Remastered the soundtracks of some D2 classics (posted by re

I was bored, so I remastered the entire soundtracks of five classic D2 missions: Bahagad Outbreak, Encounter at Farpoint 2, The Entropy Experiment, Entropy 2 Vengeance, and Obsidian (this is the second time I remastered Obsidian).

They were remastered in FL Studio 9 with synths, effects, and in some cases, automation.

The download links are on the right side of the GoAruna page.

Bahagad Outbreak

I know none of these songs were composed specifically for Bahagad (only one of the four was composed specifically for DFW), but I really like this soundtrack. I haven't heard the whole original version of the level 3 music, but I know it's an instrumental version of \"Creeping Death\" by Mettallica. I just can't stand metal singing.

Encounter at Farpoint 2

Very... interesting soundtrack. Ranging from a nice techno ditty to Russian folk music. I like Russian folk, but I don't think it fits into this mission's story. It still had good music though, especially level 2, level 3, and level 6. Most of the soundtrack would have fit better into a different game though.

Luke Schneider created the midi soundtracks to his own missions, and I can't decide which were better - the songs or the levels. The Entropy Experiment had an amazing soundtrack, and the level 2 music is still my favourite Descent song of all time.

Luke Schneider was on the D3 team, he should have been the one to do the D3 soundtrack.

Amazing soundtrack by Doug Hale and Verran Eventide. It was pretty easy to tell who did what song by looking at the midi file. All of the songs by Doug Hale had comments on the midi channels that said \"by Doug Hale\", and they sometimes had titles. None of the songs by Verran Eventide even had channel comments.
I remastered this soundtrack for a second time because the first time I hadn't done the level 7 song justice before. I ended up using a lot of guitar synths (and I had more guitar synths at my disposal than the last time.)
