Just to add that while most tracked music in the 90s was electronica, there were others who tried different genres. My favorite example is Leviathan's "Dust To Dust", a Scream Tracker 3 composition that tended towards jazz / soft rock with something like a saxophone sound for the lead - once it gets going about a minute in. You can even see briefly in the song notes at the start, Leviathan says "I hopefully will never be forced to return to the typical demomusic genre": https://youtu.be/gFWrHFQdb7E https://youtu.be/gFWrHFQdb7E But even with the original MOD format, Bjorn Lynne / Dr Awesome wrote a lot of Prog Rock MODs inspired by Genesis and other bands.

Oh absolutely! And thank you -- I didn't mean to minimize the genre but I guess I did. I think my favorite opposite-of-electronica would be Joegir Liljedahl's "Guitar Slinger", which he somehow manages to fit into a 4-track MOD, but it sounds like there's so much more going on. Smallest-favorite would be "echoing", which is 43k uncompressed, and manages to be pretty listenable despite its simplicity. It's really fun to watch the rhythm track in a player that shows you the scrolling data...
