Oh man, this is amazing. I'm teary-eyed with nostalgia, too. For anyone who is unfamiliar with the demoscene and tracker music, here are some recommended old-s

  Yes! I miss the tracking scene. Some amazing music came out of that format.

    Catch that Goblin!! and 2nd Reality were so amazing to me when I was into trackers.
  • amatecha 8y ago
    Yeah Skaven had some tracks in Bejeweled as well :)
  • Jare 8y ago
    Catch that Goblin was amazing, when it started playing at the partyplace, everyone sort of stopped not paying attention to the compo, and turned their heads with a "wtf" face. IIRC some of the samples got Skaven in trouble with Disney.

  I'm just going to throw in my recommendation of virtually -anything- by Moby: https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/?file=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.modarchive.org%2Fdownloads.php%3Fmoduleid%3D34026 https://www.stef.be/bassoontracker/?file=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.m... Damn - this player is awesome; I was never someone who could make tracker music, but I loved to listen to it back in the day on my Amigas (both of which I still own). Getting new MODs from Fred Fish and other ways was always a treat. Ah...and Octamed...this has brought a touch of nostalgia, etc - for me. Those times are long past, but a bit of them can still be enjoyed with this software. So - thank you, exogeny.

    I thought you were talking of Richard Melville Hall. I did not know about this other Moby ;)

    My favorite by Moby was Knulla Kuk : https://elmobo.bandcamp.com/track/knulla-kuk https://elmobo.bandcamp.com/track/knulla-kuk I thinks he calls himself Elmobo these days.

  Audiomonster's music on Ice by TSL was phenomenal. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JaG1vIkmhk4 https://youtube.com/watch?v=JaG1vIkmhk4 the first track was worth removing the disk to be able to listen the whole thing. I believe he now scores movie soundtracks.
