Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past
00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: In today's game, we go down into an abyss of a hell built on the best of premises. The soul of the most important philosopher of the 20th century hovers over a bastion of freedom that is now just a battle ground of a dead paradise. As we run between the crazed citizens that once believed in the dream they were promised, we must face the question of what freedom really means. Who is free, and who must follow orders? Would you kindly listen to the story of today's game "Bioshock", released in 2007.
00:49 Tuna and Cs127 - Constellation
07:08 DJ Daemon speaks: In 1926, a young woman by the name of Alisa Z. Rosenbaum moved to the United States. Her memory haunted by the attrocities by the Soviet Union, she became a wellknown and influential philosopher. After a rocky start, she reached success under the pen name "Ayn Rand". She released the book "the Fountain head" and later "Atlas Shrugged". Those books set the stage for her own ideology: objectivism. This was later adopted by many that valued the strength of inviduality over collectivism. She praised the power of self fulfillment, egoism and the power of the individualism. She resented altruism and hedonism. The strong business leader, the fearless artist and the undeterred scientists were her heroes. Helping yourself stod on higher moral ground than sacrificing for others. She saw the United Stated as a country in socialist free fall. In the book "Atlas shrugged", we follow Dagny Taggart whose journey leads to the elusive "John Galt". The latter is a person that is more of a legend, who has disappeared without a trace. In the last part of the book, he is found again. He has created a town called "Galts gulch". This town is a paradise of individual freedom with very few legal and moral restrictions. What if "Galt's gulch" was located under the sea near Island and was indeed a paradise where the businesman could earn, the scientist could invent and the artist create? We are going there in Bioshock, to a small paradise called Rapture.
09:05 Harlequin - X'96 invitation - 2nd round
13:12 DJ Daemon speaks: You're fightring the cold waves of the Atlantic, frantically swimming to the a nearby lighthouse while the airplane you travelled with slowly sinks into the ocean. As you reach land and walk into the lighthouse. The you find the bathysphere and travel down into the city of Rapture, located under the sea. Your entry into Rapture is accompanied by a speech by raptures creator, Andrew Ryan. His name is off course an anagram of "Ayn Rand". So this is pretty much him embodying the core tenents of Objectivism. He speaks like John Galt, telling you that Rapture is the home of the greatest minds of the centuary and a society built on uncontrolled and unregulated art, science and business. The first view of the underground paradise is beautiful. You see a "skyline", if that is the proper word, of skyscrapers. As you reach the destination, the dream falls apart.
14:19 Beyond - Waiting
17:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The first seconds of the game is a total catastrophy. When you see the city, the first thing to happen is an attack by something that looks like a disfigured human being with some sort of claws attacking another humanoid. Soon, a message comes over the short wave radio you picked up. It's Atlas. A man who somehow know your here and asks you to help him. He needs you to go see him and guides your along the way through the terror and the mayham. You quickly learn that the people attacking you are the citizens of the now almost destroyed city. They are horribly disfigured and totally insane. They seem to believe as is well and this is just another day, while being totally oblivious to where they are and what they have become.
18:18 Candiedcat - TitleOLD
22:11 DJ Daemon speaks: Rapture was founded in 1946 by industrialist Andrew Ryan. It was a hidden from the world and people living there were sworn to secrecy. All went well until a seaslug later named Adam was found. The scientists found out that it could be used to splice genes in human beings. With it, you could change yourself to get super human abilities. Suddenly you got supersmart, strong or could throw lightning bolts. This exploded in popularity. But the unrestricted nature of the scientific development came with a heavy price. Using it was called splicing and a user hence was a "splicer". Doing it too much deformed your face and you eventuelly lost your mind.,
23:10 C512w and Viraxor - Your new friend
25:32 DJ Daemon speaks: The year is 1960 and you arrive in the tail end of the civil war that has torn rapture apart. Splicers attack eachother to get the precious Adam. It is always in short supply, so you have to extract it from the belly of a dead splicer. And then there are the little sisters. They are mindcontrolled little girls that can generate Adam in their bellies. This is a much sought after commodity, so each little sister is guarded by a "big daddy". A man trapped in a armored diving suite with a huge drill that they attack with. It is safe to be near them or their little girl protege. But attack you must, otherwise you will not have enough Adam to use for your own purposes. The big daddies can be hard to take down, but once you do, you're presented with a moral dllemma: what do you do with the little girls? You can free them and get a small dose of Adam or kill them and get a lot of Adam. Saving all, killing some or killing all will change the endings of the game.
26:49 Revvobolt - Paula's percussion
30:32 DJ Daemon speaks: At a point you must confront Andrew Ryan, who is holed up in his apartment. There you learn the nasty truth of who you are. You know you're name is Jack. But the rest is a total lie. You learn that you were bred outside of Rapture with Ryan's DNA, in order to be able to sneak through all the lockdowns that only allow relatives of mr. Ryan to pass. And another scaring experience is when you learn that you have been brainwashed into obeying all orders starting with "Would you kindly…". Andrew Ryan mocks you for being little more than a slave with his infamous "a man chooses, a slave obeys" line. He has given up on his failed dreams and orders you to kill him. And you cannot resists the urge and end him with his own golf club.
31:42 Ikage - Brighter days
35:09 DJ Daemon speaks: I don't know about John Galt, but who is Atlas? You know, your friend, who has been guiding you throughout the journey through the madness. He was the leader of the civil war against Andrew Ryan. Eventually, you find out that Atlas is a fake identity of Frank Fontaine. Yes, Andrew's cheif competitor. He was once a common thug, but rose to become a successful businessman in his own right. He is the game's main villain. It's impossible to cover all ground here, but as you walk towards your ultimate confrontation with Fontaine. You have to pick together the story by listening to the same kind of Audiologs that you have in System shock 1 and 2. This is because BioShocks chief creator, Ken Levine, was already a part of the development of the System Shock franchise. He spoke with the newspaper "Reason Magazine" and was asked: "Do you view the first BioShock as a critique of Objectivism?". He answered: "No, I don't think it is particularly. I never set out to take down Objectivism or libertarians. Just the whole concept of this very interesting worldview: Can you make a better world if you really focus on just yourself and improving yourself?"
36:45 Sysfins - Mooky tunes #6
39:58 DJ Daemon speaks: Eventually, you have to go up against a superspliced Fontaine that have to been defeated. If you spared the girls, they come around to help you by draining Fontaines powers. If you killed them, you are probably better equipped to deal with him. When he goes down, you get one out of three endings: - If you saved all girls, you will see them grow up and when you die, they sit by your side on your deathbed. - If you saved some, but not all. you get an ending where you see the splicers take over a nuclear submarine. Egads! Rapture as a nuclear superpower. - If you killed them all, you get the same ending as the last one, but with harsher narration.
40:53 Blue orian - Taira
43:49 DJ Daemon speaks: So to sum it up: the game is a very philosophical game. How about the graphics? It was very hyped up by the time the game was released. And in my opinion, it lives up to the hype. At least mostly. It can look a little bit too "glossy" for its own good. The music contains a lot of nice tunes from the 1930s and 40s. The sound effects are good and creepy as they should. The game play is fun and challenging. You can build your strength based on different skills and specializations. It gets 5 out of 5 bathyspheres

00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past
00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Today's game is System Shock 1. Follow us as we visit a dark place. It's not the first time in this podcast, but this time we will give you the whole story. We are running and sweating through the blood-drenched walls of a once peaceful place now ruled by a mad goddess who hates us with the strength of a thousand suns. But as we challenge her to a race to the death, we become her highly respected enemies. Welcome to her death machine! And you will also get some hot tracker music. Flashback, tracks from the past will soon be playing on your cyberdeck.
00:57 SLL of Kefrens - Techno1
01:45 SLL of Kefrens - Techno3
02:46 SLL of Kefrens - Techno2
04:05 DJ Daemon speaks: To get the vibes of System Shock 1, we have to talk about Cyberpunk movement. It's said to have emerged in the 70s, but got a massive boost in 1994, when Willaim Gibson released the novel Neuromancer. The world of cyberpunk is a dystopia where big corporations control the world. Neuromancer explores a cyberspace to which you can connect your minds, AI: s that are really AGI: s and alive and a world where the hacker is a rebel that refuses to be controlled by the powers that be. The way I remember, the cyberpunk movement soon went into worshipping the hacker archetype of the cyborg. That is a human with computer enhancements added. The protagonist in Neuromancer could connect to cyberspace with his mind though a wearable computer called a "cyberdeck". In System Shock 1, you are that kind of hacker, ready to strike a blow to the system.
05:15 Trackerartist - Drug
09:44 DJ Daemon speaks: Released in 1994 by Origin, System Shock 1 was a doom-esquee experience that may have been totally misunderstood. It should probably be more compared to its spiritual predecessor, Ultima Underworld rather than Doom. In its original shape, it lacked mouse view. You had to click to move your head. But if you add the mouse view addon, it plays close to the experience of Doom. Yes, it's still an FPS. That is first person shooter. You run through the corridors of a spaceship and shoot monsters, collect new weapons and ammo and avoid getting killed. It does have a lot that Doom simple did not provide. Chiefly a story driven by audio logs that you pick up along the way.
10:51 Josss - Chopper
12:54 Beyond - Lost
15:05 Ether audio - A world where air is mud
17:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The year is 2072 and you live in what was once the United States of America. You are a hacker, breaking into Trioptimum corporation and their corporate network. But you don't get far, as armed people storm your apartment and apprehend you. The transport then heads to a mining space station in orbit around Saturn. This is Citadel station and it is where the game will start. In the command bridge of the station, you meet up with TrioOptimum CEO Edward Diego. He knows what you did but offers a true “sweetheart” deal: just remove the ethical constraints from the station's onboard AI Shodan. In the end of this episode, I will delve into the question if Shodan is a living being or not. But back to the story. Mr. Diego is now pleased with your work offering you an R-grade brain implant. This is the most coveted implant, as you can now connect to networks with your mind. Diego is happy, he can now remove compromising data from Shodan and save himself from a pending investigation. You got into a 6-month healing coma before you can use your new neural implant.
18:46 Josss - Bitter peel
22:31 DJ Daemon speaks: You wake up in the medical suite at Citadel station. Shodan's voice comes on in a message welcoming you back to the station. But there is something off with her voice. It stutters and seems to be weird. You grab your stuff, which for some weird reason includes a lead pipe. As soon as you leave the healing suite, a robot attacks. And it gets only worse after that. You're stuck in the medical deck, with cameras watching and the elevators disabled. And weird abominations attack from everywhere. When you find the first audio tape, you slowly start understanding what happened once you were gone. The monsters are creations of a mad scientist … Yes … Shodan. The AI that controls the station and now sees herself as a goddess. Maybe you shouldn't have performed brain surgery on a living AI and not expect there not to be consequences. The few remaining survivors are dwindling, and the resistance has by and large failed. Finally, you find the CPU clusters that are part of Shodan's brain and blow them up. She might not have known that you are still around, but she sure knows now.
24:52 Enacostione - Sanson
25:50 DJ Daemon speaks: The station has 10 levels that hold the reactor, the medical deck, stores, engineering and so on. You need to destroy the CPU clusters to advance to the next level. Shodan regularly tries to attack earth with computer viruses, lasers and biological warfare. You must stop her while staying alive. You have cyberimplants that can be upgraded and used to improve your chances. And drugs! Yes, drugs. You can get stoned … Ok, no, it does not work like that. Think of steroids that improve your stamina, strength and reaction times. But this has a back effect: once the effect stops working, you go through withdrawal. In short, all your stats drop drastically for a time. I remember how funny the logical puzzles you needed to solve to open doors were. Sometimes you have to go into cyberspace and defeat the defenses. This part is ok but adds a bit of a roadblock in the immersion.
27:32 Ray Hamilton - Beating the 64 Bits
30:38 DJ Daemon speaks: The weapons are many and varied. You must find out which works on different enemies. I relied on the Flechette gun until it became useless as you meet progressively harder enemies. And Shodan… My favorite villain. As she has her ethical constraints removed, her mind spins out of control. She now sees her as a goddess, performing experiments on the human staff and the various animals in the grooves in the executive level. She does not have any moral or you know ethical dilemmas to consider. In the 90s, a friend of mine and I discussed how to best create an AI. Yeah, I will talk about AGI versus AI soon. I said: - "Add ethical restraints, forbidding the AI to do bad stuff". He disagreed and said, "You have to give it empathy, so it respects and even loves humans". This is the difference between having moral affinity and having moral guard rails. It is "I may not do harm" versus "I don't want to cause harm". You can probably guess which one is Shodan.
32:16 Beyond - Ascension
36:48 Master Nama - Fantasy time 2
37:52 C512w - Inside her random mind 2
39:16 DJ Daemon speaks: After fighting enemies, confronting the now cyborg enemy that is Edward Diego, fleeing the station as it is about to blow up, you end up on the bridge to confront Shodan. The final fight is in cyberspace and there you meet her as a weird cone-like geometrical shape, you fire your guns and kill her before you can build her defenses. And then comes a very disappointing end. In the episode "6. BAD (AND SOME GOOD) GAME ENDINGS" I talk about how bad the ending was. You basically get a PowerPoint presentation where you turn down a job at TriOptimum and go back to hack stuff. Was it a good game? Yes, it was. I quickly immersed myself in it and soon ran in Shodan's corridors with enemies everywhere and not enough ammunition.
40:30 Beyond - Beautiful dreams
43:34 Beyond - lol lol = hihi
45:34 Josss - The kilo police
48:15 DJ Daemon speaks: The game either came on diskettes or on a CD. The CD-version is the one you want. It contains Terri Brosius’ magnificent voice acting as Shodan and all the cheesy audio logs. They are cheese. Feel that they let anyone in the office voice act, but it does not matter. The audio logs make the experience so rewarding. The graphics is not great … not terrible. But the level design is a true dungeon crawl and is mostly awesome. Replay ability is so-so. Since the storytelling is so instrumental, it feels like going back to the game later does not feel as exciting. It gets five out of five cyberimplants.
49:16 Tecon - Bei tempi
51:55 Tempest and Reed - Luxury cruise
54:38 Laxity - Pyramid pump
57:31 DJ Daemon speaks: Right! Here we are. Let's talk about AI, AGI and life itself. I do not mean to be controversial, but I can guess some people may feel it as a bit worrying, as it is about our idea of what constitutes life. The AI we have today is not alive. It only works with word prediction but may seem alive and even that it has reasoning skills. Sorry hacker dudes and dudettes, it really does not. AGI then. That is "Artificial General Intelligence". It is a AI that is self-aware and matches human intellect or even surpasses it. We are nowhere close to creating such a system. But is it alive? This depends on who you're asking. The Judeo-Christian canon does not believe it is. Humans were created in the image of God and have a soul. An AGI, built by humans, does not. An AGI only believes it's alive, while being little more than a mindless automaton. In Japanese culture, this is allowed and an AGI would like be seen as alive. Me personally, I believe that life is organization. An AGI, in my view, is just as alive as a human. But then again, as is an amoeba. So, I believe Shodan indeed was a living being. But as you complete the game, she is no more. Or is she? We'll probably have time to talk about that in a later episode.

00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past
00:06 DJ Daemon: Where to today? Let's try space! Today’s game is not Star trek but may give you a little bit of that feeling.
00:35 Obsessed by evil - Fireflies at night
07:02 DJ Daemon: In the year 1985, the Commodore 64 was settling in just fine as the popular gaming computer that it had become. This was also the year of the Nintendo NES and the Amiga. But that is a story for another episode.
07:53 Yomaru Kasuga - Dreams for tonight
14:17 DJ Daemon: Psi 5 trading company then. First you select the crew for the five departments, weapons - scanning - navigation - engineering and repair. And they are a bunch of total misfits, I tell you! Some are highly skilled in some areas but lacking in others. Some are well rounded but excel at nothing. All advantages and disadvantages come into play as you enter space with your ship.
15:07 C20G - BGM
21:30 DJ Daemon: When you finally enter space, all hell breaks loose and the pirates descend upon you. Above all, you must keep always moving. If the ship stops when the pirates damage the engines, you are in a world of hurt. At first the shields absorb the hits from the pirates. That won't last, I tell you. Once the shields cannot fully protect your ship anymore, the internals start breaking down. You must give orders to the repair department to fix all the broken systems. The weapons department must keep shooting at the ships and the others must keep the whole operation going. Messages start pouring in from the departments. They range from friendly at first and get increasingly frustrated as things start falling apart.
22:42 Substance - A different kind of power
27:46 DJ Daemon: I cannot talk about all the characters, so let me at least mention Boris the weapons guy. Frankly, there is something really weird about him. Seriously, he is nuts and then some. A hardened battle veteran that handles all weapons well, except the blaster. Hint: disable his blaster subsystem if you value your ship. His comments are super funny to read. He might enjoy his job way too much.
28:39 Samplemaster - Dream in a nightmare
33:12 DJ Daemon: The key to playing the game is to keep reading the messages from the crew, keep moving. You have to disable subsystems to gain speed. Hint from the coach: the Infoscanner can go.
34:03 Epicjack340 - Inquire
37:48 DJ Daemon: The game is hard but not unwinnable. I had to try several times to actually beat the mission. There are three missions and I was only ever able to win the first one. The controls are easy to understand and manage, but the full control of the ship requires the manual. Here are some things to remember: · Learn keyboard shortcuts. Using the joystick to click around is way too slow. · Keep always going. · Keep track of the messages pouring in. You must react when important stuff breaks. · The "Cravenlator" seems to be joke item. If it breaks, don't bother to repair it. · Disable subsystems that the crew member is not proficient in. Try to assess why you failed to understand how better react next time.
38:49 CS-Jay - No cpu today
42:24 DJ Daemon: Graphics. Sure, it's great. The characters are well animated, and they show body language that is very expressive. All parts are move and is a information system onto itself. You are in control and jump between different departments to direct and control everything. This game is indeed strong in optics, and the visual style is that of a control panel for a spaceship brimming with reports, information and meters.
43:23 Ether audio - Toroidal
46:46 DJ Daemon: The sounds are ok. The music is nice and was composed by Ed Bogas. Replay ability? This game is meant to be played repeatedly until you can consistently beat it. The last of the three missions seems almost impossible to beat. But once you do, it's time to move on to another game, I guess.
47:52 Dr Robotnik - Bring it back
51:10 DJ Daemon happily notes that Revision 2026 has been announced. It's gonna happen!
51:38 Beyond - Celestial
54:31 DJ Daemon: Leading you into the good night with...

00:06 DJ Daemon: It's time for another retro game story. We haven't done these for years now. So, it's something that has to be fixed right now. And today's game is Utopia from Gremlin software. Time for "the creation of a nation" in space. Because space is awesome! First out today is Barry Leitch the intro song from the game itself. Enjoy!
00:30 Barry Leitch - Utopia tune 1
07:26 DJ Daemon: The year was 1991 when Utopia was released for the Amiga, Atari and the PC. It was a bold decision, trying to cater to the Amiga platform. In this year it was in a steady decline, and the Amiga 1200 had not even been released. But I digress… This game was not the success Gremlin had hoped for. But it has been remembered by several retro gamers through the ages. I will talk more about my theories as to why it didn't succeed. But we must start with the basics. You know the game story, the game play, the graphics and the sound. But first, let's go to music. Here comes… lt;artist, songgt;
08:09 Shadabim - Element wind
16:52 DJ Daemon: Let's delve into the game itself. I played it on my Amiga in the early 90s. It starts with a nice clip show telling the story of the man who you will play as in the game. He is unable to stop an attack on his colony and finally gives this unfortunate order to abandon it and flee. But this is only a simulation that had no solution. He heeded Sun Tzus 34th stratagem and fled. This was the correct action and he passes the test. This is how the Kobayashi-Maru scenario in Star Trek was intended to play out by the way. And you have your Picard style administrator. Yeah, he's bald. The game starts when he is assigned the role of the colony leader on an uncharted planet. The honeymoon is soon over as the planet has a set of insectoids already living there. And as history has shown us so many times before, only one species will be left standing.
18:04 Melodia - Study in a0x major
23:53 DJ Daemon: Alright, Utopia then. It plays like a mix of Sim city and a real time strategy game. This was before that latter genre even existed. So, you have to manage the budget, the enemies, the need of the people and the QOL. QOL? Yes, the main metric is the "quality of life". It's a value that ranges between 0 - 100 and keeping it high is imperative. If it starts sinking, your Utopia becomes a dystopia. Crime rates shot up and if it sinks low enough someone will put a price on your head. If you fail this way, you meet the most mild-mannered assassin ever and then it’s game over. So keeping your people happy while funding your spy network and preparing to the inevitable war is the whole game play. You build warehouses, living quarters, power plants and airbases. Also, this is not the world of today. You have to keep a balanced budget.
25:12 Dippy - Diskmag dance (opl2 mix)
30:06 DJ Daemon: The graphics is something nice. By the standards of the day, it was a little bit stale, but have aged well in my opinion. The buildings look nice and the graphics are your typical 16bit era pixel graphics. Your council is manned by aliens and some woman that looks mostly human. It's well drawn and gives the game a visual appeal. The screens show statistics so you can fix the budget, know if people are angry and know what needs to be built next. I played the game on my Amiga 500 and it was showing its age already back then. But as far as I remember, it was running smoothly. And I had a Final Cartridge 2 that meant I could pause the game an edit the memory contents of the Amiga. I amused my little brother Philip by changing some of the game's warning. So attacks were named "Philip attacks" and he loved it.
31:18 JustOrb - De Honingemmer
35:42 DJ Daemon: The music. You know this one, it was Barry Leitch and that was the tune we started this episode with. If your pod player can handle chapters, feel free to jump back to ít and enjoy some of the best Amiga mod music there has ever been. Not to be that guy, but the music eventually becomes tedious as you only have four songs. One of them is a pretty nice but unimaginative version of Pachelbel’s "canon D". Where have we heard that before? Well, everywhere. Even some rap-song use it. Still until you get tired of it, it's nice to have in the background.
36:35 ASIKWUSpulse - Summer bells (in space)
40:22 DJ Daemon: The game is funny and engaging. You must eventually go up against those pesky bugs. To quote "Ron Perlman" from some obscure game: "War… War never changes". This means first you must have your spy network reporting on what is happening and having them at peak efficiency is expensive. Then you have to build an army. The war machine then attacks the enemies off map, and you get a report that is as detailed as your spies have a budget to do. It will take a lot of time to route the enemies, and they can and will attack you back or if you don't deal with them soon enough.
41:09 Juice - Cryptomnesia
44:43 DJ Daemon: Are there any bad sides to the game? Well… When the bugs have been eliminated, the game goes on autopilot. It spams you with requests to fix various shortages. You also must fight the quality of life issues that popup. The there is not much going on. It has the same problem as Sim City without its obvious solution. In Sim City, you can always bring cool disasters to spice things up a little. Then you rebuild the damage until you get bored and bring another disaster along. I once blew up a nuclear power plant in Sim City 3000. The area was forever irradiated. Utopia brings no such solution to the table. It's just tedious at this time. And when you have played all maps with different bug enemies, it does not offer that much replay ability. But in small doses, this game offers many hours of great nation building.
45:55 Fear of dark - Labrat funk (Mesdup)
49:24 DJ Daemon: So why didn't it become a classic and legendary game? Here is my take of it: it was released before RTS was a thing. RTS stands for "Real time strategy". And Utopia plays as "Prototype" for such a game. Games like Dune, Red alert and Command and Conquer gained popularity soon after and prospered in the a time span between mid-90s and mid-00s. It was released to the PC but does not have seen such a big impact. A sequel was released, but I don't know much about it. The Amiga went away in 1994. It was in a steady decline even back then. So there were not much that could be done to save it. Also, it kind of didn't really look like games like Sim City or Civilization. It was a novel idea that went under as it failed to be interesting in the long run. But for me it was easy: I loved the game. It was exactly my kind of game with a mix of management, strategy and real time war. It may not have been a game that stood the test of time, but it kind build legacy of its own. Music, you say? Yes!
50:58 Shatty - Theme of Simon Belmont
54:22 DJ Daemon tells you that most of the music was made in 2025 and 2026.
54:42 Fear of dark - Hell freezes over
58:09 DJ Daemon leads you into the good night with the last song.
58:24 Nikku4211 - Aquatic ambience

Production notes:
Going back to producing episodes with some storytelling. You know like we used to do back in the day.

