Time for another episode of Flashback. Tracks from the past. Chill out, chill down, relax. It's time for another hour of great tracked music. And today we do just that. We chill out with the Modarchive and the genre with cool music. We're starting up with Reactor Grit and Bossanova. And they advise you to get to the fridge, get a refreshing cold drink.Go back to your computer, sit down.

Reactor Grits - Bossa nova
DJ Daemon speaks. 35s
Quite nice. The instrumentalist of this module, it continues saying: "Open the drink, forget all your stress for four minutes, start the song, listen and drink, close your eyes, done. How do you feel?" I don't know about you, but I feel better.We are going on with a free tune medley going on with Skaga, Bonfires in Heaven, Stinkbug, Bismut Chambers and Broomhatter sleeping outdoors.
Skaga - Bonfires in heaven
Stinkbug - Bismuth Chambers
Broomhatter - Sleeping outdoors

You're tuned to Flashback, tracks from the past, and I'm DJ Daemon. Next up is Backlash Intro by Missy. And the comments we got from Modarchive, posted by Farhard Semil in 2021, rating it 10 out of 10. Really sad and good music, thanks to the composer and the heart of course.And the text reads Backlash Intro made for the Chemical Reaction Intro Factory. Tracked by Messi, remixed by Neomann.
Backlash intro - Myssy
DJ Daemon speaks. 43s
I don't know, have you ever thought about a man or a woman in your head controlling you? No, I'm not saying you're crazy, but that's idea of hominunculi, or hominunculus, that's quite a thing to say. And that's the next song, it's from Aceman, but this one isn't crazy, more calm and soft and really nice. The comments? Yeah, we got them. Posted by ADKD in 2020, rating it 10 out of 10.Completely ace mod, technically really savvy and at the same time super fresh with its own kind of genius.
AceMan of Resistance - Homunculi
DJ Daemon speaks. 48s
If you like this kind of music, go to modarchive.org and search for the genre that's called Chill Out. Next up, it's Deep Throat and Caves. And we are going off the deep end here. If you take a look at the instrument list, you can read, Remember, history is fake, UFOs are real. Okay, Mr. Tutokalis, I find you everywhere. Anyway, we got comments.Posted by Awesome Ducks. 2020, rating it 7 out of 10. Makes me feel cool. I like to lead. Not gonna lie, it makes me feel like I'm in the Amazon forest, but with a keyboard.
Deep Throat - Caves
DJ Daemon speaks. 40s
Can we get any better? Yeah, guess so. I think we actually have a lot of stuff here that rivals this quality. We are giving Reactor Grits another try. It's a song called She Walks By, and Reactor Grits, friendly enough, tells you exactly what it's about. Some soft instrumental hip-hop. And it was done in 1999. Alas, I don't have any comments, but I can give one of myself.Great tune, soft mellow, makes me feel good.
Reactor Grits - She walks by
DJ Daemon speaks. 40s
Just one little dangerous letter away from something else we have LCD, Alone with You and Beemoth, posting a really really nice comment, rating it 10 out of 10 in 2013. Just wow, this had me blown away. It's a beauty of a module, and one which really feels epic while you listen to it. Nothing else to say butPerfection it was curated by Magnar Hærestad, and I'm not sure if he is LCD. I'm gonna check that out
Lzd - Alone with you!
DJ Daemon speaks. 47s
So I checked it out. LCD is, in fact, Magnar Härestad. It's short for Lizard. We are going on with a lost boy and eternal memento. A memento is a memory of some kind. You can talk about memento mori, which is a reminder that one day you will die. Not a really good thing to think about. No, no, no. Let's talk about the comments instead. Saga Musics in 29.hosting a comment with 7 out of 10. He seems to be complaining about how big the file is. Never mind. But he says the tune itself is not too exciting. But it's not bad either.
Lostboy - Eternal Memento
DJ Daemon speaks. 40s
Danish artist Thomas Morgensen. He's next, but you know him as Drex. In 2002, while a part of Maniacs of Noise, he composed the song that's called Forgotten Farewell. And comments? Absolutely. 8 out of 10. That's what Mushy Mushy in 2008 gave it. Another very good one by Drex. Some points knocked off.because of this slightly boring drum track, but great emotional melodies.
Drax - A Forgotten Farewell
DJ Daemon speaks. 48s
We are getting closer to Valpergis night here in Scandinavia, or Sweden. is flashback tracks from the past, and we are going on with Folk Ballad by Manka of Pathos. Comments? Mood writing. Nice relaxing piece. Very gentle, good mix. 8 out of 10.In 2009, Pip Malt, rating it 8 out of 10, says an excellent song let down by a few peculiar elements. One of the long violin playing samples, there is what appears to be clapping at the end, which sounds like really a bad loop. Ah, stop complaining, this is good.
Manka of pathos - Folk Ballad
DJ Daemon speaks. 44s
I just checked the database and we actually have Rapture as a name both for a group and one song. So here is another one. It's Glitch and Rapture. And in Christian mythology so to speak. Rapture is when Jesus comes back and there is a big fight and the righteous people go to heaven. But the song? It gets rated 10 out of 10 by SSRI. He or she writes a great ambient chillout tune with easygoing steady drum loops and piano to keep things interesting. Required listening. Yeah, I agree. So let's do that.
GliTcH - Rapture
DJ Daemon speaks. 43s
I'm reading the instrument list for Detour by Ant One. That's the next song by the way. A chill out song I made in the middle of the night. A bit repetitive, but sleepy. Maybe someone likes it. Sorry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great. Sorry for 4 megabytes. Of what? The song?This was back in the day I guess when diskettes were a thing and that was pretty big. Just remember trying to download 4 megabytes with a 14400 modem. No joy today, just swishes by.
Ant1 - Detour
DJ Daemon speaks. 35s
As nice as this has been, it's time to say farewell. I'm DJ Daemon and this is Flashback Tracks from the past. Tracks gets the last tune, or the last word, or whatever you want to say it. It's called Angel Lies. And if you like this podcast, we're back in a week. Every Saturday around 9 PM on the station. Go to Ericade. Radio. And I'm leading you into that good night.

