Amiga music recommendations

Parsec · 19 February 2010, 15:33

I got myself two little iPhone apps, SID Player Pro and Mod Player Pro. Both quite good fun.

Thing is, on the SID player I knew loads of good tunes that I wanted to listen to. Despite the Amiga having much better sound than the C64, my memory is a bit blank on what great Amiga mods I should be listening to.

So far I've got Batman, Apolocalypse City and not much else.

What would you recommend?

Acidjazzed Evening

Silent Attack

Anything by Moby or Jester

My amiga games music TOP3:

1) Space Crusade in-game *
2) Goldrunner intro
3) Lotus Esprit Turbo intro

* midi rendition through Yamaha QY100: http://shagriml.vkoski.net/temp/scrmxtry1.mp3 (don't get me wrong I love the original chiptuneish sound but a little variation is good

)

Super Stardust
Unreal (although background sample might be outta sync)

I've used some tracks from http://www.amigaremix.com/ as ringtones before now.

Do a search for U4IA or F8 (Jim Young) some of his stuff is a bit mad but other stuff is just classic.
Most of, in fact virtually all of his music was created on a standard A500.

See if you can get the trance/techno stuff - "Freudian Dream and Take a trip from me" are excellent tracks.
Actually I have put Freudian Dream in the Zone for you. (Helps if your speakers have a bit of power!)