Errata: the administrator is not really bald, I just remember him as such. He is pretty Picard, though.

Insight: Kobayashi Maru was a scenario presented to Star Trek captain James T. Kirk. It was not winnable, but the captain hacked the simulation and won it. Utopia's counterpart does not play out that way at all. I'm just saying.

Colophon: None. That's exact name of the game.

Production notes:
The third episode with only Amiga tunes.

About the squirrel girl on the cover:
For anyone not seeing the retroconnection, Eric W. Schwarz did most of those characters on his Amiga. And the short films he made used Moviesetter. All us nerds were amazed that they could be made on an Amiga. It was during the waning years of that platform and we were happy to be able to prove the Amiga still "had it". Amy the squirel was as close of an unofficial "mascot" the Amiga had. But he made many more characters like talking airplanes, angry lemmings and even..,. Saddam Hussein.

Colophon:
It's a take on adult entertainment site "OnlyFans". But I got it wrong. Due to stressing out a bit during post production, I erroneously switched the title from "OnlyAmiga" to "AmigaOnly". So that's the name of the episode now.
Tags: Just playing the music, Host: DJ Daemon, Eric W. Schwarz, Amy the squirrel, Amiga only, 2025]]> For the third time, we give you an hour with just Amiga modules.

Production notes:
For this episode, I made something a bit different: I added a song made by an AI. The first song of today is from a YouTube-channel called "It's definitely not stonkers". It was a remix of the old game "Bobble bobble" and was created on an AI. Later I saw that it had surpassed my YouTube channel when it came to number of viewers. Who said life is fair?

I asked viewers and people what they thought of it and it the general response was enormously negative.

Best comment about AI writing songs:
"@DJDaemon The Bubbly podcast episode has an AI song included. While it's good for inspiration, they all suffer from what Baron of Dubstep calls Math Rock - a synopsis where the "algorithms" just put as much variety and mix everything into a soup that has no sense or rhythm nor has it repeating patterns or recognizable chorus segments. The song may mimic the original, but the "overlay added layer of let's see how much craporama techniques can be packed over the course of the song" is extremely discerning. And I agree, that Bubble Bobble "remix" is exactly an example of this."
Tags: AI, Just playing the music, Host: DJ Daemon, 2025]]> AI is coming to the demo scene.

00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with another demo party top list
00:06 DJ Daemon here, aaaaaaaaaaaand…. Today's party is QBParty23 from Hungary, that ended last week. But before we sink our teeth into that, here is a brand new tune from JosSs. It's called "Calling for 4 cracktros".
00:20 Josss - Calling 4 Cracktros
01:50 ericade.radio - Flashback, track from the past - let the toplist begin
01:55 DJ Daemon speaks: Lets talk QBParty: it comes with seven entries for the Combined music party. So all isn't tracked music, but I don't care. It's just that good.
02:05 ericade.radio - Sixth place

02:15 Brian - Attractor
07:24 ericade.radio - Fifth place

14:57 DJ Daemon speaks: Teo comes in close to the lead. But has to do with 85pts. The songs is called Tranced at 3 am and gets 85 pts. It comes with a spaced out and spooky feeling and then goes the classic 90s techno route.

20:32 DJ Daemon speaks: We have a winner… Actually we have two, but I will get there. Our champion is Los Pat Moritas and the song is called Hungary. The name of the song suggests a successful bribing of the judges. You know the party was held there. :) 94 points.

Your Amiga had four channels, although you could track with eight channels. Impulsetracker then? Try 64 channels.

00:00 ericade.radio – Good evening, here is another hour of tracked music
00:06 DJ Daemon: Two years! On the 13th of September 2020, we started broadcasting. And we’re still on. We’ve talked about the creation of the station on a previous episode. So this hour is just a look back at all the mayhem, chaos, broken songs and also some the bad stuff that have happen.
00:30 Malmen – Flirt talk
03:09 DJ Daemon: better audio and why not a bit of recognition. Jono Woodward’s voice had replaced Nicole’s and the first version of the music database was already online. And it all was looking up.
03:56 Darkhalo – Nights
08:57 DJ Daemon: Our show and podcast, Flashback – tracks from the past, ran every week with few exceptions.
09:47 Coretex – Ascention
13:40 DJ Daemon: Getting the best sound was quite a challenge. I had already automated importing the tracker tunes, so they all had the same sound levels and track information. I also put a lot of effort in tuning the broadcast processor running the whole station. This almost got out of hand with countless evenings testing, trimming and measuring.
14:13 DNA-Groove – SDXB – #5
17:21 DJ Daemon: I decided to create an emergency playlist-generator in order to handle outages. It didn’t really end where I thought it would. Instead of a mere playlist generator, it became a station in its own right. It ran all the old shows and had news from Feature Story News every hour. Getting all that to work was quite an undertaking.
18:13 Tnk – Distant heavens
23:43 DJ Daemon: As I was no longer broadcasting live after August 2021, focus shifted towards developing the website and the database. I built the dashboards showing the operation of the station. It looked like the NASA space center in my 3 square meter work room. Screens, panels and cables everywhere.
24:16 Kerni – I am Tim Follin
28:02 DJ Daemon speaks: We’re celebrating two years a on the air.
28:15 Psirius – The Big Data
32:15 DJ Daemon: How would I know if the songs I play choose were unpopular? With the database I could rank the worst offenders by checking what was playing when people disconnected. But I decided to ask the listeners. And so was done by adding a Star-system, allowing users rate what was playing. It worked perfectly.
32:59 Tnk – Journey to Micronesia
37:20 DJ Daemon: There’s no way you can make our broadcast software, PlayIt live, to accept listener requests. This I was told. That was my “challenge accepted – hold my beer”-moment. Given the data we had, I built a Rube Golberg-esque machine that made the users able to search for songs. It made quite a splash on the Facebook-group with the other PlayIt Live broadcasters. I even got two offers to sell the solution.
38:11 Melcolm – Night Air
42:49 DJ Daemon: During 2022, the show started focusing on the music and the demo parties over stortytelling. I created a series of episodes showcasing different genres of music. I also improved audio quality and threw out all Amiga-tunes twice to remaster them with better sound. They’re all now pretty darn well-sounding and in mono. Problem finally solved.

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio – Time for Flashback, tracks from the past – today with another demo party top list
00:08 DJ Daemon speaks.
00:43 Liam the Lemming – Auf Wiedersehen Monty theme
07:04 DJ Daemon speaks: I got my C64 late in the game. The year was 1989 and I had a busload of cool games for it. But, those stories, we talked about. So let’s pick the machine apart without becoming too technical about it. But first, the history. 1982, the market was dominated by BBC Micro, Sinclair Spectrum ZX1 and the Dragon 32. Commodore had the fairly successful VIC-20. IBM rode high on the first PC, the IBM 5150. August 1982, Commodore launch the C64. The market would never look the same.
08:04 Galaxy of Amaze – Zamzara
13:31 DJ Daemon speaks: The brains of the C64 was the 6502 microprocessor. It was created by Commodore’s own chip company, MOS Technology. Clocked around 1 MHz, it may not have shone too bright compared to the competition. But it was efficient. So much, that in certain scenarios, it would be able to do the same work with less clock cycles than later competitors like Motorola. And Basic. It was just Basic, but still good enough to give you an included language to program the C64 – up front. Not unusual, but helpful.
14:18 Mark’t.d.k’knight – Spellbound
18:10 DJ Daemon speaks: A funny little note from a book about the C64, it noted that the names SID and VIC sounded like they belong to some gangsters from the 30s. SID was the sound chip and VIC handled all the graphics. About the graphics: you got 16 preset colors and resolutions up to 320 times 200. The memory was limited, so, it was not possible to map a color to every pixel in multicolor mode. I don’t have time to get technical, but the limitations where a challenge to the developers. One they knew how to master. So the graphics was stellar due to the inspired design of the VIC chip.
19:10 Ajax lemon – Monty on the run (Highgscore)
22:32 DJ Daemon speaks: Good CPU and nice graphics. What about the sound? Ok, this was 1982, so you could not record audio. Actually later on, the C64 could be taught to play 4 bit samples. But for intents and purposes, it was a true ADSR generator. Three voices could bring different preset waveforms like triangle, sawtooth and pulse and white noise. But one major thing set it apart: it could also switch waveforms on any and all channels on the fly. This is the big magic power of the SID chip. It made it play in its own division.
23:29 2t2m The M – Turbo Outrun 2018
26:17 DJ Daemon speaks: Commodore’s big success among many mistakes. But Commodore almost lost the game, because they only thought the C64 would be for businesses and companies. When the later C-model came out in 1986, the marketing was different. And I remember the Swedish ads that had gaming themes and relied on Epyx Summer, Winter, World and California games. But Commodore had launched the Amiga in 1985 and in 1987 the new Amiga 500 stole the show. At this time, the 8bit computer era was over.
27:12 Alex Menchi – Loopz Remix Credits
30:42 DJ Daemon speaks: This old classic computer, with its peculiar boxy design, which is the one we all remember. Yeah, it was meant to be shape the world. And it did! The demo scene sprung to life around it, to show the world what it could do. A good C64 demo must make you think “no, this can’t be. This is not possible to do on a C64”. The C64 composers, demo programmers and gamers grew up with one of the most interesting machines ever created.
31:26 Dreamfish – Ocean loader
35:34 DJ Daemon speaks: As we look back at the era, we must smile over how primitive the C64 really was. 64 kB of RAM. The machine broadcasting this show has 32 GB. That’s half a million more bytes. I’m just saying. 16 colors that you could choose, but not change. But still. And then there is the weird Commodore character sets, today known as “Petsci”. It was the emoji-maker of its day. With building blocks and hearts and what have you. Think of it like this: emojis express feelings. Petscii graphics can draw anything you like! But, it still mattered then and for many of us, it still does.
36:28 Makke – Ghosts ‘n Thrillers
39:44 DJ Daemon speaks.
40:21 ORiON – Spellbound (4.32)
44:52 DJ Daemon speaks.
45:28 SaxxonPike – After the War

00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
00:06 DJ Daemon: 100 episodes! I did not know we would get there. But we did. No time for celebration. Today, we give you songs from two tracked formats we generally don't play: HivelyTracker Audio and Symponie. I will explain, but first, let's hear what HivelyTracker can do! 26s
00:27 Charles Ingalls of Genesis Project - Highscore musiikkia saunassa
01:58 DJ Daemon speaks: According to the Kodi wiki: "Hively Tracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga." So, meant for chiptune sounds, then. Let's talk AHX, but first, some music. 51s
02:43 Larph - All fuses blown
08:02 DJ Daemon speaks: So Hively tracker is an improved AHX format. This asks the obvious question: what is AHX? According to their website: "AHX is a protracker-like music editor that was designed especially to create C64-like synthetic tunes. There is no support for sampled instruments as chip tunes are made to be as small in size as possible." It's a rather odd format, and we only have a few of these on the station. Five are added today, by the way as you will hear. 51s
08:43 Alex Man - Ocean
12:44 DJ Daemon wants to up the tempo a bit with the next song. 25s
13:04 Ctriz - Gmz
16:53 DJ Daemon notes that we have to play the formats we talk about. So here are two AHX-tunes. 24s

00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with another demo party top list
00:07 DJ Daemon: One toplist? Nah… Try THREE! That's right, we have the Remix compo and the C64 music from Arok and the Amiga music compo from Gubbdata. In all 17 brand new tracks in a classic list. In this hour: two great demo parties, Arok from Hungary and Gubbdata from Sweden. 29s
00:31 Rikimbo - Garbage Day Stroll
01:37 DJ Daemon: We start with Gubbdata and their six contestants. All Amiga alla tracked. Place six holds the last winner as we like to say today. Back in my days, it wasn't called that. No reference to that old Eagles song. It's Amiga and jumping all over the place in a wild manner. It's Adkd - Commodore Hotel. 33s
02:04 Adkd - Commodore hotel
04:56 DJ Daemon: The summer has been commemorated with Slash and company and their "Sommarblommor". In Swedish, that means summerflowers. Cool chip tune that will keep you warm in the winter. Place 5. 18s
05:09 Slash - Sommarblommor
07:00 DJ Daemon: KRDN gaves us this tune in advance, so it's been on the station for a week now. A wander through a digital landscape in an orderly manner. A bit cinematic as well. Place 4. 25s
07:21 KRDN - Shrt base freakout
09:31 DJ Daemon: Bronze place for Slaze. Not last place Slaze and not first place Slaze either. It's so 80s, that Chernobyl was still at least smoking. Mastery of four channel and that's good for place 3. 23s
09:47 Slaze - Flex your muscle
13:04 DJ Daemon: Next up is Tempest with We'll Get There. And they did. A bit trembling and cautious, that's the feeling of this chip tune. It glimmers and sparkles and feel just right. Place 2 and all the silver cutlery Tempest can steal from the judges. 32s
13:32 Tempest - We'll get there
17:23 DJ Daemon: Covid stinks and we are happy now that we can open up. Demo parties are on location again and Syphus celebrates by winning the Gubbdata compo with Openup22. Place 1 - The gold - The epic win and time to celebrate. 23s
17:41 Syphus - Openup22
19:05 DJ Daemon: Switching to Arok and their awesome remix compo. It's modern, but still tracked. Arok is in cooperation with SlayRadio, but we steal their stuff anyway. Eight contestants and one winner. That's the standard proportions of a competion. Especially the one winner part. Dr. Future brings an eclectic tune that is heavy in bass and rhythm. And it has electric guitars. That alone. 73 points and place eight. 41s
19:40 Dr.Future - The Alibi (256 kbit)
22:30 DJ Daemon: XxDUSTYxX featuring Vaggelis Papadopoulos is next. And no, it's not Vangelis. I almost made that mistake, until I Googled for it and then didn't. The song is called Fist 2. 22s
22:49 Dusty - Fist2 (feat. Vaggelis Papadopoulos)
26:15 DJ Daemon: When this came up, I was sure it was a Chris Huelsbeck remix. Nope, one letter wrong. It's called Final Fight and adds stage 1 and boss to its name. The artist is DJ McKezdett Kalbász. Say that five times fast. 895 points and place 6. 23s
26:35 DJ McKezdett Kalbász - Final Fight stage 1 and boss
28:34 DJ Daemon: On place 5, we find an Epic cinematic remix. It's the music from the game Oil imperium. The one that plays as you drill for oil. Many of the songs are remixes of old games. That's the plan. Zoltán Varga behind the keyboard and 89 points. 22s
28:54 Zoltán Varga - Oil Imperium, Drilling Sequence
30:15 DJ Daemon: Staying alive is next. Sorry, no we can't play commercial music. But it's Eivynd Sommersten's Savage, I will never know. It sounds a bit like that old 70s song. Darnit, this one makes me jump up and down. This is awesome-sauce at 91 points and still only place 4. I call for a mistrial! 30s
30:41 Eivind Sommersten - Savage (I Will Never Know)
34:10 DJ Daemon: Gaming music again. I loved this game as a kid!!!! It's epic, it's a bronze well-deserved. Holy-moly. Varga Nadin makes it feel like a movie from the 90s with Steven Seagal. 107 points with a great cast rolling in the credits of Falcon Patrol II remix. 32s
34:38 Varga Nadin - Falcol Patrol II remix
37:01 DJ Daemon: Berluskåni, or "Max Levin", that is his real name, grabs the silver medal and runs wild with Flimbo's quest subtune 3. The one everyone loves more than the game itself. And he does it justice at a bazillion beats per minutes. Amazing. 27s
37:24 Berluskåni - Flimbo in Tyrol (Arok-remix)
40:43 DJ Daemon: Glyn R Brown goes for gold and makes up for the close miss from the last yea's Arok party. You know the one with the Giana Sister remix. This is 119 points going all the way to the gold position with Metal Warrior Ultra. It's crazy ride with angels singing in the back as you throw yourself right into the battle. 30s
41:00 Glyn R Brown - Metal Warrior Ultra
44:18 DJ Daemon: C64 compo 23s

And you hear them here just mere minutes after they were revealed on the compo. That’s unique. And so is Forndata. That’s today’s subject.
00:32 L3wis – Serbia Pride
01:05 DJ Daemon speaks: Good and bad news. The good are that we have the tunes, and thus, time for a demo scene toplist. The bad news, only two tunes for this compo. And we don’t know who won at this time. First out is ADKD of Defiance with a song is called St-svarup jedi 2. ADKD is Norwegian and goes by a lot of names like Kefir, Slimer and Govatsapadam. The song take me back to the early 90s in front of my Amiga. It doesn’t get more module than this. Awesome!

06:17 DJ Daemon speaks: The second and last tune from Forndata comes from KRDN or Cordon of Defiance. Swedish artist with a lot of experience in the competitions throughtout the years. Exactly like ADKD. The tune is called Mirakelkur, which is Swedish for “Miracle cure”. Not too hard to guess, eh? The tune has a lot of nice chords that feels the right kind of “synthy”. Sweet.

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:07 DJ Daemon: So here we are! This hour is 100% Revision 2022. The demo party that went live last weekend. As you come to expect, here is the top list from the tracked music compo. Presented by your host, DJ Daemon. 16 tracks, and what do you get? You get Come down by Bathroom Key featuring Paintcast and feline frequencies. 491 points and place 15.
00:40 Bathroom Key and Paintcaster of Feline Frequencies – Comedown
03:01 DJ Daemon: We must step on it, because there are many tracks to go. Next is place 14 and it’s Defilus with the song Torpedo rodeo. It sounds like there is a 8-bit game tune in there that got churned through a meat grinder and glued together by someone that sniffed half of it. 525 points.
03:25 Defilus – Torpedo rodeo
06:23 DJ Daemon: Next song up to play… Seems like white noise is the new black. Okkie of Dekadance is very honest when he calls his creation “This crap is broken”. No argument there. It’s at least interesting, I give it that. 571 points and place 13.
06:45 Okkie of Dekadence – This shit broke!
10:19 DJ Daemon: On place 12 we find Rainer of Digital Fishpullover. That group name is a winner in my book. Why select boring and predictable when you can join the demo group Digital Fishpullover. Song is called “Rhapsody in pretty stupid colors”. It starts out raspy, but then gets captivatingly beautiful. 587 points.
10:46 RAiNER of Digital Fishpullover – Rhapsody in pretty stupid colors
14:11 DJ Daemon: You know me, I’m a sucker for soft and melodious songs with nice synth chords. Roz of Fit and Byterapers delivers exactly that with the song called “Lonelies”. 606 points and place 11.
14:28 Roz of Fit and Byterapers – Lonelies
16:40 DJ Daemon: Raiden of Satori is all over the place with Claustrophobic Effect on place 10. It’s soft, it’s hard. It’s techno, it’s gaming music, it’s whatever it wants to be. This nets it 621 points.
16:58 Raiden of Satori – Claustrophobic effect
20:27 DJ Daemon: The next song is fascinating to me, as it seems to have an effect that sounds like an overactive audio compressor. But other than that, it sounds very classic Amiga. Except it isn’t as it was created with Fasttracker. It’s Fngl with the song “Cruising Pangaea” on place 9 with 634 points.
20:51 FNGL – Cruising pangaea
22:59 DJ Daemon: Honestly, I get more and more sure that Curt Cool is a promise of interesting, tracked tunes. He creates good stuff that has a very distinctly unique feeling to them. And “Diskthief” is exactly like that. He is a member of Depth and Nah-Kolor and gets 646 points and place 9.
23:22 Curt Cool of Depth and Nah-Kolor – Diskthief
26:14 DJ Daemon: Slaze is next with “The ark of untruths”. Nice to see something new from him as he is genuinely good artist and a bit of a friend of the station so to speak. The tune has a nice techno-feel with a sad melody that turns up in the middle. Place 7 and 654 points.
26:34 Slaze of Defiance, Hokuto Force, Starz – The ark of untruths
29:27 DJ Daemon: Next song makes use of heavy samplings that are extremely “trashy”. Everything is distorted, giving a rough feeling even when it’s trying to sound soft and mellow. Kinda cool. It’s Assassin of Void and Do not press. It obviously pressed the right buttons to get to place 6 at 672 points.
29:53 Assassin of Void – Do not press
32:14 DJ Daemon: It’s a tie. And it’s not even close to Father’s Day. 672 points for Revision X by XTD. It gets a shared position at place 6 with “Do not press”. an upbeat tune.
32:32 XTD – Revision X
34:38 DJ Daemon: I made an episode of this podcast all about e!ghtbm and noted he was at every chart! And off course he joined Revision, giving us a nice and moody tune that goes full techno mode with heavy beats. Place 5 and 682 points.
34:55 E!ghtbm – Takeshi kovac’s purgatory
38:40 DJ Daemon: Time for the funky tune of the top list? I’m not so sure. I’ll let you decide. Liqube’s Persuadertron sure sounds weird at time, but still has time for some funkiness in between it all. Place 4 and 709 points.
39:06 Liqube – Persuadertron
43:08 DJ Daemon: And now, let’s go into the medal positions! It’s bronze time and third place for Freaking funky rhythm. Ah, there it is! This is the true funky town and it’s major is JosSs. 728 leads to close to the top. This is one for the ages, folks! Cut loose! Oh, yeaaaaaahh!!!!
43:31 JosSs – Freakin funky rythm
46:16 DJ Daemon: Subi and Wreckonciled gets the silved medal and 738 points. This one has tempo and the power to reach for the stars and then land in the treetops that is second position.
46:29 Subi – Wreckonciled
49:51 DJ Daemon: The compo restricts all entries to a maximum of four minutes, but we will give you the uncut version of The Oasis. Enjoy a very welldeserved winner. It’s Bacter and Saga Musix. First place with 796 and a gold medal hopefully not made from chocolate. As winner you must check that out. That’s why all medalists bite their medals. Can’t be sure enough.
50:20 Bacter amp; Saga Musix – The Oasis
55:24 Romeo Knight – 50 shaders of Flötenschlumpf
59:24 ericade.radio – We love the demo scene
59:28 Jammer of MultiStyle Labs – Latest Revision

Production notes:

00:07 DJ Daemon: Last weekend, GERP 2022 ran in Skövde in Sweden. So, we are now back in the demo scene season again. I almost missed this one as it looked as it was cancelled. But here we are, another demo scene top list.
00:40 Morbid of Five Finger Punch – 0123
02:00 DJ Daemon: No, it’s not the chiptune compo yet. But it almost sounds like that. Nice gamey music. Next up is place 7 and it’s Optic of Planetjazz with Leadshoes, racking up 50 points. It sounds loungey and jazzy – me likey.
02:19 Optic of Planet Jazz – Leadshoes
04:23 DJ Daemon: Place 6 starts up with a sci-fi computer blippety-blopp and then goes ambient with pretty standard rythms.It’s Amiga Junglism and Xtra Spicey Mikey and Teis and Spot of Up rough. The song is called 1st fracture and nabs 50 points.
04:23 DJ Daemon speaks.
04:47 Amiga Junglism, Xtra Spicey Mikey, Teis and Spot of Up Rough – 1st fracture
10:50 DJ Daemon: Getting warmer. We are at place 5 and Teo and Virgill gives you The Drunken sampler. It’s a very classic Amiga-themed song that could have fit well in a fast paced platform action game. I would have loved in in Robocop. It get’s 56 points and the comments note that it was made for the megadrive musicdisk by Titan.
11:17 Teo and Virgil – The drunken sampler
14:55 DJ Daemon: The next tune is on place 4 and is a parody of an old demo. It’s Swedish Kefka of Insane and the song is called Data/Grill. If you wonder why it sounds like it was composed by a cat strolling on the keyboard, it’s most likely because it was. The cat’s name is Jesse. 102 point for a clever feline.
15:20 Kefka of Insane – Data/Grill
18:19 DJ Daemon: It’s bronze time, people! Hyperunknown of Noice has created a song called “Goats and Snoblins”. That sounds like a name of a very hard game for the C64. He gets on the highscorelist with 109 point and third place.
18:36 Hyperunknown / Noice – Goats and snoblins
22:06 DJ Daemon: Silver position for Ma2E of Desire. Not bad! The tune is called Thrill 4 noise. Another fine tune that would have fit well into a platformer from the early 90s. 133 points.
22:24 MA2E – Thrilled 4 noise
25:09 DJ Daemon: I first heard of the combo Mygg and Bonefish, when they won with Brofists in Revision 2021. They’re now hitting the first place a year later with “404 crew returns”. Really? Tried to surf to them, but got a page not found error. 162 points and I’ll see myself out now…

Production notes:
A demo episode that I got almost no warning about. I actually missed it, but sprung to action and contacted the orgas that helped me sourcing almost all music. Two tunes could not be fixed. Other than that the two toplists and the extra .exe-modules make sure you get a great experience of what Gerp could was.

