As soon as Radix started using Fasttracker II, his music just soared right through the stratosphere. imho he also released the best and most original music after his "scene" years.

[@KarLKoX]

"Awesome" is another underated composer with some excellent samples quality and a quite original tunes.

[@alystair]

@@KarLKoX if you're talking about Dr. Awesome (Bjorn Lynne) he went on to work with Team17 on the entire Worms series of games many many years ago

[@user-sl6gn1ss8p]

@@alystair great work there too

[@erebusreact0r]

Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where, uh, Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.

p4 was overkill for these trackers, but trakers was most "soulfull" daws in p4 era. so yeah i was overklocking it for use of modern Skale Traker

Holy shit, there's a throwback... I remember Point of Departure being my introduction to tracker music from an early Zdoom deathmatch map- it was so complex and layered, I was instantly hooked on this stuff. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :)

[@aetherarcanist4819]

[@EbenezerEibenhardt]

Was a DOS game called In Pursuit of Greed that used Point of Departure for the shareware demo. Man, I was addicted to that song for two years!!

Deadlock is so well written, it's crazy.

[@user-ik7dq7ex4u]

I grew up with that stuff. Nice to remember.

[@jhinnyg]

Damn you seem to just be growing daily, keep up the uploads! I loved your analyses of demoscene music and I hope you keep making them. The playlists are just a nice added bonus to that :)

[@EricsWormPlayground]

Those demos were outrageous. Loved them.

[@Ravetracer]

Damn! That puts a loooooot of memories back into my mind. Around 90% of the chosen tracks are my favs as well! Earlier this year I also started to put my own classic tracker songs here on KZbin, played back in the FT2 clone which is free and works with Win, Linux, Mac.

[@coolie4u]

This is exactly the content I want to see. Best Tracks from the good days of DOS PC and Amiga. Very good selection 🤩

[@AngryKirC]

Amazing compilation, now I can refer to this when people ask what kind music I am into :D thank you!

[@cjnf11]

Oh man it is just impossible to tell how much I love Yuki Satellites. Yeah I'm a fan of Necros (I'd easily put like 10 of his tracks to the top of any list) and PM, but this is something else.

[@eigentensor]

You should watch the demo that it accompanies :)

[@Northaxe]

I will forever remember Aryx as the Pentium 4 overclocking song

[@override7486]

Wow, DejaVu, circa 2001-2002 I believe? I loved comparison between Intel and AMD. Intel - just throttling down, AMD - going into flamey torch in split second ^_^/ (Testing my Duron 700MHz upgrade looked similar, after buying from auction and powering up without heatsink, just to see if it's even working. It wasn't me, but friend testing it, but I learned the lesson :( LOL)

[@danieldevine]

Love that so many people relate to that video too hahahha

[@vinava9145]

[@terrortalks3037]

Oh yeah, that's a great one!

[@cherrymountains72]

Instant nostalgia for me and it has this incredible “not a problem in the world” vibe for me. Definitely feel-good music for me.

[@mala_raman]

The moment "Guitar Slinger" started, my brain went "you still have this, recorded to a cassette tape" :)

[@roland_the_cursor]

Takes me to a warm sunny day in the late 90s, going out with family for ice cream and returning home to play some Dreamcast or hop on the PC and draw in MS Paint.. xD

[@thej3799]

All these are so good. I've seen videos of this software before. What is it? How do you use it?

[@beej_tunes]

this is called Schism Tracker, it is a music tracker! there are other easier to use trackers too like OpenMPT, but I like the way Schism Tracker looks for my videos. you can find tutorials for trackers online, but I have been thinking about making a basic tutorial at some point....

[@zetor2K]

@@beej_tunes i think, the original one is called Scream Tracker, made by Psi/FutureCrew. The theme in the video looks familiar to me even in the last track, which is the original colour scheme of ST3 (ScreamTracker3). These trackers made S3M files, which we like to listen. There are also XM files, but they are coming from another tracker.

[@sub-zero-kitty]

[@MichaelEilers]

Which version of the tracker is this? The track level display on the left is absolutely nonsense

[@XylenRoberts]

Reminds me of a more primitive 90s version of the tracks I used to make on Fruity Loops back in the 00s before I moved onto a combination of Reason and analog equipment. I mean Fruity Loops is basically just more advanced tracker software but the setup is very similar. I even applied a similar lowtech type method to incorporating the non-FL tracks and samples to old 90s tracker software, recording all of it (samples, keyboards, vocals) into either this crappy MP3 player mic or into my trusty Tascam 4-track. Good times.

[@KarLKoX]

Renoise is more the nextgen tracker rather than FL IMHO

[@XylenRoberts]

@@KarLKoX not familiar with it though I see now there is a physical tracker called Polyend. Too expensive for my taste.

[@4ztaroth]

@@KarLKoX it is, renoise maintains the original tracker style like impulse or fasttracker, fl studio can't be considered a tracker.
