Havana smooth - Rise of the Triad (ROTT)

Music from a great game, Rise of the Triad, made by Apogee. I could say that the music is better than the game :D

[@ajh1021]

the fact that lee jackson was able to pump out 28 songs for the game in a 6 week deadline and still make them sound beautiful

[@jaykelley103]

I expected this to have a conclusion, but it didnt. But yeah I agree, I think.

This track really has the feeling of " Yeah I beat you into the ground, what are you going to do about it ?"

[@HQ_Default]

That midi guitar at the beginning makes me think it's going to be "Waiting for Romero to Play" and then the song changes its mind and goes somewhere else entirely

[@Delta225]

That's a bass

I still remember this song and the horn solo note-for-note from the '90s. "Goin' Down the Fast Way" and "Fish Polka", too. And lighting people up with the Drunk Missile. Awesome.

that drunk rocket shot is still cooler than anything else Ive seen including in Destiny.

You can blame that to MIDI2MUS.

[@leonardfrankel8992]

I agree. I'm still conflicted about the merits of the game itself, but goddamn the soundtrack is good! Even now!

[@yellowblanka6058]

I like that it feels very different from other shooters of the time, has a lot of personality, but it's also inherently limited in what it can do thanks to running on a modified Wolfenstein 3D engine so you get a lot of confusing maze levels etc.

[@The_Chosen_Heretic]

[@expendableround6186]

Especially the NME. As the reboot puts it: “Rust in pieces.”

[@lsebastian9086]

Well, i like that version too but well, original versions can't be forgotten, altrough i admit some instruments would not hurt there. Well, felt like sharing that since im searching about the remake. But at least the creators were nice in including the original sounds and mode of the songs if the remixes don't work in personal taste.

Is this even MIDI? It sounds natural enough to sound like it's from an orchestra.

this midi file was played on a high-end sampling card (i used to play it on my Sound Blaster AWE-32, but as i remember, the samples weren't quite as good as this one)

[@FinnishGuy47]

and the track by Bobby Prince in that map, as well as Map 18, is a version of Pantera's This Love.

[@lsebastian9086]

DOn't worry. IN the remake that song seems to be on. IN fact, watch the room design level of Rise of the triad 2012....they are using a remixed version of this song.

[@ariloulaleelay]

This music was played before battle with NME. So it's kinda creepy for me...

[@nazacro]

Should've been used on some more menacing maps of Hell Revealed - MAP10 is a piece of cake compared to Knockout.

[@randomweeb6997]

Yeah, but Map 11 is where Hell Revealed starts to throw hordes at player, so Map 10 is a bit of breather.
