4mat - Madness

[@DaleKirkley]

Still digging this tune after all this time.

[@riktorious8555]

Matt Simmonds is a legend:)

Been listening to 4mat for years, thought I'd heard every single tune so I resigned to listening to the same ones over and over again, every day. Somehow I've never heard this song-- and I learned his real name! Thanks for this upload :)

[@IntrinsicPalomides]

Checkout the Demo it's from: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ2lpGSQmJuGn8k Also the sequel with a much nicer tune imo :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2avn36MbLSWi6c

Great track this. first heard it in 1991. still good 25 years later!

[@DERichTech15]

Awesome demo track, 4mat, especially a bold opening to the song! P.S.: That bell sound 4:23 sound almost like the Taco Bell bell sound! Funny since Taco Bell started using the bell sound 10 years after this song released!

[@fkc.9933]

Damn. The first 20 seconds of this majestic tune sound, especially from 0:07 on, exactly like an 8-bit version of the Chemical Brothers' "The Private Psychedelic Reel". With the exception that this piece was made circa 1995, whereas "Dig Your Own Hole" was released in 1997. I'm wondering if they ever stumbled upon Chipmusic back in the days.

[@johnstringer9037]

This track dates back to 1990 from Anarchy's Madness Demo.

I loved these when I was young...

memories.....

[@mateuszmichalak6707]

Awesome!!!!! I want that skill!!To make peopes back to the past days!!Thank You 4mat!!!!!!!!!

[@windowsvierutofficialyay]

this motivated me to actually work on my game instead of being lazy

[@Jabbasoft1]

seminal track for me. I translated it over to etracker on the sam coupe via ear and amiga protracker. Mr Simmonds was my chip tune god, who doesn't remember the Lemmings cracktro or Chuck Rock or Hysterisis (sp?) or that CES Intro tune (another burned into my brain and redone on 8-bit)... I think a revival is needed, for sandboxed demos (does anyone do docker demos?) and what can be done without FMV and 41k wavs.

4Mat, The master of chiptunes.

[@hier0phant336]

Amazing music

[@markusTegelane]

It's madness, how great this song is

[@ornithaevum]

4:23 i like your cut g

[@joshuabeck7356]

The melody reminds me of Dna dream, which is also by 4-mat.

[@SuperKnapkin]

Aw shit! Stamper likes 4mat!

[@Danielpizzaman]

Wonderful. Can i get on itunes?

[@thirdstar248]

no, only in modarchive.org

[@brendanstein88]

@@thirdstar248 I think you were a little late.

[@thirdstar248]

@@brendanstein88 too late, not little late because that comment is 8 years old (not the answers)

[@origamigek]

Exactly what does this song have to do with Stamper?

[@RusslandTV]

isn´t it called "Madness took me"? It was standing like that in the module, I think

[@RobynVids]

Madness took me is a song by Uncle Tom. This track is called "4-mat's.madness" in the module I have on my computer, though.

[@intrepidis1]

I would love to hear this remastered. Still keep the awesome chiptune beeps and whistles but upgrade some of the other samples.

[@xaviergreer8738]

Is supposed to be surprising when stamper likes something?

[@ExtremeWreck]

This year this track will turn 32 years old! EDIT: Correction 2025 EDIT: 35 years old!

[@ceddyd]

Yo what?

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@ceddyd Yup, 26 YEARS OLD!!!

[@vijfsnippervijf]

Congratulations!!!!

[@johnstringer9037]

Nope, it came out in 1990 on the Madness demo by Anarchy.

[@ExtremeWreck]

@@johnstringer9037 I thought it was from 1995, at least according to some sources I found before making this comment.
