Not just Amiga, .mod music crossed over into the PC community as well quite robustly, once Sound Blaster cards with digital output entered the market around 1991. I never had an Amiga but I've still got a couple hundred .mods from the BBS and demo scene days, that are still in regular rotation in Winamp. My eternal favorite, Elysium by Jester: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTtjvbAvsys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTtjvbAvsys
They do make great coding music. Not coincidentally, .mods resemble code, being in a way code themselves, with tightly structured and repetitive patterns but also with their own creativity flowing over the top.
- nevster 14y agoThanks! I haven't listened to Elysium in a long time. Brings back memories of coding to mods playing in WinAmp back in the late 90's...
