Here’s a weird one for y’all: Brad Sucks - Tracker Array [10mb MP3].
As I’ve mentioned in a bunch of interviews I took classical guitar lessons when I was 8 or so but got bored of it. It wasn’t until I came across trackers on the PC around 1993 that I got hooked on making music (and realized that song files were the future) and it’s been downhill ever since. The trackers I spent the most time in were Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker, though I did my time in Composer 669 and Farandole Composer as well.
Recently I came across one of many stashes of tracker files I had converted to MP3 years ago. I thought about putting some of the songs online as a joke – some of the ideas are okay but the sound quality of the samples is so low it makes me gag. Instead I compiled them into one retro audio highlight reel. These songs are all from around 93-98 I think. You can picture me working in DOS, chatting on BiModem, running a Telegard BBS (Renegade is for lamers) and not getting much sun or healthy social interaction while you listen to this.
