Amiga music: Jester - Stardust Memories

[@sninctbur3726]

This isn't just a third-party sample of some exotic instrument. These sounds, in their original form, ARE the voice of the computer. That is so inspiring.

[@aydink7739]

Still listening each week. Amiga hits different

[@AndyJohnston-q6i]

A timeless Amiga masterpeice from an incredible period!!

[@GuruMediator]

Scene talents like this was what inspired me to want to create, long live the Amiga and all it's legends!

[@d0dge947]

Remember nodding my head left and right to this after school when I was barely 15 and watching the demo for virtually the 600th time.

[@red85pl]

OMG! It's 20 years... amazing!

[@MoonWolf_yt]

Now it's 30...

[@oraclejmt]

@@MoonWolf_yt And still as amazing. Nothing beats it. Literally. Amigaforever.

[@DunkirkIsOn]

An eternal amazing Amiga module!!! Thanks so much for it Jester!!!

[@TableWolfMusic]

I won't lie. I did click that replay button.

[@jrn_v1]

The memories of this tune...

[@mortundad]

I always cry of joy when I hear this tune and I'm a bit drunk...

[@caos68k]

I always put on this tune when I'm drunk!

[@foxboxNRW]

Me too

[@blueuser2465]

best music theme of the space ever

[@reduser6928]

Blue User it's truth!

[@blueuser2465]

+Red User, Thanks, Bro!

[@spqninjapl]

Project X and Hired Guns Themes are as good as this belive me ;)

[@mortundad]

Blue User I always cry of joy when I listen to this tune and I'm a bit drunk...

[@mortundad]

spqninjapl Project X is truly awesome.

[@birchna]

Straight up fight between this, Enigma, Overload and Space Debris as to the best Amiga mod of all time. Not possible to choose one, all simply legendary... :D

[@mygamingroom1512]

Overload is the best EVER for me

[@KurisuKagato]

I'd frag people in multiplayer classic DooM with this music! 😎

[@eskeskeskeres]

I will never believe, that this old technology song contains HARDER BEATS than current DJs Drumm & Bass scene. But its truth.

[@tcozzol]

Maybe da best amiga mod ever? :-)

[@Ander01SE]

I vote hyperbased! :O kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5uao5evr5qFe9k (remixed version)

[@JestersDeadUK]

Enigma - Phenomenon

[@fluffymcdeath]

I had an A500 with a program that could trigger commands at certain times. With the Amy plugged into my stereo this was my wake-up mod.

[@jarsamo]

Aw lord, this is one of the absolute best Amiga mods there is. Thank you Jester!

[@reduser6928]

Insuperable tune! It's incredible.. awesome!

[@jojos08]

wonderful tune

[@slobberi]

Got to be one of the best .mods ever made ! Jester ruled/rules !!!! :)=

[@nkronert]

This sure brings back some stardust memories! 🤟 I've always imagined how it would sound if one were to recreate songs like this one with high quality samples. But I think that would take away from the original and the memories of the time in which they were created.

[@ToniKoo]

You don’t have to imagine anymore - this one sounds awesome! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vXfKZsl9Zgd6M

[@nkronert]

@@ToniKoo thanks for the link. Nice remix!

