I like this one; so fun than the original. And thank you to know me the original artist and the year: there's no information about it in the track.

"Wir Happy Hippos"

Original Tracker: CCB
Original Format: 4-channel MOD from 1992
Remixed, remastered, and revamped by Novus in 2001.
December 2nd, 2001, to be precise. ;)



Greetz, y'all!

I know I said the same thing in the Song Message for "Beacon" two years
ago, but geez, it's been WAY too long since I released my last tune. Does
this mean I'm back? Darned if I know... no promises this time.

All of you 1337 0ldsk00lers out there oughta recognize this blast from the
past: "Wir Happy Hippos," also known as "fanta2.mod". Back when I was
still just downloading 4-channel MODs from dial-in BBSs and was blissfully
unaware of S3Ms, XMs, and ITs, "Wir Happy Hippos" was one of my favorite
tracks to listen to. But as I got more into the more advanced tracker
formats, I gradually lost or deleted much of my personal MOD collection.
The old 4-voicers sounded downright obsolete next to the shiny, happy S3Ms
with, *gasp*, THIRTY-TWO TRACKS! And since I had limited space on Dad's
hard drive at the time, the 4-channel MODs were the first to go.

I don't know what I was smokin' when I deleted "Wir Happy Hippos," but
I've regretted it for some time. So when I stumbled across it over on The
MOD Archive (http://www.modarchive.com), I snatched it up.

And that's when it hit me: this tune was just too dang catchy to leave
chained up in 4 channels with 0ldsk00l 8-bit chord samples. So, I left the
synth hook alone (hey, how could I really improve on it?), replaced the
drum loops, invented a new bassline, and attacked the tune with my
favorite piano sample.

The results are a bit simplistic, but hey, that's the point with this
tune. If you want something dynamic and complex, go listen to Warder or
Leviathan or something. Otherwise, just sit back and feel the groove, and
you'll be a happy hippo too before ya know it.

If ya feel like it, stop by at http://www.novusmusic.org for all of my
other tunes, not to mention mind-blowingly awesome music from other
trackers and my collection of Tracking Tips. Oh, and keep bugging me at
vince_young_hotmail.com, and I might actually get off my lazy butt and
release new trackage more often. Or not. You know, real life and all that.

                  Keep it real!
                  Vince "Novus" Young
