For those that are interested in DM2 musics, I should recommend you to learn a little about Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky.
He was a Russian composer of the 19th century, and is well known for "Pictures at an Exhibition" (Remember "The Great Gate of Kiev"?).

Well ... I am sure he could also have composed for DM2

Maybe you could try Bydlo:

Not really DM material if you ask me... has to be something that can inspire fear and mystery above all else... sugestions ?

I'd have to agree.. I like classical music.. however the first is too airy and relaxed for DM I think.. except maybe the hall of champions.. but I think even that should have some mystery to it.. and well the second one.. it's too chaotic.. I'm also not fond of music in a dungeon that you need the volume up so you can hear monsters, to be so up and down in volume.. super soft and then BAM!!! loud.. and then soft... BAM!!! loud again.. good way to blow ear drums.. and the first one while it didn't do this exactly it steadlily get's louder and louder..

Just really not suited for gaming I think.. still nice music though

moo

How about E-Nomine (german band)? Their a good mix of trance/dance and church choir VERY good music, i tell you, very goth...

Bydlo is definitely DM2 music. It sounds diiferent, but I think it's because of the instruments. Very cool.

Ah .. Only Purple1 was in the good direction.. Surely these musics may not fit in the game, but it appears that some parts of PC DM2 musics directly come from the pieces of Mussorgsky, and it is very obvious when you listen to them.

To make clearer the thing, download the DM2 PC musics:

Compare dm2music16 (Thorn Demons) and Bydlo.
Compare dm2music13 with Gnomus.

Sounds more familiar now?

ahah ! unbelievable ! amiga mods were so crappy that they must have fired their music designer and ripped Mussorgsky (sic) ! btw, i definitely prefer the original versions to the midi files

Yeah! They are way more dark, and sort of build up to the scary parts instead of just blaring at you. Although Bydlo is about an ox-cart... Dungeon, ox-cart, what's the difference, right?

hmmm.. a russian ox-cart... a dark dungeon... heavyness.. slow movement... well, why not.

well to be quite honest I only really heard the music for DM2 amiga and it wasn't really suitable for it as far as I could tell.. I did hear the intro music for DM2 PC and that was nice.. and works for the intro.. dunno about the halls of DM.. I'm a much bigger fan of ambient atmosphere.. low on actual music notes.. it's more creepy..

That's really cool.. it was good to hear the originals. I wish we could hear from the creators, I'd like to hear their take on the music, and why they chose to reproduce those. Good choices though, definitely.

Let's keep yelling at Gambit to finish his site and then help him stalk the makers. Then we can hold them ransom and find out what is on that darn holy scroll in CSB!! :twisted:

good idea!
