Help with Old Mod on Cassette

Darmok72 · 26 July 2020, 21:47

Hello all,

Sometime ago I posted a small sample of a MOD I have on cassette and unfortunately it didn't ring any bells here.

I have a much longer sample now and I'm hoping someone might recognize it! I've been listening through hours of clips on YouTube of Amiga Demos from around the late 80's when I think this was recorded but so far no joy - even though the type of samples used seems to be from the era. I thought maybe a cracktro but it doesn't seem the sort of piece you would have on that?

Sorry for the poor quality.

Any help most welcome!

This sounds like quite early Soundtracker stuff to me, using a lot of ST-01 samples for sure, so its quite early, 1988 onwards I would say.

I listen to tons of MOD each day (since 5 years), but this is new for me

Maybe ask there as well.

Where did you record it from? Player (Protracker, etc.) or game/demo directly? It could be fc3/fc4/okt/cust as well. They are harder to find.

It really doesn't seem an exotic format

I agree with Galahad, sounds like a Soundtracker module

It's a very old cassette I recorded at a friends house in the late 80s. I honestly can't remember whether it was a demo or cracktro but it doesn't sound like a game to me.

I just quite like it and was curious to find out what it was. But with all the tracks created around that time using all the same sample set it could be tricky...

Sounds like a remix/sound-a-like of Crockett's Theme.

I thought that or Big in Japan by AlphaVille. Close but not quite...

Good find. MK2 format.. even worse than i thought.

Doesn't sound all too bad if you push it a little.

That's incredible -thank you very much! How did you find it? Just an insane knowledge of amiga music? You've made my day.

Nah, it's mostly luck

I recognized Mark II sound system sounds and it was just a matter of trying my luck on the few Amiga prods with those.
