The limitations of the Amiga caused an explosion of genius among its music composers, who were forced to think up ever more ingenious ways to use those four channels to the maximum. The result was a counterpointed style that bears some comparison to the Baroque era - a truly sophisticated use of multiple interweaving melodies and rhythms. Golden age!

Chris Hülsbeck as also the Composers of TRISTAR and RED SECTOR were geniuses what that belongs. The Amiga as a System had so many instant recognizeable tracks just because of their quality (thanks PAULA). And most of them still give me teary eyes. What especially Hülsbeck did with his Soundengine is Brainblowing - just silence one Stereo Canal in his original AMIGA compositions (most known: Apydia and Turrican Series) and you get what i mean with it :D

I honestly don't think 'wormsign', with actual instruments, would be out of place in the new movies. Amazing music then and now.

Only tracks ive missing here is the intro of XENON 2 MEGABLAST as also for sure... Shadow of t he Beast Intro :D As a Kid i was so blown away by that - even can remember i recorded this tracks to tape There will be never a Paula again :( I really miss this "non clownworld" times alot

And of course it starts with Turrican 2 Main Theme :D P.S. 55:13 is NOT T2: Final Fight, that tune played there is called "Mr. Walker and his Factory". "Final Fight" IS the correct title of the Intro tune.

And this sounds way better than all the synthwave shit we got now :(

Because this music was an attempt to push the limits to the max, an attempt to write future music. Nowadays lots of synthwave composers are trying to write music of the past. This is the reason why modern synthwave is often garbage.

This is a really good mix!

That's the other way around, since Crystal Hammer was released in 1988 for Amiga.

They sound similar because they used the same instruments like 'monobass', 'pizza' etc. that were available with it and grouped in disks named ST-.

You want a ‘tracker’ application. The Amiga sound chip was just a digital sample player, so anything that can mix digital samples can compose and play ‘mod’ files.

I can't stand that the drum section is mixed to one side only in the first song. Same reason many songs from the 1960s are impossible to listen to, IMO, when they have an entirement bass line or drums on one side.

@StCreed

Жыл бұрын

The reason is because the Amiga has 4 channels and they're tied to the left and right speakers (two each). So if you have a single drumtrack it will be on one speaker. If you want it to be on both, you either need a lot of work to integrate the drums in both tracks, or use 2 our of 4 tracks for drums.
