Here is an oldie but goldie: Dandruff Groove by the Amiga composers Jazz (Kai Fischer) and Radix (Jakob Svanholm), featured in the classic Amiga technical demo 'Deus Ex Machina' from The Gathering 1997.
Consider the following: This song was composed for sound hardware equivalent to the 1985 Commodore Amiga computer, and is (in fact) playable on such old hardware. The 'Deus Ex Machina' demo on the other hand requires the somewhat more modern AGA graphics architecture (circa 1992) in order to run as opposed to the older ECS or OCS architecture.
The song's original sound format is the .mod format and is often used by tracker programs from the 90s.
I have noticed that the song in the Deus Ex Machina video on YouTube has a missing sample. This mainly regards a voice sample which is supposed to play between the 03:09 to 03:25 mark (approx.) while accompanying another voice, but is completely missing in the video version. Naturally, this version has no missing samples at all, as all of the audio was recorded using reliable .mod sound capturing software.
DISCLAIMER:
The song, the pictures and the demo is a property of its respective owners and I do not claim to own any of this material nor did I participate in its creation. I simply adore the hauntingly good quality and atmosphere of a song made usable by such old technology and limitations.
Enjoy the grooove~!

This is what tends to happen when the insanity continues from the previous volume, but I somehow dont mind any of that (hopefully you dont do it as well). Why yes, this mug of lunacy is moist indeed..")
