I came across this beauty as soon as it was released, and aside from the lovely Neptunian theme of the graphics, it has THE most hummable music I've ever heard, and which is also quite complex-sounding and even haunting:

Of course, I had to hunt down the music module for it, but these were the results I came up with:

Frustratingly, there was no download link for the tune, and as I investigated, I discovered that the tune was actually called not "mod.ulysses shines", but "mod.for ever ulysses" (http://amp.dascene.net/downmod.php?index=12301)

The thing is, the mod sounds only vaguely like the tune in the demo, as just the bass track. I would surmise that this demo utilises a specialist custom music player for the main tune, which allows for all the complex subtle changes we can hear, which is beyond the scale of Protracker. The upshot of it all is, aside from an MP3 or a YouTube video, it's hard to get a version of this tune for Android mod players.

Shame, really. But the tune is still BRILLIANT.
