Dubmood - 3D Galax (Ben Daglish Cover) (2000)

[@splendidtorch7800]

literally one of the all time most iconic chiptune songs in the history of the internet

[@eyre_]

One lunch break in high school I followed the chain of artists from the cover of this cover that was included as a demo module in Famitracker, through to this cover, through to your other work, and fell in love! This is such an iconic cover of such an amazing melody - thank you for reminding me!!

[@Dubmood_Music]

Thank you! Tracing a remix back to its origins is great fun. I found so much great music that way.

This track (both original and cover) are iconic and I think most people that know the word "chiptune" probably associate it with this, (at least from my experience!) but I never knew Ben actually passed away back in 2018. 52, he left us so early.. :( I appreciate that you and Zabutom have been uploading your classics lately.

Thanks so much mate to share this , Ur the best 8bit artist ever that earth have. Cheers for all this years of tripping

[@Wyvernz]

I knew this track sounded familiar.. The bass in those lower bits are absolutely beautiful, highs mixing in with it like they’re dancing around together are just.. perfection.

Love this one particularly, what a great music, with a beautiful melody. You've made this at 16yo?? Damn thoses geniuses... ❤

[@Dubmood_Music]

Thank you, but well, it is a cover. If I would have composed it at 16... yeah that would have been something :)

@@Dubmood_Music ohh now I understand, but still, that cover rocks!

OMGGGGG AN OFFICIAL UPLOAD YAYAYAYAY

[@EWARS_2]

Teh best soundz It's strange, the copy of FamiTracker I downloaded years ago had some sort of a weird "port" of this cover...? Don't know what that was about.

[@Dubmood_Music]

I have no idea, I never used famitracker, but one of the other commenteers here seems to know more!

Dubmood’s cover was covered in famitracker by the British artist Interrobang Pie. This artist later removed a lot of their work from the internet, and had their famitracker demo anonymised. The artist was connected to the My Little Pony fandom in the early 2010s. Among their other accomplishments was winning an MLP fan music competition on the theme of “where rainbows really come from” with an almost-shitpost-tier comedy rap. The song “Rainbow Factory” by Woodentoaster came in second place - a fun bit of trivia that delights terminally online 20somethings who know the latter track as a viral success. Importantly, *both of these artists* have either covered Dubmood or included his work on publicly available playlists … Dubmood fans show up in the weirdest places 🥲 Personally I think Pie’s famitracker cover is a genuinely good track. It’s clearly rooted in Dubmood’s material as opposed to any other version of the piece, but where Dubmood’s version is space-ey and open, the famitracker version is staccato, and kind of thrilling? It’s a different angle on the piece that couldn’t exist without this Dubmood cover. I’m pretty sure the cover artist isn’t mentioned anywhere in it anymore but Dubmood and Daglish still are. It was years before work by the cover artist made its way back online through archive channels - when I first searched it years ago it drew mostly blanks - but I first found Dubmood because he was mentioned in that module.

@@eyre_ wow. thanks for the detailed story. I am surprised that I was completely unaware of this. Having onces track, even if it is a cover, included as a demotrack of a tracker is a great honor. I wish I would have known.

[@EWARS_2]

@@eyre_ Woah, thanks for the lore, that's a lot