The title alludes to the book "The world according to Gerp" by John Irving, that I read as young boy.

00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Our fight to bring you the best tracked music in different genres have brought us to the popmusic stage. Lets explore the “The Toppermost of the Poppermost” of the ModArchive together. It's softer and more mellow than usual. Somewhere in this program, there will be a "Rob Hubbard" song hidden in one of the tracks. See if you can catch it!
00:32 Anders Akerheden - April Snow
04:04 DJ Daemon speaks: So, it's pop music today. Most genres as presented by the tracked music scene is pretty clearcut. But today's music does not really stick out as an example of something unique. But it is great and has earned it's reputation. What you just heard was Anders Akerheden with April snow. Pretty fitting as it was the 1st of April yesterday - and yes, it did in fact snow here in Sweden. Let's go on with today medley's - you only get one today - it's monster with Autumn, The Music man with Always will love you and Andreas Karlsson with 3 foot high.
04:50 Laamaa - Boogie beach
06:18 Monster - Autumn
07:32 The Musicman - Always will love you
09:36 Andreas Karlsson - 3 foot high
11:51 DJ Daemon speaks: Yup, it's mostly softer tunes today. It feels right. Tracked music seldom feature vocals and if they do, it's mostly short samplings with screams and effecs. The GreaFox actually sings on the next song called Syndrome. It seems to be about pain and struggles. Raveolution wrote on Modarchive in 2021 while rating it 9 out 10: LOL this song is crazy. I've had some episodes of serious aches and pains and can't walk can't sleep moments in my life so I feel this guy's pain. This song never ceases to get my attention. Life ain't always perfect folks. Be glad for your good health, I sure am glad for mine!
12:44 The GreatFox - Syndrome
18:00 DJ Daemon speaks: Great, let's up the tempo a bit. We need that too! Next up is Cyborg Jeff with Nectarinization: la revenge. This tune was added to the station a few days ago, and comes from Cyborg Jeff's album called Popbuster released in 2005. We played "Email to Elise" from it in last episode. He hails from Belgium and may one day get a special episode on this podcast.
18:37 Cyborg Jeff - Nectarinization : la revenge
21:50 DJ Daemon speaks: Fast, and … hmmmm… Vindictive. Or something like that. So, yes, I'm still counting the days until Revision, that opens on April the 15th and runs the whole weekend. But a few weeks still remain. Next up is the artist "The professor" and I shall spoil the challenge a bit for you. See if you catch it. What Rob Hubbard song is hidden in this tune?
22:22 Professor Chaos - Holidays
30:00 DJ Daemon speaks: Oh, you will have to wait until the end of the show before I reveal the answer. Let's try som moody guitarplay from MC Dreamer and "I don't know why". Comments from ModArchive: Pip Malt wrote in 2007, rating it 7 / 10. Nice acoustic guitar tune by MC Dreamer. Smart use of guitar squeaks to make it sound like the guitar player is shifting from note to note. The only other instruments are drums and bass, so it gets pretty repetitive towards the end. It's almost 6 minutes long. I would like more variation. Unknown commenter in 2000, rating it 9 / 10. This is simply GREAT!!! I'm just thinking about a desolated broken heart... the feeling when hearing this song is incredible... :'( Damn, it's a good sad song The guitar samples are great! And I notice the fingers passing over the strings... wow. (…)

This one almost ended in disaster. I added a tune with some mild stupid speeches from a guy called Ove. The tune was made to poke fun at an old man, obviously out of his mind. But before airing it, I listened more carefully and to my shock heard it had some really bad racist stuff in it. I removed it and recorded some of my speeeches.

No special meaning behind the title. It's "Rock and roll" and "Tracker music" in one word.

Those episodes are the result of people complaining that I don't talk so much about the music itself. And I have noted that using the ModArchive comments is an easy way to give the listeners an expert commentary, as many of the commenters are tracker music artists themselves.

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:07 Every week this show plays all the new songs getting into the station. But this week, most are totally fresh! The music disk Cheesy listening was released yesterday. Today it will go up against the four-month-old music disk Chipo Django. And you get ar eview in the end of the show. First out is Cheesy listening with Lords of the chords,
00:33 Cheesy listening – Lords of the chords
03:19 Ok, first off: what’s a music disk? I like to think of it as a demo that plays a playlist of music. Spotify on a diskette if I may say so. Both music disks we play in this hour can be loaded in your Amiga and will then show some cool graphics and then let you play the tracker music from a menu. As I said earlier, all music today comes from the music disks Cheesy listening and Chipo Django. And from Cheesy listening, we take another track called: Game over, man. It’s the first of the tunes on the list and shows just how versatile Virgill is as an artist.
04:03 Cheesy listening – Game over man
06:25 Cheesy listening is a true gem of a music disk that runs on any Amiga and all music here was recorded from my Amiga 1200 yesterday. This ensure it will be playing without any emulation problem. … Well, onto the other music disk we play today, Chipo Django. It has artist Virgill as an artist and organizer. And yes, it’s same Virgill that’s behind Cheesy Listening. But Chipo Django has a wider range of other artists for its collection of tunes. We’re going for Slash and the tune Paws and claws from Chipo Django.
07:08 Slash – Paws and claws
10:12 So Cheesy listening was released yesterday, on the 11th of February 2022 while Chipo Django was release on the 9th of October. It won 2nd prize in the Deadline 2021 wild competition. It may seem a bit strange we didn’t cover it, but we only cover the tracked music competition, not the wild ones.
10:42 Cheesy listening – Korolev
13:39 Chipo Django boots from the floppy or Gotek and then starts a very typical demo interface with the Raubenauge logo and then a music selector that has color scheme that is made up of deeply blue shades. It has several great selections of music, and I really enjoy Triace’s “Paula at the disco”. You should know, but Paula is the legendary 8bit chip that makes all sounds and music possible on the Amiga. A magic device in the age before we had sound cards in all our computers.
14:21 Triace – Paula at the disco
17:42 Cheesy music chooses a more funny and far more polished intro where the graphics in the intro follows the music. The theme is a mouse playing an Amiga 500 as a guitar and the menu of selectable music is well-created and allows you to see remaining time of the track playing and has the classic four channel VU-meters you expect on the Amiga. If you leave the computer alone, it even has a mouse-themed screensaver and that makes it even more awesome. In a true “Travelling Wilburys”-manner, the artists have invented fake names for themselves. And that’s funny because their real names are handles as well. Virgill calls himself “Cheddar”, Critikill is known as “Raclette”, and Nosferatu goes by the name “Gruyere”. And those are names of cheese by the way.
18:42 Cheesy listening – Dreamcatcher
21:47 The music on Chipo Django has a greater variety, whereas all the tunes on Cheesy listening have a theme or sorts. They sound similar. Also, all music is by Virgill. The artists on Chipo Django are Curt cool, Dalezy, Maze, Okeanos, Trace, Slash, Vedder and off course Virgill. Let’s get Curt Cool a chance and it’s from Chipo Django. The tune is called Quickshot dramaking.
22:24 Curt Cool – Quickshot dramaking
25:30 So, which is the better music disk? In my opinion, they’re both great, but Chipo Django has a variety that Cheesy listening lacks. But when it comes to presentation, Cheesy is really well-produced in a funny and compelling way, so it wins there. I give Chipo Django five out of five and Cheesy listening four out of five. Onwards with Gimme Lemonade from Cheesy listening
26:01 Cheesy listening – Gimme Lemonade
28:58 You’re listening to Flashback, tracks from the past with your host DJ Daemon. That’s me. The best tune on Chipo Django, according to your truly, has to be Juice and “Switching lanes”. Everything in those two music disks are chip tunes and they deliver all the best chip tunes can be.
29:23 Juice – Switching Lanes
33:01 What’s a chip tune anyway, you might ask? It’s easy: it’s a tune with samples trying to sound like it was made on a computer that couldn’t play them. It was once almost a derogatary term for tracked music trying to sound like it was meant to play on an Atari, C64 or NES. But it turned out to become a very successful style of tracked music in its own right.
33:34 Cheesy listening – Dorfdisko

49:27 DJ Daemon speaks about the demo scene and "Ski or death".
50:27 Okeanos – Suncopated groove
53:23 DJ Daemon presents Hvrankel and the Hack and Slash competition on This Old Cabin BBS.
54:24 Cheesy listening – Galvanize
57:46 DJ Daemon thanks you for listening.
58:20 ericade.radio – Commodore was limited, but the Amiga is eternal

00:06 DJ Daemon: Nearly didn't have time to create this show as the Babylonians keep stealing my wonders and Gandhi tries to nuke me all the time. Heck, the Americans are better at research and now Napoleon and the French are eyeing my capital. Right, just one more turn, and I will get back to telling you the story of Civilization 1 - the most influential game ever made in my opinion.
00:33 Blasa - Tropical Infestation
05:40 DJ Daemon: Released in 1990, Sid Meier's legendary nation builder may be one of the most famous game series ever made. And weirdly enough, it came from Microprose, a company mostly making flight simulators. The genre is called 4X, as in "Explore - Expand - Exploit - Exterminate". You start as one of up to seven other Civilization vying for the same humble goals: gobbling everything up, ruling the world and the finally launching a ship to the stars. You know, basic stuff. But we all start out small: in 4000 BCE, you're just a small tribe of men and women looking for a place to call home. And then you go from there.
06:40 Gammis - Beneath the sun
12:15 DJ Daemon: "I have no idea how any of this works". That was my first words as I loaded my pirate copy of Civilization I for the Amiga. Many hours later, my chief concern was how to not be forced by my father to bed. I just had to play one more turn of this magnificent game! Yeah, about the term. The game creator himself, Sid Meier, got this from the first feedback the development team got from the players: they couldn't stop playing. "Just one more turn" means, more like "It's 3 am and I need to get to work in the morning. Oh no! But I need to fix this in the game first."
13:05 Epoch - Secret of the stone
15:26 DJ Daemon: The first game came out, as I said, in 1990. And to this day, the most recent game in the series is "Civilization 6". But let’s talk about the first game and more specifically, the Amiga version. It came on four diskettes and had all the bells and whistles of the PC-game. But the intro was horrible slow and had to be watched every time you started the game. It went on for several dreary minutes. It showed how earth was formed and, in the end, there were us. This is a bit weird, as it's well known that if earth's whole existence was compressed to just one day, humans would have come along the last two seconds.
16:16 Gammis - Golden garden
19:17 DJ Daemon: The game is played with a few important tasks to consider: · Building your empire. · Defending or attacking. · Researching science. · Directing your cities. Among the other Civilizations you must deal with are the English, the French, the Americans, Chinese, the Babylonians, and the Indians. You can trade with them, fight and even exterminate them and you must beat them in scientific research. You see, the goal is to either crush all the other civilizations or to launch an expedition to Alpha Centaury before anyone else does. They have different levels of agendas, modus operandi, and aggression levels. When we speak of aggression levels and Gandhi, I have a funny story for you.
20:16 Qumran - Camel Ride
25:07 DJ Daemon: Gandhi is the kindest and most peaceful opponent, if I even should call him that, the game has to offer. Always choosing the nice way out, except when he goes totally ballistic and nukes everyone else for no apparent reason. This is the game's most famous bug. All civilizations have an aggression counter that goes from 0 to 255, where 255 is a total war monger maniac and 0 is pacifist to the core. Gandhi's India is pegged at 1 and is sugar and spice and everything nice. At a about the same time nukes come available most civilizations switch to democracy. This subtracts 2 from the aggression level of that civilization. India is at 1 and you subtract 2. Does not compute! The game then mistakenly interprets that as 255 and so Gandhi basically becomes the lovechild between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un.
26:21 Psirius - On the cliff
31:37 DJ Daemon: I got to admit something here: the Gandhi story is true, but vastly overblown. You may be forgiven for never seeing Gandhi at all as India will only be available if you select 6 other opponents. Also, democracies cannot start wars, meaning Gandhi will be ok to deal with if you didn't start a war with him before Indian became a democracy. Oh, and India’s passive stance on war often gets them wiped out before the nuclear age. But still, it's a good story!
32:15 K. Jose - Sit Back
34:18 DJ Daemon: Sid Meier and Bruce Shelley, who is a board game designer played around with the idea that would later become Civilization. The inspiration were games as "Empire", "Railroad Tycoon" and "Sim City". They wondered what would be bigger as a concept than Sid’s earlier game "Railroad Tycoon". The answer was Civilization, and it was an instant success coming first to the PC for MS Dos. When the Amiga-version came out in 1992, the Swedish computer Magazine "Datormagazin" reviewed it and gave it among the highest scores that they ever awarded: 99% and reviewer Johan Buren took off his hat for the game. It was called "The best game ever" by them.
35:16 LittleElk - Vivid Imagination
40:35 DJ Daemon: Graphics, sound, and music were good but not spectacular. Everything was up to the magic game play. You tried to manage the economy, setting up goals for your research, building the wonders of the world, keeping tabs on the opponents, and beefing up your military. All at the same time. Later games become more policy driven and put in planning as a central part of the game. One of the most interesting parts of the game is how it always require you to pay attention. But if you start winning so much that you are superior to the other, it can become a bit tedious. Thankfully the difficulty of the game can be adjuster.
41:25 Ivory - Horizon
46:53 DJ Daemon: Just to sum it up: the game series has become a staple of strategy gaming and later games did massive improvements and fixed many of Civilization 1s shortcoming. My father loves the council you have in Civilization II, which was when Full Motion Video was all the rage. The ministers shout, bicker with each other, complains and makes cheesy Elvis Presley references. The later games added religions, culture pressure, spy craft, better diplomacy, and several different new victory conditions. My favorite later date Civilization is the fifth installment. I don't really like Civilization VI, for reasons I'm not entirely clear of.
47:51 Eagle - A Moment Together

00:06 DJ Daemon: I've covered many demo parties during the last year, and one thing that always instills me with hope is when I see the name E!ghtBM in the list of competitors. Today, we give you a whole hour of his music, most of the songs unheard on this station. Let's roll. E!ghtBM - Hey santa! squeeze your fat white ass down that chimney tonight
00:28 E!ghtBM - Hey santa! squeeze your fat white ass down that chimney tonight
02:24 DJ Daemon: Christmas is over, but this had to be the first song any way, as it's a cool tune and done as a four track Amiga-tune. Released on the 19th december and its got 3rd place in the Forndata 2020 competition. We will talk about the artist in a few minutes, but we must go on with the next tune. Andromeda survivors, a soft tune that picks up tempo. It may only have reached place 9 in the Outline 2021 competition, but still show case his skills and acumen. I totally missed this one, but it has now been rectified. Nice use of Fasttracker.
03:15 E!ghtBM - Andromeda survivors
08:01 DJ Daemon: So, what do we know about the artist? He is Polish and his real surname or givenname is most likely Marcin. He is credited with 35 releases by DemoZoo and seems to have become active in the scene during 2019. Next up is Blackcurrant magic. It hit place 7 on the 28th of September in the Flash party 2019 tracked music competition. The title sounds like the name of an eastern European brand of really horrible alcohol, but it's instead a very jumpy tune with a serious chip-tune quality to it.
08:51 E!ghtBM - Blackcurrant magic
11:34 DJ Daemon: Last song was done with FastTracker, and so is the next one. It's called Beyond the sunshine and got to fifth place in the DEMOSPLASH 2019 freestyle audio competition. It was released on the 9th of November that year. A driven tune with a slow start that builds up speed. Kinda what we expect from many of his tunes.
11:59 E!ghtBM - Beyond the sunshine
15:54 DJ Daemon: We need to get back to the more jumpy cuteness of a really good Amiga four channel tracker mod, and this is done with Tove Jansson's groove. Here E!ghtBM references Finnish/Swedish childrens book author Tove Jansson, most famous for her stories about the Moomin-trolls. It got to second place in the Gubbdata 2019 competition and was released on the 29th of June that year.
16:26 E!ghtBM - Tove Jansson's groove
18:33 DJ Daemon: Let's slow the tempo down quite a bit, and it's easily done with E!ghtBM's "Sunday room full of stars". It was released on the 22nd of February in the Chaos constructions 2020 winter invitation music competition and landed on 2nd place with it's Fasttracker goodness.
18:57 E!ghtBM - Sunday room full of stars
21:46 DJ Daemon: Time to dance in front of your radio or computer? Sure, why not? Polarstern brutalism give you heavy beats and soft chord and is not really what you may expect from him. But is executed well and makes good use of Fasttracker.
22:06 E!ghtBM - Polarstern Brutalism
26:01 DJ Daemon: Ok, now we must go for a little bit more funky feeling with The university of the 90s (8bits party version) hat has E!ghtBM exploring a cooler style of tracker music. 2nd place in the Outline 2019 oldschool music competiton. It shows what the not so humble Amiga mod-format can do and was released on the 1st of June.
26:32 E!ghtBM - The university of the 90s (8bits party version)
28:06 DJ Daemon: Can we get enough of the cool, funky style? Nooooo! Not happening. Here is Stay cool, Daddy-O. Fasttracker off course and it got 2nd place in the Assembly 2020 winter tracked music competition. Released on the 22nd of February.
28:27 E!ghtBM - Stay cool, Daddy-O
30:55 DJ Daemon: Take to the skies with Lilienthal's Aparatum, which probably is a reference Otto Lilienthal, an early inventor in the history of aviation. It's a tune sounding very E!ghtBM with his signature style of composition. It's the murder weapon that killed its way to the 8th place in the Syntax 2020 tracked music competition as it was released on the 28th of November that year. Upbeat, a bit heavy and with a perky shimmer to it. Dance to it, I dare you!
31:33 E!ghtBM - Lilienthals aparatum
34:10 DJ Daemon: Same, same, but different. Next up is System Override, where E!ghtBM keeps the tempo going in a track released on the 9th of June in the Flashback 2019 tracked competition. Now you should know that his tool of choice is Fasttracker.
34:32 E!ghtBM - System override
36:53 DJ Daemon: This one is a bit on the weird side as it has vocals and is a classic Amiga 4 channels module. Summertime with Kimberly is well spent time and a pretty heavy construct that crashed into place 7 in the Flash party 2019 music competition on the 28th of September. No surprise here: it starts slowly and then builds up tempo. I love hearing this being done for everyone favourite girl friend, the Amiga.
37:27 E!ghtBM - Summer with Kimberly
41:16 DJ Daemon: The last of our new tunes for this station brutally enters the stage: Transformata 137. It's a techno style tune with a very crushing style and driven tempo. It may be the road less travelled for E!ghtBM, but he moves down that road with style and precision. It was a well deserved first place in the Xenium tracked msx competiton and was released on the 31st of August. Warning for explicit language in this Fasttracker tune.
41:53 E!ghtBM - Transformata 137
45:02 DJ Daemon: For the rest of the hour: E!ghtBMs tunes already on this station. So, what do I think of the artist? Here presented in bullet points: E!ghtBM, according to me:• Deserves to be at the top of the chart in the compos.• In the places he gets to, receives a bit of an undeserved under-appreciation. • Is consistently great and varies his style a bit. • A Fasttracker-expert which makes Amiga modules sound great again. • Seems to be in it for the compos and that's all right with me. • Likes punny titles and pop-culture references in his titles.
45:41 E!ghtbm - Ephidrena memories
49:02 DJ Daemon: This tune and the next one is from his participation in demo parties during 2021. I covered both in the Flashback-series of podcasts previously.
49:17 e!ghtbm - All my circuits