He got his Commodore 64 in 1989 and his first Amiga in 1990. A huge fan of tracker music and have had a long standing dream to create a radio show playing that kind of music. In 2020, that dream came true and in december Amiga Flashback started as a podcast. It was later renamed Flashback, tracks from the past and here we are.
He is also an orga for Swedish demo party Edison and a total retro nerd.

Mp3 file details
Open the waveform at full size (opens in a new tab)
- Scan status Whether the station’s analyser could read this mp3. “OK” means every number in this box was measured from the actual audio, not copied from a tag that somebody typed.
- OK
- measured from the file itself
- Scanned When the file was last analysed. If the mp3 is replaced afterwards, these numbers describe the old version until it is scanned again.
- File size How much room the mp3 takes on a disk, and how much data you use when you play or download it. It is roughly the bit rate multiplied by the length.
- 84.5 MB
- 88 558 018 bytes
- File last changed When the mp3 on our server was last written - usually the day it was uploaded, or encoded again.
- Length How long the recording plays. It is measured from the audio itself, so it is right even when a tag in the file says something else.
- 1:00:10
- hours : minutes : seconds
- Bit rate How much data is spent on each second of sound. More data keeps more detail when the audio is squeezed into an mp3: 128 kbit/s is acceptable, 192 is good, and 320 is the most an mp3 can hold.
- 196 kbit/s
- good quality
- Sample rate Digital audio is a long row of measurements of the sound wave. This is how many are taken every second. 44.1 kHz is the CD standard and 48 kHz the video and broadcast standard - both capture everything a human ear can hear.
- 44.1 kHz
- 44 100 measurements a second
- Channels How many separate signals the file holds. Mono is one. Stereo is two - left and right - which is what lets a sound be placed somewhere between your speakers.
- Stereo
- 2 channels
- Codec The method used to shrink the audio. MP3 leaves out the detail an ear is least likely to miss, which makes the file about a tenth of the size of the original recording.
- MP3
- Loudness The average loudness of the whole recording, the way a listener hears it (“integrated loudness”, in LUFS). The closer to 0, the louder. Music services aim for about -14 and podcasts for about -16, so that you do not have to reach for the volume between tracks.
- −14.4 LUFS
- typical for streaming and podcasts
- Loudness range The distance between the quiet passages and the loud ones, in LU (1 LU is 1 dB). A small number means an even, compressed sound - good in a car or on a phone. A large number means big swings between soft and loud.
- 2.3 LU
- very even
- True peak The highest level the signal ever reaches, including the peaks that appear between the measurements when the file is turned back into sound. 0 is the ceiling: above about -1 dBTP, a recording can crackle (“clip”) on some players.
- 0.3 dBTP
- close to the ceiling - may distort on some players
- Dynamic range How far the loudest peaks stand above the loud parts of the recording, in dB - the “DR” number that music collectors compare albums by. A low number (under 8) means the sound has been squeezed until everything is equally loud: punchy, but tiring to listen to. 14 and up means the music has room to breathe, with real hits and real quiet. It says nothing about how loud the file is: turning the volume down does not change it. Chip music made of steady square waves naturally lands low.
- DR 12
- 12.4 dB · moderately dynamic
- Left channel level The average strength of the left channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the right channel.
- −16.9 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Right channel level The average strength of the right channel over the whole recording (“RMS”), counted in dB below the loudest level a digital file can hold (dBFS). More negative means quieter. Compare it with the left channel.
- −16.9 dBFS
- average (RMS) over the whole file
- Channel balance The left level minus the right level. Close to 0 dB means both sides are equally loud. More than about 1 dB and the whole mix leans towards one ear.
- 0.04 dB
- balanced
- Stereo width How strong the part that DIFFERS between left and right is, compared with the part they share. A very low number (-40 dB or less) means both sides carry the same sound - mono in practice. A higher number means a wider stereo picture; a very high one can sound thin on a single speaker.
- −10.8 dB
- ordinary stereo
- Cover art in the file Whether a picture is stored inside the mp3 itself. A player shows it as the album art when the file is played somewhere else - in a car, on a phone, offline.
- Yes
ID3 tags Text stored inside the mp3 file itself - title, artist, album and so on. It is what a music player, a phone or a car stereo shows while it plays the file, and it travels with the file wherever it is copied.
Measured from the mp3 file on our server by the station’s own analyser. Point at a label, or select its question mark, for what the number means.
