It's something to cry about. All the world lost it's magic after 1999, cultural, musical, all future dreams faded, all creativity faded and individuality grew into intolerable rate.

I'm an American who didn't know of the Amiga as a child. So I had no idea who Jogeir was but one day a few years back I search videogame music and found this. I exercise to this music all the time and have even lost 25 pounds (11.3kg), so Jogeir has influenced me to be healthier and has changed my life. For that I am gracious.

[@PrzeszczepiX]

This is kinda weird that lot's of Americans didn't heard about Amiga in 80's and 90's because Commodore Amiga is basically a company from the USA. In fact, Amiga was very popular in Europe in the early-mid 90's

[@jeffh3649]

NEY Industries I was born in 1980 and I'm from the UK. The ZX Spectrum/Commodore was what most households used here until the early 90's until PC's started becoming affordable but even then, the majority of people only had a TV. The problem with the Amiga was that it was pretty expensive for the time and in the context of what it could actually do. It was little more than an expensive gaming computer really. I had to go to my mates to play his. He was the only guy I knew who owned one. He was lucky enough to have fairly wealthy parents.

[@thedude808]

I'm too young to have grown up with trackers and mods but somehow wound up discovering it around 2007 at about 12 years of age. downloaded and ripped a whole bunch from the archive and stuffed them on my iPod. i'm so grateful that i did. defies genre. even a decade later some of the hugest earworms i've ever had have been jogeir tracks. some days out of the blue i will just start humming or whistling one of those amazing tunes.

I remember discovering this video in early 2020. That's when I got to know more about .MODs and tracker music and even this Jogeir guy. I kept seeing this in my recommended.

I always keep coming back to these two compilations made by off1k.

[@tlaskows]

Have you listenined to Wizardry SID or MOD file? that one blows my speakers every time.

[@-Burs]

Wow... Such good memories from back then. There were no internet, and no mp3's, so this was my only source for this music genre (talking about early 80's). And you could save a song only to diskette which today would be able to hold less than 1 minute of an mp3 file. And you could had dozens of them on one diskette (depending on sample quality)! I even did some of my own MOD's/S3M's/XM's. Chip tunes forever!

[@vageliskomninos2723]

if i remember correctly 1 floppy had 751 kb space or close.... Im sure it was less than a megabyte

[@-Burs]

​@@vageliskomninos2723 Actually, Amiga formatted floppy disk was exactly 880KB (11*512-byte sectors/track, multiplied with 80 tracks, and able to write on two sides). I was always unhappy about that, since standard PC formatted floppy disk was able to hold 1.44MB (though, properly formatted, it can hold even 2.8MB). That's roughly two thirds more space on one identical floppy disk, which at that time was a huge advantage. Seeing today's 1TB micro SD cards weighting and in size of 100's times less.. We indeed do live in the future!

[@vageliskomninos2723]

@@-Burs oh yes you are right i forgot how much exactly less than a MB that floppy was. I do remember some games needed 4 or 6 floppys space. and i had a A500+ bought back in 1991 lol what times!! i was entirely consumed with this Amiga for about 8 years when i bought my first windows 95 pc back in 1997. i can only say that Amiga still worked last time i checked in 2012

[@LordHorst]

@@-Burs Well, yes but actually no. It depends on what kind of diskette you have. Single Density (SD), Double Density (DD), Quad Density (QD), High Density (HD) or Extra High Density (EHD). I think DD and HD were by far the most common formats. DD can hold 720KB on a PC, 400KB on a Mac and 880KB on an Amiga, due to different sector sizes and whatnot. So, if you will, there were two standard diskettes: DD with 720/880KB and HD with 1.4MB. AFAIK the A500 never had a disk drive that could read HD disks (I don't know about other Amigas), but it's totally possible to "downgrade" HD disks to DD disks by simply putting some tape over the second hole.

[@-Burs]

​@@LordHorst Yeah, I was talking about Amiga 500, and both A500/A1200 could only make use of 880KB. When you used HD floppy disks (even without tape-hack), these Amiga models would format the diskette as DD, because floppy drives didn't even have the mechanism to detect that second hole. Anyways, if you format it either as 400KB or 1.4MB, it's far below "standard" mp3 size (let's say 3min @128Kbit = ~2.9MB), and that's what I was trying to say before :) Nowadays no one cares about storage space, because it's dirt-cheap haha..

So happy it is getting the attention it always deserved. Even if it is 20-30 years too late. No human should live their lives without hearing this serenity. God Bless You, composers of this ear food.

well an amiga isn't a PC it's more of a CC (consumer computer) since at the time PC's were expensive but an CC like an Atari ST or an Amiga 500 is much more cheaper then even the simplest of PC's and can do more!

Excellent to hear you discovered this. The C64 before the Amiga had a significant relevance and indeed is where many of the greatest digit and bit coders started out. I was always glued to my C64 and Amiga, purely inspiring machines; 20 years later I coded games and demos that I could only dream of making back then. Good luck in making your dreams come true Mr. Next Generation :) As for all this current world wrapping situation, forget it, chill with some quality commodore music :):):)

I had the 1000 and a 500, still have them. Man at the time they were so far ahead of their time. They blew away the PC. No contest.

