ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - with your host DJ Daemon
Time for flashback, tracks from the past, with your host DJ Daemon. And it's time for the second episode out of two, where Coreus has collected a lot of good music that has this Christmas feeling, starting up with Lizard King vs Daniel Sama, Transatlantic 27.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Lizardking vs Daniel Somma - Trans Atlantic 2007 (CDE MusiX Club Radio MiX)
DJ Daemon speaks. 20s
Do you remember Turkan 2? This masterpiece of a game. It had perfect music, perfect graphics and a lot of hard gameplay so to speak. We go on with C's tune and Turkan 2 with a great bath. Christmas at it!
CZ Tunes - Turrican II - The Greath Bath (Christmas Edit)
DJ Daemon speaks.
You know what's fun? Christmas cards. That's fun. And I got two of them. To the station and to me. So a big shout out to QM of Team 2010 and Lsk69 of DLJ. Thanks guys. And if you want to see them, they are on Ericade.radio. Go there.
Stephane Picq - Lost Eden (music 1)
DJ Daemon speaks.
Quite a favorite on this station. It's the fan pick and a new song at least on this station. It's Lost Eden Music 1 and we are going on with Format and Eternity.
4-mat - Eternity
DJ Daemon speaks.
Let's go on with a fast car, or a cat, I don't know really. It's Martin Iverson and the song is called Jaguar XJ220 Amiga Game Main Theme, Luther's remix even.
Martin Iveson - Jaguar XJ220 Amiga Game Main Theme (Luther's remix)
DJ Daemon speaks.
Yeah, alright, I know it's not a cat. It's actually a game. And it was released in 1993. Anyway, we'll go on with co-op and for a long time.
Ko0x - For a long time
DJ Daemon speaks.
Do you remember Simon the Sorcerer? Yeah, that was a game that you could play on the CD32 I believe, and it had speech but you turned it off because generally it was very slow to load from the CD. But a great game and here is a remix made by SelectaNovel, Simon the Sorcerer, Dragon's Winter Cave. Dear Simon, I am pleased to announce that you have been chosen from literally hundreds of hopeful candidatesto perform a death-defying but extremely worthwhile quest for which you will be rewarded quite a lot. All you have to do is rescue me from the hands of the evil sorceress sordid. Feel free to use my extremely valuable spell book and dog to assist you.
Selecta Novel - Simon the Sorcerer - Dragon's Winter Cave
DJ Daemon speaks.
Yeah, that's sweet. Here's a question for you. Do you really need another version of Hyperbass? You know, the Enigma demo music? Well, Choreo seems to think so, and I agree. It's by Amok.
Amok - Hyperbased - Enigma
DJ Daemon speaks.
I have never played Jazz Jack Rabbit. It's an awesome game. Well, after looking at the YouTube clips, think so. Next up is Robert Allen and Joshua Jensen with Stage 2 Candion from the game. Yes.
Robert Allen and Joshua Jensen - Stage 2: Candion
DJ Daemon speaks.
I always loved EPIC's Summer Games and Winter Games and California Games and World Games and of course if you play the games they have some really good music for the C64. Here's a remix, it's Amy Gamer with Winter Games. Gold medal medley.
AmiGamer - Winter Games (Gold Medal Medley)
DJ Daemon speaks.
This is Flashback Tracks from the past and I'm DJ Daemon. We are going on through the night here with Cyborg Jeff and Fury of the Furries. It's a computer game with some furry people that were basically just dots, furry dots with legs. And this is called Furry in the Forest, the OC remix.
Cyborg Jeff - Fury of the Furries "Furry in the Forest" OC ReMix
DJ Daemon speaks.
Maybe you should be careful to kind of advocate drinking alcohol, but if you do it responsively, you can listen to the next song, which is Red Ribbon and the Liquid Harmony. It's like Dutch courage, but well, another name I guess.
Red Ribbon - Liquid harmony
DJ Daemon speaks.
And it's 10 minutes to go before we call it a night. For a day. Actually it's more like a night. I'm Didier Demond and leading you into this great night. It's T-Tracker and JPK's Christmas Silence, then it is Damien Bland with 50's Fanfare.

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.
- 85.7 MB
- 89 890 865 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.
- 1:01:13
- 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.
- −14.2 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.
- 1.7 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.
- −3.0 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 10
- 10.0 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.
- −17.0 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.
- −8.7 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.
