Necros / FM - Point of Departure (1995) - Impulse Tracker

[@DanielSeven]

This is the song that "initiated" me into electronic music composition and production.

[@gomenoni]

fue usada en un juego llamado in pursuit of greed

[@fuchsiebabe]

Something about this song, dude. Hearing it for the first time 20 years ago, it inspired me in the same way. ✌

[@Jukestar]

I am 30 now and discovered tracker music at around 18 years old or so, but also didn't realize that I was listening to tracker music all-the-way back at 5 years old with games like Jazz Jackrabbit 2! Definitely inspired me with my own music!

[@thatmr.a8010]

Bless you man. This track pretty much introduced me to PC tracking. I trasferred all my Amiga mods to PC around that time and soon afterwards I switched to PC Octamed using the same mod files I had on the Amiga. Golden times to be sure.

[@Ciopekwah]

the idea that a tune this beautiful was done in '95 on a regular consumer PC is absolutely mindblowing to me... vsts and shit is cool and all but a bunch of 8bit samples is enough to summon a whole range of emotions if u're talented!

[@DjAdam16]

Without a doubt there were many talented people in this scene. Sucks to see not a lot of them got the credit they deserved.

[@Solid_EXC]

@Dr. Quarex Demoscene in Amiga was for me my best chillhood i remember only playing Octamed day and night

[@Cyberartist_Cybotron71]

It was not a consumer PC, It was an inspiration for many. Anyhow if fully agree about emotions. BTW: Necros is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Sega

[@Cyberartist_Cybotron71]

@Dr.Quarex indeed i also felt this way

[@Cyberartist_Cybotron71]

oops it is already stated in the "more information pane" when i click on it. Allright then😁

[@robokatwave]

This song touches my soul.

[@moffin25]

Ohhh god this brings back memories. So many hours in Impuse and Scream Tracker. This track is insane... i still listen to it now in 2022. Such an epic workout song!

Seeing this song run in a tracker again takes me back... when the power of computers was really ramping up and everyone could feel the change coming.

This track has been with me and has inspired me for almost 30 years. I'm honoured to have been alive and experienced this in many ways.

First heard it in UT, and have enjoyed it for nearly 20 years now. :)

[@TommyAgramonSeth]

I too have heard it first in UT99, I had a map compilation from some old German game magazine borrowed from a friend. I liked the song so much I converted it to MP3 and listened to it all the time on my phone. After both of my old HDD and the phone died, I lost all hope I'll ever find it again. Now, thanks to an amazing video by Ahoy - "Trackers: The Sound of 16-Bit" I finally found it again and it nearly brought me to tears.

[@DjAdam16]

@@TommyAgramonSeth Amen to that! I thought I knew everything about Sound Trackers, Demo Scene and UT until Ahoy's video. Fuck, that was just intense.

[@rivken95]

@@davidzachary7152 I heard it in a bt (bunny track) map like 15 yrs ago :D beautiful piece

Oh, I love this track. It has such a tender upbeat vibe. So wistful yet ready to face the day.

[@Cyberartist_Cybotron71]

You got it, that was i wanted to say. Upbeat and tenderness sounds🥰

[@av3nger3]

this is breathtakingly good

[@fabiofzero]

One of the greatest electronic tracks of all time, tracker or not!

[@StillTheVoid]

It truly is.

[@joeconti2396]

This song was also in the community map CTF-Catherine for UT99 which is where I originally heard it.

[@notation254]

this is a legit tracker tune

[@CommanderZoom]

Downloaded this one back in the 90s and it's still in my collection / on my playlist. Thanks for sharing.

[@sulphurous2656]

I can hear some of the same samples that ended up being used in Unreal at the start. Awesome.

[@already_dreamed]

Sound of this type of music brings so much childhood nostalgia!

[@televisionandcheese]

Oh my word this is amazing !! You don't need an amiga to do tracker music. This alone proves that.

[@Eon119]

Ironically I've just wrote on another video (8-bit guy) that the reason I switched from the Amiga to PC in 1995 was because of Impulse Tracker.

[@Solid_EXC]

But you should say nothing will be the same if amiga dont was in there Amiga brings up a new level soo far away for that time

[@bgone5520]

Trackers were first on the Amiga. Years ahead of the PC.

[@AceMcLoud42]

I first met with the song in the "in pursuit of greed"

Same here, same.

[@jktech2117]

This isnt nostalgia... This is meeting something actually good that even if you havent lived it you want to go back in time. One thing i can say is that the things were simpler and happier and more peaceful back in the day, im from early 2000s but since brazil is quite behind than rest of the world was really like living the 90s culture and tech wise. I miss the peaceful simplicity.

That's correct. Andrew Sega (Necros) composed 'In Pursuit of Greed' but sadly this track can only be heard in the demo version of the game.

[@KriscrossnewsDe]

I don't know. Playing with dead by Nighthawk is also a very good song, but the vibe is different. Maybe it is this kinda morphing sound in the background, I first recognized in Second Reality by Future Crew.