[@LordRenegrade]

I had a 500, 1200, and 3000. I used the 3000 regularly as a serious machine upwards of 97-98, as it could still do many things better than an equivalent PC, and all without abuse from monopolistic jerkass companies. I regularly used AmIRC, ncftp, YAM and such. At the time, the 3000 only had 2 megs chip and 4 of fast, and the 1200 2/16. I actually still have those machines and sometimes use 'em (although I rely on emulation more these days). I've picked up a second A500, a trio of 1200s for parts, and a 4000 modified into a 4000T with third party parts. The 1200 and 3000 have 64 and 16 megs of fast RAM nowadays.

[@JuxZeil]

The price for an extra 1GB of RAM though....£200 it cost me here in the UK for my A500+.😓

[@melasnexperience]

Too young & too American to have had an Amiga, but I've fallen in love with its musical abilities. Music like this or the compositions of Neurodancer or Jester are just so energizing.

[@PrzeszczepiX]

We in Europe (mainly in Germany, England, Poland) have had that luck to experience Amiga in late 80's and early 90's (mostly). In my country (Poland) it was very popular, if you had Amiga back then you were really lucky and cool kid/teenager. And automatically you got lots of friends on your neighbourhood ;) Amiga 500, 600 and later 1200 were most popular. It was far superior than SNES, ofcourse it had better capabilities, but most of all it wasn't just a game console, it was a fully-fledged computer. Also amiga had great amount of software in its library including mostly games, but also utility programs. In summary: in my country (and not only) amiga raised most of youth born in 70's and 80's at the 90's era :)

In a weird way, it was easier to be creative back then, since you basically had a sequencer and that's it. The sounds you hear, were the sounds you got. Now, you have an infinity possibility of tones and sounds and samples, which leaves no time left for sequencing / composing.

Whenever I have to struggle with problems I listen to it and try to recover memories and feelings of that precious time... Kors (aka MAS, Alex) of Obsession sends greetings to all demoscene members :)

Only computers freaks can understand this music .... just loved>>>>>

Definitely Guitar Slinger is my fave on here! Its sounds so unlike any other mod! The instruments are so clean, it sounds like a real song, if you know what I mean! There is another song i am looking for. Something about cars. It has some Spanish guys in it. I do not know if it is by the same guy that wrote these, but in the same vein. I.E. Using completely different instruments to most other moduels on the Amiga.

+yogibear2k10 Ok, after thinking about this for a bit the tune I think you're looking for is 'Fable about cars 2' by Dreamer. amp.dascene.net/detail.php?detail=modules&view=2260 scroll down to bottom of page and you will see it, hope that's the one :))

Nightbeat made a number of songs similar to this.

This brings back memories! Used to have Physical Presence on a demo disk and let it loop in the background in my room as a kid. Have to say - 15:40 to 16:40 is just sublime!

LOVE my Amiga tracker songs, thanks for the upload.

Bahahahah, I was not expecting a remix of The Snowman in this compilation, but there it is. Nice.

Masterpieces. This. Is. MUSIC. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The best Amiga Soung ever! I love it. Thank you to play it.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

I'm walking in the air. Never thought I'd hear a chip version of that!

[@marcusfred4480]

Wow, was trying to think of the name of that tune too. It's by Nightwish hey?

[@zoolkhan]

this is no chip-tune. This is using samples

[@jiilaa_with_randomness]

It is from an animation called 'The Snowman'. Nightwish covered the song. And Iron Maiden did it too, on 'Somewhere in Time Tour' (Dave Murray plays it on his guitar solo part).

[@MCVessels]

@@zoolkhan Never thought I'd hear a demoscene version of Walking In The Air, either! :)

Amiga no1 computer great compilation of music

[@uplinkx1126]

I used to love making tracker music. Funny how after all these years I can still understand the parameters :)

This comment probably takes up more memory. Such a shame that we lost the ability to see efficiency as an art form.

[@tubical71]

@@aaronmicalowe Just stay away from the M$ sh!t....i use to code for the arduino, and sometimes i do still use ASM for speed and efficiency....:)

[@VastyVastyVoid]

@@aaronmicalowe We haven't. Take a look at the c64 demo "A Mind is Born" by Linus Åkesson. It was written recently, and it's probably as compact as you can get. A 2+ minute demo with music and graphics... in 256 bytes of code. To put it in other terms, in the same space that Guitar Slinger.mod takes up... you could fit one thousand five hundred executables of his demo.

[@aaronmicalowe]

@@VastyVastyVoid nice organic demo. I saw something similar done a ZX81 once. They output the audio as the video output to create audio somehow. This ZX81 only had 1k of memory for the code, the video output and memory for variables and they even incorporated a reflective drawing of a city and a scroller apologising for the out of memory error that was to end it, lol. The guy who wrote it didn't know how to program in ZX81 just a few days before, came into a community, asked for some peek and poke codes, was told it was impossible, and then showed us the demo like magic.

[@VastyVastyVoid]

@@aaronmicalowe Holy crap, that sound amazing. Do you have any resources or links? Even a handle would help.