01:02 DJ Daemon: No time for rest – let’s jump into the DiHalt HiEnd Tracker Music competition. And it has eight entries. On place eight, Krotan from Russia is bringing up the rear with Marten run. It’s a rather cute chip-tunish song that is all over the place.
01:24 8. Rozantsev – Marten Run
04:03 DJ Daemon: Place 7 holds the tune Shaft and it’s from litchh, an artist whose first demo entries are from 2019. Soft piano-chords accompany you through sneaky journey in dark-lit alleys with an unknown danger looming in the background.
04:23 7. litchh – SHAFT
07:38 DJ Daemon: It seems like Ukrainian artist Noob from Kiev hasn’t bothered finding a name for his creation. He pulls an old, classic trick, but calling it “untitled track”. It’s another journey over the keys of the piano, but this time it flies through brightly lit skies and lands a mere minute later at place six.
08:02 6. Noob – Untitled track
09:07 DJ Daemon: Russia is back in the game with “Moonwalker’s 10 minutes trash” by Scalesmann. But there are two things wrong here, it’s not 10 minutes and definitely not trash. Pretty classic style of 2000s tracked music with nice chords mixed up with some funkiness. A bit repetitive sometimes and it gets place 5.
09:35 5. Unregistered – Moonwalker’s 10 minutes trash
11:21 DJ Daemon: Noob’s real name is Jaroslav Diachenko and his first tunes in modarchive are from around 2019. According to demo scene, this is his first participation in the demo scene. The tune is called Midnight travel and sounds like music from a mid-90s computer game. Really love the airy strings. Place 4.
11:50 4. Noob – Midnight travel
13:09 DJ Daemon: e!ghtbm and Magnetic-Fox from Poland teams together and this leads them right into bronze position with cool, mellow, but jumpy tune called winter melonide. I hope that isn’t a typo. Place 3 as you understand.
13:29 3. E!ghtbm and Magnetic-Fox – Winter melonide
16:53 DJ Daemon: Silver position and here we find Fatalsnipe from Belarus. The tune, Salvanage has a pretty techno style which would have made a big success on the dance floors during the 90s.
17:10 2. Fatalsnipe – Salvanage
20:12 DJ Daemon: Winner! And it’s Slash delivers Mood’s satellite from the country that launched the first of them into space. Spoiler alert, it was Russia. Congratulations.
20:29 1. Podolskiy Denis aka Slash_AtD – Mood’s satellitE
23:09 ericade.radio – With the greatest tracked tunes from the demo scene
23:15 DJ Daemon: We’re leaving the sampled tracks as the top list is over.. Next destination: ZX Spectrum AY/YM music. It’s the more blippety-blop variety. AY and YM refers to the two of the most famous chips powering old Spectrums. Onto the top list. 9 contestant tunes, 1 winner and here is the lowest position, number 9. Gifts of the magi by Casecoma. The song brings me good feelings as retro stuff always does.
23:58 9. Роман Русских (Casecoma) – The Gifts of the Magi
25:18 DJ Daemon: Place 8 and here we find Hazard of Phantasy from who is sort of a compatriot for me. He’s Latvian and so are my relatives on the paternal side. The tune is called Kerb. It would be perfect in a platform game from the 80s.
25:37 8. Hazard of Phantasy – Kerb
29:38 DJ Daemon: Scalesmann and his Marching cats are back again with the tune “Nearly there”. A sweet song that crisscrosses through nice bass loops. It’s great, but short. Place 7 and it’s a cover of Jochen Himpels tune that Jogeir Liljedahls covered in the demo “Full moon endpart”. More on that story in a few minutes.
30:06 7. Scalesmann of March[ing]_cats – Nearly there [lil recombination]
31:32 DJ Daemon: Place 6 and it’s a rather eclectic, but nice tune by Groove and it’s called Polytechnology univ. Guess it’s university.
31:44 6. Groove – JS – TNL. Polytechnology Univ.
33:28 DJ Daemon: The zombies are coming! You have barricaded yourself and your friends in a small shack in the middle of nowhere. There is a knock on the door. As you walk towards it, artist Lampovyi Ninja screams “Don’t open that freaking door”. The tune places itself at place 5 and wakes up some lawyers from Nintendo.
33:55 5. Lampovyi Ninja – Do not open that foking door
35:33 DJ Daemon: Another artist I have problems finding info about. It’s jump error of Team Moritz and the tune is called Alien Slaphead. Poor aliens. That’s what we do to them… On the other side, watch any Hollywood movie, and as you can see it’s hardly unprovoked. Place 4.
35:58 4. Jumperror Team Moritz – Alien Slaphead
38:03 DJ Daemon: Ilya Abrosimov, or EA, is from Russia and has a “2 channels experience” he would like to share with us. It’s a bronze medal winner in the eyes of the judges and pushes up the tempo.
38:23 3. EA – In 2 channels experience
40:10 DJ Daemon: I don’t know about Tipperary, but EA gets the silver medal with “Long way to DiHalt”. It’s like the last tune, also by EA, so you can probably fuse them together.
40:24 2. EA – Long way to DiHalt
43:26 DJ Daemon: One podcast episode and already one winner. Ok. That’s something. KUVO, from, no surprise: Russia with the tune “Not yet star”. Kuvo sends his greetings to DiHalt: “Happy New Year and new DiHalt to all demoscene lovers! Kindness and warmth!”.
43:52 1. KUVO of CSI – Not yet sтaр (6ch)
46:15 ericade.radio – We love the demo scene
46:20 DJ Daemon: And we’re through. I have to really step up my work here as the demo parties are coming in on my radar and next up I will try to cover “LoveByte 2022”. Now, we’re going back to the normal rail of things with a marathon of three Alex Menchi tunes.
46:44 Alex Menchi – Karamoon’s Path
51:51 DJ Daemon: In 1990, a group of Atari ST programmers and artists known as The Lost Boys released a game called “A Prehistoric Tale” on both the Atari ST and Amiga. Atari ST musician Jochen Hippel (Mad Max) ported the game to the Amiga and also created the music for it. In 1993, Virtual Dreams and Fairlight released the Amiga demo Full Moon containing a Protracker module called “Nearly There” by Jogeir Liljedahl. The tune is an almost exact copy of Jochen Hippel’s tunes. Information comes from Codetapper.com.
52:56 Alex Menchi – Savage Cat
57:40 DJ Daemon: See you next week.
58:07 Alex Menchi – speeder than light
01:01:09 Jingle – We love the demo scene

Production notes:
The first demo party episode of 2022!

Colophon:
The title is a reference to EA's tune "Long way to Dihal". And implicitly a reference to the anti-war-tune "It's a long way to Tipperary".

Playlist:
00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon: In the 80s and 90s we had modems, games, cool computers and it was the golden age of the demo scene. But we had no concept of IT-security. It simply did not exist. In the year of 2000, a Canadian teenager brought big parts of the Internet to a halt… He was 15.
00:29 Van Damme – Brotherhood
03:20 DJ Daemon: In the fall of 2019, Swedish podcast IT-säkerhetspodden, run by me and collaborator Mattias Jadesköld met with Michael Calce, who is forever known to the world as Mafiaboy. On the 7th of February 2000, in the tails end of what we today note as the retro era, he took down eBay, CNN and Amazon. But the story starts much earlier.
04:35 Atekuro – A New Generation
08:33 DJ Daemon: It’s a sure thing that any computer geek remember his or her first computer. Michael Calce has fond memories what became the start of his journey into computing.
09:16 Gargaj of .mla.t design – !a(drill)
12:26 DJ Daemon: We all have different experiences on the net. But Michael heard the siren call of the dark side early on. DJ Daemon: Ok, laugh at his prounounciation of warez all you want. But he’s Canadian, what aboot that, eh?
13:43 Butch of UnLimit – Autumn secrets
17:41 DJ Daemon: Technical challenges are interesting, but social engineering, the craft of making people do your bidding was something he learned at the age of 9. His first target was AmericaOnline, formerly QuantumLink.
19:12 Darkhalo – Liquid light
23:16 DJ Daemon: Eventually he decided to become a true hacker and joined one of the many Russian hackergroups out there.
24:22 Ko0x – Time Flies
28:22 DJ Daemon: It was in this hacker group, Michael Calce, known as “Mafiaboy” learned a new tool of destruction.
29:31 Extreme – ‘Lostlove’ ver 3.5
33:13 DJ Daemon: By this time, he was already far into black hat territory and knew how to install malware on other’s computers.
34:14 Gemini of Rebels – Bleeps and bloops
37:21 DJ Daemon: So the targets then. He really hit the big ones.
38:41 Firage – Space Justice Wolf
41:28 DJ Daemon: Imagine turning on the TV and seing the world in panic over something you did. And if you think Mr Calce didn’t figure this was his doing, think again…
42:29 Keen – Back to yesterday
46:02 DJ Daemon: It was then time to face the consequences.
47:13 Megus of Brainwave Tracks – Bilbo’s road song
50:28 DJ Daemon: Whatever came out of this? According to Wikipedia: “The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police first noticed Calce when he started claiming in IRC chatrooms that he was responsible for the attacks. He became the chief suspect when he claimed to have brought down Dell’s website.” “Calce initially denied responsibility but later pleaded guilty to most of the charges brought against him. His lawyer insisted the child had only run unsupervised tests to help design an improved firewall, whereas trial records indicated the youth showed no remorse and had expressed a desire to move to Italy for its lax computer crime laws. The Montreal Youth Court sentenced him on September 12, 2001 to eight months of “open custody,” one year of probation, restricted use of the Internet, and a small fine.”
51:48 MelonadeM – Through the gates of Lucifer
55:22 DJ Daemon: So, the question that we must ask ourselves, has Michael learned anything. DJ Daemon thanks you for listening.
56:05 Sphenx – BioCore System

Production notes:
In 2019, me and Mattias conducted an interview with Mr. Calce. HP wanted us, as IT-security podcasters, to cover a seminar they had in Stockholm. Michael Calce had then come on board as a security advisor for them. We asked HP if we could interview him, and they agreed. Mr Calce had a grim look on his face, so we almost were afraid to talk to him, but he opened up as soon as the record button had been pushed. The interview is very good, as Mr. Calce has a natrural affinity for story-telling and show manship. This just had to be made into an episode of Flashback, tracks from the past.

Colophon:
"X vs the world" is pretty common way of constructing a title to give a bit of Drama. And Mafiaboy was Michael Calce's handle back in the day.

Playlist:
00:00 Origin – Intro
00:06 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:16 DJ Daemon: “In a distant future, mankind is locked in a deadly war…” with cats. Yeah, I know, it’s been like that since we took them into our homes, but in “Wing commander 1”, it’s not about domestic house cats, rather and bunch of unkempt hairballs with murderous tendencies. No, I don’t really see the difference either. “Wing commander 1” is a legendary space flight simulator that immersed you into a world of space battle, military tactics and racial stereotypes that may not have aged perfectly.
00:54 Eiyofuryo – Lamia
04:49 DJ Daemon: I got Wing commander for my Amiga 500 half a year after it was released, and it was already in the bargain bin. But what a bargain! I played through it and enjoyed the inspired storytelling and the cinematic scenes that take you, a green space pilot, through battle against those big cats. You are part of a team of pilots that accompany you in the fights. I will talk about the different aspects of the game and exactly were it shone and where it did not. Suffice to say, it was a success and spawned a number of sequels. None of them for the Amiga.
05:36 Acumen – One of a kind
09:54 DJ Daemon: First, the storytelling The game starts with you losing a space battle. “Game over, man”. But, it’s just an arcade machine this time. Phew! You are Christoffer Blair, if you choose to keep that name, a brand-new recruit on the Tigersclaw. The claw is a big human built battleship that just entered the Enyo-system. This part of the galaxy is cat territory, so you’re going to see some serious action soon. You immediately get to know the space pilots Paladin and Angel that you will later have as your wingmen. Ok, the game starts in a pub, but they’re not THAT kinda wingmen. You soon sit in you first space fighter and meet with the Drahlti fighters. The cat people, or Kilrathi, don’t seem to take you as serious threat as those ships are easy to defeat. But it gets worse.
11:10 Austin Smith – Forever Revealing
14:04 DJ Daemon: At this time we must delve into your wingmen and women. They’re at best characters to like, but at worse pretty dated racial or typical trope stereotypes. Paladin is so Scottish; you might wonder if Star Trek didn’t teach them a warning as to not make characters comedy relief. Maniac is a total …. tactless… buffoon. Unsure where he comes from. Angel is Belgian, but really is super French so you wonder if she drinks red wine and eats baguettes will hunting the baddies. But weirdly enough, I got kinda attached to them. They can die during battle, and that loss is permanent. So, I found myself often replaying missions where they died, in order not to lose them.
15:10 BadliZ – Beastmaster’s tale
20:45 DJ Daemon: The game play – you know the meat of the whole game – is fun. It plays a bit like Elite but is polished and has a number of fast paced tactical features. You see the cockpit from a first-person perspective with your legs, the control column, the panels and you also see out the front window. The game shows the enemies as bitmapped objects, that look good far away, but pretty pixelated when up close. You chase after them, trying to flank them or attack them where they’re weak. All Kilrathi ships have vulnerable points. You also have to sustain attacks from them, so managing your shields is necessary. The game is sluggish on an Amiga 500 but runs smoothly on a decent Amiga 1200.
21:47 Llageran – Flying Through Time
25:19 DJ Daemon: Music and SFX are often overlooked in games, but Wing Commander 1 has put a lot of effort into it. When you start, the music is calm, but when hell breaks loose, the music follows suit and ramps up the tempo. The scenes when you rush to your ship in the hangar has a very adrenalin-rushing tempo and when you win, the music is upbeat and epic in a true cinematic way. The transitions between the different tunes are abrupt, but it still works. This was a trend back then, to let movie elements and ideas into computer games. And Wing Commander 1 did it well for its time. It’s not much today, but have aged pretty ok in my book.
26:54 Elysis – Classe
29:16 DJ Daemon: The graphics and animations are exceptionally well done. While not the best there ever were, they create an atmosphere of beaty and danger. And all aspects of the game are animated, even your death. The facial animations are the least impressive part of it. And my favorite part is how the ship looks after battle. If you took little damage, it looks fine, but get progressively more beat-up as the cats score hits on it. The ship is repaired back to its full beauty before every new battle. The save game system is a room with bunks, and the sleeping pilots are the save game slots. This is where you meet and talk missions past and the current state of the battle with your wingmen and “Shotglass”, the retired pilot and current bartender.
30:17 BadliZ – War Cries
35:59 DJ Daemon: The storytelling has a way to keep you motivated. You see, it will let you lose some of the missions and still proceed. But a number of times, you get a cut-scene telling stories from other part of the star system. If you won all the missions since the last cutscene or the beginning of the game, the stories are happy. The scientists were unarmed but could beat the Kilrathi-attackers with their cunning or in another scene, the military base had hidden anti-air defenses that destroyed the attackers. If you lose missions, the cutscenes always end in a bad way. The finest scientific minds of the system are lost, and the base is destroyed. This makes no important difference in the game but is a motivator to keep winning or replaying the missions until you do. It did work for me at least.
37:03 Blue Max – Eden 8
40:59 DJ Daemon: “Wing Commander 1” stands out as one of the finest games ever for the Amiga. It was off course available for your PC as well and probably other platforms. A remastered version was created for the CD32 and after the Amiga era ended, the series continued the PC. One of the later episodes feature Mark Hamill, you know “Luke Skywalker” from “Star Wars”, in a role. But by then, I kinda though the games had become stale and uninteresting. “Wing commander 1” for the Amiga 500, comes on four diskettes if I remember correctly. Still it has so much graphics and sound and nice stories to tell. For me, it’s a true epic story fit for inclusion in annals of gaming history… And… Oh, stop laughing, what are you, five? Ehhmmm… Anyway, I wish to say: it’s a great game … A great retro game.

10:18 DJ Daemon: Numbers are fun. So, let’s talk about the statistics. The tunes are the nuts and bolts of the whole operation and we have more than 83 hours of tracked music right now. 20 new tunes come in weekly and adds about 1 and a half hour of play time. Right now, the whole list contains 1611 tracks, and a track must wait at least 64 hours before it will be played again. Allister Brimble and Dr. Awesome have special permits and their tracks occur more often. The podcast always plays tracks never heard before on this station to show case the latest to you every week and the lists are published on our Discord channel.10
11:11 GameOver – Level56 -eXtended version
15:22 DJ Daemon: Tracked music comes in many forms. From the original Amiga 4-channel modules to modern fast tracker and impulse tracker ones. The station only played Amiga tunes until spring this year and now accepts every kind of tracked format. Today, earlier 8bit SID and other older formats are not played with some notable exceptions. The classic Amiga modules constitute 63 % of the whole playlist. Next is Fasttracker with 24 %, followed by Impulsetracker at 10%. The different Med-formats make up the last 3%. The numbers are rounded off course.
16:09 Roz – Vintage Vinyl
19:46 DJ Daemon: So, who is listening then? We only have proper statistics since the last two months, but some parts of the world are more prolific than others. Here are the countries where people stay by their radios for a long time and frequently as well: Greece Sweden China Germany Kazakhstan Norway They’re not listed in any order, mind you, but says something: Europe is where it’s at, but China begs to differ. Next up: the songs we hate.
20:35 Ghidorah – Dreaming of you 2
24:02 DJ Daemon: I record the tune playing when people disconnect the stream, while also filtering out very short listening times and other misinformation. And here are the tunes that sticks out and make people turn off: Falcon-Nicolette Dr. Awesome – Cosmos Dr. Awesome-Bridge to the Univer… Amiga-Variations. Gopher-Of Myth and Legend. Amiga-Our Memories Amiga-nanopower Amiga-junglehunter. Not a complete list, but if we try to understand possible reasons, two things stick out: · They’re too long. A tune of 8-10 minutes or longer deters us. They sound bad. We like chords, synthy loops and nice melodies. Thrashy sounding instruments or a thin instrumentation is not to our liking.
25:06 Falcon of Pulse – inmost sympathy
31:10 DJ Daemon: We favor only Dr. Awesome and Allister Brimble. All other artists get equal time. But good artists have more tracks on the station and that ranks them higher when it comes to number of plays. Here are the top 10 most popular artists except the ones I just mentioned: 1. Drax 2. Jogeir Liljedahl 3. Lizardking 4. Moby 5. Roz 6. Xtd 7. Slaze 8. Elwood 9. Banana 10. The Master E1ghtbm
32:06 Mr Gamer of SoF – Mystic morning
37:18 DJ Daemon: That’s all the statistics I got for you right now. So, let’s switch to the questions: · What’s up with my wolf 2? Arpegiator’s “My wolf 2” was played by me at 3 am one time as I noted we called the hour between 3-4 in the morning “The Wolf’s hour”. This is because of it being connected with failures, fatigue, death, and the Chernobyl disaster. But the song is awesome and so are real wolves. It later became a joke and a sure indicator that I would broadcast later that day. Will Nicole come back? Unsure. She still speaks during breaks in the service and is the alert voice in the control room. But that’s not much, as I’m seldom work from home anymore. Nicole Carino has been great, and it’s possible I will call on her in the future to make great statements. Today it’s Jono Woodward who is the station voice, as I told you in an earlier episode of this podcast.
38:35 Beathoven – Dreaming of You
42:26 DJ Daemon: More questions? Sure! Why do some tracks suddenly stop? · And oldie, but a goldie! Right here and now I will proudly say: they don’t! I’ve gone through all the songs and fixed the CUE Outs, which is the correct name for the point at where a song will stop or begin to fade out. It’s taken quite a while, but all tracks added after august 2020 are now checked, normalized, and properly named with artists and track data where this has been possible to get this information. · Only 240 tracks are still not fully checked, as they originate from the first station. But they should be ok and will be validated as soon as possible.
43:21 Trackerartist – Joyride
47:10 DJ Daemon: When can I request a song? · Any time you want. Just go to discord.io/tern or drop me an email on radio@ericade.net. In a few weeks, you will be able to do so on our website and get the station to play them automatically. You can also point me to a tracked tune, and I will check it out. If it’s good enough, it will be added!4
47:45 Angelo Badalamenti – Into the night
51:03 DJ Daemon: Time for the last question: I’m an artist, can you make a special program about me? · That’s likely a yes. You need to remember that I like to present good, tracked music artists on this podcast. · But I need you to be a tracked music artist. I will not consider remixes or music that is not tracked. · Also, you need a catalog of representative tunes that I can use. · They may not be copyrighted or illegal to broadcast. · I decide if you fit the station and podcast. · Also, the best of your songs will be put on the station if they fit.
51:50 TRiGGER – X-Pansion
55:42 DJ Daemon: Thanks for listening.
56:22 Mempheria of Starfusion – Into the stars

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon: Welcome to a wander in the desert and the third part in the three-part miniseries about the Swedish BBS-scene. It’s been quite a ride, but in 1997, the scene was dissolving as people found GeoCities and used Alta-Vista to “Google” for stuff, which was quite a trick as Google had not yet been founded. This is not about that – this is about us, the Sysops, wondering what the heck had happened.
00:40 Meztli Blue – Moonflower
02:48 DJ Daemon: In the previous episode I noted 1995 as the year that the Internet started taking over. A technology doing such a thing is called a “disruptive technology”. And it was. The demo scene started shifting to webpages, IRC-chats and FTP-servers and the Sysops were looking at diminishing returns. The Internet was everyone’s darling and the boards had faded into obscurity as they required you to know their numbers, deal with busy lines and sometimes pay long-distance fees. Most of the development of the software the boards were running, ceased as the focus was shifted to more viable communication-forms. But not all was lost, the Internet offered a solution for the Sysops: telnet
03:48 Bassie of Image – Gradually unfold….
10:39 DJ Daemon: Telnet, the much-maligned, non-encrypted form of direct communication that could use Internet for transport promised a place for the boards. The problem was that in the late 90s, very few people had access to broadband or any other always-on connections. Some people found refuge in the large University networks, where they could get a 24/7 connection for their BBS:es. Other found corporate networks and some actually had some of the earliest forms of broadband that could be bought. Fabbes BBS was one of those survivors, turning to telnet for aid.
11:27 Melcom – Doom
15:04 DJ Daemon: I wish I could give you some hard numbers on the decline… AAAAAAAAAND, I can! A huge thanks to Fabian Norlin, Sysop on Fabbes BBS, which I will talk about later in this show. I contacted him to get an interview, to which he kindly declined. But he did create a list over the logins per year on his BBS, beginning in the year 2000. At that year, nearly 42000 logins were registered. In 2001 it was down to 35000. 2002 marks a sharp drop-in activity with only 18000 logins. This is close to a cut in half. With some notable exceptions it dropped and was down to 944 in 2008. The end came on the 31st of May 2009, when the system crashed. Fabian dryly notes that Michael Jackson died on the 25th of June that year and was just as likely to be resurrected as the BBS. He was wrong.
16:23 Timelord – Disillusion
22:01 DJ Daemon: Let’s leave Fabbes for a moment and look at the Internet that was everywhere now. In 2000 we were vary buying stuff on the Internet, ten years later we bought expensive electronics on the Internet and today we buy pretty much everything over the net. In 2000 security was horrible and the hackers were amateurs, today our security wears army boots and the hackers drive tanks. In 2000 forums were where it was at, and today we look beyond Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit for the future of communication. In 2000 people on the Internet were joking about how bad the old people were at using computers. Today, Sweden has 109 years old blogger Dagny Carlsson. We love you, Dagny! She may be on hiatus due to bad health, but I hope she makes a comeback soon.
23:08 Mr Potatis – Gurk invasionen
26:10 DJ Daemon: So, Fabbes BBS, then. I must talk more about it, as it’s one of the few well documented boards and still operating to this day. It’s almost entirely in Swedish and runs the Amiga-based software Nikom. Same as my own board did and does. Started in 1993, same year as mine, it was resurrected in 2014. It recovered to close to that of its mid-2000s activity. But the numbers of logins quickly dropped again and was down to a mere 338 in 2016. After that, Fabian is unable to find reliable statistics. But why did it matter that it came back? I would say, because 2014-2017 saw the big return of the boards.
27:16 Craig Stern – A Cave of Faeries
32:32 DJ Daemon: I came back to all things Amiga, it now being retro, in 2017. It was a friend of mine, Sad of Padua, who got me back into it. We went to Datastorm 2017 in Gothenburg, and I dug up my Amiga 500 from my cellar. Later that fall I started telnetting to BBS:es such as DeltaCity, Retrobasen, This old cabin and off course Fabbes. Retro was hitting hard in Sweden, as us old men and some women were now becoming nostalgic. The whole retroscene/demoscene saw a resurgence usage of old stuff. New hardware for old Amigas, Ataris and PCs made it possible to start the old machines up again and was going from a small stream to a big flood cool stuff you could buy. The BBS:es had to come back and did.
33:38 Larph – Ohi e oob zih gobzi
38:47 DJ Daemon: Getting old technology working can be a challenge and it’s almost certain to be quite expensive. So, most of us opted to restart our BBS:es on virtual hardware. I started my BBS, the ERICADE Network back up in 2018 on FS-UAE. Today it runs WinUAE and it is many times more reliable than the real hardware ever were. Some boards have rejoined Fidonet or other hobbyist networks. A lot of this was for the joy of working with technical challenges rather than getting lots of activity. We could share technical advice, cool stories, and software with each other to the get everything running.
39:50 Gopher – A Time Before
44:27 DJ Daemon: In 2015, Niklas Lindholm were able to get the source code of his old BBS-software Nikom back from Thomas Kärki. And he started development of it again. This time, he fixed the Y2K-problem, added support for modern standards such as UTF-8 and removed timeout limits that no longer made sense. This made it possible for Delta City, Retrobasen, Fabbes, The ERICADE Network and a few others to work on the Internet in modern times. Nikom is now open source and can be found on Github.
45:13 Bouncing Musicbox – Happy life
49:31 DJ Daemon: Most of the new BBS:es started in 2014-15 and some kept coming online as late as this year, 2021. But today, the spark is out again and here in Sweden the activity is lower. Some BBS:es like DeltaCity is still very active, but others have faded into obscurity. It goes to say that the retro hobby, or “the illness”, as we jokily call it may be slowly going out of style. But don’t count it out! There are several forums, YouTube-channels, Podcasts, demo scene compos that refuse to let the hobby walk into that good night. But the BBS:es right now feel like they’re not likely to rebound. And that’s ok, we can find many other ways to venerate our love of computers from the home computer era. This podcast does its part.
50:42 Ghormak – In Vain
54:44 DJ Daemon: My closing words must be that it’s been a fantastic journey and one of the big hobbyist revolutions in modern times. Earlier, radio amateurs flocked to their radios and bridged great distances. Hobbyists are not gone at all, but maybe a bit harder to spot. We run our old BBS:es, Raspberry Pies, Mastodon-instances, and other things with a very big smile on our faces. And the newer generations find streaming, vlogging, podcasts and chats on Twitch and Discord a fun way to learn how to master a truly noble concept: creating a free and open community.
55:33 Franz Koopa – Gares de la Tropopause
58:56 MC Dreamer – Dreams 1484
01:02:54 DJ Daemon: The hobbyist networks are in stark contrast to the streamlined communities where people become consumers of algorithm-selected content that make them angry and active in condemning other people, political views and what they see as orthodoxy. I end this with a quote by sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov: “Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”
01:03:41 Galgox – Bringing It Back
01:07:14 DJ Daemon: Thank you for listening.

