CD creation date is the only way to tell the difference from one another. Lots of different versions of this disc exist. (Rare CD?)ĬD # 203-029-05: Quake v1.01 shareware with id stuff and demos. I'm not sure why Romero mentions MP3 as a format for a 1996 game that was using a lot of CPU already, they had no other way than CD audio, really, due to technical limitations.ĬD # 203-041-52: Quake v1.01 shareware only. It would be curious to check that stuff out. One thing he also notices (in another interview) is how a lot of people weren't even aware that Quake had music on CD, because they just took the CD out of the drive once they installed the game.Īnother interesting thing Romero mentioned in one of these Quake talks is that while NIN was working on the music for Quake, id Software listened to the ambient stuff that Chris Vrenna made and gave them to hold them over, and that they all listened to it during development. He also mentioned this two or three other times in other talks/interviews. This Quake Post Mortem by John Romero mentions the contract conditions and music subject from or around 24:00. I remember another interview where he mentions basically the same, but with "he had to agree, we had to agree" wording, but I can not find it right now. This interview has Tim Willits talking about it, regarding contract from 36:00 and about soundtrack in general at 34:30. They are from several very long talks or interviews. What are the sources for these quotes? Could you share some links and maybe even add all of it to (currently read-only due to vandalism)? Since Interscope Records now belongs to Universal Music Group, almost as soon as Reznor released Quake OST, it got into some copyright database and automated youtube algorithms started flagging and taking down even some of the very old gameplay videos, but I think this is not happening anymore. This allowed Reznor to release Quake soundtrack on 2xLP and as a download, and (I assume) all future releases of Quake, like Quake Enhanced in 2021, to have music in digital format included. So I guess they reviewed and reworked the contract, as Willits said (paraphrasing) "he had to agree, we had to agree, so we sorted this out". Steam has WinQuake and GLQuake and GOG version uses DOSBox if I remember correctly.Īccording to Tim Willits, Reznor contacted him when Willits was still one of the higher-ups at id Software to work something out because he was doing the NIN reissues. There's no point in providing music in MP3/OGG format for Steam or GOG versions anyway, since none of them support playback of these formats. I don't know the reasons for it, but Steam does not distribute game CD images, while GOG apparently can - the way the music works in the later GOG version is that package has 3 CD ISOs with all original data and music tracks as well. Originally GOG version didn't have music either, even though GOG almost always supplies game's soundtrack in MP3 format as a bonus. When Steam came around, since it's a digital distribution platform, they can't provide MP3s or something like that because of that original contract clause. But back then in 1996 it was fine and good enough. Apparently, this was imposed by Interscope Records, owner of Trent's vanity label Nothing Records. The duo is still hard at work, with Reznor announcing that he is working on new Nine Inch Nails music during the quarantine, following the release of Ghosts V & VI in April.According to John Romero and Tim Willits, the original contract had the condition that the music NIN did for Quake could be distributed only only on CD (Red Book specs). Several members of the group’s live lineup such as guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist, Alessandro Cortini and drummer and Ilan Rubin have been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside Reznor and Ross. His Oscar-winning soundtrack for the 2009 David Fincher film The Social Network, which was recorded alongside fellow Nine Inch Nails band mate Atticus Ross, also hosts a double vinyl LP release on Nine Inch Nails’ website. Reznor’s soundtrack work has continued to garner acclaim, as he recently scored the hit HBO program Watchmen. While the performer would eventually go on to score numerous television and film soundtracks, Reznor reportedly recorded these songs free of charge. Reznor’s work on Quake is lauded as one the most acclaimed soundtracks in video game history, with Gamespot critic Trent Ward remarking that it was “Simply put, this is the best soundtrack ever created for a computer game.”Įach of these tracks have additionally been given titles for the first time ever. This remastered edition is pressed on two 180 gram vinyl disks and features a total of ten songs.
