Musician database / Phaze/Phluid
« on: May 03, 2013, 16:27:46 »
Hello

 While processing the various ACiD musicdisks by Phluid (which are here), I was able to complete a bit Phluid members. That includes Phaze for whom I got maybe too many information, as the issue #44 is dedicated to his passing away.

 I'm sorry to discover this musician only now. Granted, this is not Amiga related but his tracking skills are real great. I'm sorry about the news, but not sorry to ear his work now.

 I'm thankful for his contributions to the scene music and may he rest in peace.

Music database / 90 year old - XM
« on: April 22, 2013, 14:29:04 »
While retrieving the musics from Legend 5 (PC diskmag from 2001), I've found the attached music (XM._90 year old).
I've got a problem with it as it's credited to Falcon and KeyG in the mag (and the music) whereas AMP stores the very music as 'XM.90 year old', but credited to Lesnik.
Maybe there's some explanation in the mag but it's all in Polish :(.

Any help getting proper credit would be welcome.

Cheers

New features / FAQ
« on: April 21, 2013, 19:02:35 »
Not really a new feature, but the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) was updated. I've changed various outdated parts and turned it to a less offensive approach, I hope.
Any feedback is welcome.

Music Request / Zalza Versus The World
« on: April 16, 2013, 14:04:43 »
Hey,

 I'd like to gather all musics featured in the MS-Windows musicdisk "Zalza vs the world" (by Titan) (http://pouet.net/prod.php?which=59096). However, the musics don't seem to be easily accessible.
 I've sent a mail on Titan's web site requesting said musics. Has anyone succeeded at retrieving them ? If so, please share :)

Cheers

Announcements / Rink A Dink Redux - music
« on: April 04, 2013, 01:36:00 »
Hi,

 I'm happy to report that Paradroid shared the original musics that are featured in the aforementioned demo. Those are the three first musics in today's report. In the demo, those are in P61A format.
 While I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for Paradroid's move, I wish originals musics were shared more commonly, along with releases.

 Please, coders, musicians, help us collecting original material :)

Cheers
Sylvain

PS: the demo is here (and on pouet as well)

Ripping Amiga music / Binary - Phobia
« on: March 08, 2013, 16:37:16 »
Hey,

 Back 1999, I wrote a depacker for the specific format that can be found in the musicdisk Phobia by Binary. I called it "Binary Packer" (heh). Then in 2007, Muerto asked me to add it to Prowiz, which I did (I think). Anyway, Curt Cool recently updated this prod on Kestra and noted the specific format.
 I dug up my dusty sources and planed to work on it again. OK, so, I wanted a clean disk rip this time, but ... couldn't figure out the NDOS disk crunch format. I asked Cybfree for help and he wrote a decruncher in no time !! (you're the man).
 My old conversion prog was based on memory rips. After checking, it's still valid. What was missing, however, was to retrieve all the musics, which is now done, thanks to Cybfree :).
 Search for "Joe" in today's additions.

 If anyone is interested in the format or some code, please just ask. As for the decrunch tool by Cybfree, please, contact him at his website (http://cyberpingui.free.fr - site in French, mostly) or here, as he reads this forum.

Cheers

Announcements / Tecon interview
« on: March 04, 2013, 16:54:10 »
A more mundane news. Tecon has contacted me (Asle) and has been kind enough to answer to a few questions. His interview is now available for reading here.

Huge thanks for the interview (and the original of MOD.offworld !).

Announcements / server reshape
« on: March 01, 2013, 20:21:08 »
All

 Monty reshaped a bit the OS, running AMP. It unfortunately led to a complete formating of the HD and thus, led also to a reboot. All musics are being re-uploaded as I write this message. Should take a few hours. I'll update this message when this is done.
 We apologize for the inconvenience during this period.

UPDATE: musics are now available ! FTP is up as well.

Cheers

Music database / Trackering
« on: February 28, 2013, 09:22:09 »
All

 I'm done adding and completing AMP with all entries of The Trackering compos (#1 to #32).
 Now, I've searched a little but ... , was ever the #32 result published ?!? If anyone knows, please, send over !

 Last, going through these packages made me add a few authors of whom we know next to nothing.
Among those:
Recc
Hires
Tanigon
Partydvargen
Klausi
Headphone
Keefa-Z-
Archon
Merlin
Dr. Clone
Not Opus
Grin
Clepto
Libra
Coiled
Interphaze
Arclight

Probably some known people up there, but I failed to recognize them. So, any insight about any of those authors would be welcome (or additional material ;) )

Music database / Squirrel Fish music
« on: February 24, 2013, 22:18:07 »
Thanks to Tecon, a long-time mistake is now fixed.
MOD.do it with the gang is really a Squirrel Fish music.
It was formerly assigned to Bruno as both authors were thought to be the same. Although that was fixed a long time ago, this music was forgotten.

This music is featured in Sentinel 3 diskmag.

Announcements / some more rosy news
« on: February 24, 2013, 10:31:06 »
Hey all,

 Curt Cool's wife gave birth to a beautiful Julie earlier this month.
 I'm sure you'll all join me in congratulating them :)

 Meanwhile, Curty still found the time to hand over a CD48 (yes, we are there ..). How you managed this one, Frank, is beyond me :)

Cheers

 Official release package (at www.datastorm.se) contains also MOD.flz-partyprod3000 by Fegolhuzz, in the Amiga Music category.

 There was also some demo. Material inside was:
15 years of fame by Up Rough (P61A converted zik by Qwan)
Announcetro 2 by Focus Design (P61A converted zik by Hoffman <- Hoffman provided us with the original MOD.5k reese !)
Sönc by Dekadence (contains P61A converted MOD.micelies by Mice)
Mo'saik by Focus Design which contains some kind of MP3-like file (no idea what it is).

That's it. Now, to be noted, imho
- Ziphoid finally released a new zik :)
- Coma did his yearly release, yeah !
- the 'amiga chip music' competition was tough, real tough. Very good material in there !

Music Request / Jurassic Pack
« on: February 02, 2013, 00:59:44 »
Hello

 And another strange format pops up. This time, first found in My definition in blue demo by Scarab. Then it is found also in Jurassic Pack #14 (0003.mus and 0004.mus).
 This appears to be a derived from DBM, obviously. Header is slightly different and the pattern data are not packed. Writing a converter sounds possible, although it'll take some work.
 Anyone encountered this format before ? And if so does anyone know of a program that handles this "SSM" format ?

Thanks
Sylvain

Music Request / Pain diskmag
« on: February 01, 2013, 10:59:34 »
All,

 Yet another PC diskmag. This time, Pain.
 There's a lot of releases for this one. When concentrating on earlier releases (1994-1995), it seems the format in there is something close to AMF (Otto Chrons), and yet, it's not. I could locate all unconverted material but hit a snag for issue 01/95. It's a music by Big Bear ("HIT THAT GUY") which I failed to locate anywhere.
 If anyone has either the original music or an idea of what the music format is, please, tell me ;)

Cheers
Sylvain

-- EDIT: and there's also the issue 03/95 with an unknown author "lhaysom/psd" (credited in the mag as Lhyasom) with a music "warp 6".
-- EDIT: issue 07/96 comes also with this format, for a music by Musaya / NDS called "* waterworld *"
-- EDIT: issue 09/96 also, with Phred/NDS music called "Vertical Crossdown"
-- EDIT: and now issue 11/96 with another Phred/NDS music called "autumns piano"
