      I found this interesting project on the net. Listening to it right now       -- remixes of all of the original DOOM MIDI files by various artists.       I've got the tracks playing right now on       http://radio.realitycheckbbs.org if you want to give it a listen.                     http://doom.ocremix.org/main.html              The Dark Side of Phobos is a 23 track, two disk album with remixes of       music from the original DooM game for the PC. It is an official       Overclocked Remix site project ( http://www.ocremix.org ).              DooM is a first-person shooter game for the PC that was developed and       released by id Software in 1993. The game revolutionised the gaming       industry by becoming the basis on which other games of a similar genre       were compared to. The game is a simple manner: You, as the only       surviving marine on one of Mars' moons, have the sole duty to take on       hoards of zombies and hellspawn in order to stop hell from unleashing       itself upon humanity.              The music in DooM was created by Robert Prince. It doesn't take a genius       to realise that several of the tracks in the game were heavily       influenced from rock music by other bands. Originally, Prince was asked       to compose the DooM soundtrack entirely out of covers of rock songs. He       disputed the idea knowing that some of the levels in DooM simply       wouldn't have had the right atmosphere under those circumstances; so he       and John Romero sat down and chewed out a mix of rock covers and some of       Prince's own unique style of creepy music which we would now recognise       as "DooM style." Since Prince used rock songs as source material, it's       ironic in a way that some of the resulting tunes are actually remixes in       the sense that they borrow melody lines and patterns from the source and       turn it into its own unique music.              -Lee Barber (TO)       the_orichalcon@hotmail.com              The Dark Side of Phobos was an OverClocked Remix site project that had       the intent to mix a large portion of the soundtrack to one of the most       important games of the first person shooter genre, DooM. The project was       created in the wake of Kong in Concert and was originally maintained by       klm09. After some months, the project began to slip away into obscurity       and in November of 2004 I was asked to take control of the project and       try to salvage it. After months of hard work on the part of all the       mixers, controversy and arguments, and artists dropping and picking up       songs (amongst other travesties) we are finally here, at the end: The       successful completion of The Dark Side of Phobos.              ...
