AboutAll tracked tunes has instrument list, used to name the samples. These are often used to instead write comments and greeting by the artist and some are quite creative and sometimes insane. DJ Daemon reads some of the instrument lists and comments on ModArchive and discusses them briefly. This puts an extra dimension to the tracked tunes. Maybe not the most legendary comments ever made, but some a quite interesting and amusing.Here is the file talked about in the episode:https://ericade.radio/files/true_devotion_ii club_trance_rearrangement.mod

📝 Transcript
Erik Zalitis 00:01.304

Time for another episode of Flashback! Today I'm a little bit too tired to do all this cool storytelling and stuff, but we got lots of new music and I'm gonna talk a little bit about The Tunes, reading from the instrument list, which is fun and sometimes insane.

Erik Zalitis 04:26.222

So let's go to Modarchive and check the comments for this one. The instrument list does not contain anything else than instruments. So the comments. In 2020 Janko Weber wrote a comment. He rated the tune 7 out of 10. He thinks, well sorry for the grammar here, but I think this is a too much experimental project file.I made a very simple cut down club trance rearrangement. I gonna give you a link in the description later. You can listen to that if you want to. Edkd, he wrote in 2020 in february, rating the song 9 out of 10. Very nice. This tune is by Alpa Alvin Sain. It's beautiful and simple and completely old school.

Erik Zalitis 08:58.286

Malmen of Brainstorm, Devotion Shuttle, and that was a classic Fasttracker module. Not much to say there. In the instrumentalist he notes it's a chiptune plus plus tune for Birdie whoever that is. Well, nice.

Erik Zalitis 14:09.672

Dr. Jacko, General Chaos. That's some impulse tracker goodness right there. And the comments? Dash PC writes in December 2019 while giving the song 9 out of 10. Another cool song to be featured for an everlasting period of time.Sirius also in December 2019 and rating the song 10 out of 10. He writes, this is a bestiality. What? An awesome job. Now, if you create something and the comment says it's bestiality and likes it, that is... I don't know. Was that an insult or was it compliment? I cannot say.

Erik Zalitis 17:44.43

A sow and the song is called Randolph Fox Elk. The instrument list reads like written by a madman. Here it is. What would you say to a Toyota 87? I thought so too. A sow of tractor come to grep. If we manage to scrounge up a hole to keep it in, if not, you're still welcome. I'm a lumberjack and don't you come back no more, no more, no more.Is he selling or receiving the car? I don't really get this one. Also, what has Monty Python and Hitter Road Jack to do with anything?

Erik Zalitis 20:18.12

Yes, that's a classic 4 track Amiga module. It's signed by Filippetto of Sinit, called Stormy and Clever. He sends his thanks to Tip, MTX, Nuke, Moby, me, himself, and other unknown guys. This song is called Stormy and Clever, simply because it's Stormy and Clever. Well, that was not very clever, right?

Erik Zalitis 24:02.83

reason by Firelight and I'm happy to declare it's another Amiga four track module. Most tunes coming in right now they are either a fast tracker or impulse tracker but it's good to see the Amiga on the block again so to speak and the instrument list well he greets Ryan of Griff for taking some of these excellent samples yes they are great it says GusPatches and guss is Gravis Ultrasound if you didn't know. And you think that you are one of the best out there. Signed Firelight in 1994.

Erik Zalitis 27:31.758

Mechanical Energy by Galgox. It was written in 2019 for a demo party and got second out of fifth place. That is what Galgox writes in the instrumentalist. And he says and use no interpolation. Well, I'm sorry, too late.

Erik Zalitis 29:50.168

Galgoks gets another chance here on the station. It's Ferry Crusaders 3. A wild ship entry for Wintership 15 at the Battle of the Bits, Lyceum competition, or what you should call it. A traditional annual battle held every year for noobs all over the world. To take a part in. No interpolation by the way.Yeah, yeah, yeah, you said that and I still... Sorry, my script does that.

Erik Zalitis 33:36.152

J-Cool and a twinkle. We're back to impulse tracker modules. This one it was composed by J-Cool as I said and it was done for assembly 99. Yes, actually a bit of a story here. You were maybe asking why I was talking about interpolation. That's simply a thing that modern systems do which means when you overlap sounds from different channels, you don't get that nasty click.That can happen with Amiga modules because the Polar, Amiga chip didn't support this and you can turn it on in a conversion program such as I'm doing and he didn't want me to do it I did it anyway because I don't like how this sounds when you can push the volume up. So well,

that's the explanation I guessErik Zalitis 38:05.982

I'm a bit of a fan of old comics, so it brings me a big smile on my face that the song is called Hobbs Adventure. It's by KO0X, and he writes in the instrumentalist, Hey, made a song for Shiptunes win volume 4 and it ended up on the compilation. And then a heart. Tracked with open modplug tracker, mastered by DJ Cutman.Not the module of course. Okay, great.

Erik Zalitis 41:17.518

IPI and Deinterlacing. It's done on Impulse Tracker and was released on the 5th of May 2020 and it was released for Spring Tracks 9 in the 64k S3x modded category. He also makes a bit of a plug but hey we can join that. He created it live on stream for TwitchTV slash IPI Dev. Thanks.to all that came to listen and help. Seems I still have some room for more messages. Shame I don't have anything else to say. Yeah, I know that pain.

Erik Zalitis 44:27.854

Back to Fast Tracker, that was Mistra with Chop Suey, and in the instrument list he writes, finished in June 27 as a contribution to the big Chipcampo 8, sampled by Radix or Saror I think. The name of Mistra is obviously Kjell Pedersen.

Erik Zalitis 47:25.518

Beautiful tune, K. Jose, Spanish artist with the song Enemy Forces Version 2. And he writes the following in the instrument list. An orchestral remake of my previous track, Enemy Forces, transposed to G. Contains high quality samples, some of which are stereo. Position 18 contains quad surround version.best heard in OpenMPT with quad speakers, I don't have that, or with virtual surround turned on. Ok, and position 36 contains an arrangement of the same song designed around Super Nintendo Entertainment Systems sound hardware specifications. Ho, also attempted to simulate Super Nintendo echo reverb. Cool!

Erik Zalitis 52:15.822

Serious and Radiomorphosis. was released in 2020 and created in OpenMPT. He writes, This time I focused more on the sound and looked for an experimentation, moving from something dark to something brighter, and bright it is indeed.

Erik Zalitis 57:22.542

was Mellow D with Pilot, and I'm sorry I cannot read the instrument list here. It is not sane for human consumption, makes a lot of references to nasty stuff and seems to be totally unhinged. Well, that was fun. We are going on with the last tune for today. Thanks for listening, this is DJ Demon here checking out. Well, not mentally, but at least I will go home now. Next week, a new episode. And...We are ending with Mollman and Tomorrowland.
