  • Favorite Tracker Artist?

    From Foriest Jan Smith@VERT/NGMBBS to All on Friday, May 01, 2026 06:19:04
    The whole reason I got into finding BBS boards is my search for more tracker files from back in the Amiga's hey-day, and through that I've found quite a few interesting tracker compilations which have introduced me to some of my favorite artists (XTD, Uncle Tom, Nighthawk, & Dreamer to name a few). I'd love to hear if anyone has a tracker artist of the time they'd consider their favorite (if I had to pick one it would be Nighthawk)?

    I don't have an answer for your question, but I wanted to mention that I just recently found this Fasttracker II clone for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux:

    https://github.com/8bitbubsy/ft2-clone

    I had never used Fasttracker II originally, but I like its retro UI, and it's able to play .mod files (I only have a couple; I'd like to find more).

    "Blue Boxing" by Static is one of my all-time favorites.

    I was into it but i can't remember anything about it. people didnt
    really keep interest in it and i dont know anybody in bbsing who's really
    into it.

    "Blue Boxing" by Static is one of my all-time favorites.

    Thanks! "Last Sunset" & "Alchemist" by Nighthawk is one of my all-time favorites. :D

    I'd love to share some from my collection, but I must admit I'm new to boards and am unfamiliar with how the file-sharing aspect of it works, lol.

    Well, i don't really remember the artist names of the good SiD/MOD artists from back then, but today i would recommend to listen to this artists SiD tunes
    https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/V/Vincenzo

    well, and there are of course also these well known musicians from back then https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Rob_Hubbard https://www.c64-wiki.com/wiki/Chris_H%C3%BClsbeck

    And what teleports me right back to the early 90s ist this amiga soundtrack from 1991. It says "Firefox and Tip" in the credits for the music.

    I know this is a late reply, but I recently released a cover version of "Blue Boxing" by Static that you might be interested to hear. https://youtu.be/E6QiPf1JAyw?si=lygf9cqZIfVRvuOl