Now you know where Spacesynth musicians get their ideas from for their awesome synthesizer tunes -- the old Amiga demos! Of course, Spacesynth tunes are done with full-blown modern MIDI synth and CD quality sampler setups, but imagine if Amigas had that advanced digital audio hardware back in those days. If I had a time machine (other PC makes are available, as is other Apple Mac OS 10 software -- sorry I couldn't resist that one) I would _love_ to travel back to 1992 with my Samsung laptop PC and show some Amiga owners these _awesome_ Amiga demo-like Spacesynth songs! If you want to hear some terrific Amiga demo-like synth music, check out Area 51 on KZbin. The musicians may even be from the same Area 51 that was an Amiga demo group back in the day. Now, that really _would_ be spooky! Also check out The New Generation Of Spacesynth: The Second Coming. That brill synth music is _really_ Amiga demo-like in places, as well as being very Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream like in places. I wonder if any Roland D-50 synths were used in any of the awesome synth songs? The Roland D-50 was a favourite digital synth of Jean Michel and lots of other electronic musicians at the time (1988), including Tangerine Dream and the Pet Shop Boys. Some of the vocoder voice FX in some of these Spacesynth songs are just _awesome_! I have just played The New Generation Of Spacesynth, and still cannot believe how Amiga demo-like this brill synth music is. As a matter of interest, Spacesynth was actually the name of a Roland D-10 synth sound I programmed myself back in 1989 (I think), and then what happens? Synth musicians in the 21st century "steal" my D-10 synth sound name to mean a new genre of electronic music. The cheek of it! By the way, as far as I know, Spacesynth (the electronic music genre) didn't exist back in the late 1980s, so my Roland D-10 synth sound of the same name was unique back then. Wow! It used some PCM samples of what sounded like a continuous flute sound. I haven't played it for years, so cannot remember exactly what it sounds like. But this Amiga demo tune is just _awesome_! And it is one I don't have on any of my Amiga demo floppy disks either, so it has gone straight into my Opera bookmarks. Anyway, thanks for reading. Alastair C Parker (a mega Amiga fan since 1988.)

[@envanligfjant]

Umm, you do know that spacesynth was invented long before the Amiga came out, right?

[@ml-zj4oh]

Obviously not.

[@treehann]

Area 51 is certainly not a google-able name. Got a link to them?

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

Sounds of a halcyon time. Before mine, for sure (I was born in 2000, and the IBM-compatible is all I know)... but hell. This is music. Jester, if you're out here, your song's still getting played thirty-one years out.

[@tmbe_official]

93' My first techno beats was created on this 4 tracks. :)

[@ooo.coreltd6416]

I love it!

[@originalvagabond1]

We used to try to compose raggamuffin' hard coré béats on this kind'treasure!

[@Stonkish]

Pew, that was a real rush! Awesome tune!

[@Kuokka77]

@bniedermann Main melody (the composition) is definitely unique, so claiming that the "melody is actually from Tip & Firefox", is way too much said imo. The instrument (sample) used for main melody is very similar though. Please note that i had to resort to Google Translate to understand anything from your reply (it might've translated in a wrong way). Therefore i'm not 100% sure whether you were also talking about sample similarity or composition similarity.

[@maratonnellata]

let's say that this may be inspired from the music from the previous demo, or they were both inspired by a common earlier source. I always loved this song and still feels great today, but you can't deny they are similar indeed (I didn't know the cited demo before)

[@laurent64]

I remember back in the days when I saw the demo for the first time and heard this music, I immediately felt the similarity with the tune from Enigma which is still my favorite of the two :)

[@psenough]

this is awesome :)

[@umitanonymous3400]

Nice Music

[@0kti]

Great tune

[@demianschultz3749]

That was fun

[@amigademos]

this and Captains Beyond Music do it every time e

[@zyancalikola]

The main melody SAMPLE i.e. the INSTRUMENT has been taken from the Enigma mod by Tip/FFX. And it states so very clearly in the original mod text. Nonetheless, the composition and whole overall vibe of the tune have nothing much to do with Hyperbased (the Enigma demo tune) at all.

[@simonebernacchia]

At ther time was common practice to "borrow" samples from other mods considered the lack of resources - it might still happen now but much less thanks to the moltitude of free sample libraries :)

tja was soll man sagen, ohne den Song von Enigma währe dieses geniale Stück wohl niemals entstanden, ich mag übrigens beide Songs sehr gerne, Stardust Memoriers sogar nen Stück mehr als das Original von Enigma

Anyone else know this one from the mac game ShadowWraith? Can hardly believe it’s only 4 channels!

Better melody than any Katy Perry song. Or pretty much anything else that trends in Spotify

[@bniedermann]

Für mich war das jahrelang das beste Amiga-MOD. Bis ich realisiert habe, dass die Melodie eigentlich von Firefox & Tip stammt. Leicht nachzuprüfen im Demo "Enigma" von "Phenomena".

The music was synchronized with the demo, watch it like this, it will be more coherent: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2WWpntjoLajsM0
