One of those themes that stays with you and instantly brings you memories of playing the game. For players who love this trilogy is like hearing the Mortal Kombat theme, can't have one without remembering the other.
A man lit three candles on a certain day each year. Each candle held symbolic significance: one was for the time that had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of his life; and one was for the time that passed after he had died. Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they had burned out. Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense? He thought so. He thought that each flicker of the flame was a moment that had passed or one that would pass. At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles, he was free: not from rules of conduct or social constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, and to make metaphor . Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant. Now I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms. Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints. The candles burn out for you: I am free.

Very good question. Also I think the guys behind this theme were 'The power of seven' but they have disbanded without a trace since. Or something like that.
IMO I probably would have played through all the marathon games, but without a soundtrack it makes me so disappointed especially with how good this song is and how great the first game's OST was A good OST can really elevate every moment in a game and idk what the devs were thinking cutting that out
I agree that a lack of soundtrack was to the detriment of Durandal and Infinity, but you have to keep in mind the context of the times. Back in 1995, there were no video games that even *tried* to make immersion in the world a selling factor, so for them to include real-world ambiance in the levels was genuinely incredible for the time. In a perfect world, we would have been blessed to have both, but I’m grateful that we at least got this banger of a theme.
im so mad a game called Marathon where you teleport into an enclosed space, you fight aliens, read a few emails, and teleport out, is now a game called Marathon where you teleport into an enclosed space, fight aliens, read a few emails, and teleport out.
