Podcast episode profile for 10. The doctor's in and remixed
Dr Awesome is a staple here, but today's podcast plays the remixes that you don't get to hear on the station otherwise. For one hour we reimagine his old Amiga modules with modern synthesizers and the effects to match. Not much to say, but a lot to experience. Best heard on high volume or with a decent set of head phones at a comfortable level (don't damage your hearing!!).The remixes are by the good doctor himself, because who would be better to improve already stellar songs?
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
I love Dr. Awesome and his work and felt a special episode for him was a great idea. There are actually two episodes about him, but this is the one with his remixes and non-Amiga musik.Colophon:"The doctor is in" is written on the booth where Lucy sits in the comic strip "Snoopy". She provides pretty doubtful psychological services mostly to Charlie Brown.
Transcript
Jingle - Top of the hour - Good evening
You are listening to the Ericade Radio Network. Good evening and welcome to another hour of Amiga Retro music. And ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we're leaving 2020. Doesn't that feel fine? It does for me. That's one thing for sure. Today on Amiga Flashback, we're doing one thing and one thing alone. We are playing Dr. Awesome, but not the tracks that you're used to.We're playing remixes and stuff that is strictly said not Amiga, but could have been in an alternate reality.
DJ Daemon speaks.
Dr. Awesome - Moongazer
DJ Daemon speaks.
Balls to the wall! A new Lone Geyser version that is really something. You have heard the original one on this station a number of times. It's on a rotation here. But this one uses a lot of modern music, synthesizers and stuff that, well, kinda makes it all cooler and better. But he has done a number of other tunes as well. We're going on with Space Deliria 2000.
Dr. Awesome - Space Deliria 2000
DJ Daemon speaks.
probably know that his real name is Björn Lind, a Norwegian artist with some serious renown here on the Amiga front. He made a lot of modules and as you know he's also a very prolific creator of music, mostly for the Worms series of games. But I'm not gonna play those because well, we've done that a number of times already. And you don't want to get totally bored with him, do you?For the next thing he has quite a session. Not a jazz session, but a synth session.
Dr. Awesome - Session
DJ Daemon speaks.
you like this music just as much as I do, have a little bit of a suggestion for you. Seriously, this music can be bought from his webpage and for about 60 dollars you get the whole collection which actually includes broadcasting rights as well. This is why I can play it on this station without getting any copyright strikes or anything. So that is a good suggestion. And I had a friend from Great Britain, is a... well...
Corona and all things being what it is, we have not had the possibility to meet my brothers and their families. So no gifts given away. But of course, the kids there get their gifts from the parents and people like that. So they are not sad or anything. But he was totally taken aback by it. What? Seriously? Yeah, it's a pretty common thing we do here in Sweden. He could not understand it.
Dr. Awesome - Cosmos
DJ Daemon speaks.
Cosmos! Yeah, it's Dr. Awesome because everything today is and we're going to go on here with a Union City conspiracy Also, yeah, okay, you know But I wonder one thing do you know which Games those tracks are from I think some of them are actually from the games that he sold his music to but some are not thisNext one, the Union City Conspiracy sounds like something from a game. I gotta google for it. See you in a bit.
Dr. Awesome - Bonus track: Union City Conspiracy
DJ Daemon speaks.
I should have known this, but I didn't. Or I didn't remember that is. As soon as I googled for it, I immediately knew what it was. It was a game that came out in 1998, call it itself Nightlong, the Union City conspiracy. And yes, of course I remember it. But it was released long after the Amiga was history. I never played it, but I heard about it. And it was during those times we thought the Amiga might be coming back.Might as well believe in Bigfoot for all that matters.
Dr. Awesome - Himalayan Summit (Hightop)
DJ Daemon speaks.
So, 2021, is this the year we hit the gym again? Because that's what we do every year for about three weeks. Then we go back and whoever is owning the gym says, thank you very much for paying for the whole year, you idiot. well, no, I have some good stuff coming up really, because I always say that, but I mean it. I believe next year is going to be some cool subjects like the games we all wanted, we longed for,And when they came out we were so disappointed we couldn't really believe that nothing ever came out of it. Nothing good that is.
Dr. Awesome - Bridge to the Universe, part 1
DJ Daemon speaks.
Bridge to the Universe Part 1. Before that it was Himalayan Summit. High Top. Yeah, I know what the summit is. Thank you, Bjorn. We're going on with empty spaces and it's time to close shop here for this time. I hope it's been nice here, although I admit I didn't have anything planned for this evening. But still, the show must go on and you have to say something and I...I'm pretty sure you don't want to hear me reciting the bible, the telephone directory or maybe some manual about some weird modem that was sold between 1993 and 1994.
Dr. Awesome - Empty Spaces 2
DJ Daemon speaks.
Spaces 2. Yeah, that's what we are almost playing you out with here. The last song is gonna be Niagara also from Dr. Awesome, of course. It's silly to say that I mentioned it that we only play him today. Right, so this is DJ Daemon saying bye bye and we'll be hearing you next Saturday or whenever the pod comes out shortly afterwards. In between, please bejoining our Discord channel, Ericade Radio Network, or simply stay tuned to the station. And I'll see you in a while.
Dr. Awesome - Niagara

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.
- 82.5 MB
- 86 541 687 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.
- 59:59
- 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.
- −11.5 LUFS
- on the loud side
- 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.
- 3.7 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.
- 2.4 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
- 11.2 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.
- −14.8 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.
- −14.2 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.
- 0.64 dB
- right is 0.6 dB louder
- 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.
- −3.8 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.
