Please, if you like, detest, or have warm and squishy feelings about these songs, download them to your machine first. It’s amazing how much traffic these silly old things get. Thanks.
Originals
[Placeholder while remastering songs… whenever get around to it, and I’m a bit short on roundtuits.]
“Computer Boy Oom Pa Pa” – [2.2M] – The car chase music from the short parody ‘Computer Boy’, written by Lance Lehern. He only had a 45 second version available on MP3.COM, so I opted to clean it up a bit and give it an ending – well, not really, but I fade it out anyhow. It used to be available via his MP3.COM website. May, 2000 (I think).
“Dope – Complex” – [9.5M] – This is a simple remix (well, re-looping) of the music from the demo “Dope” by Complex. I’ve removed the horribly long introduction, and looped the ending back unto an internal pattern so it may be listened to ad-nausem. Of course, this doesn’t work well with MP3s (they can’t loop!), so I’ve made the ScreamTracker version available as well, here [340k]. February, 2004.
“RedShift – Extended Remix” – [12M] – Remix of Juice/phd’s 1996 zak. Extended version, 13 minutes. Lots of pattern changes, samples cleaned, etc. May, 2002.
“Respirator” – [5.5M] – Remix of Zodiak / Cascada’s rather odd zak. It’s obviously 8 bit, and the samples are horrible, just horrible, despite my best attempts to cleanse and replace them. None the less, this tune is so odd, I’m happy with my simple extended mix and “fixes”. This took much longer than it should have. Remix final – August, 2002.
“The Vault (Hyper-Extended, slide to the side Mix)” – [18M] – Industrial style extended remix inspired by Fallout 2. Cleaned up, remastered with 16 bit samples, and remixed to a full 19 and a half minutes. Note that this is background music, most, er, attuned to playing Fallout 2, of course. if you just sit and listen to it, I’m pretty sure it will drive you nuts. It has about 4 and a half minutes of pettern data; it’s looped with various different patterns; this is the difinitive endless-loop style electronica, you’ve been warned. May, June 2002.
“World of Mages” – [12M] – Remix of LizardKing / Triton’s technoish tune, with a classical flare. I updated the samples, killed the loop, and eded up with this slightly-over-twelve minutes hyperextended zak. November, 20002.
Unfinished / Incomplete / Sucks
“Isotoxin Remix” – [7.7M] – Remix of Necros’ (Andrew Vega’s) oddly styled isotoxin zak. Well, some things do not translate properly from 8 bit samples and hissy mixing. I fixed as best I could, but transitions, none the less, are all but lost. I did manage to get a few custom loops completed before I gave up, though. May, 2002.
“LavaLamp” – [6.6M] – This tune was written by a friend in the group BayRoot, at least, as far as I can tell. He provided me with his basic Impulse Tracker tune, and I immediately had to get to work on it. I’ve cleaned up the loops, added fading, as well as changed the structure of the sinewaves, extended, et al. This is currently a work in progress, and is a bit too noisy, but I’ll fix it. March, 2003.
“Phantasmagoria, Reprise” – [12M] – Remix of 4mat/anarchy’s 1992 tune. Loops killed, panning modifications, instruments cleaned, trebel and bass filters. 13 minutes. Minimal pattern changes required. I need to create an actual ‘ending’ to this tune, and clean up a bit of the dry-cutoff, but I feel it is otherwise complete. None the less, it sits here until then. September, 2002.
Not mine!
“Secret Agent Man” – [1.6M] – Joe converted a MIDI to AY8914 with a simple wrapper to play on Intellivisions, or IntelliVision emulators. I’ve slightly modified his code for the audio output of jzintv, emualting a DC Block so the sines are not quite as square, and sound a bit more realistic. This is the result of his cover of “Secret Agent Man” through my modified code. Note that some samples are “missing” due to the lack of ECS computer emulation. Song conversion: 2000; Modded AY8914 code: July, 2003.
“Vault City” – [1.6M] – The original ‘Vault City’ music from the game Fallout 2, converted to MP3. This inspired the above “The Fault…er, The Vault” creation. Nowadays, you can find what’s touted as the “Fallout 2 Soundtrack” at duckandcover.cx. By Mark Morgan of Interplay / Black Isle, 1997?

I’ve got my guitar back, oxidized strings and all. Still, I have nothing yet to share – thank your stars! ;)

Due to the volatile nature of my limited bandwidth, some, or all of these songs may be unavailable – not that they’re ever that much of a burden on downloads; however, they do chew up quite a bit of disk space. Thanks for your understanding.
