D3 Retribution - A New Strain (Level 7), Shotgun (Level 9), and Off Sides (Level 11).

D3 Mercenary - Solar Igni (Level 4) and Pink Slip (Level 5)

Personally, I liked all of the tracks with one exception. I absolutely DETEST that final redbook track on the Vertigo Series CD. That is by far the worst track I have EVER heard.

Now as for my personal favorite....D2 level 4 midi.

D1 level 3 and the \"Haunted\" track from the D2 Redbook stand out the most for me. Every time I hear the opening bars of Haunted, I get all nostalgic.

D1.. levels 7 and 12.
D2 MIDI - level 4 if I had to pick one. Haunted was by far my fav on the Redbook, though.

The intro music from the D2 redbook. I disable the music immediately from every game I own and it's the only one I've heard.

Gunner on the D2 soundtrack, followed closely by the PSX remix of D1 level 12.

Always turned off music while playing D. Have to hear other players or robots.

BTW - has anyone figured out all the lyrics to Ratzez (one of the D2 redbook music)? I can make out the end of each of the parts with lyrics, but not the start.

(The first part ends with something like \"I'll give you twenty cookies; just don't shoot me!)

(The second part ends with \"I don your head! For a shuttle ride! [there are some hiccups in there too.])

D1 has 22 level themes, plus a bunch of others (title screen, credits...)

D2 has 4 midi level themes, (composed by Dan Wentz, who also did some level design) but there are ten level themes on the original redbook CD (most of which are interpretations of Dan Wentz's midis, eg: Gunner Down and Ratzez are the level 1 midi, Cold Reality and Robot Jungle are the level 2 midi, Crush and Glut are the level 3 midi, Are You Descent is the level 4 midi (Techno Industry seems to be a VERY loose interpretation of the level 4 midi as well.))

The others are completely original, or instrumental versions of songs (Haunted).

Oh, BTW - my favourite of the D1 mac/playstation music is the remix of the level 18 midi.

EDIT: That's a little confusing. I mean the level 18 midi from D1, but the levels 1-4 midis from D2.
