Podcast episode profile for 1. A prequel better than the Phantom Menace
The “pilot” or pre-sequel-whatever. The show that started the wild idea of having another podcast. Because we need one… Or do we?I did not know it would really become a podcast later, so it had no name really. Just felt like making a voicetracked show for no apparent reason . Coreus from Retro Spirit suggested I started a Podcast, so I did… All later episodes correctly bear the name “Amiga Flashback”.
ericade.radio knows the chiptune and demoscene! We're the radio station playing all the best tunes from the most prominent, promising or trending artists in the scene. We also know about the artists and songs as well.

🎤 Production Notes
The very first episode of the show that later became the podcast. Hence it's not called Amiga Flashback.Colophon: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.
Transcript
Jingle - Top of the hour
You are listening to the Arikade Radio Network. Here's another hour of Amiga retro music. it's 9 o'clock in the evening here in Sweden. This is my favorite two hours, the golden hours between 9 PM and 11 PM. And I will keep you company, so, well, time to open a whiskey, a beer, or maybe some tea.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - BREEZE
Yeah, that song is leaving the air like a cold breeze here on the Arikade Radio Network. Yep, the song is called Breeze, so it fits, doesn't it? More Amiga music with some kind of intro music.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - intromuz-2_hb
Time to compare notes with your host, Daemon. Some people tell you to sit less in front of your Amiga. Some people tell you to sit more in front of it. But you know, they agree on one thing. You should use your Amiga. And of course you should. You know where I got the idea for this speech? Well, they say the same thing about alcohol. And I don't really disagree.
Message - Time to compare notes with your host Daemon
Message - Some people tell you to sit less in front of your Amiga some say sit more in front of it. But they agree on one thing: you SHOULD use your Amiga
DJ Daemon speaks.
Blitter of Eternal - Compotune
DJ Daemon speaks.
light a anonymous little tune there. It's called CompyTune and I may have a memory this may have been one of the competitors in the Arikade Network BBS competition in 1995. Don't know what place it came on but probably high.
Amiga - revelation
Amiga Revelation and now we're going on the wild side. No, it's not that song. It's actually Dr. Awesome with Awesome Wild Walk.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Dr. Awesome - Ozone Wildwalk
Do you remember when Paula sang the blues and Denise had the moves? This is the Ericade Radio Network, and we remember. Yeah, of course we do. Why did Denise sing the blues? Yeah, well, because she was barely adequate as a graphics chip in the early 90s with the PC, VGA adapters had come and become much better, but Paula still had the moves.
Jingle - Do you remember when Paula sang the blues and Denise had the moves - This is the ERICADE Radio Network and we remember
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - pop-ting
I'm sorry to be so repetitive and stuff, I want to remind you on the 19th of December, which is next Saturday, not this one, go to www.fondata.org because we have really a party, or we, some guys in Visby does. You should really go anyway.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - palle's theme2
I have no idea who this Palle is, but this is his fame, so I guess he's happy. More freedom!
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - FREDOMM
The Ericade Radio Network. Stuck in our mother's basement since the 80s. yeah, I can tell you how I got this idea. I kinda imagined a nerd stuck in his mother's basement at age, I don't know, 35, 45 something. It's not just that fun anymore at that age, I believe. Well, I don't have that problem. I have a home of my own, a bunker of course, because you must have a little bit of class.
Jingle - stuck in our mother's basement since the 80s
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - LRB
This is one of those songs that people recognize, everybody knows exactly what it is, but I have no idea what the tune's name is or where it comes from. Okay, it's... I don't know what the song is called either, but the movie is called Bridge Over River Kwai, and it wasn't that happy really.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Trackerartist - Minoan war
If you haven't heard this song already, can tell you why it was added this Sunday. So it's brand new and still very, very old.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - transformer sbk
Time for some questionable wisdom from your host, Deamon.
Message - Time for some questionable wisdom from your host Daemon
DJ Daemon speaks.
Amiga - ambient massive
DJ Daemon speaks.
very well named song I must say. It's called Ambient Massive and it is massively ambient or I don't know, vacant or whatever. Well, we're pretty vacant here, all of us, because it's very late in the evening.
Amiga - DIOXIDE
DJ Daemon speaks.
Yeah, well the Amiga, the 32-bit wonder that some people thought was 16-bit and played 8-bit tunes. That's a thing. And it is presented to you by a 2-bit hack that really shouldn't be on the air.
Amiga - EMOTIONA
Ericade Radio Network remembers the Commodore Amiga.
Jingle - Remembers the Commodore Amiga
Dr. Awesome - 11-1
DJ Daemon speaks.
for awesome I don't really understand what the heck is he doing here he has used the two last months here on this station being awesome I am jealous I could never make music no no not like as good as he could I could not make music I'm saying that
Klorathy of Freezers - Island of sadness
I really don't know about things. Do they have emotion? Because this is very sad aisle, according to the title. Anyway, we are leaving this hour and I'm going home and taking all my toys with me. Which is not very much a trick because I live here. Yeah, I live in a radio studio. It's sad. But what's good is you get to hear one of the greatest Amiga tunes from a computer game. Well, okay, not Chris Hulsbeck quality really, but nearly. Laser Squad.
DJ Daemon speaks.

About the artist Amiga Flashback View all tracks ›
Started in december 2020, Amiga Flashback was the first name of "Flashback, tracks from the past". It features nice midnight DJ banter from DJ Daemon, interviews, discussions about retro-stuff and lots of tracked music. Most of it is Amiga tracked tunes. In May 2021, it was renamed and started allowing all kinds of tracked tunes instead of mostly Amiga ones.

🎙 People in this podcast episode
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.
- 82.3 MB
- 86 279 760 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.
- 59:49
- 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.
- 192 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.
- −13.4 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.
- 5.0 LU
- moderate
- 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.
- 1.3 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 11
- 10.6 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.
- −15.3 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.
- −15.6 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.
- 0.30 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.
- −3.9 dB
- very wide
- 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.
