'''Quake''' is a video game by id Software released on June 22, 1996, which features music composed by [[Trent Reznor]]. Most versions of the game included 10 audio tracks from the game as standard CD-Audio files, so the game disc could be played in a CD player with the first track reserved for game data (which can not be read by a CD player), and 10 additional tracks of music.

Historically, there was confusion as to whether the music was credited to NIN or [[Trent Reznor]] alone, but this was cleared up by id Software designer American McGee[https://www.quaddicted.com/interviews/americanmcgee] and by the 2020 edition. It is notable that this soundtrack contains [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_music  ambient music], which Reznor went on to explore further with the ''[[Ghosts]]'' series and various scores created with [[Atticus Ross]]. It is also reminiscent of the dark ambient music of [[Coil]].

On September 16th, 2020, it was announced that the ''Quake'' 12" 2xLP would be available for sale via the [[nin.com]] store. Per [[John Crawford]] on [[Echoing the Sound]], it was confirmed that the release has the [[Null numbers|Null]] 0.5 release number. The packaging credited the music to Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, and listed [[Charlie Clouser]], [[Robin Finck]], [[Danny Lohner]], and [[Chris Vrenna]] as having been involved. The final, blank side of the vinyl is etched with program code from the game. A digital release was also made available on December 4, 2020.

Although the PDF booklet pixelated all the in-game screenshots (likely to avoid any rights issues, since Activision had objected to the inclusion of the booklet), super-fans of the game were quickly able to identify from which parts of the game the pixelated screenshots came.  Several fan-created restorations of the booklet were created, and some fans even organized limited print runs of the restored booklets.

==Alternate Track Titles==
−
There are in fact no official names for these tracks, as they remain untitled in the accompanying game literature.[http://www.nincatalog.com/item.asp?key=01-90414] They can be referred to by their track number; however, because the first audio track is the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually leads to confusion. As such, they can also be referred to in the format of ''Ghosts I-IV'' track titles (e.g. "02 Quake I"), numbers (e.g. "Quake 1"), sequenced untitled tracks, and so on.

Until the 2020 release, the official names for the tracks were unknown, as they were not listed in the accompanying game literature.[http://nincatalog.com/items-with-official-tracks/quake-us-cd-1230/] They were referred to by their track number; however, because the first audio track is the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually led to confusion.

Alternatively, fan-made titles and game level names are often brought up when CD ripping/playing software looks up the information on the CDDB, and some of them ended up being the official titles.  The official titles were uploaded to the CDDB at least [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/2mSFCuyar4Y/m/0Zj1YNqO0tMJ as early as 2000], and were likely provided by someone at [[Nothing Studios]] or id Software.

==Trivia==
 +
Reznor became involved as the result of mutual fandom between himself and developers at id Software. He was a big fan of ''Doom'' and had sent tickets and backstage passes to developers, expressing an interest in working on ''Quake''.[https://books.google.com/books?id=pw0EAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false]

 +
A particular weapon in game play is the "nailgun" which can be reloaded by collecting ammo boxes decorated with the [[Logo History|NIN logo]].
 +
 
 +
Reznor was asked by id Software to score ''Quake II'' and ''Quake III'', but declined due to the style of music they were looking for.[http://www.nin-pages.de/2000_Incite_Juli_english.htm] He was also the original choice for sound design on ''Doom 3'', but circumstances halted his involvement. Former NIN member Chris Vrenna composed the game's theme song.
 +
 
 +
The game's readme mentions something called [[Nothing Interactive]], an entity that has never been referred to on any other NIN or [[Nothing Records]] product.

Latest revision as of 05:09, 10 September 2024

Quake Soundtrack

Quake is a video game by id Software released on June 22, 1996, which features music by Nine Inch Nails. NIN was also responsible for the game's sound effects. The soundtrack was remastered and reissued in 2020 on vinyl and digital.

Historically, there was confusion as to whether the music was credited to NIN or Trent Reznor alone, but this was cleared up by id Software designer American McGee[1] and by the 2020 edition. It is notable that this soundtrack contains ambient music, which Reznor went on to explore further with the Ghosts series and various scores created with Atticus Ross. It is also reminiscent of the dark ambient music of Coil.

On September 16th, 2020, it was announced that the Quake 12" 2xLP would be available for sale via the nin.com store. Per John Crawford on Echoing the Sound, it was confirmed that the release has the Null 0.5 release number. The packaging credited the music to Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails, and listed Charlie Clouser, Robin Finck, Danny Lohner, and Chris Vrenna as having been involved. The final, blank side of the vinyl is etched with program code from the game. A digital release was also made available on December 4, 2020.

Reznor also posted the following to nin.com, which was later removed:

Several fan-created restorations of the booklet were created, and some fans even organized limited print runs of the restored booklets.

Alternate Track Titles

Until the 2020 release, the official names for the tracks were unknown, as they were not listed in the accompanying game literature.[2] They were referred to by their track number; however, because the first audio track is the CD's second track (the first being reserved for the actual game data), this usually led to confusion.

Alternatively, fan-made titles and game level names are often brought up when CD ripping/playing software looks up the information on the CDDB, and some of them ended up being the official titles. The official titles were uploaded to the CDDB at least as early as 2000, and were likely provided by someone at Nothing Studios or id Software.

Trivia

Reznor became involved as the result of mutual fandom between himself and developers at id Software. He was a big fan of Doom and had sent tickets and backstage passes to developers, expressing an interest in working on Quake.[3]

Nailgun ammo.

A particular weapon in game play is the "nailgun" which can be reloaded by collecting ammo boxes decorated with the NIN logo.

Reznor was asked by id Software to score Quake II and Quake III, but declined due to the style of music they were looking for.[4] He was also the original choice for sound design on Doom 3, but circumstances halted his involvement. Former NIN member Chris Vrenna composed the game's theme song.

The game's readme mentions something called Nothing Interactive, an entity that has never been referred to on any other NIN or Nothing Records product.
