Random Monday : 10 Favourite Mods (Music, Not Games)
Today, I’ll be recommending some of my favourite mods. Not game modifications but digital music modules produced using tracker software and come in the extension (s3m, it, mod, etc). Most of these tracks were collected a few years back when I was a regular visitor of the The Mod Archive to listen to tracks featured on the weekly charts 
Anyway, I present 10 of my favourite tracks from The Mod Archive that either stood the test of time (at least for me) or bring back memories of the good old days (especially the first track).
- Crystal Hammer (crystalh.mod) - an upbeat little track with a groovy melody that kicks in at 1:55 mins. It also holds special significance as the first MOD in my collection and was first heard in the puzzle game Siege by Fallen Angel Industries.
- Chromosphere (chromosp.s3m) - Another groovy track. Also from the above-mentioned games, Siege.
- Ancient Stories 2 (aws_anc2.xm) - A beautiful track by the aptly named artist Awesome - I love the part that starts at 2:35 mins.
- Tales of Magic (nightbeat-tales_of_magic.it) - Most of Nightbeat’s tracks are excellent but Tales of Magic is my absolute favourite of all.
- Set U Free (Coral) (cb_setuf.xm) - Not sure if it’s a remake or remix of N-Trance’s Set You Free because the vocals sound very familiar.
- Neverending Story (live.s3m) - Wraith’s “live” cover version of Limahl’s 80s hit NeverEnding Story from the movie of the same name.
- class09 (class09.mod) - This track by maktone is one of the very few chiptunes in my collection.
- dubieduw (dubieduw.mod) - Funky stuff, not to sure what genre this falls into though.
- Victory is Ours! (c-viou.xm) - Some uplifting stuff by Szulu.
- Last Hope (l_hope.it) - Nice catchy tune by Aymes but slightly repetitive towards the end.
You’ll need a player like XMPlay to listen to these tracks though. Recommendations of other good MODs are always welcome, of course.
Enjoy!
