NICE! that looks like the next vinyl purchase
FUCK YES I JUST CAME
That's going to be the first release ever of the OST (no, ripping it from the game disc doesn't count) so if you pricks buy it all before I can order one I will kill something
es fuck yes fuck yes fuck yes fuck yes fuck y(repeated ad nauseam)
Finally, after all these years the official title of the tracks will be confirmed!
So hard right now
Well that came out of nowhere!
I wonder if it comes with a download of the game.
I hope there'll be more then 10 vinyls available...hate the limited print bullshit...I really want that!
I'm pretty excited about this one. I spent so many hours playing this game online, and I still have the game CD somewhere around here. Will be nice to have a "new" format.
I hereby insist that I am the most excited person for Quake OST release. So there.
So much so that I'll point out this thread is in the wrong sub-forum and might be redundant because we already have a Quake thread.
For some reason the game CD audio was mastered with pre-emphasis applied, which is very rare for CDs and lots of CD players and extractor software didn't know how to handle it (nowadays I think they mostly do). Therefore *lots* of the rips out there are not correctly de-emphasised. The mastering on this re-issue can/should/finally be considered canonical.
At last, a decade of meaning to go track down my own copy of the game just to say it's in my NIN collection is rendered a priority I never have to worry about again.
Guarantee I'll stumble across a discarded copy somewhere now.
It was. Both sound effects and music were credited to TR + NIN (which at that time additionally consisted of Vrenna, Clouser, and Lohner). American McGee also did the game's sound design... and possibly Keith Hillebrandt contributed in some way? Don't remember if he was in the Nothing Studios picture yet... probably not until 1997 after Vrenna left, now that I think about it.

Splitting hairs, but you are right for at least the sound effects. The music credits are only to TR. Whether or not other members of NIN and associated personnel contributed materially to the music or not is a separate question to who got the credit, specifically. From the game manual (I still have the box, manual CD and jewel case from the original Q1 release):
Credits
SOUND EFFECTS
Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails
...
Music Credits
Titles of Songs or Themes (C) 1996 TVT
/Interscope Records. All Rights Reserved.
Written by Trent Reznor (C) 1996 Leaving H
ope/TVT Music. ASCAP All Rights Reserved.
Technically, I'd say you're both right. They consolidated the credits in later editions (no further details inside manual):
^^ That's the version I've always had, too. "Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails for sound effects and music".
It's possible they removed the solo composition credit to avoid pissing off Vrenna even further (he left the band anyway and did his own video game scores pretty soon after this). Probably John Malm's fault...
I wonder if the credits will be revised or expanded in any way for this release?

How do you guys think they'll deal with the length of the soundtrack?
It's almost 60 minutes long on game CD, which is less than optimal for a single vinyl. Maybe some longer tracks would be trimmed or even skipped altogether?
It'll definitely be a double LP, mark my words.
I think I remember reading something about Twiggy from Marilyn Manson (Jeordie White) helping on the sound affects years ago as well while hanging out with Trent. in an interview or discussion once...