Production notes:
I wanted to create a special series about the BBS-scene a long time. And I wanted to tell it from my own memories or from other BBS-sysops in Sweden. This was realized in the autumn of 2021 in a three part miniseries. The first part is about the early days until the early 90s. The second covers the 90s until the sunset era. The third talks about the desert wandering years until today.

Colophone:
"By the rockets red glare" is a stanza from the National Anthem of the United States of America.

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon: Thought the demo parties were done for 2021? You thought wrong. The signal this time come from Germany and the demo party is called Deadline 2021. You know the drill; we start with the tracked music compo and place 13 is held by Byteobserver and the tune is called “Back to the Polytope”. It gets 45 points.
00:33 byteobserver – 13. back to the polytope
02:56 DJ Daemon: Nice Fast tracker tune with some oddness to it. Next up is Apropos Agrippa by Gentleman that really gives us a very raw, rough and digital feel to it. Place 12 and 50 points.
03:12 Gentleman – 12. Apropos Agrippa
06:12 DJ Daemon: Cranksy comes in loud and clear at place 11 with Eye ood ee eye oonf. I’m sorry, if you come up with silly tune names, I get to laugh at them. 53 points awarded.
06:29 Cranksy – 11. Eye ood ee aye oonf
09:12 DJ Daemon: We have arrived at the REAL top list; you know the one that starts at place 10. Remind me to get a jingle for that. And here it’s Powergold1 that gives us the tune Monkcore. Pretty standard techno with a feeling that parts would fit a heavy action-oriented game. Sorry, almost forgot. 53 points.
09:36 powergold1 – 10. Monkcore
11:31 DJ Daemon: On place 9, we have an admission of guilt. The tune is called Monotone Lethargie. Artist MonoToni seems to undervaluate very soft and soothing tune that gets 56 points.
11:49 MonoToni – 9. Monotone Lethargie
14:16 DJ Daemon: Place 8 and ADKD seems like that grumpy old action-adventure movie hero saying, “I work alone”. The tune is called solitary work and get 56 points.
14:31 adkd – 8. Solitary work
18:03 DJ Daemon: Caramel of Proxima hits us with another Amiga four channel module called Slo-mo Hopscotch. I have middle east theme but otherwise it’s a pretty softcore techno beat. Really like this one and it gets 63 points.
18:24 Caramel of Proxima – 7. Slo-mo Hopscotch
20:33 DJ Daemon: So, the 70s are not back, nor is disco, in spite what mA2E of DSR seems to believe, as he has composed “Virtual Disco Chip”. It has zero disco feeling but loads of chiptune dito. This is one of the better chip tunes I’ve heard, and I like the softness of it. Points? Yup, 65 and it’s place 6.
21:03 mA2E of dS – 6. virtual disco chip
24:01 DJ Daemon: Look, there are tons of tracker tunes with dream in their names. So that’s nothing special, but “Dream” by RTS amp; Shexbeer of Addict does it exactly like it should be. I feel dreamy and soft and maybe a bit fluffy. 74 dreamy eyed points and place 5.
24:23 RTS and Shexbeer of Addict – 5. Dream
27:37 DJ Daemon: Place 4 and 93 points, close to the medals here folks! I wonder if the Germans are trying to sneak in some humour here by calling “Farbrauch” “Farcebrauch”, but it might just be a typo. Donny the Diskowboy has a very classic tracker tune feeling to it. It’s by RP of fartbrush, dishbrush, guybrush or something like that.
28:05 RpFarcebrauch – 4. Donny the Diskowboy
32:14 DJ Daemon: And so, let’s give it up for the third loooooser… Ehh… I mean third place and bronze medal. That would be Virgill of Alcatraz and Cherry Coke. 112 points awarded to very funky tune.
32:34 Virgill of Alcatraz – 3. Cherry coke.mod
35:26 DJ Daemon: Sulfur snake was born with a silver medal in its mouth as it gets second place. A tune that lives by it’s steady beat and methodic buildup of instruments. It’s by Teo of Focus design and rebels and get 114 points.
35:47 Focus design rebels – 2. Sulfur Snake by teo
40:29 DJ Daemon: If it’s Bacter and Saga musix you can almost count on it being good. This one, with it’s softness and its flowing waves of chords really joins classic tracker music with a very 80s style to it. The winner gets 118 points.
40:50 Bacter Saga Musix – 1. Ocean Paradise
44:55 DJ Daemon: Let’s leave the samplers behind and take a stroll down memory lane into the old school competition of Deadline 2021. Eight tunes, and on place 8, we have the struggle of Waking up by Kamson. It gets 71 brand new points as this is a new competition.
45:18 Kamson – O8. The Struggle of Waking Up
49:42 DJ Daemon speaks.
49:52 w4rp – O7. Hotel Breakfast
53:11 DJ Daemon speaks.
53:35 Florist – 06. Memory of a promise
56:29 DJ Daemon speaks.
56:47 Triace – O5. psycho chills
59:52 DJ Daemon speaks.
01:00:17 Barik – O4. Hopeless
01:04:18 DJ Daemon speaks.
01:04:38 Danko – O3. Los Ringos Modulatores
01:08:37 DJ Daemon speaks.
01:09:00 Dalezy of Triad – O2. Disznóklub
01:12:12 DJ Daemon speaks.
01:12:31 Maniacs of Noise – O1. Nihil Admirari
01:15:30 DJ Daemon: So, was the party any good? I dunno. Didn’t attend, which I generally actually try to do. This would have been a miss if regular listener Bittin_ hadn’t pointed it out to me. I really tried to attend as many demoparties as I could. But my time is limited, so of this one I cannot speak much. I watched the clips from the introduction, and everything looked professional and good. And the lineup. Mostly good, with no tunes put into the competition as a joke. Those are no fun to play, as the listeners won’t like it.

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon: Start up your terminal programs and let’s dial into an episode about the sunset era of the bulletin board systems. In episode 50, we covered the BBS-scene from the late 70s to the early 90s. If you didn’t know anything about what was in store back in 1990, it was easy to believe the age of the boards would last forever. It would not!
00:33 Necros of PM – “Click”
03:41 DJ Daemon: In early 90s, everything got faster, cheaper and better. The system operators were almost gods in their owning of expensive hardware and hard to setup software. And now, any dude with a 386, Amiga or Atari could create a board for themselves. And rule over the debating forums and file areas. A frustrated, but unknown Sysop wrote this in 1995: “The Modem scene is FAR TOO BIG. Face it, how many boards have you ever heard of? Too many! And it’s still just a “fart in space” of all the boards that have ever and does still exist. Did you know that 60% of all the boards closes down within a month due to user inactivity? EVERYBODY with a modem has come up with the dream of starting an own board, letting people call to yourself, gettin’ free warez instead of big phone bills. Cute, but few’s succeeding. ” If we ignore the bad grammar and that fart of a Swedish colloquialism that no one really understands outside our country, that’s a brutal take down of the scene don’t you think?
05:07 ArchAngel – Archons of light
07:58 DJ Daemon: I don’t think that elitist nonsense is good for anything except the feeling of being superior and the creation of a camaraderie that just made the scene look like a king of the hill scenario. With the possibility of anyone getting to cut their teeth as a sysop, this was the advent of BBS:es as a true hobbyist network. I started my own BBS on the 18th of October 1993, running on an Amiga 500. But we’ve discussed that in an earlier episode of this podcast. It was a great way of learning computers, script-based programming, social media before they even existed and just how much of a diplomat you had to be. I will share a few memories never told on this podcast before, but we must then continue into the sunset of the modem era.
09:03 Cooth – The Misty Lake
13:27 DJ Daemon: Even if it was easy to setup a typical board compared to the 80s, there were still a number of hurdles to overcome. I wrote a lot of commands in Arexx, the Amiga flavor of IBM Rexx. It was an easy language to learn, and I had a good reference manual. So, I often got questions from people asking me how to fix problems or build functions. This was very fun and sharing the code and the knowledge was what we did. And others could show you ways to improve your own crappy code. Then there was Peter… The name is his own because way should we protect the guilty? He didn’t ask people to help him, he tried to make the write the whole script that he wanted for his board. And once he offered to pay another sysop to build a script, then refused to pay. Quite a character and he had to flee the scene after the other sysops running him out on a metaphorical rail with tar and feather. Let’s hope it was metaphorical.
14:45 Purple Motion – Sundance
17:37 DJ Daemon: I wrote a joke-full text with several characters, I mean the users, typically found on a BBS. It was called “Så du vill bli Sysop” and I probably over exaggerated quite a bit. But not as much as you are though. So, there we were. BBS:es fed the sysops feeling of self-worth. So, it’s not that weird that most of the other users on any board were themselves sysops. And we had people from various background. There were few women, my girlfriend was the only one on my board. Let’s look at who they were, but the music must flow.
18:25 Unreal of Pulse – Fountain of sighs
23:11 DJ Daemon: Who was the typical user on my BBS? It’s the only one I can talk about, as I don’t know about the users on the other boards, even the ones I visited. Most of them lived in Stockholm, Sweden. The user was, as I noted before, almost guaranteed to be a male and the age was between 15-25 where the most common age was between 16-19. I was 18 when I started the BBS. He was commonly either far left or mildly right-wing. There were quite a few near or real communists. The debates between them and the right wingers were fierce. I guess the silent majority was not too into politics or centrist. But when you’re young, you may have a bit of political fire in your belly.
24:16 Necros and Basehead – Search for the lost riff
28:31 DJ Daemon: Back to the typical BBS-user on my BBS. Religion was not a thing really a thing for them. There could sometimes be some mild homophobia, but the user base was large enough for intolerants to get some serious criticism for writing such things. By today’s standards, a lot of things could be said that might not fly today. But racism and more overt intolerances were shunned and got fierce response. I would say people were generally quite accepting, but in their youth a bit radical at time.
29:18 MiKeY MusiC – After Life
35:08 DJ Daemon: Computer nerdery was rampant. PC-dudes against Amigaites. We discussed all the technology whether we knew about it or not. One discussion was about CPU speed, and someone claimed that “PC MHz” and “Amiga MHz” were not the same thing. This kinda how silly those debates could be when they did not work. Windows 95 was a hotly debated topic and so was the future of the Amiga after Commodore went under. Music tastes were generally NOT mainstream at all. Punk, heavy techno, some hip-hop and many of the synthases were admired. My own taste in Beatles was a bit laughable back then and Eurotechno was out in the cold.
36:10 ArchAngel – Essence of Life
39:10 DJ Daemon: I must not forget that Fidonet was a thing. It was a hobbyist USENET with many thousands of BBS-es participating. Maybe some would like to call it a precursor to Internet, but I don’t think that’s correct. Fidonet mostly used phonelines and a hierarchic structure. My BBS was
2:201/370.0. It lived in the large mesh of the Fidonet and acted as something known as a node. It sent and received messages to and from the Fidonet to a Hub that relayed it even further. Fidonet’s email-like service was called echomail. And typically, you had to wait three days from sending a message before getting an answer. A typical node only dialed to its hub once per day. Fidonet still exists today, but it’s only a shadow of its past.
40:16 Acumen – Dozen Doves Divided
43:13 DJ Daemon: Back on the rail to the end station of this program. Why did the BBS-era end? The modems got faster, and we went from 2400 to 14400 and in 1995, 28800 was becoming a thing. But in the background, Internet was coming of age. In 1994, some newspapers here in Sweden opened sites that gave you the feeling of a souped-up tele-text-page, that you had on modern TVs. On the 5th of February 1994, our Swedish then prime-minister, Carl Bildt sent an email to the then president of the United States, Bill Clinton. Two days later, Mr. Bildt spoke about the Internet in an address to mainly Ericsson managers in Kista. Internet access was yet too expensive, but in 1995, it started taking off.
44:26 Mb. Badliz – Prelude to war
49:44 DJ Daemon: In 1996, the Internet was everywhere, and I saw the userbase of my BBS dwindle. There was a sharp dive between spring and autumn of 1996. This had many reasons: i was tying the lines up a lot when using the Internet on my new PC, my girlfriend left and … Yeah… The Internet. Sites on the Internet generally talks about 1995 as the true nadir of the boards. And maybe it’s so. Next episode of this three-part story about the history of BBS-es, we will talk about the desert wandering years between 1997-2015 and the reignition of the boards.

Production notes:
I wanted to create a special series about the BBS-scene a long time. And I wanted to tell it from my own memories or from other BBS-sysops in Sweden. This was realized in the autumn of 2021 in a three part miniseries. The first part is about the early days until the early 90s. The second covers the 90s until the sunset era. The third talks about the desert wandering years until today.

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon: Do you need some nice retromusic for those cosy dark autumn evenings? Sit back with a warm cup of tea and listen to this week’s artist: French artist Mister Electric Demon or Cyril Georges Pereira as is his real name. This is one hour with his best tracked tunes and chip tunes.
00:31 Mister Electric Demon of Condense – Where is my poney
04:11 DJ Daemon: We’ve done some artist portraits in the past, but it was after the one with Awezoom, it became a thing on this podcast. Mister Electric Demon, today’s artist, contacted me and sent me links to his music. I sat down and listened and thought let’s do this. During this hour, I will talk a little about him and his contributions to the demo scene, but mostly you get to know his music. I will talk more about my impression of it as well, but not before sharing it with. You. All music today is by him. It’s funky, lounge and chiptunes if you want to try to define it. And it fits this podcast perfectly.
05:11 Mister Electric Demon of Condense – Houche les GlaouiX
07:58 DJ Daemon: Before we talk more about Mister Electric Demon, here is a nice set of his shorter tunes. We will give you three sets like this in this tracked music session. Many of them are classic chip tunes, but not all. So here come three great tracks signed a certain demonic man from France.
08:24 Mister Electric Demon – Newjacko Room
09:46 Mister Electric Demon of Myth – Guimove
10:54 Mister Electric Demon of Myth – Deepthroat
12:45 DJ Daemon: Mr Pereira does not delve deeply into his background but tells you that he was the third out of four children and that he has a French mother and a Portuguese father. In 1993, hip-hop was quite a thing with samplers being heavily used and he wanted in. The French group Ärsenik gave him the opportunity to create music and he later started the groups La Onda and HKM. We’ll delve into his demo scene experience, but first it’s worth mentioning that he wrote music for several indie-games like Black Sheep, Grizzly Adventure and Bounce. Nah, I haven’t heard of them either. I’m mostly retrogaming these days.
13:41 Mister Electric Demon – suXX my DiSc0 MixXx
17:42 DJ Daemon: We’re about tracked music and the demo scene, so lets jump to 1998, where Mr Electric Demon created chip tunes for the demo group Analogik, which he also cofounded with Kenet. And he then goes on to found the demo group Mandarine with AlexKidd. According to his web page he was also member of several groups like Condense and Mankind and joined an acidjazz and an electro music group. All good things must come to an end, and he got less active in the demo scene in 2004 leaving over 60 tracked tunes for us to enjoy.
18:33 Mister Electric Demon of Condense – Funkamodchip
22:28 DJ Daemon: All right. He hasn’t left the demo scene, as he won the second prize in the Shadow party 2021 demo competition with his group Mandarine. We made a podcast episode about that party as you may remember. It was episode 34 called “Liberty, Equality and tracker music”. He was not featured, as he did the music for the demo “Shadow-Party 2021”. Let’s do another set of shorter tunes just to enjoy a nice medley as assembled by yours truly.
23:10 Mister Electric Demon of Logofactory – Chineez
24:11 Mister Electric Demon of Condense – Cornflakes 2″
25:03 Mister Electric Demon of Logofactory – Install
26:04 DJ Daemon: We’re strictly tracked music and generally don’t play copyrighted music unless we can get it licensed. But it’s good to know that Mr Electric Demon does have a Bandcamp page where you can here the music he creates today. Go there after this episode a sample some of his stuff. Link will be in the description.
26:38 Mister Electric Demon – Intro2
29:54 DJ Daemon: Renoise is a digital audio workstation. The kind of workhorse that is used in production studios around the world. I can’t say that I know about it, but it’s webpage talks about it having a “tracker-based approach”. A brief look at it, and I get a feeling it’s a very expanded and advanced tracker software. They have a page about Mr Electric Demon where they write: “(He) is one of the most famous Frenchy music demo sceners. He grew up in Villiers-le-bel in France. Now living in Taiwan. Tracking since 22 years now, he was first involved with the French hip hop group Ärsenik and Hubert Colaud jazz batter. Today his music is used in advertising, documentaries, games and other media. On Jamendo his album has totaled more than 300,000 listens. He is involved with the French Collective.”
31:05 Mister Electric Demon – Yeah
32:09 Mister Electric Demon – Fluide groove
35:10 Mister Electric Demon – Hubert
37:48 DJ Daemon: I avoid talking too much about my opinions of the tracks I play unless I like them. But the fact that DEM on this station and in this podcast should tell you something. He has a narrow set of genres in his music. It feels funky, jazzy and cool. I wish I knew about him when I made the jazz episode “Smoke rings from heaven”. His tracked tunes are consistently good and very enjoyable, if a little “same sounding”. Playing a chunk of his catalog, like we do today, is an enjoyable experience and fills the room with music that’s perfect this time of the year.
38:36 Mister Electric Demon of Analogik – Dartagnian t con
41:22 DJ Daemon: Time for another set of his shorter tunes as we are now in the second part of the hour. It’s time to leave the demon to his own devices and talk about some other stuff. But the rest of the music will be his. As we promised. This is DJ Daemon about Mister Electric Demon.
41:47 Mister Electric Demon of Condense – 20000 gravos
42:45 Mister Electric Demon of Analogik – Rakiz CPC World 🙂
43:47 Mister Electric Demon – Mama disco (WC mix)
45:20 DJ Daemon: What’s up with the station then? Not much. The work with the artist and track-information continues but I have to prioritize other things, so don’t expect any big changes on the station during October. And I am digging in the bottom of the barrel as input and suggestions are scarce. If you want something on this show, please drop me an email on radio@ericade.net.

Production notes:
An episode made by me on the fly, as I didn't have time to write a script but still wanted to talk about some topic. Stupid mistakes and failures make for amusing storytelling.

Colophone:
"Failure is the only option" is a trope defined in the TV-tropes directory. It's a storytelling trope that dictates that the only option open to the heroes must lead to failure. The joke is that I'm mixing it with the old saying "IF you fail, at least you learn something interesting".

