- Descent has awesome MIDI music. Unfortunately, it was very dependent on specific soundcard manufacturers. Luckily, the Mac version came with redbook arranged tracks.
- Specific soundcards had a lot to do with how awesome the music sounded back then: compare Io Sulphur Mine on several different soundcards.
- The Descent II MIDI soundtrack is also pretty awesome. It is a pity that it only has six tracks.
- From the Descent 3 soundtrack:
- The Proving Grounds. Downloadable versions of this song can be very different from the version that appeared in the game. Still one of the best in the soundtrack.
- The song from the CED Expediator Dreadnought sounds straight out of a war movie's OST.
- The theme for level 7, "A New Strain", is an amazing techno trance track.
- "Pink Slip" is probably the best track in the Mercenary Expansion Pack. (Be warned, it's extremely catchy.)
