I had totally forgotten about this track! Haven't heard it in about 20 years. This too was one of my favourites. Would love to hear someone have a crack at this and update it.
Your wish is my command... no, not really... :) But on a serious note though, enjoy my refurbished mix! www.amigaremix.com/files/3104/Strange_Days_-_Atom_Demo_IV_Soundtrack_Strange_Days_2017_Refurbish.mp3
Nope not really. Haven't remixed anything from the Amiga or C64 before, but will probably do some more stuff if or when I have some time left over to spare and if I find something interesting to remix/refurbish. :)
You can download it from Pex Tufvesson's website. Click "Download" and scroll down to the section titled "Mahoney's Amiga Music" and download the file listed in the second line down dated 2016. The module you want is called Defroster and yes, it's an awesome tune :) livet.se/mahoney/
Thanks for the reply, but I totally missed this. I did however find it hee: janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=34656 Excellent website for finding amiga resources and locating tunes.
Where is the original song from Atom Demo IV (Part 7: 26:43) made by Uncle Tom? I can't find it on UA-cam any more. The sound is much better coz it's recorded directly from HQ synthesizer.
Kent Dinesen No problem. It should just be on Modarchive. never heard of a HQ version though, just regular 8-bit samples modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=121156
Here's a reworking of this track by Stefan Nyberg: www.amigaremix.com/files/3104/Strange_Days_-_Atom_Demo_IV_Soundtrack_Strange_Days_2017_Refurbish.mp3 And here's the original mod file: janeway.exotica.org.uk/release.php?id=35922 Enjoy! :D
When I think of the Amiga Demoscene, I think of everything that came from around 1991 onwards, and certainly not this stuff. It was only later on that demos started to use imagination and design, but these primitive demos are all the same and only try to one-up each other.
Evolutionary speaking, I guess you cannot think one without the other. For my part, instead of some Phenomena, Sanity or Haujobb masterpieces from that time you are refering to, I could rather meditate for hours to a repetitive good old Bamiga Sector One CrackIntro from 1988 with the humble sounds of Carsten Obarski music and miles of friendly scrolling text. The production of text was also very cool for me at that time. The same goes for the early Megademos, with roughly chopped sampling from the Samplebanks, which were included on the backs of maxi records by Hithouse, Okay and Simon Harris at the time. The mixing of techno, metal, hip hop, new wave and silly songs is still a great crossover when demomakers were more interested in dancing bobs, experimental equalizer effects and endless scroll fields and not so seriously interested in the dramaturgical appearance of their technical skills. In this respect, is this upload pure fire (esp. the soundtrack at 37:37 i could hear all day). Btw. @RetroDemoScene Thanks for all these great uploads of ephemeral digital productions of the Amiga Cracker and Demo Scene that has been stucked in my mind forever.
@@HelloMyNameIsGoodbye Totally agree. One must also not forget that it took quite a few years to gain experience in learning and utilizing the Amiga's capabilities to the most extend. This is why the early demos, stylistically, are more aligned to what has been done on the C64 at the same time. But "utilizing the Amiga" doesn't necessarily imply how to write great 68k or blitter code, but to utilize the artistic potential in the machine. In that sense, the Amiga is truly the first home computer which provided creative playground to fuse artistic with technical skills. This peaked at around the 1991-1993 era. And, at least that is the way how I see it, the Amiga approach was also "reverse applied" to other platforms, like the Commodore 64 and PC.
I disagree. You could also tell the same about the 1991+ demos: polygons and 3d shows all the time, only trying to one-up each other with another "record". You stand on the shoulders of giants. These guys here did the discovery others later on worked from. Better tools, better algorithm. I like both worlds. The visually not so appealing 80th and the partly stunning 90th.

I‘m lucky to have watched this endless times on my A500 back then. Such cool times never come back.
Golden oldie. Copper bars never gets old and you can't have too many of them ;-)
15:10 Absolutely stunning layers effects :O
Popcorn at 57:20 never gets old. Great work.
The Mahoney & Kaktus parts/tunes on this are so funny, brings back memories :')
Die guten alten Zeiten...

You know what dude, that's not bad. I really like some of the elements used in the track. You remixed much else from the the Amiga?
Nope not really. Haven't remixed anything from the Amiga or C64 before, but will probably do some more stuff if or when I have some time left over to spare and if I find something interesting to remix/refurbish. :)
One of the best Longplayers
Popcorn, jarre covers (around 1hour) and Mahoney & kaktus :)
Thank you for the video...
I need someone to Action Replay the music for Part 10 AKA Flummy. Can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help out amd track down the .mod?

45:28 - What is the title of this module ?
