Amiga Music: Jester Compilation #1 

i think tracker music and early computer music in general teaches us an important lesson: it's not about the price tags on your equipment or how many tools you have- it's about using your creativity and drive to use the tools at your disposal to make something great.

Stardust Memories is still divine in 2019

Elysium and Stardust Memories, two of my favourite songs of all time. I never fail to get a chill down my spine and goosebumps when they come up in my play list.

Stardust Memories rocks! I don't even know how many times in my life i've heard this masterpiece. Respect.

Elysium, the very first mod when I didn't even know what a mod was. High-energy music for everyone!.

Guys !! Jester/Sanity was the best MOD music creator ever !! I had it im young heart about MSX music with fast tracker 2 here, in Brasil !! 90’s 8bit Music !!! I had a music called KNGDMSKY (Kingdom Sky)… simply Awesome !! Cant find it… Thanx man to compile this video with this piece of my childhood !! 😢

Elysium got me into dj'ing, safe to say that this track changed my life.

Thank you so, so much for uploading this. Here's my story: So after realizing the Mozart sound card my dad bought didn't include an OPL3 sound chip - despite that at 10 years old I repeatedly told him to buy a Creative Sound Blaster - I was devastated. I loved electronic music and video game music was just not there, even though I had great games like Doom and The Incredible Machine 2. I couldn't make it work, if it was even possible. So then I realized something: there was music in cheap Spanish magazines (PC Manía IIRC) that included CDs, with shareware and demo versions of games. And it was then that I discovered the world of trackers! With a trusty copy of Sound Tracker 3. I instantly fell in love with them. It was something so incredible, like nothing I ever heard before. Each month I would go through all the tracks sent by readers in floppy disks (files couldn't be < 1.44 MB) to the magazine's offices. So once, dicking around, after I typed in C:\VGACopy>dir I realized there was a .MOD file over there, a floppy disk duplicating utility folder. Curious, I loaded it on Scream Tracker and, lo and behold, it was Elysium, only I learned its name 10 minutes ago. Awesome track.

I love how many protracker musicians used great pitch bending for their melody.

I was a huge fan of Jester and Elysium is my all time favourite Amiga module. Watching his mods playing in a tracker was always so fascinating too, seeing him push those 4 channels to their maximum potential.

ProTracker is a thing of beauty. As always I am hypnotised 😵‍💫

This does bring back memories and a rewarding sensation of comfort. Thank you.

Jester is one of the best tracker amiga musicians

Thanks. This brings back a lot of great memories.

This is great. Awesome tracks. Thank you so much for uploading!

Stardust Memories... Many hours in front of tv playing some Genesis games on my PS2 and scrolling through the Pgen menu hearing this track :')

Elysium I listen so much to that amazing tune! :-D Thanks for taking me back to an awsome time! :-D

Epic stuff mate =) Thank you for uploading this! Because the awesome music makes my working days less harsh on me ;)

I was in my pre-teens/teenage years when I first heard Cyberride. It blew my mind. It clearly had a big impact to me and got me into scene music and later to music in general. I still listen to old tracker songs every now and then - when I want to take a trip on a nostalgy-train.

Thanks for the video. Jester has been one of the most talented and great musician during Amiga-Mod period. Elysium is a masterpiece and is my favourite Jester's song.

Keeping good memories in mind is a great power. I used to listen to these musics in late 80s and 90s. Never got out of my brain. In a world surely having real problems it is a great source of hope and ideas to me.

YES! I used to love listening to Jester's tracker tunes back in the 90s

Stardust Memories is a pure masterpiece.

wow omg love it, especially Stardust memories, but all these songs are amazin

Cyberride is the soundtrack for the Palm OS game Bike or Die! 2 I'm here just for that, I haven't lived long enough to get to know the Amiga in it's days of glory :)

Thanks for this. My introduction to Jester was "Basic Instinct". Amazing track.

Awesome compilation !!!!

Thanks for this Amiga music fix!

This is really great!

Fantastisch! Da kommen Erinnerungen hoch =D Ich glaub', ich pack gleich meinen A3000 aus!

Thank you for the music.

Cool, thanks for the upload!

The important point is that he his one of the best to this day and has been since the beginning: apparently out of nowhere the sanity team released from the beginning only hits and Jester mastered mods making from protracker / noisetracker start . It would be great to know how he did it. He surely has some huge music background, father / mother in that matter...

A lot of these were familiar - I have listened to A LOT of MODS from back in the day :)

The voice clips, those are just great.

Cyberride may be my favorite protracker mod ever. Jester manager to make an Epic melodic track and yet also very techno-like. Later guys tried to emulate it, but never came close imho.

Jester / Volker Tripp once sent me a CDR album of other music he'd been working under the name Odd Job called Oddeology. Sadly, the disc no longer plays. Anyone know if it's available somewhere?

