for one love what is done here. To make a mix that is as potentially repetitive as this one so sustained and interesting for five minutes is incredible. The signature Mazedude quirkiness is still thrown in, with some strange chirps, boings and such behind the prominence of the main bass and melody so it doesn't take anything away from the apocalyptic vibe. But it is there, which is what is important. Bobby Prince's work continues to win my attention and admiration, and Mazedude is a huge part of that. His attention to detail in turning deceptively simple synth-gothic ambience into window rattling power trips is something to cherish. By the way, that premature fade out fools me every time. Every. Damn. Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Oh yeah, this is oldskool all right. And it really does remind of an 80's B Horror movie (I don't know why, it just does), mixed in with the usual Mazedude flavouring. Didn't like the fakeout ending though, nearly stopped listening till I heard the beat come back, but that's my only beef with this great mix.

OceansAndrew Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 some nice personalization, but it's not as deep as a lot of the mazedude tracks i'm used to. I thought the intro personalization was great, but i didn't fell that it branched out much further. It was a fun listen, but not a classic.
