AboutThe “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”.

🎤 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
Erik Zalitis 00:02.936

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.

Erik Zalitis 02:03.778

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.

Erik Zalitis 02:48.972

Time to compare notes with your host, Damon. 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.

Erik Zalitis 04:46.222

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.

Erik Zalitis 09:06.75

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.

Erik Zalitis 13:06.126

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.

Erik Zalitis 18:58.894

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.

Erik Zalitis 20:12.738

I have no idea who this Palle is, but this is his fame, so I guess he's happy. More freedom!

Erik Zalitis 28:18.594

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.

Erik Zalitis 29:16.814

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.

Erik Zalitis 33:32.852

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.

Nicole Carino 36:16.234

Time for some questionable wisdom from your host, Deamon.

Erik Zalitis 40:09.432

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.

Erik Zalitis 44:36.45

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.

Erik Zalitis 47:28.554

Ericade Radio Network remembers the Commodore Amiga.

Erik Zalitis 50:15.15

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 thatErik Zalitis

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.

★★★★ (26 votes)

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.