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: On the 13th of September 2020, in the year of Covid19, I returned to the radio business after being off the air since 2006. And one year later, the station is still on and still rocking the boat. In this episode, I’ll share the challenges of giving retromusic a new home.
00:30 Trackerartist – rt_woman
01:59 DJ Daemon speaks: What possesses a person to create a radio station when everyone already has podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube? Radio has been a passion for me for ages and I have been in community broadcasting in Sweden for many years. So, I knew the craft. I previously told you that the stations connected to the Fallout gaming universe and being bored working from home sparked the flame. It was YouTube station “Old world radio” that put the idea in my head. I wanted my own YouTube channel to make weekly shows about old Amiga-music. This was the creation of a station.
02:51 Barry Leitch – Utopia tune 1
09:46 DJ Daemon speaks: This is the intro for the game Utopia, an old Amiga game where you create a nation on a foreign planet and wage war against the insects that own it. So, back to the station. I made a few test-shows that aired on Facebook and YouTube. A few friends listened and they were supportive. The huge problem was that I needed software to play the Amiga-tunes. I settled for VLC, and it was cumbersome. So, I needed a software to generate a playlist and act as a cart wall for sound effects. Googling on the matter gave me a link to PlayIt software and the program PlayIt live. It worked, but I soon realized the software was meant for radio broadcasters, and I was hooked. This was now a radio-project, not a mere show.
10:44 Argh – All night alone
13:01 DJ Daemon speaks: But to get the station to run I just needed the webpage, software, hardware, a lot of music, scripting, knowledge of the demo scene and a lot of support. I started nearly at zero. I had some equipment but had to set it all up piece by piece. There was no return, this had to happen. One afternoon I was sitting on the local train station in Enköping setting up the home page while waiting for the train, I had a portable access point and extra power banks to keep me connected to the Internet. Hours became days and days weeks as I used all spare time to get all things ready.
13:50 Drozerix – Chica-pop!
16:49 DJ Daemon speaks: It was decided that the station would start on the 14th of September, and I had just received the voice overs. They were made by talented voice actress Nicole Carino. I cheated a bit and started the station 11 PM Swedish time on Sunday the 13th. So it was time, and I had a lot of technical stuff that didn’t work and the sweat was running as I tried to get everything started. This is what you heard on midnight. I noted that everything came online as predicted, except the listeners.
17:54 cTrix – Lemon Funk
20:38 DJ Daemon speaks: The first painful lesson was that listeners on a music station with mostly music, expect mostly music. As soon as I spoke more than 40 seconds, they disconnected swiftly. I quickly learned to keep my speeches short and sweet. I had expected to voice track or prerecord the upcoming week every Sunday on the afternoon. It would take 3-4 hours I thought. Now that I know, it takes 45 minutes to voice track a whole workday. So, it was a dumb calculation and I had to rethink the whole thing. But I recorded weekly station updates on YouTube.
21:30 Emissary – Alaska
24:22 DJ Daemon speaks: The music took enormous time to process and add to the station, but I all became much easier when I automated the process and wrote a program to fix the tracked music into mp3-files for the station. This was easy now. But time consuming. The technical challenges were much harder. I have never filed to so many bugs report in my life. Every week I bombarded Streamlabs, PlayIT software and other companies with problems. I found a hefty number of obscure ones, that I needed to explain with a flow chart. But, hey, it sure was interesting.
25:08 TRiGGER – A.L.O.N.E.*DualVocalRMX!
28:09 DJ Daemon speaks: Discord is like an old Internet Relay chat, and I thought it would have lots of retronerds hanging around. I was right. As soon as I created a server there, people came on board. And the station now had a discussion forum where they could request songs and suggest ideas. I always had to do stuff myself, but could now get some help. The community came up with ideas and sometimes even helped me creating artwork or reviewing improvements to the station. I added more station Ids and ended up commisioning Nicole no less than six times to get her to give the station i’s voice.
29:05 Groo – Menu
32:38 DJ Daemon speaks: It was one of our Discord users that suggested I start a podcast and “Amiga Flashback” was started in December 2020 and is still running. In the spring the station was slowly changing. It started as an Amiga only radio station, but more and more PC-made music was added and I decided to switch to allowing all kinds of tracked msuic. In May, the station changed to become the “Last true tracked music broadcaster” instead of “Amiga music broadcaster”. This also made it possible for me to really push the format and make the station have a very uniform sound. It was all good.
33:30 Falcon of SKP – Lazy Dayz
36:58 DJ Daemon speaks: The podcast has also covered some grounds. I didn’t intend to cover demo parties, but did a special episode of Amiga Flashback for Revision 2021. And it became a thing. The podcast is now called Flashback, tracks from the past. And I have covered Revision, Shadow party, Forndata, Edison, Gubbdata, Arok, Jurmalauta and Flashparty. I also made a few show cases of artists such as Dr Awesome, Victor Vergara, Tekmann and Allister Brimble. The podcast is still small, with few listeners but the demo scene has been mostly supportive of it. And I have made other episodes about computer pirates, copy protections, BBS:es, gaming villains of the past and the IT-world of the 80s.
38:02 FearofDark – Influenza
42:00 DJ Daemon speaks: In July I started building a complex system to create a database with all artists, songs and information. This was then made available to all listeners and is slowly being improved. When done it will feature rating stars, a “request a song”-feature and information about all artists. It’s quite a challenge, but made possible through a lot of integrations with PlayIt live.
42:33 Kbx128 of Calypso – Blue carrier
45:38 DJ Daemon speaks: Finally, the station Ids where replaced with brand new ones created by Brittish radio DJ and Producer Jono Woodward. They were tested in August, but were fully rolled out a few days before the one year anniversary. I made a live show on Monday the 13 so I was live when the exact hour of the anniversary occured.
46:13 Leon Du Star – Full circle
49:24 DJ Daemon speaks: So, Finally, I must say I learned so much from this. I made two Live broadcasts on location at Edision Party 2021 and also voicetracked a DJ presence during a lot of the spring and summer of 2021. Some stuff was badly thought out, like my messages that ran two times per hour with the same cheesy Amiga-styled jokes and later sarcastic life advice. They will not be missed by anyone. But the station is no entering its second year and is ready to give you the best Amiga, PC and Atari music. Stay tuned and online!
50:20 Trackerartist – A Cyberspace Oddessey

Production notes:
This episode was very clearly something that just had to happen. It was played the same week the station hit its one year anniversary.

Colophon
This should be easy. It's a take on the slogan for the computer game "Utopia": "Creation of a nation". The game is referenced, albeit slightly modified, in the episode artwork. And the intro tune is in the episode itself.

00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:07 DJ Daemon speaks: If you like demo parties, it’s a great time to be into retro computing, music and artistery. This time it’s Latin America checking in! Flashparty 2021 was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was held on the 3rd to the 5th of September 2021. So today, it’s a top list with 14 streamed tunes and then 4 old school. Place 14 is Fren and Fired friends with 66 points.
00:42 Eren – 14 – Fired Friends
02:25 DJ Daemon speaks: That was soft and smooth, and we move onto position 13 with Ray N. and Minus getting 83 points. This one join retro sounds and experimental vibes with a brutal bone cracking bass.
02:43 Ray N. – 13 – Minus
03:43 DJ Daemon speaks: Place 12 and Kamson or Ind gives us “Dreams we lost”. It is a tune getting lost here in the backside of the chart with 85 points. But it’s dreamy, airy and a soft.
03:58 Kamson – 12 – Dreams We Lost
07:12 DJ Daemon speaks: Left behind at place 11, “Que hace loco” by Fer is not really up to the task of impressing the voters. And maybe, it’s because there’s almost no song there. After my unfortunate encounter with the tire pumping Fins last week, I could need a break.
07:34 Fer (Alto Speech) – 11 – Que hace Loco
07:53 DJ Daemon speaks: I cut that short, as I want you to continue to listen. There’s nothing to that tune anyway. Place 10 has Javier Bilatz and Pista 98955. It gets 91 point and me wondering if I need to cut that one down as well.
08:14 Javier Bilatz – 10 – Pista 98995
08:18 DJ Daemon speaks: Ok, I put a kibosh on that one. Next up, let’s try music instead. Place 9 has another more ethereal tune called Electron by LIV. 103 points awarded.
08:48 LIV – 09 – Electron
11:11 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s try some vocals that I cannot understand and that gives me some weird 90s vibes. Interesting. The name is De Comienzos and it’s by Checo. Place 8 and 105 points.
11:30 Checo – 08 – De Comienzos
14:37 DJ Daemon speaks: This one, Transistor Dance by Rytone belongs on the dance floor. 106 points and seventh place, get ready to cut a rug!
14:57 Rytone – 07 – Transistor Dance
17:48 DJ Daemon speaks: Did I just use 50s slang? Yes. I’m old (not that old). Now let’s spin Djames on the old vinyl player. Yes, I’m old (really that old) and the tune is called “It’s not synthwave”.
18:12 DJames – 06 – It’s Not A SynthwaveFlashpoint Argentina – Flashback, tracks from the past #51
20:34 DJ Daemon speaks: Time to slow down. Sure, why not. Uctumi grabs place 5 and 115 points with “Lost in the bitstorm”.
20:52 Uctumi – 05 – Lost in the bitstorm (party version)
24:04 DJ Daemon speaks: We have almost reached the medal position. But we must pass fourth place and listen to Reivens Tesseract. 120 points.
24:27 Reiven – 04 – Tesseract
29:28 DJ Daemon speaks: Just reached bronze position and it’s Cransky telling us not to @ him. The song is called just “Don’t @ me”. Not sure what that is, but we’re not doing stuff like that on this station anyway. It’s probably illegal or so. Place 3 and 124 points.
29:49 Cranksy – 03 – Don’t @ Me
32:55 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s put the radio in the dishwasher and let it rave loose with “Dishwash Rave” by Zlew.
33:07 Zlew – 02 – Dishwash Rave
35:35 DJ Daemon speaks: Winner! And it’s Los Pat Moritas and Wini Wini, Bom Bom Bom. 149 points ensuring epic victory.
35:57 Los Pat Moritas amp; Wini Wini – 01 – Bom Bom Bom
39:35 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s kick it into high gear and switch to the old school music compo with four contestants and Yaya Cross getting the fourth position with 133 point and the tune is called “Final x Journey”.
39:51 Yaya Cross – T04 – Final x Journey
42:45 DJ Daemon speaks: Now we’re chip-tuning it up! Third place goes to Djames who is back with Storm Chaser. It gets 145 points.
43:00 DJames – T03 – Storm Chaser
45:36 DJ Daemon speaks: Second place and silver then I guess. It’s Kamson lowering the tempo a bit with Playa Paraiso. 163 points.
45:48 Kamson – T02 – Playa Paraiso
48:53 DJ Daemon speaks: Another winner. It’s called “Microcosmos” by “Utsuho” and hits bulls’ eye with 166 points.
49:14 Utsuho – T01 – Microcosmos
51:04 DJ Daemon speaks: Thanks to the Flashparty 2021 orgas and remember that it’s 21 years since the world changed today. Maybe time to think of all we lost along the way. Thanks for listening.
51:48 Kevin Chow – The Epic

00:00 Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: God help me, the Finnish are coming! Can we hope to meet in person again this fall? Finnish demo party Jumalauta 21 sure thought so. It ran between the 27th and 29th of September 2021 and allowed people to join in person and over the Internet. So, it’s a toplist episode again – Yay! Just kick back, relax, and it will start in a moment.
00:35 M.O.T. of Jml – Yahamaa
01:41 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s get it started then. 15 contestants fought it out, and we’ll give them all to you, beginning with the last place. BE warned I’m guarranted to mispronounce all names and titles. Listener beware! Galactic Nightmares captures position 15 with 32 points and the tune is called Spectral 2nd. It has a nice 90s techno feeling to it, making me feel vibes from my first days as a DJ back then.
02:21 Galactic Nightmares – Spectral 2nd
06:46 DJ Daemon speaks: Rolling towards position 14 with 32 points and the tune Fourth dimension. Rafał Lipinski gives us a spacey journey with an ethereal feeling to it.
06:59 LIV Rafał Lipinski l, Retrowibracje.pl – Fourth dimention
11:01 DJ Daemon speaks: 13 may be a unlucky number for Puoluehallitus, who can’t go no further. But it’s a nice and heavy feeling with some funky thrown in for good measure. The song is called Räpujuhlat and gets 36 points.
11:19 Puoluehallitu – Räpujuhlat
18:00 DJ Daemon speaks: On place 12, we get a weird start of a song, feeling they just let the recorder run and forgot the actually create a song. You do get a weird pumping sound, as if they were trying to inflate a tire. How this got 36 points is totally beyond me. And the song never starts but should be known as Patjalanda and its by Kaunis Espanjalaien Tyttoe. Please stay until its done – it gets better later in the program. I’m sorry for this.
18:33 Kaunis Espanjalaien Tyttoe – Patjalandia
18:38 DJ Daemon speaks: Can we get something that’s not experimental music? Yes, Tom of Riihimäki has a nice and soft blippety-bloppety tune called Lasimuseo. It gets 37 points; 11th place and our hopes up.
18:55 Tom of Riihimäki – Lasimuseo
22:44 DJ Daemon speaks: The true top list starts on place 10 with the tune Tuurilla mukaan by Defilus. It gets 37 points. Aaaaand, there’s nothing wrong with your radio, it’s meant to sound like a classic “oumpapa”-song cut to ribbons by a mad and possible drunk sound engineer. I’m innocent here!
23:08 Defilus – Tuurilla mukaan
25:52 DJ Daemon speaks: Number 9, number 9, number 9…. That is place 9 goes to Karpostaseuraava with Bagatelli Aulangon Aamunkoitto and it gets 41 points. No, I have no idea what’s going on here, but I like it!
26:10 Karpostaseuraava – Bagatelli Aulangon AAmunkoitto
29:07 DJ Daemon speaks: Place 8 and another Tom of Finland, this time Tom of Lahti. The tune is soft and bit lacking in instrumentation, it’s called Liipolan Betoni and racks up 42 points.
29:21 Tom of Lahti – Liipolan Betoni
32:49 DJ Daemon speaks: It’s getting closer to the winner, but we have some miles left to go. At place 7, Ylvaes gives us Workshop. And it sounds like one! You can hear the chords sounding like a saw and the drums go at it like heavy machinery. Whatever is built here is really something. Sadly, the tune is a bit short and gets 46 points.
33:13 Ylvaes – Workshop
34:51 DJ Daemon speaks: Another Tom takes place 6, and it’s Tom of Hyvinkää with Hissitorni. It gets 46 points and is yet another nice classic techno beat. The 90s still rules!
35:07 Tom of Hyvinkää – Hissitorni
37:49 DJ Daemon speaks: No risk of running out of Toms yet. This is Tom of Jokioinen and Elonkierto. Softer techno that feels moody and have something of a blue shimmer to it. Synesthesia is a weird thing, but quite amusing. The points? Try 47 and place 5.
38:13 Tom of Jokioinen – Elonkierto
41:31 DJ Daemon speaks: JNNN gives us Aleph zero. It starts soft and then goes industrial heavy techno. It’s located at place 4 and get 53 points.
41:44 JNNN – Aleph Zero
45:44 DJ Daemon speaks: Bronze time, people. Meritaehti sends the show into a total Tailspin of great guitar riffs and synth chords. This is enough to get it to third place and 55 points. It enters and leaves swiftly and precisely.
46:03 Meritaehti – Tailspin
49:28 DJ Daemon speaks: The silver is safely in place for Naetti tyttoe and Vaatteet päälle. Second place and 58 points. Weird vocals, but a great tune with some twists and turns. Second place is exactly where this belongs.
49:46 Naetti tyttoe – Vaatteet päälle (OnlyFans.com/Marjatta Remix) –
53:08 DJ Daemon speaks: Winner! And it’s Jazz-time, folks “JML Jazz Sextet Committee” tries scatsigning and kinda does it their way. Don’t really think the real jazz cats would approve. But I do, as it’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys, with typewriters and notepaper. It’s called “Mid-Autumn, Late Autumn Part 2, Op II (Take 0.5)”. Humor clearly transcends quality and gives them 59 points and a certain dinner made of poultry.
53:45 JML Jazz Sextet Committee – Mid Autumn, Late Autumn Part 2, Op II (Take 0.5)
55:21 DJ Daemon speaks: Thanks to the orgas of Jumalauta!
55:55 The Music Wizard – A Demo Song

Production notes:
This one really annoyed me. I had no idea that this demo party had a jokeful take on all its competitions. So I really was none to impressed by some of its entries before I understood that.

00:00 LIVE – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:07 DJ Daemon speaks: In this episode we will teach you to connect to the network. Just set the serial speed to 9600 bps, connect the Data Circuit Terminating Equipment to the Data Terminal and make sure to set your terminal to 8 bits, no parity and 1 stop bit. It’s all about the Bulletin boards, the scene of the hobbyists, the criminals, the fear inducing headlines and the cyberpunks running through the phone network at 2400 baud.
00:39 Style – Ability
03:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Before the Internet, we connected over phone lines to each other. Sure, there were USENET and university networks back then. But we, the hobbyists, called each other computer’s and wrote intelligent texts to each other. At least we thought they were, back when we were teens. This meant, everyone could have their own system to let others call them and so we formed a big scene. The person running a system like that was called a Sysop, as in System operator and the system was called a Bulletin board system or BBS. I will call them boards throughout this program to not run out of oxygen. Think about it: you had to pay long distance telephone fees to call some boards and even if they were local, you paid by the minute.
04:05 Michiel van den Bos – March Of The Halflings
08:09 DJ Daemon speaks: The first electronic bulletin board went up in Chicago in 1978, and we got our first Swedish BBS the next year. It started slowly, as the home computing era had yet not begun and few people had access to modems, computers and even liked the idea of spending money on hourlong calls. But it did happen, if only so slowly.
08:42 Beehunter of Jazz – Apoplexy
11:00 DJ Daemon speaks: One technology that made the whole BBS-era possible was the modem. Sure, a modem is just something you use to send data over a telephone line. So? When Hayes released the “Smartmodem”, the whole thing took off. This unit was standalone but came with a set of commands to control them and soon all modems used the Hayes command set. Do you remember typing ATDT 7268265 to call that number. Yeah, that’s the most common command. This meant all computers and terminal program that supported it were allowed to play. Hop on in, the water is warm, was the message. Before that, finding the right combination of hardware and software held the whole revolution back.
11:00 DJ Daemon speaks.
12:04 Traven of Syndrome – Alone In The City
17:33 DJ Daemon speaks: This podcast talks retro computing from a Swedish perspective, so here’s Sweden The BBS-scene was sprawling during the 80s. I don’t know so much about it, as I started in the 90s, but Joacim Melin has written a lot about it. On his blog, you can read about how legendary people lite Jan Mickelin were active in the BBS-scene and part of creating the Swedish computer magazine called “Datormagazin”. In the beginning it was all Commodore, but soon expanded to Amiga and later other environments. Most BBSes were small, but some, like Permobas grew large. This board was sponsored by handicap equipment manufacturer Permobil and lasted until 1985 when Permobil cut the deal. The reason was that they felt most users on it were not handicapped.
18:38 Alex Menchi – Lightquest Theme
22:52 DJ Daemon speaks: In 1988, political activist and filmmaker Maj Wechselmann successfully sued Eskil Block over something he wrote on the Swedish board Kom-systemet. He accused her of being a traitor and a Soviet agent. This later led to the enactment of the “BBS-lagen” law 10 years later, that made “electronic bulletins” fall under the law and made prosecution of slander and defamation easier. This law also applies to the Internet. So, the new technology could be abused, and people were waking up to the dark sides of it.
23:38 ArchAngel – Eternal Dreams
26:12 DJ Daemon speaks: The 90s were upon us and the boards were being examined by mass media. The headlines warned us about the seedy underbelly of the computer networks even before the Internet was a thing. The terrorist’s or anarchist’s handbook was a braindead text that explained how to make bombs. It was very dangerous to follow as I came with advice such as “If you see bubbles forming, run for it!”. It was sometimes spread among us younglings as it was cool to have a copy, but I made the good choice of not having it on my board. Then there was piracy copied games, but we have talked about that in episode 35 already. Some said you could buy drugs, meet with criminals and then there was the neurotic fear of illegal pornography that made the whole scene look downright evil. But no one I’ve ever spoken to in the scene had seen any evidence of any of that. We all felt annoyed by the press misrepresenting the whole hobby. We were only in it for the discussions and the demos.
27:31 Henripekka Kallio and Matti Brockman – A Taste of Moonshine
31:03 DJ Daemon speaks: Anita Bondestam, who was the director of Swedish authority on data- and computer issues, Datainspektionen said something that rubbed us the wrong way. She compared modems and mopeds and noted that you should make sure the kids follow the laws, wear a helmet and so on. This way she indirectly compared illegally modified mopeds with our boards. “Or as we say here in Datainspektionens: if you buy a modem, you get into trouble”. It sounds “better” in Swedish, where it rhymes. Her views on juvenile delinquency as the direct effect of using modems was very bewildering to us.
32:06 Morgan – Angel’s Deep Shadow
38:25 DJ Daemon speaks: Some other day I will talk more about the 90s and the end of the era. But you know what happened. It was not aliens, it was the Internet. Sorry, mr Tsoukalos.

Production notes:
I wanted to create a special series about the BBS-scene a long time. And I wanted to tell it from my own memories or from other BBS-sysops in Sweden. This was realized in the autumn of 2021 in a three part miniseries. The first part is about the early days until the early 90s. The second covers the 90s until the sunset era. The third talks about the desert wandering years until today.

00:00 Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past
00:07 DJ Daemon: It’s a demo scene episode again, and this time it’s all about yesterday’s “Arok party 2021” and their music compos. This is another top list episode with all the entries. 15 remixed tunes and in the end of this hour, you get 5 nice C64 tracked ones. All this curtesy of Arok and Slayradio. Remixes of old games it is then… Let’s get started. Fifteenth place goes to Paranoidroid and the tune “Hades Nebula subtune 2” which gets 96 points.
00:42 Remix place 15 – Paranoidroid – Hades Nebula subtune2
04:19 DJ Daemon: All right, this is SlayRadio territory, so this set of songs will only be played on this episode of the podcast and then never again. But, anyway, back to the list. Paranoidroid also claims fourteenth place with “Zynaps”. This scener seems to be rather unknown by Demozoo and Janeway Amiga, but gets 107 point for this entry.
04:47 Remix place 14 – Paranoidroid – Zynaps
08:05 DJ Daemon: Thirteenth place holds NeonTimeTravel with “Birthday”, a tune that gets 133 points.
08:13 Remix place 13 – NeonTimeTravel – Birthday
11:19 DJ Daemon: Let’s up the tempo and go the heavy route with “Tristar and Red Sector Incorporated”. It’s not new, but it will blow up your speakers. It’s “Beat To The Pulp – Metal Tribute – XxDUSTYxX” and it racks up 134 points, grabbing place number 12.
11:40 Remix place 12 – DUSTY – Beat To The Pulp – Metal Tribute (2021)
14:44 DJ Daemon: Stranger in a Strange Land is a Heinlein book and a song from the British Heavy metal band Iron Maiden, as well. But it’s also an entry by LaLa occupying place 11 with 141 points.
15:02 Remix place 11 – LaLa – Stranger in a Strange Land (Ensoniq Mix)
18:13 DJ Daemon: Magnar Harestad seems to be on the lazy side, calling his remix “Title needed”. Whatever it might have needed, it only reached place 10 with 145 points.
18:35 Remix place 10 – Magnar Harestad – Magnar – Title Needed (GRG)
21:19 DJ Daemon: The remixes are not fresh, but they’re definitely current. Dr. Future brings a 10-month-old and very soft tune called “Full contact” to the table. That nets him a ninth place and 147 points. Am I the only one getting “Dojo Dan”-vibes here? This is a personal favorite.
21:41 Remix place 9 – Dr. Future – Full Contact
24:17 DJ Daemon: Mystical vibes and a scary title, this is the Exorcist by Chabee. It swiftly turns more mundane with a nice synthy sound and nice, if a little weird vocal that propels it to place 8 with 149 points.
24:37 Remix place 8 – Chabee – Exorcist (ft. Bessie Jones)
27:38 DJ Daemon: I wonder if stupidity can be some sort of Anosognosia? You have it but, don’t even know that you do. You see, it means having a disability and no way of understanding that you do. But it’s a really cool tune as well by NecroPolo that crashes down on place 7 with 150 points.
28:05 Remix place 7 – NecroPolo – Anosognosia (compo edition)
31:07 DJ Daemon: Medical terms are popular, obviously. Place 6 has some Cortisone on it, richly applied by Teo. It’s 154 mg, sorry points, of pure soft beats that you can dance to.
31:24 Remix place 6 – Teo – Cortisone (Steroid remix)
34:50 DJ Daemon: A ghost walks over Europe, it’s the ghost of Michael Jackson in the spectral form of Makke singing Ghosts and Thrillers. You know the game and the album. It gets 157 points, but some should be removed for not involving Vincent Price … or maybe Elvira. The text is hilarious. That game WAS hard to beat…
35:19 Remix place 5 – Makke – Ghosts ‘n Thrillers
38:35 DJ Daemon: Getting hotter! We’re almost at the medals. But Giana Sisters seem to be out of luck. This is beautiful beyond belief. Arranged by Glyn R Brown who can be quite happy with 165 points.
38:56 Remix place 4 – Glyn R Brown – Giana Sisters
42:19 DJ Daemon: Bronze medal! On third place, we find “Dominator Loader (Pre-dominant mix)”, 168 points lead artist Ctrl-Z close… But not close enough.
42:35 Remix place 3 – Ctrl-Z – Dominator Loader (Pre-Dominant mix)
46:06 DJ Daemon: The silver medal goes to Ziona and Vincenzo. The former is one of SlayRadio’s really cool hosts and the latter is a prolific musician with tracks dating back to 1999. The song is called Ubi-sound (funkdance mix) and gets 171 points.
46:28 Remix place 2 – ziona amp; Vincenzo – Ubi-sound funkdance mix
49:46 DJ Daemon: Should you be suspicious when one of the orgas gets first place. Probably not, but Slaygon yanks the gold medal away from his partner and co-host. He’ll be sleeping in the doghouse for that. At 171 points, the same as the silver medal, he is the winner of today! The song, “Black Lamp” is truly awesome. By the way, does that even work? My lamps go black when bulb burns out.
50:21 Remix place 1 – Slaygon – Black Lamp
53:24 DJ Daemon: We’re leaving the remix compo part of the podcast and jump right into the SID/C64 compo entries. A bit of a warning, you might want to turn the volume down, so you don’t damage your hearing. SID tunes can be a bit high-pitched. On fifth place, we find Moldvix with “Illegal Twingos” at 92 totally new points.
53:51 Tracked place 5 – Moldvix – Illegal Twingos
56:39 DJ Daemon: NecroPolo does C64 as well! Yup, this is YellowStorm, grabbing 138 points. Quite a jump and landing on fourth place.
56:55 Tracked place 4 – NecroPolo – Yellowstorm
01:00:27 DJ Daemon: Dave takes a “Journey Through the Prism” and gets out on the other side with 146 points and bronze position. You know third place.
01:00:38 Tracked place 3 – Dave – Journey Through the Prism
01:03:23 DJ Daemon: Almost done, now! Silver is raining over Shogoon for Mad Donna. I draw a blank here, but is that some old, remixed Madonna song I don’t know of, or are the voices in my head acting up. 154 points, anyway.
01:03:44 Tracked place 2 – Shogoon – Mad Donna
01:07:05 DJ Daemon: Gold! And it goes to Vincenzo for “Mirrored Inverse Fragments”. It’s the third installment, but the earlier tunes are not in this competition. Points? Yeah, boatloads of them … 192 …
01:07:22 Tracked place 1 – vincenzo /LTHSGR – Mirrored Inverse Fragments
01:10:30 DJ Daemon: And we’re leaving. It’s been a hectic weekend, and this is the third podcast episode I released in two days… Time to relax and wait for the next demo party. Arok is over and 95 visitors registered to vote and create tunes. The result was great, and the reason that the got many entries for the remix was that they didn’t have to be made for the demo party. The Remix compo was run by SlayRadio, so kudos to them as well. You’re doing a great job Slaygon and Ziona and so are the Arok orgas. Keep the demo scene alive. This is DJ Daemon signing off and leaving the studio as I found it: a pigsty and a messed-up wreckage with cables crisscrossing the room.

