Sometimes, when in battle, it is best to admit defeat and make a hasty retreat. One can always return for another go at it, but it may just be the monster you face here is too strong and there simply is no match.

I may just leave it out of the album. I already have a Game22 MIDI remix in the album.

[-<WillyP>-]

Hm an album I see why, you want it complete.

[Alieo]

Yeah, I'm doing a mash-up remix album for every single D1/D2 Redbook/MIDI track. It's complete, except for the "Time For the Big Guns" remix, which is TOO HARD! lol

I'm assigning the remixes to certain D2 levels in D2X-XL as well. I use the MIDI remixes for D1, and the Redbook remixes for D2. 58 songs in all. (Would have been 59.)

I have flirted with trying the D1 remixes in D2 levels.  Time For the Big Guns fits D2 level 18 pretty nicely.  I can't remember what I had for everything else though.  It was years ago.

But when I mod the D2 soundtrack, I generally like to use music from me and from other games -- there's a lot of Sonic the Hedgehog music that's similar to the D2 Redbook.

Did you know that a midi version of one of the songs you've "referenced" in your song titles was used in the third and seventh levels of a classic D2 mission by Darkflamewolf?  I'll let you find it .

[Alieo]

I wouldn't know... the only level set I've downloaded by DFW was Vignettes, and I know she contributed to the TEW, but that's not exclusively her's. Besides, even though I played Vignettes, and currently am on Level 14 on TEW, I do not have any custom music tracks for either... so I'm completely clueless on those.

[Kaiaatzl]

Gasp?  You're not using the "Good" soundtrack for TEW?  Which is made to work "out of the box" for D2X-XL too?

But no, it's not either of those missions.  One of her oldest ones, from before Lost Levels.

[Scyphi]

About Roaches Crawl: it sounds pretty good, although I have to admit that Crawl is NOT one of my favorite Descent songs.

BTW, I was looking through some of the other tracks you've posted before now, and I think your mix of D1's level 7 song is still your best.

So which song was it that was used in one of her level sets?

[Kaiaatzl]

You need to find it!

Level 20: Fort Davis Death Rave

Don't you mean...

Level 20: Fort Dravis Death Rave

Maybe I'm just weird, but I like most of the descent music too much on its own to mess with it.

Not weird at all. IMO
