i only want to explore a little and find some new music (to me and my ears) :-)

what is the your top 10 in the amiga mod scene?

i can't wrote my own top10 couse i don'w know about it....

[mr_a500]

"Best Amiga mods" really depends on what kind of music you like. I've downloaded many "Top 10" mods only to be disappointed because they were rap or guitar crap.

My favourite (non-game) mods are:

BubbleDreams
Desert Dream (mod 2)
Desert Dream (mod 1 - edited)
Lethal Exit
Das Boot
Flowing Sky (edited)

... and bits and pieces of mods from other demos (where I only like one or two blocks from the mod). If I add game mods (mod format only), I'd add:

Lotus 2 Title (edited)
Beast 2 Title
Beast 2 (starting level)
Beast 3 (esp. level 3)
Agony Intro (and level intros)
The Settlers
Stardust Title
Zool 2 (starting level)
Fantastic Voyage (edited)


(of course there are lots more awesome game music, but they're not in mod format)

Hi Neuroflip,

Have a look at THIS ebay auction. Its a CD of hundreds of MOD files I have it and its got alot of good MOD music files. You would need to search though it but its one of the best I have found.

[McVenco]

I've always like the mods by Jogeir Liljedahl en Dr. Awesome (aka Bjorn Lynne).

Besides that, I liked the music from the Spaceballs demos, Jesus on E's and quite a lot of games.

As soon as I have installed my 4.3GB harddrive which arrives tommorow, I'm going to download quite a lot from Aminet again...

Speaking of which, what is a good .mod player nowadays?

Speaking of which, what is a good .mod player nowadays?

the easyest way have to be winamp for windows that is (amiga side i always did stick with hippo player.) some people say winamp skipps frames on mods and xm files but i can not agree too this statement..

*edit* if you like too use a ft2\octamed style program for playback check out skale.org and get the free skale tracker, personally i think it looks so cool when playback in tracker apps with all the fancy functions and all ..

--off topic--
Skale Tracker works only on Windows and Intel Linux.

BTW: Modplug Tracker works pretty good on the PC. It lacks some of the eye candy of Skale but it supports more file formats.

[Opus]

I'd have to say for MODs the best Amiga player is still HippoPlayer!
greatest MODs? sad to say I had a collection of over 300 of what I considered the best MODs and I lost them all =(
I am rebuilding my collection slowly, but to name a few:

analyzer
beneath
drumride
echoing
gslinger
notlh
rainy (december and september)
sweetfree
zenith

Some very good mods, in no particular order:

mod.abiturientti (from Closer/Carillon Cyberiad demo, tp95 winner, not everyone likes this one by Groo, but imo it rocks)
mod.desert dream-titel (== mod.checknobankh) (from Desert Dream / Kefrens demo, tg93 winner, laxity classic)
mod.desert dream-end (from Desert Dream / Kefrens demo, tg93 winner, laxity classic)
mod.cream of the earth (Cebit Demo 90 / TCC Design,Red Sector Inc, Romeo Knight rocks)
mod.livin' insanity (from ARTE / Sanity demo, tp93 3rd, moby rules)
mod.knullakuk (from Substance / Quartex & Alliance design demo, moby rules even more!)
mod.trip to mars (from Diznee Land #2/ Abyss, chip goodness by Meo)
mod.sleeping waste (from some pc demo, some serious chip goodness, again by Meo)
mod.gatecrashing-4 (from Comadose / Passion, more chip goodness, this one from Subject)
mod.we're the devils (used in various demos. Very nice one from Walkman)
mod.switchback [main] (from Switchback / Rebels demo, Doom's Day Party 1994 winner)

Okay that's 11, sorry about that. I could list dozens more, easily... :-)

I'm using UADE to play mods these days (on Pegasos II).

I didn't specify a kind of music because i like all kinds. i think that all kind have his special moment and i don't want to loose the chance of ear a gread mod cause it's hardcore or some other kind... srry my english is poor. lol

i'll write my top10 of yours top10.


Thx because sure that some mod will surprise me... a lot!

[Stevo]

Come to think of it, I just have to name one mod in specific: mod.Sequential_Main2 by Mr. Man, the main theme from Sequential/Andromeda.

'Million Miles' by Oops is a good one!

:-D

The samples were taken from an early 90's dance tune called 'Million Miles from Home' by a group called Dune. The album was 'Expedicion'.

The video for the tune featured a woman being rescued in space by a guy hanging from a weird 50's hot air balloon.
