Descent PSX Music: Glut

[Sahuagin]

this is one of the Descent 2 redbook audio tracks, most of which are jaw-droppingly awesome, but also impossible to find due to copyright

@Sahuagin Would it be illegal to upload them? I just bought a copy of Descent 2 for 50 cents at a yard sale and iTunes immediatley extracted the music off of it (you can actually play the music right from the cd in a cd player)

[Sahuagin]

@Spam205 well, maybe technically yes, but in practice, no one cares unless someone contacts you to specifically say so. Not even sure who would own the copyright, since Interplay died. lots of companies let their game music be distributed, but back in the day, as far as I know, Interplay or someone else was enforcing the copyright, so no website offered the music for download, just the midi ones.

Where is this played? I watched the whole of Efreye's Let's Play of this and I didn't hear it anywhere.

I have heard this in-game before on the American NTSC PS1 release of Descent 1. I don't remember which level, though.

@LightcycleChampion It's the first in-game BGM track of the original release of Descent 2. Later releases of the game didn't have this track on the game CD.

@wolftickets1969 because it is this track:

@Fleshshredder True but this is the ONLY extended version I've ever heard of this song before. I had PSX D1 and it was most definitely not in that game. This is crazy! I love it.
