Links
This is a collection of links to sites I recommend, provided they still have the content I recommend by the time you visit them. I don't have the time to check links regularly.
Some sites are gone for good. But then, we're talking nineties here. I still mention them simply because I'm nostalgic, but I have removed the links to them.
Funky Brains and its members
dfast
Funk! Funk! Funk! Funk! Funk! Funk! Funk!
ceekayed
A very versatile guy who released lots of great tunes, ranging from metal to symphonic stuff to industrial and alternative computer game soundtracks
christofori
Our man for synthpop/jazzy stuff and storytelling
cryssalid
Very talented musician with mad bass playing skills. He never released a tracked tune though. I think. :-)
(I've kinda lost contact to infey and fermus. Where are they now?)
funky brains
Our group's page. It was bigger at some point until infey's server harddrive crashed one day. We resurrected it. :-)
Archives / Scene Sites
The Paula Rzeczkowska Appreciation Society (site is gone)
This was a great archive of MOD files, and the first one that introduced me to the works of other scene members, long before I knew what a chatroom is.
For a personal page, there were really large quantities of files at this site, Zaba must have been online for months to upload them. Very expensive in 1995...
The MOD Archive
A HUGE archive with well over 10 gigs of MODs. Many composers of the world's MOD
scene have their music files here. Anyone may upload a song to get it reviewed.
All in all, a very popular site with well over 600 gigs of monthly traffic.
scene.org
The well-known scene.org servers are hosting a big number of artists and group pages, demos,
and songs. Definitely a very good source, and essential to the demoscene.
Modulez
This was once the page of the spanish-spoken IRC channel #modulez,
but became a new international tracker community later on. Friendly, and lively.
Chiptune.com
"Blipp blopp for the masses" is the slogan of Chiptune.com, the music archive for oldskoolers. Chiptunes are tunes which either require a soundchip of a C64, ZX Spectrum, NES, or similar.
Many chiptunes were not made on those systems but are intended to sound as if, by using simple sine waves and/or deliberate chunks of data as instruments. Essential site.
The Hornet Archive
Though Hornet is now closed for new uploads, it is still one of the central
resource points on the web for demoscene related productions of all kinds till 1998.
Modland
Coma's collection of more than 64000 modules on a big FTP server. Yes Sir!
The IMM (site is gone)
An archive where the reviewing of songs seemed to be the most important service. The IMM once featured the legendary Newcomers' Guide to the Zen of Tracking, and was
one of the better places to find quality MODs.
goodstuff: the scenemusic guide (site is gone)
Another reviewing site. Only tunes considered very special are being reviewed by the goodstuff team.
Orange Juice (site is gone)
A great site for all sceners. It had an extensive database of people and groups, news, pictures and more. Everything an online community needed to keep going and in touch.
Nectarine/OJradio
The scene's online radio. Broadcasting non-stop all kinds of tracked songs!
No Error - Scene Music News
An important site dedicated to news and releases in the tracker scene.
Software
For links to tracker software, players, plugins and stuff like that, check the software page.Non-scene sites I'd like to tell you about
