Quake's original soundtrack has few notable melodies in it, instead blending into the game's dark, frightening tone and adding emotional impact that enhances the game's gothic overtones.

Reznor, a fan of id Software's DOOM, gladly helped the developer create the soundtrack for its new game. He opted to create a soundtrack that functioned less as a melody and more as an added layer of atmosphere, approaching it as something to be experienced rather than just listened to.
