Tracks from the past!Let the top list begin! Two top lists today. The first is Track Music. 16 contestants and place 16 goes to Serena by Anacron. 297 points. And here it is.

Erik Zalitis 01:07.15

Some of the songs get little bit shorted down. And we have to go on, it's Place 15 and it has Tarson doing some monkeying around. It's called Delay Music and gets 320 points.

Erik Zalitis 01:46.158

Next song you will get in full, it's Place 14. You know how they say, time flies when you attend a demo party. So it's no joke that Dietze, he calls his tune Flying Through Time. As I said, Place 14 and 338 points. And let's do some upbeat tempo.

Erik Zalitis 05:04.206

Getting closer to the in-crowd of Plays Tom. But LaMettrie has to accept the lucky Plays 14 with Resilier Generation and 339 points. I'm getting some weird 8-bit game vibes here.

Erik Zalitis 08:10.19

We continue down the 8-bit memory lane with the Beat Hawk and Asin 19 Thai Eka 22. I probably mispronounced all of that.

Erik Zalitis 12:16.078

tracker as used by Signal gives you all the right retro feeling. A mix between new and old and it is a comfy ride on place 11 with 355 points.

Erik Zalitis 15:20.846

Yes, the real top list is here. It's held by Jaffa of static and decadence. 360 points leads the way into the first step of the Starway to tracker heaven.

Erik Zalitis 18:10.318

What do we want more than bass? Netflix and bass? No. Try NES and bass by jesky. 368 points.

Erik Zalitis 18:45.494

Nice place. Janna Sisters is a legendary game on the Amiga, but have you ever heard about the jolly Crack Sisters? Me neither, but it seems like a game created in the weird mine of Lorica. 379 points and a call from social services awaits.

Erik Zalitis 21:12.622

Getting down the list, it's time for Forcing Constraints by Yupi of Femia. 430 points for a nice impulse tracker tune with a mellow feeling to it.

Erik Zalitis 23:54.638

Next up are some soft beats and techno feeling from YCI. The song is called Sanity Complex and gets 479 points. And yeah, my father is watching some kind of game here in the background if you wonder what's going on.

Erik Zalitis 26:18.414

5th place! H is just a hexadecimal according to Outran. Mine, by the way, is 2F. And here is 208 hexadecimal points for this upper beat track. Yeah, that's 520 decimal.

Erik Zalitis 29:20.526

I need a drink now. Good news, Raw Argon is serving up a blueberry plasma smoothie. It's yours for 558 points.

Erik Zalitis 32:15.662

Third place, bronze medal. Absolutely. And we are going on with something I haven't heard about. Killer pigeons. That's a thing, obviously. It's alcapelo. And pigeons, well, no, I haven't heard about them killing anything. But tomatoes, they are dangerous for real. How many points, you say? Well, 577.

Erik Zalitis 35:43.79

It's Ross of Fit and ByteRapers and the song is called Thin Upper Clouds. Last time I checked those who are called Altostratus. Now you know how many points? It would be 595.

Erik Zalitis 38:36.258

I don't know about you, but when I see the names Bonefish and the Mug I know there is a golden medal somewhere. Remember Brofists? Yeah. And now you have the Mug, Jaws and Bonefish. So yeah, it's gold. Nasty ways and 892 points.

Erik Zalitis 41:54.574

The end of the top list, or so you thought. Of course I got another one for you. It's from the Assembly Listening Competition. I get a feeling they messed up a movie title. It's called Fast and Curious by Ephemerics.

Erik Zalitis 45:47.598

This is not a complete list, but you get the highest ranking numbers and at number 5, 518 points. It's back to Orion and El Capelo.

Erik Zalitis 49:27.278

And time for some fantasy when it comes to names. It's Midnight Commando and the revenge of the relaxing saxophone. That sounds very scary.

Erik Zalitis 53:07.982

Whoa, what happened there? Somebody stole the vinyl in front of my eyes. I don't like that. But here is me, DJ Daemon, leading you into that good night is the three winners. The first was The Bronze, it's Spacey also, I speed head of ByteRapers. On second place Logic Suppressor by Turbunight. And on first place, Visitor Macro SFLS Stage by Duality Vile.Thank you for listening and remember ericade.
