| "When I was 12, my dad bought me the first computer I
ever owned. Like everyone else, I played around with it, destroying QuickShot II's and
trying to program the damn thing. It wasn't long however, until I found something that was
a lot more fun. Per Almered of Excellence In Art |
| 64ish FILENAME: 64ish.xm SIZE: 7 384 BYTES THIS IS A TRIBUTE TO all the C64 musicians that inspired me when I was 12-13 (and still do), especially Martin Galway (Hey Martin!), whose music really turned my head upside down. Especially the middle-8 part in this song sounds very Galway-esque. All samples from different C64 tunes, ripped using SidPlay. Per Almered |

| Death does not discriminate FILENAME: ddnd.xm SIZE: 1 729 188 BYTES ONE OF MY LARGER SONGS, mainly due to the voice samples, and that wonderful Korg X5-piano... Interesting thing: The vocals samples are from AT&T's speech synthesizer, although I must admit to retouching them quite a bit... Per Almered |
|
| Perish FILENAME: perish.xm SIZE: 195 502 BYTES THIS IS THE FIRST SONG I made in FastTracker 2, sampling all instruments from my BOSS DS-330 (Actually the first synth ever to feature Roland's MkII-chip, which makes a lot less noise than the first one...). I really like the arrangement in this song, not that it's very complex, I just like the sound of it... Per Almered |
|
| 03b FILENAME: 03b.xm SIZE: 207 138 BYTES ONE DAY PETER "PG" ANDERSSON called me; he needed some techno-style samples, and wanted me to check my sample-library to see if there was anything he could use. I sent him a bunch of sounds, and discovered some of them were pretty neat, so I made this song out of them. I don't know if PG ever used them, tho...hehe. So additional credits to him, for making me inspire myself! Per Almered |
|
| Pulse FILENAME: pulse.xm SIZE: 9 912 BYTES YET ANOTHER C64-SOUND-ALIKE. This song was made only to try out a pulse-wave sound I created in WaveCraft. It's a bit short, but downloading it shouldn't take too long, so I feel no remorse... Per Almered |
|
| "Stunder"
(?) FILENAME: stunder.xm SIZE: 1 500 BYTES ORIGINAL AUTHOR: UNKNOWN THIS IS REALLY JUST A test-thingy, but my friend aM on IRC liked it, so I thought I might aswell release the damn thing. If you haven't watched swedish commercial TV, chances are you've never heard this one... Either way, it's from a swedish McDonalds commercial, and cheesy as that may sound, the actual song isn't bad at all. Per Almered |
|
| Working FILENAME: working.xm SIZE: 180 493 BYTES THIS IS THE SECOND .XM I made, so it's a bit experimental, I'm afraid...8-) Don't go looking for Basehead influences, tho, it's pretty catchy, like most of the stuff that I listen to myself. Per Almered |
|
| You
to me are everything FILENAME: u2mereve.xm SIZE: 3 787 783 BYTES ORIGINAL AUTHORS: KEN GOLD AND MICKY DENNE OK, BEFORE YOU CHOKE ON the filesize, consider that this file contains the complete lyrics of the song, sampled at 22KHz 16 bits... Per Almered |
|
| Rasterburn FILENAME: rastrbrn.xm SIZE: 259 716 BYTES HERE'S AN OLDIE FROM '93, which I can't recall ever being released. Since it's so old, it was originally made in ProTracker on my Atari, which, as you may know, is not very compatible with most PC-trackers, so I converted it to .XM. Please don't use any other player than the latest FastTracker 2 to play it, tho; most players can't handle my little effects thingy at song position 0D. Per Almered |
|
| Greenish FILENAME: greenish.xm SIZE: 142 635 BYTES "ANOTHER OF PER ALMERED'S 1993 songs, Greenish won the music compo at the Motorola Inside-convention, firmly establishing him on the Atari scene, since he also won the demo-compo." Per Almered |

| Octalyser
Demo FILENAME: octademo.mod (8 channels) SIZE: 98 230 BYTES THIS SONG WAS FIRST RELEASED as a demotune for Octalyser STE, the first and (so far only decent) 8-channel tracker for Atari's STE machine. It was rushed badly in the making, but I doubt you'd be able to tell from the song, because it was just so much fun doing an 8-channel mod, my adrenaline just wouldn't stop pushing me. 8-) Per Almered |
|
| 2f FILENAME: 2f.mod (8 channels) SIZE: 283 800 BYTES LISTENING THROUGH THIS SONG FOR the first time in 2 years, it sounds a little unfinished, which it may actually be. Still, I like it a lot. It's definitely from my "disco"-period. Er... Per Almered |
|
| Fatale FILENAME: fatale.mod (8 channels) SIZE: 485 171 BYTES THIS SONG IS FROM MY Atari-demo Fatale, which was never released due to a harddisk crash. The only part of the demo that still exists is this song, which was played during the second part of the demo. Per Almered |
|
| Musique
- Zero FILENAME: musique0.mod SIZE: 246 517 BYTES THIS IS THE SONG USED in the second, and "main" part of my Musique demo. It's fairly short, but then again, so was the demo... Per Almered |
|
| Musique
- Two FILENAME: musique2.mod SIZE: 85 327 BYTES THIS SONG IS USED IN the first part of Musique. As far as I know, this is the only song I've made that's been done as a cover by anyone else. (Hi Gregzy!!!) Listening thru it again, it doesn't sound like "me" at all, but I still like it. Hehe. Per Almered |
|
| Smooth. FILENAME: smooth.mod SIZE: 331 382 BYTES I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT to say about this one. I know for sure that if I did this song again, I sure as hell wouldn't be using those voice samples, which I think were originally supplied with the MasterSound sampler for the Atari. It's a pretty good song, tho, and one of the few that I can't remember writing. 8-) Per Almered |
|
| Tipish FILENAME: tipish.mod SIZE: 89 570 BYTES AMONG THE FIRST MOD-MUSICIANS THAT really impressed me were Tip and Mantronix. I don't know how many hours of my life that I've wasted/accelerated listening to "A Final Hyperbase" and "Overload". In a state of hybris, I decided to try to do something similar, and, well, this is it. Per Almered |

| Obsession
- Main FILENAME: obs_main.mod SIZE: 100 024 BYTES THIS IS THE MENU-MUSIC USED in Obsession by UDS, a pinball game for Atari's STE and Falcon machines, aswell as the Amiga series of computers. Per Almered |
