Episode #37 - Atari ST tunes
During the period of 1989-1992, which one could call the peak of the classic Atari ST demoscene, a huge amount of ST-megademos were released. The were full of wobbling logos, flexible and entertaining scollers, dot effects, sprites, bobs, flat shaded 3d... and all that along with YM-chipmusic. The dominating musician back than was doubtlessly Mad Max beeing responsible for about 90% of the Atari demomusics in some way. Nevertheless quite an amount of other chipmusicians participated in the demproductions as well. Some of the heartpieces of all those musicians are compiled in this Podcast.
For an Atari ST scener its likely a mix of very well known tunes and speaking personally, some of the tunes wake some really good old feelings in me still today. For other demosceners it might be a bit of a best-of-compile from those years - when three channels were an orchestra, 16 colors were enough for our oil-paintings and so many limits still had to be broken.
