Pulling stuff is more a legal thing (DMCA etc), asking beforehand is being social.īut please do try getting hold of Sascha, I’d love it if anyone succeeds. If it is P2P or server to client is splitting ethical hairs (and no real difference technically). Uhm, let me make that unhappen, err, sorry, does not seem possible.” “Oops, I did not know you did not want x people to download it. Imagine someone shared personal stuff of you with that attitude. Asking BEFORE distributing is the only nice way and I am already trying that. I don’t think that would be a good thing. If he should express that he wanted it pulled, I’d be happy to abide by his wishes. I’d happily take it a step further and send Sascha an e-mail letting him know that I’m redistributing. I’d host the files directly and respond appropriately to any takedown notices, assuming Romero is as forthcoming with me as he was with you. If you go ahead and release this, you are one big fat ugly asshole in my eyes. Maybe I will ask him if he would mind (if I released the files I got from him) as I still haven’t got any sign of life from Sonic Mayhem. How could you decide if you can spread it? Also I would not want to drag Romero into the mud (as it is obvious I got it from him). Well, I am not spreading them for one major reason: Respect for Sonic Mayhem. If he does, I won’t be shy about redistributing ) I imagine I’ll try shooting him an e-mail myself and seeing if he can set me up with the same “deal”. Rats! I really want those tracks, badly! It’s even cannot be purchased, what the reason to hide it from us? :) I’ll mail him again, maybe a spam filter ate it. :)ĭo NOT ask me to send them to you, I will try further to get an “ok” by Sascha. I got 128kbit/s MP3s now from John Romero. I got no reply from Sonic Mayhem, so now I mailed John Romero and (the “employer” of Sonic Mayhem I think). I like the Q2 soundtrack, though, it’s actually rather good. The trippy stuff sounds like an Alien soundtrack, but personally I prefer NIN’s. Had a look at those shockwave players – they call separate SWA (mp3) files, which unfortunately don’t seem to be part of the archive. Maybe Sascha himself would upload a copy of it? I always thought Quake had better industrial music on its soundtracks than 99.9% of what was being released in that genre….id love that album too. Being a completely compulsive obsessive nostalgic archivar I have to… :)Ģ6 Responses to “Methods of Destruction – The alternate Quake soundtrack” I’d pay for the CD, 50€ or more, no joke. Badly! Even if a bad mp3 rip is all that is left. zip files they came in and here they are (Ogg Vorbis are encoded in Q5 and tagged by me): I was not able to try the Shockwave streams (Anyone can do? Any chance to rip them? Send them in!) but I downloaded the. And yes it has, I cannot believe I am the first one to try it(?): Here is the original website. Well, so I just randomly stumbled upon it today for the hundredth time and thought “hmm, I wonder if the Internet Archive has something on it”. Anyone got more? Maybe even the original. I could not find the files though, the only QuakeCast shows I have are quakecast_intro.mp3 and quakecast_oct_2_1997.mp3. There are hints that some more snippets might have aired at QuakeCast. Some more random tidbits: 1, 2, 3, 4 (says it was not him alone making the music). Methods of Destruction received a nice review by Bluesnews and that’s about all information that is left about it. It was created in 1996 by Sascha Dikiciyan (“Cyber-Age Studios”) who later did the Quake 2 soundtrack as Sonic Mayhem. One of the mysterious “lost” things from the Quake universe, one of the most interesting maybe, is the Methods of Destruction audio CD. « New look in the making || New look for the news page first » Methods of Destruction – The alternate Quake soundtrack
