STATE OF THE ART (state_of_the_art.mod)

Strictly speaking, it's an Atari ST mod. At least that's the machine I wrote it on. It's not got anything to do with the Amiga mod of the same name that I was totally unaware of at the time though, other than the file format

Yeah, the samples are a bit cack. Still, most of the stuff from the 8-bit 8 kHz era is. There should be a version with proper 16-bit instruments knocking about though, so I might see if I can find that and post it up sometime.

As for the tune, I don't think it's that bad, especially as it was only the third mod I'd ever written; just a basic I IV V chord progression and a bit of noodling. Ah well, baby steps...

Although this IS an Amiga MOD, it is NOT the killer soundtrack to the Spaceballs "Start of The Art" demo. Instead, this one features decent rhythms but is held back by dreadful-sounding keyboards and is generally just uninspired.
