Title: Searching '90s rave nostalgia
Post by: LigH on July 20, 2010, 12:58:44
Greetings.

Is there anyone who has archived even modules from the DOS era? I'm looking for a lot of tracks I only have on cassettes but don't even own a cassette player anymore...  :-[

Source might have been e.g. the "MEDiA BBS", Germany, Hamburg (+49-40...)

(Internet) Members of Mayday
• Infra
• Spike
• Starfox

Unknown authors

Chances are possibly low (your IRC people dated them "before the scene"), but I still hope for a few hints from you, maybe even links.

I guess this won't be of much help, but I have also been searching for another Ratzeburg track by Infra some time ago and I still haven't found it. This might be a very tough case...

I remember that the Ratzeburg theme was used again in other tracks by Infra (what he was nicked about), possibly in "The Summertime Rave" and "Ratzeburg Trance ][" too.

I still have several tracks from Infra and Starfox (http://www.ligh.de/tmp/MoM_INF_STA.7z) (but Spike's were withdrawn from Starfox' website once, IIRC). See if you can use them.

Have you tried looking on?

ftp://modland.com or http://amp.dascene.net/home.php

Although most of the mods you are looking for aren't on these 2 sites, a few are! (Starfox tunes). I have the same as basically whats on both sites. Strange that the Infra & Spike ones are missing too.

AMP allows searches on artist name or modnames which should get 2 or 3 you are missing from Starfox.  Modland slightly different, you need to look through the artists folders for fasttracker 2/screamtracker/protracker folders etc.

Cant really help with the Unknown Authors ones either, except

Cubik, is that the artist or a mod?  I have a mod from 1991 by Anodyne called 808 State - Cubik.mod

Trance Now!.s3m - I have. Says its by Duke/TC 1994. For some reason I have this down as Bay Tremore. dunno why?

Celebration quite a popular name for a module lol

Outside Worlds Remix is quite a popular one too, have a few versions of this.

Any idea what tracker format these are in, for the unknown authors ones?

No idea about the others.....

There is a s3m called The Underground Beckons by Hypnotic Melody on Modland in the Screamtracker 3 folder under his artist name.

There are various mods called Push the Feeling On, all in the protracker folder under various artists.
MSK
Lowmem
Reflect
Trancematic

No idea if any are the version your looking for.

Thank you for your good hints. (I must have forgotten to activate automatic notifications...)

Definitely "Bingo" for:

Possibly one of them will match for:
As already mentioned, I have them only on music cassette today, so no idea about the individual file types. Yould be several (S3M / XM / MTM / MOD).

Searching further...

Necrobump, but I've registered just to say I've got probably all the old Infra and Starfox stuff mentioned. Need to find out the best way of uploading it quickly though

MediaFire will offer you a few GB for free.

Do note that infra (http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_artist_modules&query=84120) has signed up on TMA since this thread has been posted, so in case any of the songs you want are still missing, you can try contacting him through the shoutwall on his profile.

Zombies never really die...

I was able to partially restore a very old harddisk where I found an archive, and I could read at least some description files.

Some of the missing modules were made by Alexander Koch (Falter / Liquid Cage · PFM · FCORave).

In the meantime I discovered the "Nectarine" scene music web radio (they also have a Discord server) and other Amiga demo scene music archives. I'll keep digging...
