One of the best MODs ever. Right up there with Enigma, Stardust Memories, Elysium, and others.
From a technical perspective, the level of musicality that some artists could derive within the limitations is truly crazy. 100k or so, 8-bit samples, four channels, and composed (basically) from a Norton Commander-style interface. Not to mention a majority of these songs were composed when the musicians were teenagers!
Would be happy to set up a playlist for those who would like an introduction to the scene!
- exogeny 5y agoI went ahead and created it: https://youtu.be/thnXzUFJnfQ https://youtu.be/thnXzUFJnfQ I stayed within the Amiga scene, which means a lot of the picks are demo soundtracks that have that Italo/synthpop kind of style. But there's lots of classics in there, from Jester/Sanity (Germany) to Firefox & Mantronix/Phenomena (Sweden) to Dr. Awesome/Crusaders (Norway) and on. Captain, is of course, Finnish. Let the Eurovision-ish arguments commence ;)
- EarlKing 5y agoThat just links to Space Debris, not whatever playlist you created. I was going to poke through and see if I could recommend any additions, but, well... here we are.
- exogeny 5y agoAh, crap -- let me see what I can do. Thanks! I guess I can't edit above -- try this instead: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbuV2RJYsZvnVw5-MX-XytuZPULGJ-FEM https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbuV2RJYsZvnVw5-MX-Xy...
- DrPhish 5y agoI would recommend bitjam podcast in general, but episode 20[0] is a great introduction to some hits of the scene from over the years. Highly recommended for the nostalgia hit, and just great tunes! Onward by Jugi is easily my all time favourite mod (extended format with huge channel count!)
