Captain - Space Debris [Amiga MOD - Remaster]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лис 2021
- This is a remaster of my 1991 Amiga mod Space Debris. All sounds come directly from the original, but I used some light processing to open the mix a bit. Others have also made amazing and more "remastered" remasters of Space Debris, but I wanted to keep this one fairly close to the original, at least in spirit. Enjoy!
Read the story of Space Debris & download the original mod: markuskaarlonen.com/space-debris

Hey guys, thanks for your amazing comments! To answer a few questions that I saw here and elsewhere, off the top of my head:
- You can download the original mod file here: markuskaarlonen.com/space-debris
- Space Debris is a strictly four channel mod. This remaster probably makes it sound slightly bigger due to some subtle reverb and other processing I added, but it's still the original four channels playing, nothing more.
- For the remaster, I rendered the original channels using OpenMPT with sinc interpolation. This is technically "better" than what the Amiga did, but of course a bit of the original charm might be lost, due to Amiga's resampling and D/A converters etc. adding their own flavour to the sound. It would be super interesting to actually record the mod directly from Amiga's audio outputs... I even have my old Amiga 500 in the closet, just no idea if it still works. :D
I have a question, do I have permission to remix your song? Not only that, may I take the photo of your face and put in my video to show the original artist?
@@TheMuzykant Sure, go ahead! :)
@@MarkusKaarlonenMusic Ah, I actually decided against putting your face cuz i didnt know when you'd reply :/ but anyway, my remix is up on my channel! I want you to see it :D
Good luck remixing it. I've tried a few times. Captain's work was really hard to top. The mod scene was open to continual improvement. If you were going to remix something you had better do a good job. Most of us were amateurs playing with our computer keyboards at the time, and Markus was a real musician and it showed.
Thank you so much! (..please remaster "Beyond Music"..)
30 years later this track still hits hard.
Imagine browsing the _old_ internet to BANGER mod tracks like this in the 1990s...
No need to imagine that. That was youth for many of us. HippoPlayer playing Captain, Jester, Groo, Heatbeat and other guys’ mods on shuffle and browsing & chatting away endless nights on BBS boards. Good times in the 1990’s.
@@ToniKoobsolutely agree. Me and a friend of mine used to scour the CU Amiga magazine cover disks for tracks similar to this. Yes you'd go a couple of months with nothing, then all of a sudden you'd find a banger. That's how I found the original of this.
Still a masterpiece after 30 years! ❤
One of the best music modules ever made! 30 years and still amazing!
i discovered this song on a genesis emulator for ps2 when i was a kid ! this song is simply amazing !
I've always remembered this MOD and recently I played this for my two boys. It's my all-time favorite MOD! EPIC! Still get chills every time I hear it!
YT just recommended this video for me. Still love to listen to those old school MODs; they just don't get old. Some commenters mentioned Beyond Music which is another memorable classic which along with Space Debris made it into the Best Of The Amiga Scene CD. I also like Broken Dreams.
Please, please, PLEASE do this with more Amiga mods. Some Fleshbrain, specifically Neodrink would be amazing. Either way this seems like the definitive way to experience this tune. Amazing! Thank you!
There is nothing more magical than the pure beats of a .mod.
This was the song that inspired me to start making my own MOD music back in the mid 1990s. Such a powerful sound - yet so detailed and carefully arranged. Definitely a MOD I just kept coming back to over and over again back in the day. It was really moving to hear this again.
The original is one of my absolute favourite mods! Thanks for your creation!
Dark Helmet / Spaceballs
This song is in my top 10 of module music! It influenced me so much during the 90s. ♥
This remains the absolute best 4-channel mod I've ever heard. An all time classic. Every time I hear your keyboards in a Poets of the Fall song, I remember that this was the first product of your talent I ever heard. Superb.
First heard this on the demo disk that came with the Gravis Ultrasound sound card..... before the internet!
I discovered this song back in 1994 or something like that, on some random FTP archive. I may have listened to it a 1000 times probably and I always wondered were it came from. While doing some cleanup on my PC recently, I ran into it... Well, nothing more to add. I googled it and... I still love it. MODs... ❤ Like some SID treasures out of an old C64, I believe it will still be in my head in decades
This track is my all time favorite (followed by Second Reality by Purple Motion) and a huge inspiration for me to start making music in the 90s. Just want to say thanks for making it, sharing the remastered version, and for the wonderful high quality spacesynth remix. Wishing you all the best!
still amazes & moves me in 2024
Living in Seattle in 1994, all my college friends were listening to grunge. I was listening to this. It's just as awesome today as it was then!
Still love this song; always have, always will. First heard this song in custom _Unreal Tournament '99_ maps.
Yeah, my fave Amiga Sound Module. Oh man how i adore it. It is so full of energy and a thing that i call Space Synth, the true Space Synth for me.
3:28 Love this part so much !
this is my first and forever favourite electronic tune since a kid. i still remember the impact it made at the time and still today. its EPIC thanks bro for bringuing it out. TOP 1
You made my childhood. I love you.