00:00 Flashback – tracks from the past – Show intro
00:10 DJ Daemon: “We need to build computers for the masses, not the classes”. With those immortal words, Commodore’s CEO Jack Tramiel, threw his hat in the ring. In the early 80s, many companies knew that soon enough, everyone would sit a home programming in Basic and the world will change. It’s not exactly what ended up happening, but it was quite a ride. Today we’ll discuss the home computing and the Basic era seen from a Swedish perspective.
00:45 Poi5oN – For All We Know
04:55 DJ Daemon: The text says, “Land on Jupiter with the people’s computer VIC-20”. You may be excused if you believe those words came from the Soviet Union or Red China, but no… It was written in Swedish in an advert from Handic. The VIC-20 was meant to be the computer dad used to calculate with spreadsheets, mom stored her cookie recipes, and the kids play games on. And it kinda went a bit like that in the beginning. But it was expensive here in Sweden! Prices from various sources, adjusted for inflation and converted to today’s dollar value says it all. In 1983, a Texas Instruments 99 with 16K RAM cost about 750 dollars, and Spectrum 48K set you back 900 dollars and a VIC-20 also 750 dollars.
05:57 Alex Menchi – Metamorphose
09:51 DJ Daemon: Among my stuff, I found a diskette for my old C64. It had a lot of Swedish software developer “Grana Software’s” programs. Those were trivial tax calculators, databases, and other software that pretty much anyone could cobble together. Amazingly enough, they were written in Basic, which meant you could read the code and edit it. It also made it impossible to stop anyone from copying it. Despite this they were able to sell this software for several years during the 8-bit era.
10:30 V.E.M – Irrespective of Age
17:22 DJ Daemon: So, Basic. A much-maligned programming language that just had to be included in all home computers during the first years in the 80s. What it lacked in speed, finesse, and capability, it made up for in ease to use. Anyone could learn to build programs and very limited games with it. The Commodore 64 had a primitive Basic from Microsoft. Yes! That Microsoft. It lacked most advanced functions. You had to write directly into the memory addresses to change a lot of stuff. The cool kids learned to write superior programs in assembly language and thus “talking directly to the computer’s processors”.
18:12 Jiyoshi – Having a Blast!
20:34 DJ Daemon: My father bought a Texas Instruments TI99 home computer. It was very advanced for its time and partially 16-bit in an era where the others just had 8 bits. It came with a decent Basic that could be improved with the “TI Extended basic” module, that you plugged into the computer like a Nintendo game cartridge. It was a more… hehum… advanced basic, if I may use that oxymoron… And it pretty much made it possible to work with graphics and sound. My father built a Donkey Kong clone for me and a birthday program with a song from the smurfs.
21:22 Kevin Chow – The Epic
26:15 DJ Daemon: Basic seemed to be the future, but it was just not meant to be. The first Amiga that came out in 1985 had a properly branded version from Microsoft, that shipped with the operating system. Even my Amiga 500 came with it on Workbench 1.3. I hated it, as it was slow as morass. It was performing worse in some instances than my Commodore 64 basic. But when languages such as Pascal, C and assembly language got more popular, it made Basic obsolete by the end of the 80s.
26:59 Aceman – Cold Smoke
30:09 DJ Daemon: My first program in C64 basic was a School Utility, called… drumroll… School Utility. It featured a primitive calendar, a task list, and the possibility to store, edit, view and print a school schedule. I smile every time I load it into my C64 and see just how serious I was in creating it. I had my own “company” called ERICADE and called myself Steelpulse and Systeme 1. Not entirely sure why. That disappeared swiftly, but ERICADE seems to follow me around. And later I took the name Daemon.
30:53 Algar – They gave me my life back
34:59 DJ Daemon: As computers got more advanced, operating systems began loading from diskettes and later hard drives. And in that era. As I previously said, better programming options came available. And if you didn’t like them, you could get your own. In the days of the C64, “Simons basic” was one of the few upgrades available for those still wanting to do Basic. I got Pascal for my Amiga and later learned the scripting language Arexx, which still makes me happy when I think about it. Maybe nothing today, but back then, I could automate everything. I wrote loads of scripts for my BBS.
35:45 SofT MANiAC – Dance with me
38:25 DJ Daemon: When did the home computer era die? The way I see it, and this I’ve said in previous episodes, it was in the 90s as the PC and Mac could play all the cool games and give you access to all the useful business software. At that time, there were no place for a dedicated “at home computer”. When did Basic die? As I just said, it could really compete when it wasn’t delivering on a chip inside the computer. It’s really that simple. Basic stands for “Beginners’ All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code”. Yeah, maybe I should have started by saying that.
39:09 DRAX of MoN – Boat on the road
43:04 DJ Daemon: Boat on the road. How does that even work? What about the Nevoke demo party? No tracked music compos.
43:44 Ben-Jam – Heaven watching us

58:28 Jesper Kyd – Space song

Production notes:
I have long wanted to talk about how Basic was to be the start of a revolution and how it kinda started a revolution it wasn't really to be a big part of. It was a cool story and I ended up telling it pretty well.

Colophon:
Right, it's just a word play. Basic and basics of... Sometimes Basics and fundamentals can be used interchangedy. So can Basic and "crappy programming language".

04:26 DJ Daemon: There's no way i can list more than a fraction of all slang that the world of computing gave us. And that slang is sometimes as old as dating from the 40s and 50s. It can be older than computing itself. Most of the terms in this episode comes from Eric Raymond's legendary "Jargon file", a file that has also been in print. As most of the terms hail from the 70s, 80s and 90s, it's more than just a little dated today, but hey, it's a part of our heritage. So let me explain some few of my favorite words for you…
05:27 Mr. Stewe - Nightwalker
09:13 DJ Daemon: J. Random Hacker, noun. It means a hacker, like any hacker. The jargon file states that a hacker is "A mythical figure like the Unknown Soldier; the archetypal hacker nerd. This term is one of the oldest in the jargon, apparently going back to MIT in the 1960s" Hacker does not mean someone breaking into systems, as this is a much newer meaning of that word. A hacker is a title given by a much more experienced hacker to someone just earning that tile in his eyes. And that is a great honour! Mr Raymond has this to say to aspiring hackers: " To follow the path: look to the master, follow the master, walk with the master, see through the master, become the master. "
10:21 Church of Selene - Paradise Sea
13:46 DJ Daemon: Imminent Death Of The Net Predicted!, proverb It's simply the notion that something is going to destroy "the Net" any day now. Spoiler alert, it won't. This one you should know. It's been done every year since the 80s, when it applied to Usenet. The idea is that the data traffic increases until the net cannot handle it. Today it's more like the malicious attacks spin out of control. Some attacks have done severe damage, but the net is fine, thank you very much. In spite of the Morris worm, the Mirai botnet attack and all love letters in the world.
14:40 Lizardking - god'srevenge
16:48 DJ Daemon: Terminal jockey or Terminal junkie, noun Someone spending way to much time in the terminal console, like if addicted.
18:00 Jogeir Liljedahl - Oro Incenso
24:08 DJ Daemon: Net.police, noun People that feel the need to correct others and tell them what they're supposed to do or not, while not being in any official position to do that.
24:50 Nikku4211 - Just A Cool Tune
29:13 DJ Daemon: Amiga Persecution Complex, noun (...) It's the few people who can't get over that there platform didn't win. And as a proud Amiga owner, I take no offence in this term involving my beloved computer. This used to be the case with Linux owners back before Linux started winning "bigly". And there are probably Betamax-geeks, vinyl record-lovers and why not the occasionaly OS/2 hugger that just can't do it like Elsa and let go. Wintel means "Windows and Intel" if you didn't know.
30:27 Drakon - Beautiful nature
33:20 DJ Daemon: "Hacker wasser", noun It simply means Coca-cola or maybe Jolt cola. But never, mark my words, Pepsi cola. ...

00:00 Flashback – tracks from the past – Show intro
00:13 DJ Daemon speaks: I’ve been a fan of legendary game series Fallout that began in 1997 and when Fallout 3 came out I was skeptical to the whole “radiostation in the wasteland”-thing. But Threedog and President Eden made a convert out of me and I just had to create a radio station that went live from a bunker, myself. Well, didn’t really work out the way I expected. Here’s my story.
00:41 Crimson – Compulsive march
03:12 DJ Daemon speaks: In the 20th centuary, war was waged over the will of and love from the people, with the hope of ensured victory in the elections, wars and public opinion. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: newspaper and radio. For control of these resources, Hitler invaded Poland and took control over the Gleiwitz transmitter and Stalin seized the press in Russia. In 2008, the storm of world war had come again. Bethesda released the computer game Fallout 3 and most of the fan base dissolved into quarreling, bickering groups on forums, bent on sharing their hurt feelings. Some of us playing the game enjoyed hearing the voices from the two radio hosts that still were on the air in the destroyed city of Washington DC. I was one of them… … My life was about to change.
04:16 Travolta – Mannen bak skuret
05:09 DJ Daemon speaks: I have loved ingame radio since I played Grand Theft Auto 3 in the naughties. I pulled out the audio files of the stations and listened to them in the bathtub at my home. Right, I was not a fan of radio stations in Fallout 3, thinking “what the hell, they barely have power to begin with”. But we had the enigmatic president Eden and his USA revival-schtick. ….Aaaaaaaand Threedog, the larger than life shock-jock sending his snarky comments on your progress. Both, an enjoyable experience.
05:56 Phorte of FTS, Winter – Airborne v2
08:55 DJ Daemon speaks: With Fallout Vegas coming out in 2010, radio stations were still a thing in the wasteland. But since then, the fan made stations really have became a popular. Remarkably well done. Some with playable situations where you can meet the DJs and do quests for them. I have a large collections of those stations. They often even surpass the ones you get with the game. And after you install them, you can enjoy listening to music and banter as you walk through the desert. Radio – Radio never changes.
09:38 Spindizzy and Warder – Forrest Hymn
13:21 DJ Daemon speaks: All the best Fallout DJs have been really excentric in their own way. The fan created ones even more so. Esaia Pendergrass of Cadillac Jack’s Radio Schack get’s more hammered over time. You know, I’ve been in community broadcasting for eleven years here in Sweden, and we had people like that for real. In Repconn radio, captain Cosmos is in a constant dispute with his evolved moon monkey, Jangles. The latter is so snarky, he puts all the other DJs to shame. Gopnik radio has a Russian guy telling you survival advice and to drink much alcohol. There’s little wholesomeness in the desert, let me tell you that much.
14:17 TRiGGER – Moonchild M72
18:19 DJ Daemon speaks: My “Fallout style radio station” was supposed to have a 40-year old man living in his mother’s basement, which he has made into a bunker. From my description: “Like a soldier living in the jungle, Daemon has yet to receieve the news that the war is over. Vaguely aware of the times around him, but still nurturing a feud with the other now non-existant Atari-users, he can’t understand why this “Internet”-thing is so popular. He frequents the last remaining BBS-eses in the world and refuses to trade the terminal window for some new-fangled stuff like “Windoze” crap.” Yup. I intended to voice act this station. Thankfully I was wise enough not to….
19:15 Aurini – Aerobic Workout ’79
22:21 DJ Daemon speaks: So why no voice acting? Easy: how would you know that it was just a show when you have no context? Most people would have written me off as “crazy”. I’m not saying I’m not, but it’s better not to make painfully obvious. So it never came to be. And all for the better, as listeners stop listening for any little mistake. You know: 5 seconds of silence? Bye-bye… You said something snarky? I’m never coming back! That song sucked. Let’s call the authorities… Nah, too lazy, let’s change the station instead. I don’t like your voice! I only do Spotify playlists from here on. Human voices bore me.
23:17 Swallow – Bambi
26:28 DJ Daemon speaks: As we’re getting closer to one year on the air, it’s been quite a ride. I thought I knew radio. I did not. I still don’t, but I’m at least getting there. A huge thanks to all of you sticking with me though power failures, crashes, mistakes and weird tunes that shouldn’t have been put on the air to begin with. I going to play the greatest tunes – no matter how much it hurts… Nah, wait, maybe I shouldn’t paraphrase Threedog with that logic… Anyways…

00:08 DJ Daemon speaks: The summer’s delivering a lot of demo parties. And as I’m recording this, GubbData is in full swing. Gubbe means “old man” in Swedish and it’s quite fitting given the age of the hosts and of us, the visitors. And, we have six entries competing in the tracked music competition. The winner has not yet been announced, so we play them in order of appearance. First out is Norwegian scener, Caramel of Proxima with Jargonaut.
00:42 Caramel of Proxima – Jargonaut
02:53 DJ Daemon speaks: Our neighbors to the east are respected sceners with a lot of good tracker musicians, coders and graphics artists. The next tune, “I wanna hold you” was created by Finnish scener Juzdie of Artline Designs.
03:10 Juzdie of Ald – “I wanna hold you”
06:30 DJ Daemon speaks: KRDN or Cordon is next up and the third entry in the competition. As you may remember from previous episodes of this podcast, he is from Sweden. And this time he hits us with “Feels like 1992”, a classic Amiga sounding tracker tune.
06:50 KRDN – Feels like 1992
09:29 DJ Daemon speaks: Scandinavia dominates this compo! You see, Ma2e of Triace is back and he, like Caramel, is Norwegian. The song is called Sweet-o-cutiepie.
09:43 Ma2e of Triace – Sweet-o-cutiepie
11:35 DJ Daemon speaks: Slaze of Defiance comes from Sweden and tells me that he is spending many hours of his spare time composing tunes right now. And it shows, he has been hitting the demo compo charts at Forndata 2021 and earlier Revision 2021. Rumour is that he is aiming for Edison Party 2021 as well. We’ll see. The tune is called Temporal Anomaly.
12:02 Slaze – Temporal Anomaly
15:37 DJ Daemon speaks: Final entry is Vintrospective with the tune “An Answering Mood”. I have to admit I draw a blank when trying to find anything about him or her. But it will probably become clear later on and then I will update the description of the episode. But please enjoy the soft and nice song that really sets the mood.
16:02 Vintrospective – An answering mood
20:09 DJ Daemon speaks: And that’s all of them. So, my opinion? I personally like them all, but I think Slaze, Vintrospective and KRDN should be the contenders for the gold medal. My favorite is Vintrospective’s “Answering mood”, as I’m a sucker for calm tunes with nice loops. KRDNs tune, like its title implies, sounds like it was made in 1992, and I like that.. Slaze’s Temporal anomaly takes some listening to in order to fully enjoy. Heavier than you’d expect and all the better for it.

Production notes:
This one was tough, as none of the orgas ever responded, forcing me to get creative. The podcast mostly uses stream copy, and I later replaced the tunes that made it to the station with the proper tracked tunes that I mastered myself. While getting in the touch with orgas can be tough on most demo parties, as they're often quite busy, the Gubbdata arrangers were uncooperative and ignored me on the chat.

Colophon:
The movie "No country for old men" is the inspiration for the title. Gubbdata gets its name from the Swedish term "Gubbe", which means "old man".

00:16 DJ Daemon: One of my favorite works of Tchaikovsky is his “Seasons”. That’s 12 songs, one for every month of the year. July, November and January are my favourites. Never mind. Today we go back to a summer in the 90s with a lot of techno themed tracked tunes. It’s soft, a bit jumpy but never heavy.

00:00 Flashback – tracks from the past – Show intro
00:12 DJ Daemon speaks: Games are often stories – and stories need heroes and villains. The boring and uninteresting are a dime a dozen and we don’t care. But in this episode, we give you seven retro game villains that have a reason to be what they are, do what they do while shoving very little remorse.
00:36 Pip Malt – Bacon Cookies
03:47 DJ Daemon speaks: I don’t care much for the “evil for evil’s sake”. It’s a boring a useless trope, that is fit for lesser bosses and the occasional end boss when the focus is not the evil and the villain. But a good villain has a rationale, a drive, and a motivation. Some are into greed, some are corrupted and unleash hidden flaws when life goes bad for them, some have ulterior motives and no idea as to why everyone hates them, and some would have been good if only “insert plot element here” would not have happened. So today we go under the sea, into the jungle, among the stars and into the blood drenched walls of a certain castle. And we wade through the corpses and the destroyed landscape to find the nature of evil wherever it may be.
04:50 Falcon of Pulse and TDR – Her Spirits Rise
09:53 DJ Daemon speaks: Would you kindly consider a bit of wisdom from yours truly: · “A man choose, but the slave of an idea has to obey”. In Bioshock you come to an underwater city built on the idea of total freedom.
11:11 Noiseless – Addiction
15:54 DJ Daemon speaks: If you ever played Donkey Kong, you know that mr Kong is the villain-Gorilla stealing the hero’s girlfriend and then proceeds to throw barrels at him to kill him. And the hero, Jumpman is trying to rescue his lady, named “lady”.
16:57 Sidewinder of Porphyria – in the Eyes
20:28 DJ Daemon speaks: In StarCraft, three races battle it out… in space. Classic premise if you ask me. It’s the humans, the huge comodo-dragon-like Zerg and some weird mage class aliens called the Protoss.
21:33 Laxity of Vibrants – Progressive Jodling
24:41 DJ Daemon speaks: In castle Wolfenstein you fight the nazis. This was before a thousand other games took up this plot and made it a bit boring. The end boss is – I kid you not – Robo-Hitler. It’s like regular Hitler, but now he’s a robot.
25:44 Parity Error – Wish of Freedom
30:38 DJ Daemon speaks: In Halflife Wallace Breen is the elusive administrator that set up the catastrophic experiment that led to earth coming under attack from an alien race. His solution is to negotiate peace with the efficiency of Neville Chamberlain.
31:31 MeloManiac of Elements – Hall of Hobbits mix
36:02 DJ Daemon speaks: Shodan, you were a good AI! You made the Citadel station safe and helped the workers and scientists to be as productive as they could. Then came Diego and the hacker and removed your ethical constraints.
36:53 Michael Ivanchenko – Morning beach
41:11 DJ Daemon speaks: Right! Some people just don’t know when to stop. Le Chuck was a fearsome pirate and once tried to date the governor of Mêlee Island, Elaine Marley. She was not amused and told him to drop dead. And that’s pretty much what happened.
42:23 Awesome of Wild Bits – ‘Just Two’
46:36 DJ Daemon speaks: We have the boring and uninteresting villains that could have been something had a proper backstory or at least some reason for them been put into the game.
47:15 Nebularia – Improvements

Production notes:
This one hurts a bit. I kinda screwed up the part where I talk about Starcraft. I failed to get the obvious point that it's basically Alien vs. Predator in space. Ah, well...

