Transcript
ericade.radio - Good midday - Here is another hour of tracked music
Time for flashback. Tracks from the past. With your host, DJ Daemon. Welcome to the first out of two episodes about the Christmas. We have a music list to play for you. That is something special. It was Kurios that assembled it and put it together. Thank you very much. We're starting with Mick Rippon and belated the Christmas.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Mick Rippon - Belated Christmas
DJ Daemon speaks.
What a nice intro. Christmas music it is, but not just super Christmasy. Something in between is allowed as well. We are going on with Jacko and Micho and excess denied.
Jakim and Michu - Access Denied
DJ Daemon speaks.
This is Flashback, tracks from the past, and we are going on with Eagle from Norway, an artist from Norway, with a song called Harmony.
Eagle (NO) - Harmony
DJ Daemon speaks.
A few weeks ago Slash of ATD came to our Discord forum and he gave us a number of his songs. But here is another one that Kurios has dug up from Slash_AtD. It's called Farby. Brand new here.
Slash_Atd - Farbi
DJ Daemon speaks.
Next up is a song we haven't played for a year. It's Jogail Liljardalen, the masterpiece that's called Christmas. I actually had to ask Siona from Slay Radio what it was. I recognized the song, but couldn't place it. It's called A Child is Born.
Jogeir Liljedahl - Christmas
The shiling question is course Jesus. We are going on with a mistra and the nostalgia rides high. Indeed it does because we are in retro land right now.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Mystra - Nostalgia rides high
DJ Daemon speaks.
seek our music archive. You can go to Ericade.radio and click the link called Music in the menu on the top of the display. We are going on with Elwood and Sweet Dreams. No, it's not a cover of the Eurythmics song, we can't play that.
Elwood - Sweet dreams
DJ Daemon speaks.
I wonder if Coreus is trying to fit as many Norwegian artists as possible because here is another one, it's Circus with Melodyne. No, I don't think he's doing that. There are a lot of really good Norwegian artists in the trackers scene, but you should know that. Think about Jogeir Liljedahl we just heard.
Xerxes - .Melodien
Nice and sweet, really nice tune that one. Well, this is episode 1 out of 2, so the next Saturday you will hear the rest of Korea's 31 songs that he selected and put into office.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Kyrandia - Replay/Carcass
DJ Daemon speaks.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I should have told you the name of the song. That was Kurandia and replay Carkus. We are going on with Mr. Man of Absence with Backfire.
Mr. Man of Absence - Backfire
DJ Daemon speaks.
halfway down the list and we are going on with projects and Michael of nuisance and this is a really good Christmas dance mix
Projex and Michael of nuance - Christmas dance mix
DJ Daemon speaks.
It's time for a remix now. You probably know about the OCC Sangen song. Here is Nick Schor's version of it.
Nicsure - Occ-San-Geen
DJ Daemon speaks.
Very good remix and we only have a few of those. Most of the station is actually mod, that's the original pro tracker format or noise tracker or whatever. We have XM, that's fast tracker and we have IT, that would be impulse tracker and some scream tracker as well. Next up is DJ Ale and 20th anniversary.
Dj Ail - 20th anniversary
DJ Daemon speaks.
We've gone from nothing from Mick Rippon to actually featuring some of the best tunes he ever made. And we're going on with another one from him, Mick Rippon and the final mod. Yeah, it is an Amiga mod.
Mick Rippon - The final mod
DJ Daemon speaks.
And the Choreos is digging up some really classic Amiga tune here. It's 8PM, the Polish artist with System Override. You're tuned to Flashback, tracks from the past.
E!ghtbm - System override
DJ Daemon speaks.
Huge thanks to Koreos for compiling this masterful top list. Alright, last two songs leading you into that good night that would be Ross and Lappa Valley Express and Format and Format's Madness. I'm DJ Daemon, this is Flashback Tracks from the past.
Roz - Lappa Valley Express
The ERICADE Radio Network wishes all its listeners a merry xmas and a happy new year.

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.
- 84.8 MB
- 88 871 645 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.
- 59:54
- 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.
- 198 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.
- −14.2 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.
- 1.8 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.
- −2.0 dBTP
- safely below the ceiling
- 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 11
- 10.8 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.
- 0.01 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.
- −14.8 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.
