Amiga Music Preservation

Amiga Music Preservation (AMP), a non profit association, is running the biggest and most comprehensive database ever about amiga music and amiga musicians. All the composers of the amiga deserve to be remembered and to have their work preserved. We tried all we could on our own but although it's growing all the time, now we seriously need you to help us one way or another.

Hello to you all,

So there it is ! It's 2021 now.
To everyone, and in the name of AMP team, I wish, to all of you, all the best for 2021.

What a strange year this 2020 has been !

Again, I would thank, as usual, everyone who has sent us information and/or material to enrich the collection. Quite a lot of people, again this past year, did send us material ! and that's really appreciated.

News-wise, 2020 had its share of events. We migrated again to a new server where several issues awaited us

. We went off the air this past year for a couple of weeks. But all in all, we are still around and up there sharing tracked material

Be safe.

The AMP team

19.05.2020 (09:02) - Jeroen Tel - by Curtcool

In co-operation with Nah-Kolor, AMP are now happy to make the gathered Amiga works of legendary games composer Jeroen Tel (of Maniacs of Noise) available to the public. Today it is his birthday, so, happy birthday Jeroen - and good luck with the new album.

In 2019 Nah-Kolor made "Time Will Tel", a musicdisk of the best tracks Jeroen did on Amiga - go download it on pouet (youtube link should be available shortly)
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=82435

Just to make things easier, go download the modfiles of Jeroen Tel, of course including the mods from "Time Will Tel":

14.01.2020 (11:49) - We appreciate your support! - by Curtcool

...and ... finally ... we use it as well.

In other words, we are happy to announce that all of the support (in the form of modules and collections) that you have provided us with via the (now defunct) amp ftp over the past few years have been sorted and all the tunes not already in the collection has been added.

Thank you very much for your support, all of you and sorry for the delay. As the changes and modifications list shows, quite a lot of stuff was added in the past few days and weeks, including quite a lot of real, old, 1990's Amiga modules from known and not-so-known demoscene composers - or in other words, the core of AMP's reason to exist.

So, enjoy!

And .. here we are, it's 2020 already !
So, to everyone, and in the name of AMP team, I wish you all the best for this new year.

This is an opportunity to thank, as usual, every individual who has sent us information and/or material to enrich the collection. Wayyyy to many, yet again, to list you all here.

As far as news go, 2019 was an eventful year, for sure. We migrated to a new server, switched ftp to a cloud, had our share of panic moments when we went off the air for a couple of weeks, etc. Hopefully, it'll be smooth sailing for 2020

25.06.2019 (19:00) - We reached 150.000+ modules - by Crown

Today is a new milestone for the Amiga Music Preservation Website as we now host more than 150.000 musics. It took 19 years and a lot of time and efforts from truly passionate people.

On behalf of the team (Asle, Curt Cool, Monty) I want to thank all supporters and contributors for making it possible.

There are still tons of Amiga music to be preserved so please keep providing us with missing modules, information, etc. so that we have 20+ years of work.

Have a lovely day!

31.03.2019 (21:15) - new server and collateral changes - by Asle

To all our users,

Going back a few weeks ago, we have migrated AMP to a new server (taking care of PHP7 mandatory upgrades and the like). The announcement is only made now since we have had various difficulties here and there.
You can see one of the consequences in the Forum. The old design wouldn't fit anymore with this way more up-to-date version. The second main consequence is the FTP which had to go. The way our new server is set up wouldn't let us easily create an FTP sever. We opted for a cloud solution (Nextcloud). That way, whoever wants to send us something needs only to drop that "something" on https://amp.dascene.net/upload/.

cheers
Sylvain for AMP staff

In the name of AMP admins, I wish you all a happy new years 2019.

This new year message was lost in space in recent years but then, I thought it was nice to show there's still some life around here, so here we are.
It was a bit quieter than the previous years, activity wise. Still, about 3600 musics were added. and the usual bunch of updates happened as well (music and musicians, of course).

I must, once again, thank way too many people to make a list. You all know who you are. A special, thank you, however, to all musicians/coders who provide us with the original material (MOD) when applicable. While it is still not a common practice, it certainly is VERY much appreciated when it happens !

I hope we still stand when celebration time comes next year. And until such time, I wish everybody all the best, once again, for 2019

Cheers
Sylvain

09.09.2018 (10:10) - New AMP logos - by Crown

We have received a new logo from Yomaru Kasuga (thanks a lot buddy, we love it) and as you probably know we get crazy when we receive your GFX creations. So if you have some talent in designing logos please send them to us!

For your information, we have created a specific topic in the forum: /forum/index.php/board,21.0.html

You can also browse through all logos that we have received over the years: /logos.php

Looking forward to see them rolling.

Hi,

If you happen to have lost your PW to the Forum, please use the following link to retrieve it: http://amp.dascene.net/forum/index.php?action=reminder

We had an SMTP issue that prevented it to work which has now been corrected.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

We were just informed that Daniel Dimitrijevic (AKA Thanatos) sadly passed away on January, 2nd, 2014. I had had the pleasure of meeting him back in 1991, at the Iris New Year Conference, in company of Doh. We send our warmest condolences to his widow.

01.01.2014 (13:45) - 2014 - by Asle

And here we are. Yet another year has come and gone. 2013 was nice, but it's now 2014.

The usual "log" of what happened, here, follows:
7200+ musics added
~400 musics were updated
1100+ authors were added and/or updated
100+ groups were added and/or updated
50+ pics were added

News wise, Crown has made some appearances throughout the year and 2014 could see his come back

. Curt Cool is lost somewhere in Australia. Nothing much to report for the others.

That's about it. Remains to wish you all a happy new year 2014, that, in the name of all AMP team.

30.12.2013 (23:13) - demozoo - by Asle

At last, demozoo is open to public !
It still has rough edges, but it's already looking great. So, all the best to you, Menace, and your team for this nice looking project

I'll try to follow what's happening.

PS: And, of course, linking musics from AMP is more than welcome. Should something be done on our end, please, tell me/us.
