every time you bring up the KLF i think about .MOD files because the first .MOD i ever downloaded, before I'd ever downloaded an mp3 or an mp2, was a rendition of Doctorin' the Tardis.

Going through the Mod Archive is a pretty fun time. They start to blur together a bit after listening to a few thousand of them but there's some neat songs in there. Offhand some of the ones I've thought were neat were this one and this one and this one

Oh man this sent me down a memory spiral. I remember playing some game, I forget if it was shareware or what, but it was like a first person dungeon crawler, where the battles were arrow-based rhythm mini games which tied to like an automatic battle that changed depending on how good you were at the rhythm game.

I remember this game used MOD files, specifically a ton ripped from other games (like Aquatic Ambience from DKC), and looking up how to use trackers to make your own MOD music. Can't freakin' find anything about it now though.

This is super cool, I'll totally mirror the content of the torrents Just In Case but it seems like they've been around for a while.

I love working with trackers but they have a steep learning curve. For a while I was playing with PixiTracker, which runs on phones. The interface is pretty pick-up-and-play and you can make jams on the toilet. You can add your own samples but I composed this using the built-ins: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hcc6mih44n9rjom/opp.mp3?dl=0

yes! i downloaded a "KEYGENMUSiC MusicPack" however long ago - sorted by and named after their respective keygens but with all their metadata still intact. it's super cool to be able to read through their descriptions and see what the people who made them were thinking at the time (like, listing your irl home address in there so people can send you "snail mail"…)

I got you
