As influential and great as the NIN soundtrack for Quake was, I personally preferred Primus's "Pork Soda" as a quite literal drop-in replacement.

The original soundtrack was shipped as regular redbook cd audio: the game was installed to the hard drive and would happily play music from whatever disc was in the CDROM drive.
