Comment on Space Debris is an Amiga mod I composed back in 1991

Comments

For all the Go programmers out there: the good old Amiga MOD files are the reason why some file managers identify go.mod files as "music files"...

Also: nice info page, nice YouTube videos, but how about providing the MOD files (or whatever format it actually used - sounds like more than 4 channels to me, but maybe that's just because of the remaster) for download?

There's a number of very large and well known archives of classic mod and tracker music around. E.g. https://modarchive.org/

I'm aware of those (especially ModArchive) and I tried finding it there, but when searching for "space debris", it only found a different song (XM format). But then I took the hint to search for "space_debris" from the screenshot on the info page, and with that I was able to find it:

https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&qu...

And yes, it is really "only" a "classic" 4-channel MOD file! Cool...

So, ModArchive is great, but the search function has some room for improvement :)

Rightfully so, and they are still being used by a certain breed of people.