Amazing! My favourite theme. Good job. Best regards from Russia.

Now that I see titles from the mods I realize some of them are spot on (Nazgul for instance).

Always loved the Protracker oscilloscopes. So crispy!

Another earsplitting hit from the jester

I owe a sacrifice to the 4-channel, 31-sample gods, even if I never had and will never have an Amiga.

Wrauu... just love the intro molecule's revenge tune, great vibe. Man. I wish I made back in the good old Amiga days :-)

Why are you guys doing this to me!!?? This is like a 35 year old FLASHBACK!!

Beyond awesome!

Ohh! I abolutely LOVE that.

This brings back so many memories, thank you. Can you do Fajser of Rage in a video?

Ooooooohh STARDUST MEMORIES !!!!! i remember .... my children's dream on my AMIGA .

I remember downloading a crap ton of .mod music from a couple BBS’s as well as a DOS player that had a nice GUI. I wish I was able to go back in time to relive the good ole days.

you got some skills this predates mtv music generator i can see why alot of trance rave techno music of the 90s sounded similar

Jeesh, reminds me so much of Unreal Tournament 99. All their track is Tracker music, and memorable till this day! If anyone curious - look up UT- GoDown , UT - facing worlds , UT-Mech8.

AMIGA rocks ! So good to listen it !

Grew up in the 2000s. Sad I never got to enjoy this kind of stuff when I was a kid. But that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it now! My thanks goes to LGR and the 8-bit Guy for introducing me to all this cool retro tech and media!

I learned about "Cyberride" because it was featured in some random iOS physics bicycle offroading game called Bike or Die 2 that came out during the early days of the mobile app boom. That was probably the last place I would ever expect to hear a tracker song from 1993.

Cyberride, best track here, blown away!

Magnificent :)

Awesome!! :)

Gosh these protracker songs really bring back memories.

ughhhh wish i couldve been at some of these parties

Wow never seen this version of Protracker looking Nice Finally.....been out of the Amiga scene for a few years now...I need to get this at least in Emulation. Awesome looking!

Stardust Memories is a nice piece of work.

Good old days. Cyberride is my favourite, but then I'm a bit biased :-D

Elysium by Jester - One of the best mods on the planet 11/10! Come On!

I just released an album that I made between 1994-1998 on my Mac IIsi using a mod tracker called 'Meditor', it was a bit different in that it had a more visual way of tracking, rather than the lines of code. The album is called 'Weinermart'. by me. (It's really quirky music), I made it when I was a kid and the full imagination was on show!

Stardust memories

This is awesome! My intro to Jester was "fast food". Still looking for it in a version I can access... I found a .mod but a recommended quick fix to re-save as a .mpg didn't work. darn!

Jester was sick, that guy only needed 4 channels to produce hits. I ripped loads of samples from molecules revenge and basic instinct back in the day. And yes, of course I credited him in the sample text ;-)

Elysium is the best music from Jester

05. World of Commodore!!!

Isn't The Jester the guy who made the music for The Town With No Name? (the amiga version atleast)

Give me a drink, bartender. I'm sure he'll never live that off

How do you get the different colour schemes inside protracker? I have the same version but can't work out how! thx

ohhhhhh 17:23. pure gold!!

cyberride slaps omfg

gooooood

I love Track 2 - Elysium 👌

someone, or the original composers, should remake some of the amiga classics with full modern sound..

Anyone know of a public domain holding .MED Amiga Files from BBS groups, NASA ftp, Fairlight BBS Etc?? Etc.???

Elysium... I remember that one I've heard it before.

is Jester still about? I make tracker music and have always had a problem with coming up with melodies, inspirational stuff

Amiga FOREVER ;)

Yay!

Looked like a strange new tracker but it was actually good old PT3.61 with some very disturbed color selection, lol :)

Nazgul is simply awesome.

Это так хорошо, я на небесах!

Good old Cyberride in Extension by Pygmy projects

would i be able to make this sort of music on a korg msi? just stumbled upon this for the first time and im mesmerized; im going to research the amiga

Any idea what's the type of music played in track 2? Sounds like electro but can't find similar genre!

Is there a little Depeche Mode hidden in the Basic Instinct track?

ProTracker on my Amiga 2000

I know this song from 15:00... Bring back memories..

WOW

I like Amiga, why dont they make a smartphone with AmigaOS? (

The MOD-guys always got the lead synths right... not like those.. retro,synth,etcwave guys who Always gets lost in fibbly kiddy tralala leads in all off their compressed kick 80's pastish's...

Space debris, the best of all. No have way.

This first song has the same sound as a song from The Shamen.

That looks like a cool ass version of protracker... I got to find that one.
