This is probably one of the best tunes I've listened to...
What @Frodelius said. We owe you, Karsten. This song, as well as Crystal Hammer, are songs that take me right back to the first Soundtracker songs and the good old ST-01: samples.
A mega super thank you to Karsten Obarski for everything he has done for the tracker community! We owe you, Sir.
It was composed by Karsten Obarski:

It's the main music of the game called 'Amegas' by DigiTek & Reline, it's from 12/87.
One of the first intros I saw when I bought my first A500, KS 1.2 back in 1987. I don't remember what game was introducing but it was certainly beautiful RED SECTOR red fonts ;) Was very happy migrating from the Amstrad CPC 6128!
It is told that this is the first module ever written on the Amiga, so it's probably a real treasure.
Therefore, it uses the old and infamous ST samples which are really overused. Although no effects are used in this tune, it sounds every pretty good for a "first tune" and I begin to like it - But the samples still suck! :-P
This is an average sounding tune. While not brilliant on style and tracking, there are some quality rythms in this tune which help give it some redemption. The tune content sounds fairly original, which is a plus, and there are some good beats in the tune. The samples are well chosen for this tune. Unfortunately they do not appear to have been cut or processed in anyway. The looping bass synth playing in the background does not loop perfectly and soon becomes irritating. Also, the leads have not been constructed as well as could be expected, however this tune is original and does not really sound too bad (computer game music maybe?). Approx Time 4:21.

Timeless and brings back memories.
Tune comes from the game "AMEGAS" as far as I know and was composed by K. Obarski using (his own) tracker.
Has been first and THE first.
I'm still listen to this module even after more than (almost) 40 years. It dates back to 1987 to my knowledge.