Still a masterpiece after all that time!
Truly amazing track..Makes me wish I was back with the Amiga group's..Great times, great music demo's.
Thanks you Captain for this, brings back memories from 90's when I listened this by PC. I had this fabulous tune as ring stone few years ago, created mp3 from mod file(dont remember where I downloaded it). Still when I play this tune, time to time I check my phone, if it is ringing.
Best version so far. The other remixes have been good but somehow not in the spirit of the original. This brings back all the memories.
Best Amiga tune hands down.
Tää on niin täydellistä
OMG I've found it back finally 😭
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !
one of my favorite mods ever
PS2 REINAAAAA
Você parece ser o único que lembra do ps2 nesses comentários

Oh man, haven't heard this in like 25 years. Still know every note. Wow, hit hard right in the gut
One of my favorite tracks from 1991. Played on my AT-80286 PC back then using a digital-to-analog circuit (built on a breadboard) that output through the centronics parallel printer port & then through the D/A which then went through 2 stereo audio amp I.C.'s out to 2 speakers laid on top of 2 empty Quaker Oats cylindrical containers as the speaker cabinets. This was obviously because addon sound cards were still in their infancy, somewhat new & expensive back then. I think I still have that breadboard still populated, more or less, with the same circuit, after all these 3 decades. I even made a copy of Space Debris but with a couple of sample changes with the lead synths, but that was about it. Anyway, I also still have my Commodore 64 systems, but they are in storage at the moment. Thank you Captain for your music. :)
Markus, great thanks for this wonderful, perfect mod, best of the best. More than 30 years of enjoying it on A500, PCs, home HiFi and car audio. My two young daughters also like it very much, both "classic" and spacesynth version. You gave extraordinary gift to the world!
Man this brings memories. ....
Hey Captain ! Thank you for giving us so much energy :)
I was 6 years old when this was first released, boy am I glad I ended up finding it eventually.
NO WAY, YOU WERE THE GUY WHO MADE THIS!? This is one of the best songs ever made, and perfectly encapsulates this era of music/MPT music in a nutshell!
After all of the years and different tunes - this is the one I come back for. Perfection.
I just wanted to say, thank you for inspiring me to make music of my own. I listened to this and Beyond Music, and a handful of other MODs when I was a kid back in the early 1990s. Your music sounds just as amazing today as it did 30 years ago! Again, thanks so much!
Yeah! Finally!!! Amiga Times ruled... And i liked the MODs and their ispiration for other People. Nice That you came in with a refreshed version of your own title "Space Debris". One of my Faves....
I don't know the track but still get nostalgia vibes. Came here from Ahoy's video and I'm glad I did because this so cool to hear now that I know how much work went in to it. Thanks for the upload
One of my favorite mod files!
The Amiga was such an amazing system, I still own a few of them, technology has moved on but for what they could do at the time they were years ahead of the competition and I truely believe without the Amiga other platforms would not have made the efforts they did to match and ultimately surpass it.
what a fucking masterpiece
Was so weird finding out you played for Poets years ago and heading to a gig a bit after :D Been a fan ever since I heard this one back when it was released.
best amiga mod ever
This and Beyond Music are two of the greatest Amiga mods of all time. Bravo!
Hi Markus, if you happen to read this it's just to say I think Space Debris is the ultimate spacesynth track of all time!!!!!!!🎹🎹🎹🎵🎶🎚🎚😊👍👍👍
Mark in uk
This is such a marvellous tune! I first heard _Space Debris_ in an Amstrad CPC demo called _Digital Orgasm_ and I was mesmerised by it - and the demo itself was beautiful as well! It was only about 25 years later that I discovered that it was in fact an Amiga tune and I learnt its name.
Such a classic.
This is awesome! I also used to track mods, though I didn't start until the late 90's, using FastTracker 2 on PC (running under DOS at the time). There were still limitations even then, but nothing compared to the limitations you had to work with on the Amiga, and Space Debris blows all the mods I ever did out of the water, even though I had a lot more channels to work with, longer samples, and better bitrates. 😂😅 I didn't recognize this song from my mod days (I also went back in my old mod collection to see if I had downloaded it at some point, but it doesn't look like I ever came across it), but I'd love to hear the other mods you released from back then, and maybe even discover that I have one of them tucked away on an old floppy somewhere. 💜
If your tracks were ever distributed, or if you hung out in the IRC tracker channels back in the days, there is a good chance I have copies. I have a pretty large archive that spans 30+ years. As for Captain's other amazing tracks, one sticks in my mind - Mickus.s3m.
Onhan tää tosi Rock. Iätön piisi. Itsekin MOD-hemmona ollut kasari-aikoina. Amazing masterpiece Mr. Captain! ;)
Now this is the best Remaster! I was hoping that eventually someone would do a remaster and keep it relatively close to the original, but just make it sound cleaner and more wide. I just didn't expect that Captain himself would actually do it. 😀
this is the tune that made me believe.. (amiga) :)
Legend! And thanks for the interesting write-up!
