Best amiga mods

[Hyperspeed]

'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.

:laughing:

I used "12th Warrior" on my webpage's second incarnation (via ModPlug) before I redesigned it.  12th Warrior was always one of my faves.  Others off the top of my head are;

mod.crystalhammer (from the game)
mod.amegas (from the game)
mod.trainbeat (from the Rebels demo of the same name)
mod.abnormal (aka Wild Bunch from a Crionics demo)
mod.1989_a_number
mod.echoing
mod.speed-e-boy (From Jaguar XJ220)
mod.insektinsekt
mod.leave_the_brain (from Paradox's "Drunk Desert Demo")
mod.equa-1

They're all really old mods, I think I have them on 15 different mod CDs I've collected over the years.

I'd have to say for MODs the best Amiga player is still HippoPlayer!

Nothing's changed then in quite some years :-) I have always used Hippoplayer, until I sold my last Amiga in 2001, but it could happen that a new player has been coming along.
For my Windows machine, I usually use Winamp, but some mods are not played correctly. I guess I'll have to start using Hippoplayer again then...

Here's HippoPlayer:

[LoadWB]

I personally like EdPlayer.  It works well with all sorts of MODs and MEDs, and lets me change between NTSC and PAL mode.  It also has a scriptable interface via an ARexx port.

I'm running v2.1, and it's been impossible to find a newer version.

[Hyperspeed]

I never understood what the difference was between the terms MED and MOD...

Anyone?

:-)

[billchase]

MED and MOD are two different formats.  Unfortunately I can't
name specific differences.  Here is a mod I highly recommend:

This one of the few mods that made my jaw drop back in in day.
Don't waste your time if you are using crappy speakers.

MED is a variant of the ProTracker .MOD format.  MED can import MOD files but supports a few features that Protracker doesn't:  variable block sizes, a few extra commands, MIDI, etc.

If you love "Space Debris" music mod, i recommend also this:

http://dk.aminet.net/mods/pop/BeyondMusic.lha

It calls "Beyond Music" and it's composed by Captain, same as "Space Debris"

I love that 2 tunes!  :-)

[Piru]

Ah, Captain.

He's playing in Poets of the Fall these days.

The amiga tracking scene was his point of departure. That song "Beyond Music" has won the Gathering Music Compo in Finland.

A curious question: why the Scandinavia was the most "hitted" by the demoscene? :-?

For the PC, nobody mentioned the great deliplayer !

http://www.deliplayer.com/

From the guys that made the Amiga Delitracker.

I must say the sound quality sounds really like on the Amiga (Winamp really sucks, the sound seems low-pass filtered on 90% of the mods).

I never tried any other PC player mentioned here, but I give Deliplayer five stars! It supports A LOT of more module formats than the mod, even exoteric formats like the Turrican music and the common MP3, of course.

The lastest version interface sucks... I stick to the 1.3 (no longer available?)

But take my word and try Deliplayer and judge it's sound quality. I wount' be regretted.

Ja, I remember when I first heard 1989_a_number. What a mod that is!
12th warrior is also one of my favourites.
But I would have to say the one I played the most was Street Jungle. I don't remember who did that, but it is very good.

[pVC]

Moby rules Cortouchka, KnullaKuk, Livin' Insanity...

Btw. UADE (Unix Amiga Delitracker Emulator) is nice multiplatform mod player. Supports LOTS of different Amiga music formats.
