This is what made me worship MOD files. I listened to PC speaker, then Ad Lib. But when someone first hit "play" on this song my entire musical world exploded. Studio quality (well, pretty close) tracks were possible with 4 channels and an Amiga 500. Complete game changer, this one.

It feels like finding old files on an old computer where I used to play a childhood game that doesn’t work anymore, but the music folder with the WAV files is still there.

When you consider that Captain was only 15 or 16 when he made this tune in 1990...

[TinyGiantLifeStyle]

Somehow the limited tracks, the limited bits, the way samples had to be positioned and limited in number and position to not overplay another sample created an amazing art-form that is really its on genre. It sounded amazing, clean, and somehow inspiring. I miss it

[Xenogenocide]

1991. THIS SHOULD BE BURRIED MILES DEEP IN A CEMETERY.

But it isn't, because it is FUCKING AMAZING.

My 3rd favourite mod tracker song of all time. The spacesynth remix is so damn good. Amazing how Markus managed to pull this off with 4 tracks

[RichardCraig]

OMG, one of my favorite MODs ever... loved it so much when I was 13 that I actually listed it in my middle school yearbook as my favorite song! What a dork I was (and still am).

Still listening in 2042. This message was sent back to 2024 through a time machine generated by inputting this MOD into an unknown space artifact in 2024.

I showed this to someone who'd never heard of trackers before, he asked what all the Matrix stuff scrolling up was, he said "It looks kinda like when a player piano scrolls up the music sheet"

[CDWD-Project]

Wow how this brings back the memories from being a computer junkie in my teens and now after 30 years in computer now I still think about the good old days of logging in at 1200 modem to download still like this..

[AlEbnereza]

He was THIRTEEN years old when he wrote this, people! 13!!!! Mind blown. What an amazing song, such great memories.

[hansvandenbogert]

Thanks dad, for buying that Gravis Ultrasound back then :D

[mjvonnorris]

some might remember him as one of the composers in Poets Of The Fall

[weepingscorpion]

I never tire of hearing this song. So good.

Also, I love the fact that the sample for suspended chords is called arrested chords. :)

[jones]

Oh dear Jesus this is the heart of the 80s and 90s

[Drsuds]

I was always amazed at how crisp it sounded in IT

[kazaaakplethkilik]

If I will ever be the captain of a spaceship and collect space debris, then I'll do it with this song.

[Blarney-efwp]

Oh Shit!!! Oh Damn!!! THIS IS IT! This was the one a friend played for me WAY BACK in like late 80s... on an ATARI! (130XE) It got me writing and I have loved this much for so long. Yeah, Ookay... call me Geekasaurus Rex... I LOVE this kinda stuff but this was THE ONE that just blew me away in a time of Midis that never sounded right or the same on different computers or different sound cards. MODs ALWAYS sounded (pretty much) the same and I was hooked! When I lost the ability to run FastTracker on newer NON-DOS Windows I fell out of making MOD music. I have rediscovered it I love it. And this will always be the best MOD ever in my life. Others have certainly blown my mind. But this has a special place always!

[funxiobolic]

This is truly an amazing MOD, and the spacesynth remix is also beyond awesomeness. Imagine, Captain was only 13 years old when he wrote this!

[denret]

i honestly cant thatn Ahoy enough for introducing me to tracker-made music. so damn good.