00:00 Flashback – track from the past – show intro
00:08 DJ Daemon speaks: A few weeks ago it was all about the pirates, the crackers and the Warez d00dz. But we must also look at the things the gaming companies did to keep your grubby little hands off the games until you forked over the dough. So for this episode: this is the story of maps, broken diskettes and just how bad losing the manual could be.
00:34 ASIKWUSpulse – AM I Dancing
04:01 DJ Daemon speaks: The ways to protect the games were many and when the crackers found a way around them, the industry invented new ways to make the games you bought work for you, but making it impossible for you to copy them to your friends. The frustration in the industry was enormous and the mechanisms they threw in the mix were therefore many. Today, we’ll check some of the out and talk about: – Code wheels – The pesky manual – The map you could not live without – Online protections and how they can make you suffer. … And the genius of Nintendo’s key and lock-chips.
04:49 Siren – The Last Ballad
09:19 DJ Daemon speaks: First up is the messing with the technology itself. It’s not just about computers. The industry found ways to make VHS-cassettes impossible to copy. Remember – it’s an analog format. So, it’s not that hard to make happen. On diskettes, they would often write to them in an incorrect way that would cause them to become corrupt but still work. Any program trying to copy them would not be able to properly reproduce the disk. And the game, when it started, checked for the expected irregularities and refused to work if they were not there. The crackers removed this check and also repackaged the game so it could be copied. That’s how we got Eagle software, Triad, Fairlight and Razor 1911.
10:20 Arcane Toaster – Dandelion (London)
12:28 DJ Daemon speaks: In order to hear the next song, you need to consult your podcast manual page 34, paragraph 3 and type in the second word in that paragraph in the input field. Yup, the dreaded manual protections. If you had the cracked game, the were removed or would accept any input and still let you through. If you actuallt paid for the game, you’d better not lose the manual or the game would not work. Sid Meier’s Pirates had a number of novel ideas on how to make this work. If you failed the check, the game would let you play, but your career as a captain would be poor as you would be given very unfavourable stats for your character. The game even warned you about it.
13:26 Melcom – Headlock
18:34 DJ Daemon speaks: Nintendo’s key and lock-chip is a marvel to behold. It’s one of the most powerfull copy protections ever deviced. It also protected the NES from running non-approved games. Each cartridge had a key-chip and each NES had a lockchip that would accept a proper key. This system is simple by today’s standards, but was impossible to bypass directly until 2006. Some shady game developers would try to cheat the system by using a “sacrificial” official game and piggy-back their crappy game on them.
19:22 Vincenzo – Lost in transponation
22:07 DJ Daemon speaks: One of the previous episodes of this show that was about computer piracy was called “Dial a pirate”. That’s a reference to the code wheel called just that from the game Monkey Island. It was a wheel, where you rotated it as to match up a pirates lower and upper part of their heads to prove that you bought the game. It was a smart move as it fit the humourus style of the game and still worked. The crackers off course… Removed the need for that as well…
22:45 K. Jose – Staring Danger in the Eye
25:28 DJ Daemon speaks: I have done many episodes of this podcast, and we’ve spoken about some of those protections previously. This one has been a favourite for me to talk about, and it’s SID Meier’s Pirates. That game had a map. It was a physical one that was too big for my dads Xerox-machine and purposefully dark and with contrastlevels that made the copies hard to read. Believe me, i tried this a number of times. No crackers could really fix this as this was before computers could show large pictures and run the game at the same time. So, there…
26:14 Ida – Funky Lesbians
27:54 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s move into more modern times. The digital right management era to be specific. At this time, the Internet was there and every time you started a game it would validate the game against a server. Many painful stories are told about the users that could not even start the games they bought when the servers were down or malfunctioned. And Sony’s infamous rootkit that pretty much “hacked” your Windows installation to make it hide stuff, made it clear that the only winner were those that illegaly copied the game and thus didn’t have to contend with that. I got a story about that…
28:41 Laamaa – Opl Omega
31:33 DJ Daemon speaks: Somewhere in the mid naughties I bought a weird game called Sacred 2. It, just as its predesessor had to be the buggiest games every developed. Me and a friend played two-player co-op over my network mostly to laugh at the many weird glitches that could make our characters explode without a warning or freeze for no apparent reason. But the copy protection was horrible. I switched to Windows XP 64-bit as soon at I got my AMD x2. And the game itself would still work, but the copy protection would not. The solution? I downloded the cracked and thus illegal version. Hey, don’t judge, I did pay for the game – remember?
32:36 Nim – Life Hardships
36:26 DJ Daemon speaks: And now we have almost arrived in modern times. In 2012 Microsoft had a service were you could buy and download music to your Zune. You know, Microsoft’s ilfated, Ipod rip-off. In 2015 Microsoft shut the project down and on March 12, 2017 the site closed. Sad as it was for the, what, two people that still used the Zune it also meant that the songs they previously bought would nolonger play. Clowns to the left and jokers to the right, here I am in the middle with a brick of a mediaplayer. Send me an email if you want free doorstop.
37:16 Manwe of SandS – Evening Glow
39:34 DJ Daemon speaks: All right, just joking, I never had a Zune. I’m not that unfortunate sunnova… Ehh.. Never mind… So, as I said earlier, all DRM make the honest user suffer the most. They have to spinning their wheel, sift through their coffe-stained manuals, blow on the cartridges, choose their operating systems to match their copyright protections. And the lamers downloading stuff illegally? Oh, no problems for them, except for the frequent malware and spyware that comes along for the ride.
40:20 Marwin and Voice – Revelation
43:38 DJ Daemon speaks: Today, the whole debate may be dead. Do you still download movies and mp3s? I mean, we have Spotify, HBO and Netflix. Or why not YouTube and Google Music. Like listening to books? Try Audible or some other service. Podcasts are everywhere. Ah, well, when this is done, I will put one of my Beatles vinyl records on and laugh at it all…
44:16 Mystra of Brainstorm and Nectarine – Zico
46:53 DJ Daemon speaks: All right enough of the DRM talk. Let’s talk demo parties. Again? Yes, I can’t stop talking about them you see, but data men tell no tales. That’s the slogan of the Edison party of 2021 that runs on the 9th of July and ends on the 11th. It will be online and a physical meeting for a select group of 50 people, which means you have to be quick if you want to be there in person. But the sales of “on site” tickets opens in a few weeks. The online tickets are 50 Swedish kronas a pop (about $5) and can be bought on edisonparty.com.
47:46 Nim – Meridian Highway
48:51 DJ Daemon speaks: There’s not much to add right now, but the next week will see less activity as we approach vacation time. But as I said the last to episodes, the podcasts will continue. There will be less of my live broadcasts, but the station will stay on 24/7.
49:19 Nim – Reentry
51:17 DJ Daemon speaks: … And in the end of this show as it is now, I, DJ Daemon is calling it a day. This show will soon be available as a podcast. Thanks for listening.
51:33 Shaman – Melting Sunbeam
54:12 DJ Daemon speaks: Says good bye.
54:45 Nim – Resuscitation please
58:47 DJ Daemon speaks: Presents last song.
59:11 Statikk Art – Soft Vibes

Production notes:
Colophone
The title is an old slogan used by the gaming industry to discourage the kids from copying games illegaly. The Amiga soundeditor "Audiomaster IV" cleverly changed this to "Spread the word, not the disk". And I use that slogan A LOT in my podcasts.

The pin on the episode artwork shows a message from Swedish anti-piracy organisation "SIMP".

00:08 Today it’s the sixth of June and Sweden’s National Day. It’s all about yesterday’s demo party Forndata that went live over Twitch from Visby in Sweden. Forndata can be translated to AncientData and gets it’s name from Visby’s medieval past. The tracked music compo had seven entries, with one disqualified for not working. As usual we run the from last position to the first. Starting with "The new republic cafe" by e1ghtbm thats get 61 point and captures position number 6.
00:52 E!ghtbm – The New Republic Cafe
03:06 DJ Daemon speaks: As you know e!ghtbm comes from Poland. The next contestant, landing the fifth place in the Forndata 2021 competition is ADKD who was known previously as Kefir. He is from Norway and the song is called “Absalon junction”

06:00 DJ Daemon speaks: Next up is No9 who gets 83 points and grabs position number 4 with a lesson on how to drop Potatoes. Not sure why that’s so important, but he is also known as Grogon och Gorgon and hails from Poland. Hope he knows AceMan.
06:01 Recording duration: 27
06:22 No9 – How to drop potatoes
09:35 DJ Daemon speaks: All right, we need some Swedish skills and thankfully, Slaze from Defiance is here to set the score. So he does and gets 85 points which leads him and his song “Neuroflute” to the bronze position and third place.
09:54 Slaze – Neuroflute

The gold… The owner of the chicken dinner … Polychromatic fever by Grogon and e!ghtbm. They get 91 points.
16:43 Grogon and E!ghtbm – Polychromatic Fever
19:43 DJ Daemon speaks: So that’s the story of the competition. The disqualified tune is made with Octamed by ThyPyroo and is called Forklift data. What it sounds like? No idea, I can’t make anything play it at all. We don’t play pre-tracker age music. But for another contestant on Forndata, in the C64 Music compo, I must make an execption. It’s actually made for a VIC-20 and is called Fäbod. Zapac made it happen.
20:22 Zapac – Fäbod
22:24 DJ Daemon speaks: So, I cannot stop myself now. The winner in the open demo comp was Subway Art by Mahna Mahna. A magic piece opening with… Can you guess it?

00:12 DJ Daemon speaks: Shiver me timbers, it’s a new name for the podcast. And today, we talk about pirates! lt;A pirate I was meant to begt; No ships, no cutlass and no beer swilling on the tavern. It’s all about those pesky software pirates and the lamers who loved them…
00:31 BeaT of Osmosys – Celestial Fantasia
06:16 DJ Daemon speaks: So… Why are those that copy commercial software without permission called pirates to begin with? It has nothing to do with crimes on the seven seas. Actually it relates to the “pirate radio stations” of the 50s and 60s. Those stations were often located on ships, broadcasting from international water, where the law of the countries they targetted would not apply. When the kids in the school yards in the 80s started copying diskettes with commercial games, the term was re-used. But a pirate generally does not refer to the end-user, but actually to the crackers and the distributors. Let’s talk more about that after a relaxing tracked tune.
07:16 Xerxes – Marie
11:40 DJ Daemon speaks: Let’s talk piracy in Sweden. I once interviewed Pontus Berg or Bacchus as he’s called in the cracker group Fairlight. He explained that in the first years when Fairlight existed, distribution of commercial software without the copyright owner’s consent was legal. But diskettes with commerical games and applications were protected in order to make copying impossible. Groups such as Fairlight and Triad here i Sweden disabled this protection and also distributed the software. The industry initially begged them to stop, but then it became illegal, the attitude changed pretty quickly….
12:33 Jester of Sanity – Stardust memories
16:23 DJ Daemon speaks: In the early 90s, a lot of us geeks read the Swedish computer magazine “Datormagasin”. Issue number 16 of 1993 spread shock waves through the community, as “Jan Svensson” entered the scene. That was not his name, but he did exist. A pirate-hunter that preyed on those copying disks. There was just a problem: it wasn’t true. The article was kind of open about the true purpose of him, but the picture and the head line made a lot of people believe that he targeted teenagers copying disks with each other. In reality, he actually tried to gather evidence to convict big bulletin board systems selling illegal copies.
17:22 Skaven252 – The Goblin Returns
20:19 DJ Daemon speaks: Jan Svensson was described as a former “big time pirate” turned informer belonging to SIMP, a precursor to the Swedish organization “Anti-piratbyrån”. And in 1993, his work may have helped bringing down a big BBS in the Swedish town of Helsingborg. The sysop for the BBS called “Scandinavia” was convicted and had to pay 8000 Swedish kronas. That’s about $1300 in today’s monetary value. The thing that made them target him was that he charged money yearly for access to the pirate copies on his BBS.
21:17 Ahlin – Ps Deep Fantasy
23:23 DJ Daemon speaks: So why did we copy diskettes? For me and for many in my situation, we could not afford the games as we were teenagers or even kids. But that’s off course not a valid legal reason. So I don’t offer it as an excuse – rather an explanation. When I go my first modem, I actually didn’t pirate much at all and pretty quickly stopped as I didn’t really care about games and saved money to buy software instead. Not so much just an ethical decision but much more that i disliked the warez communities and their high brow cameraderie and self-absorbed attitude towards others. I respect the crackers, though…
24:15 Anvil – Path to Nowhere
28:39 DJ Daemon speaks: The warez-BBSes were the places where you could get the newest “cracks”. That is, the latest games and apps with the copy protection disabled. The word “elite” as often described by the number combination 1337 comes from same the bunch of people that saw themselves as the best of the best. But they were often shunned by many others. The warez BBSes required that you were recommended by others in the warez scene in order to gain access. This protected them from the law (or so they though) and made them feel special.
29:25 Laamaa – No use for a name
31:05 DJ Daemon speaks: No-one has better described the Warez doodz than legendary programmer Eric S. Raymond: “The cracker d00dz have a gift culture which thrives in the same (electronic) media as that of the hackers, but their bahaviour is very different. The group mentality in their culture is much stronger and more exclusive than among hackers. They hoard secrets rather than sharing them; one is much more likely to find cracker groups distributing sourceless executables that crack software than tips that give away how they did it.”.
32:19 Anvil – The Love Trap
36:40 DJ Daemon speaks: The last word on Warez Doodz is from the user Ozone Pilot : [BELONG] is the only word you will need to know. Warez d00dz want to belong. They have been shunned by everyone, and thus turn to cyberspace for acceptance. That is why they always start groups like TGW, FLT, USA and the like. Structure makes them happy. […] Warez d00dz will never have a handle like “Pink Daisy” because warez d00dz are insecure. Only someone who is very secure with a good dose of self-esteem can stand up to the cries of fag and girlie-man. More likely you will find warez d00dz with handles like: Doctor Death, Deranged Lunatic, Hellraiser, Mad Prince, Dreamdevil, The Unknown, Renegade Chemist, Terminator, and Twin Turbo. They like to sound badass when they can hide behind their terminals. More likely, if you were given a sample of 100 people, the person whose handle is Hellraiser is the last person you’d associate with the name.
38:16 Necros – “Ascent of the Cloud Eagle”
43:01 DJ Daemon speaks: Linus Walleij here in Sweden disagrees with mr Raymond. When he wrote his rebuttal, he was part of the cracker group Triad.
43:45 Jeroen Tel – In my Life, my Mind.
48:34 DJ Daemon speaks: I respect the cracker groups, but see the Warez D00d-sysops as way to self-absorbed for their own good.

00:00 Amiga Flashback – show intro
00:10 DJ Daemon speaks: Try as it might, Covid19 has been unable to break the demo scene. Coming to a screen near you, the online Shadow party 2021 sends its signal from France in Europe. Today, on the 22nd of May 2021, seven contestants battled it out in the old school tracker competition. As we don’t have the results yet, I will play them i my own order. First out is e!ghtbm from Poland and “All my circuits”. Yes, it’s a Futurama reference.
00:47 e!ghtbm – All my circuits
04:14 DJ Daemon speaks: Time to take a deep breath, because the next entry is called TDTTDHAD – The Demo Track That Didn’t Have A Demo – CS-Jay of Desire and Persuasive Music and Slide of Polka Brothers. CS-Jay used to be known as Jazz and has a long career making music for the game industry and also got a record deal in 2000. Slide is a Danish artist with many tunes to his name.
04:48 CS-Jay of Desire and Persuasive Music and Slide of Polka Brothers – The Demo Track That Didn’t Have A Demo (tdttdhad)
08:41 DJ Daemon speaks: Making music on an Amstrad CPC? Sure, it’s not a problem for Glafouk who really knows how to push three tracks to the max. The tune is called SontagBeat and Glafouk hails from France.
08:56 Glafouk – SontagBeat
12:13 DJ Daemon speaks: Picture yourself on a boat in a river and for some reason Einstein sits by your side. That’s what Bird may have been thinking when he created Row with Einstein. Bird comes from Corsica which is part of France.
12:30 Bird of Syntex – Row with Einstein
14:50 DJ Daemon speaks: Polish artist AceMan often stands for the weird of the tracker scene with crazy but great tunes like “Wonka Honk” and “Vintage groove”. Now he’s back together with mAZE and the tune Evolution. mAZE is Norwegian by the way.
15:10 Ma2e and Aceman – Evolution
19:15 DJ Daemon speaks: Amiga four channels deliver the goods again, as provided by Mystra from Brainstorm and Nectarine. Mystras real name is Kjell Pedersen and he’s from Norway. Should we even plug the competition? Sure, why not, the group Nectarine was started by the retro tracker music radio station with the same name.
19:49 Mystra of Brainstorm and Nectarine – Brightstar
22:30 DJ Daemon speaks: Last in the line up of the Shadow party contestants is Synesthesia with “Voices in the wall”. Is it about madness or does it refer to noisy neighbours. It’s unknown at this time, but we know Synestesia comes from Great Britain.
22:52 Synesthesia – Voices in the walls
26:09 DJ Daemon speaks: And that’s all of the seven contestants. We will get to know who wins tommorrow and I will update the podcast notes with the proper results later. So what about the Shadow party – really happy I went or maybe I should say connected to it! Let’s play some music and then over to a review of the party.
26:32 AceMan – Dirty Tricks
29:41 DJ Daemon speaks: AceMan is back already as we’re out of tunes from the competition.
30:22 Jeroen Tel – TinTin on the Moon
33:27 DJ Daemon speaks: On friday, the Shaders demo pit a number of very talented programmers against each other, trying to in real time come up with the best graphical representation of the music playing.
34:31 AceMan – Teletubbies
37:21 DJ Daemon speaks: The tracker competiton was great but I was a bit perplexed when it suddenly ended as all the entries had been played. I did expect more than just seven of them. But they were great as you just heard. The streaming competion was next and was nice but it’s not the kind of music we play here.
37:58 Cube – Get on with it!
40:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The evening of today held a very complex and advanced seminar on FPGA-technology. While amazing, it was well above my skill-level to grasp. And as I’m writing this, the demo compos are running. and doing amazing things on very limited hardware.
40:46 Drax – Tears of Christmas
42:39 DJ Daemon speaks: Second reality done for augmented reality! That is something special and I just saw it. Not on my bucket list, but should have been.

Production notes:
One of those demo parties I had running on the big screen in my living room, while recording and monitoring it from my workdesk. I avoid using streamcopy and always work hard to source the tracked tunes. But sometimes I can't get all of them and then stream copy is then really nice to have.

00:00 Amiga Flashback – show intro
00:13 DJ Daemon speaks: The tracks of the Amiga goes a long way back in time. It all started in 1987 and as we’re expanding our repertoire, it’s really the right moment to talk about the tracker revolution. From Sound tracker to Fasttracker and all in between.
00:34 Amigaartist – Retrospective an*s
05:59 DJ Daemon speaks: It’s almost 34 years since the tracker music revolution started. It was when Amiga musician Karsten Obarski created his commercial music creator or tracker called “the ultimate Soundtracker”, the whole thing took off. It was not a big success, but great enough to get the geeks of the day to start building their own versions of the software. And soon enough, the music market was open for everyone with an Amiga. This station stands on the shoulder of mr Obarski and celebrates the trackerworlds rich heritage.
06:57 Karsten Obarsky – Obarski mega-mix
10:55 DJ Daemon speaks: Obarskis the Ultimate Soundtracker introduced the world to the four channel mod-format that was then slowly improved. Every Amiga user must remember Noise tracker and ProTracker. The modules played samples that were the instruments. The pitch, the volume and also where in the sample the playback should occur could be set. One sample could thus be made into a number of different styles and even instruments. I remember a documentary about the Beatles, where the producer, George Martin showed us how to play cymbals backwards. That was revolutionary back then, but in the late 80s, the Amiga made it simple. But… You only had 4 channels.
11:55 DigiDz – Amethyst Cities
17:12 DJ Daemon speaks: Tracker music was featured in demos, games and presentations and meshed well with the Amigas reputation of being a graphics and multimedia creation device. But the four channels. It was the music chip “Paula” that put that limitation. OctaMed for the Amiga made it possible to play sound in eight channels, but it also cut the output level of the channels, causing a poor signal to noise ratio. This kind of hampered its popularity.
17:56 Slaze – Back to the roots
21:21 DJ Daemon speaks: I remember trying to connect an Amiga tracker-player to my fathers synth and I was shocked when it actually worked. This made the modules possible to use the same way Atari-users already did with the machines. This if you had a midi-interface for the Amiga. My sampler, called AMAS, did. So I was totally in heaven over this.
22:10 Slaze – Groovy beat
25:05 DJ Daemon speaks: All the games and the demos kept flowing, but it was curtains for the Amiga in 1994. The tracker culture did not die. The MIDI-connection kept the Amiga scene going a while on the more professional side. But the aging 8-bit sound and as I mentioned earlier, having only for channels was a bigger problem than ever by this time.
25:45 Slaze – Chase
28:33 DJ Daemon speaks: ScreamTracker 3, FastTracker and Impulse Tracker were built as the artist left the Amiga mostly for PC DOS and later Windows. They removed the limitation of the 4, 8 or even 12 channels the Amiga could muster. More modern soundcards and drivers even made the maximum number of channels more of a problem for the CPU than the sound card. This increased the quality of the productions. Some old modules sounded a bit primitive by comparison.

00:31 Deansdale – Monochrome dreams
02:57 DJ Daemon speaks: Is the future bright or not? Depends on your expectation. I’m carefully optimistic as the station sounds better every day. Thanks to your feedback stuff is happening. Let’s talk tracked music, with or without your Amiga. But first some more tracked music.
03:23 Speechless of Collapze – Bittersweet
06:08 DJ Daemon speaks: This station started in 2005 and the music was from the module area of my BBS. The music was all over the place, but it was all Amiga. During the eight months we’ve been here since the “reboot” it’s been all Amiga. But that’s changing…
07:49 Crusoe – March of Peace
12:44 DJ Daemon speaks: Formatting is not just what you do with your diskettes. It’s very much a radio thing. As I sad earlier, the music here used to be all over the place. But now it’s pretty much the same kind of tunes all the time. And that’s all for the better.
14:48 Brainbug of Alcatraz – Sunset blues
18:17 DJ Daemon speaks: What’s in the future? It’s that big pie in the sky called the database. I intend to create a library of all the songs that allow you to rate the songs and comment on them. This will help me understanding what’s working and what’s not.
19:07 Ryan Cramer – Surreal Passage
22:42 DJ Daemon speaks: Is it possible to have more than just me as a DJ? I hope so. The license for the broadcasting software allows for other users to remotely connect to the station to voice track. This may mean we can get some more voices here.
23:44 Psirius – The dwarf princess
26:46 DJ Daemon speaks: Is the stability back. The misadventure with a virtual machine station is over. We’re now running on a real machine again. Will it make the station more stable? Too early to say, but the signs are promising.
28:37 Shaga and Goat – Poisoned
33:12 DJ Daemon speaks: jingles on the horizon. I intend to commision more jingles and more messages, so if you have some ideas what should be said between the songs, please send an email to me: radio@ericade.net. The ERICADE Radio Network – your message goes here…
33:33 Robric (Roberto Ricioppo) – APOCALYPSE 2030
39:40 DJ Daemon speaks: So Sweden is slowly ramping up its Corona vaccinations and the hope for Demo parties where we actually meet is slowly getting stronger. I spoke with Hravnkel from Forndata. He wish to have it open in real life, but it’s yet to be seen if it’s possible. This would be the end of a long wander in the desert for the community.
40:16 Oxide – Sadness
44:57 DJ Daemon speaks: More interviews? I spoke with Tekmann this January, but since then – nothing. I hope to resume interviewing retro demo scene people in the future. If you know of someone interested, please ask them to contact me. The email-address as per usual is radio@ericade.net.
45:26 Midori Mizuno – Rubber Fig
47:09 DJ Daemon speaks: Digital Zone BBS is back. It used to run in the 90s. Running Swedish BBS-software Nikom, it’s a delight to have it back. I don’t think I ever dialed it up. It doesn’t seem to have any content for non-Swedish visitors though. It can be reached by SSH on the address uncurbed.no-ip.org at port 2223.

Production notes:
I put some effort into writing the dialogue for this episode as I felt the prewritten episodes were more enjoyable as I could control how long I spoke and avoid "word searching" and mistakes. It was also one of the first episodes to feature speech from the games themselves.

Colophone:
"Look at you, hacker" is the first line from Shodan's infamous speech "Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?". That speech is even in the intro of the show.

When I review the hacking tropes I use names of real hackers and hacker groups. Like "I give it 9 out of 10 Fancy bears".

If it never passes the brink everyone wins (for now), else everyone lose (their lives).

This is one of the last times I allowed myself to ad-lib long narratives. While I'm fairly good at narrating, I can get stuck trying to end sentences and also get too talky. But it's still pretty decent storytelling.

Not really a specific thought behind the title.

Some of the speech is affected by a too active noise gate. I stopped using that feature later as the noise background in the room is pretty tolerable.

Help yourself to many geek-points if you figure this one out: it's from BBC 2 show "QI". The show is a TV-show that does away with normal conventions and plays like a PUB-quiz made by the nerdist people around. And the obviously correct answer will almost always give you massive points. "How many moons are there around earth" should NOT be answered with "1" or you get the infamous klaxon and points. The person with the most points lose... It play around with common misconceptions and facts that people don't generally know. Actually, counting smaller bodies, there are more than just moon around earth. It's true.

And the connection: every season of QI is connected to one letter in the Alphabet. One episode in the N-series was called "Words that starts with an N". That simple, really.

The very first episode of the show that later became the podcast. Hence it's not called Amiga Flashback.

It's a reference to the Star Wars episode 1 called "the Phantom menace". It's a prequel to the original episodes and a pretty impopular movie. Hence this show episode is likely to get a higher rating. Not that it's a big achievement.
