Description             : (COMPRESSED QUALITY VERSION)

                          The heart and soul of an entire cast of composers
                          from Doomworld and beyond, all converging into the
                          same mission: bringing you Doom II's levels with
                          soundscapes reimagined, new instrumentation, and
                          sounds never before heard in the original.
                          
                          This is a community music pack. Kind of like the
                          TNT and Plutonia community MIDI packs, if you
                          remember those (shoutout to Cammy, btw!). In that
                          same vein, we look at the original levels and try
                          to compose a song which captures its mood and
                          essence, interpreted with the appropriate artistic
                          license.
                          
                          The main difference is that this one doesn't allow
                          MIDI or very MIDI-like sounds. Instead, as the name
                          suggests, it is entirely tracker music. That type
                          of song format embeds its own instruments, allowing
                          artists to choose basically the exact soundscape
                          they want. It also means the song will always sound
                          almost the same everywhere, rather than sounding
                          wildly different depending on soundfont.
                          
                          We went out of our way to bring an interesting set
                          of songs, rather than just sounding like 'Doom II
                          but with better instruments'. Every level is
                          something unique; a new artist, a new style, an
                          entirely different mood!