I'm amazed. I've heard this before but I have absolutely no idea where, specially considering I wasn't in the mod scene back then.
If the Amiga 500 had an anthem🎵, it could be this track. I love it ❤
Masterpiece
Thank you! This was a great part of my childhood. Would love to see the same treatment to Beyond Music as well!
This and Echoing are probably the two most famous Amiga MOD's ever.
Guitar Slinger as well.
Stardust Memories is awesome@@adamantiteB
i love to listen to more music from you if possible. many thanks
I've never owned an Amiga, the names don't ring a bell, but i've heard this track before!
It's an awesome tune and it's fascinating to read the (short) story behind it.
I hope for nothing more, that life gave you the success you deserved. MODs were the soundtrack of my childhood. The Demoscene provided the entertainment. While my peers scrambled to gather huge collections of CDs, I enjoyed the amazing talent on display, produced from the limited resources you had. Better yet, most MODs did not include words. The tunes alone were breathtaking. Thank you.
Thank you for your breathtaking original !
Thanks. Best music mod.
This track is awesome! :D
One of the nicest mod pieces out there. In top-20 for me to be sure, although obviously there are so many.
If only I could find my detached harddrive somewhere. It'd contain pretty much the top-100.
My own work never rose to such a level; the classical mod format is *extremely* hard to work with. I only did anything interesting with FT2 and Buzz, and even those certainly don't rise to this level in melodic and harmonical control.
Beautiful
Awesome ! still a masterpiece
Hey Markus! Apparently you and I had the same idea only a few weeks apart. I also did a redo/reengineer/remaster of Space Debris. My redo is possibly a little more involved, but still uses all the original sounds from the original ProTracker(?) 4-channel SPACE.MOD file. I used OpenMPT to export separate tracks 'per instrument' at 48KHz 32bit FP and then laid all the tracks into REAPER and remixed it with a light dusting of reverb and/or delay on instruments that I felt would benefit from it. The 48KHz 32bit FP WAV file was then mastered in iZotope Ozone and dithered to 48KHz 16bit. I originally remixed this track back in March of 2016 and sent that to you. Not sure if you remember (and you'd be forgiven if you didn't). I'll shoot you a message on your website to see about getting this more recent remix update to you. Next up - Beyond Music (BEYOND.MOD)! Holiday Blessings to you, your family and the whole POTF gang!
MODS revolutionized computer music of the time, and allowed the creativity of folks like Markus to explore their creativity. I went down the MIDI path myself with computerized music, but had collected hundreds of MOD files in the late 80s- early 90s. Space Debris was one of my favorites (along with Phantasmagoria), and I'm so happy to see that not only has it been remastered, but Markus is getting the praise he deserves for his work. Congrats, and I certainly hope you're still composing!
And Phenomena Enigma and Space Maiden.
Used to listen to this decently much back in the day. On a PC though, using a self-built Covox at first and a GUS later.
Hi Markus - this track opened a new world to me -- I played this tune hundreds of times, and picked your module apart and learned from how you used your samples -- every single time I use wavetable synths to this day I think of your module. I owe you a lot man. Much love.
Да, я очень хорошо помню!!! (Yes, I remember very well !!!). It's cool to hear it again in excellent quality. Amiga!!!!!!
Thank you for this! I can only echo what others have said: this is a masterpiece and it's just as good as it was in 1991. Absolutely brilliant.
Thank you for this unforgettable music Markus Captain! I'm not sure if you know, but your song is pretty popular in Brazil, because it was used in a Mega Drive emulator for PlaysStation2 that a lot of people have played in their childhood or adolescence.
Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know, and you are welcome 😊
good old PGEN

The one with the Sonic background, damn good times. I’m from Argentina and I even know it from there 😂

This song is so epic, that it still rocks after all these years, awesome job. I read the story about the song on your homepage, thanks for all the memories.
I first found this song on the Gravis Ultrasound Experience CD.
PGEN, nostalgia.
This music makes me imagine a space cowboy with a rocket horse and laser beam revolver
This sounds fantastic!
I still play the original module occasionaly on my real Amigas
The G.O.A.T 💾💎
Just found this…sounds really cool, the story behind it(although made little sense to me) truly appreciate!!
Awesome tune!
This is the one we needed bro, thanks for this!
So awesome to hear this, remastered from you! Beyond Music was the one I heard first and that got me into modding, I could listen to that just over and over and wanted to be able to make something similar. Never got anywhere close ofcourse, but listening to it kept me motivated to keep on trying. Still having fun making synth music now, partly thanks to you :-) Would be awesome to have a remaster of Beyond Music as well :-)
I remember DLing this after seeing it at the top chart at modarchive.
Good job, Markus excellent masterpiece...and the anime video highway to stars...awesome!!!
This is great
Still amazing! :D
I got used to hearing this with some of the samples missing because my Gravis Ultrasound only had 256KB of RAM installed...
