Despite hardware limitations of the time, one of the best pieces of music ever written, imo. I just wish Elwood makes remake of this one without technical limitations like Captain did with Space debris some years ago.
One of the most impressive things about Elwood is how individually, each sample would sound pretty crappy but the overall track would sound amazing. Classic stuff.
I love how in the actual files back then, some of the composers would include their address hidden in the instrument list, so now after nearly 30 years, thanks to Google Street View, you can see the house somewhere in Finland this masterpiece was composed in :)
This is probably my favourite tracker song of all time. The pure whimsical and carefree feeling of this song with its adventurous tone make it one of a kind. It's so joyful and I always feel like I'm embarking on a quest through the stars when I listen to it. A phenomenal journey.
Good god I remember this from my circa-1998 days. I tried to email Elwood, but no reply--I don't blame him at all. There was no Social Media at the time. Dead Lock is a space-epic track that I couldn't touch back then. It's not even out-of-place in 2016. The re-surge we see now caught my '80s/'90s attuned attention. I get it. It's like drinking from a firehose. You can do it, but you're not catching everything in the first round.
@@KarmusDKI wouldn't be so sure. Back in late 90's many of my 'normie' classmates from music school dabbled in tracker's... the works of Elwood impressed the normies as much as any non-generic person afaik.
@@Рашка-у8й as french i was listening moby aka el mobo (ftrrderic motte not moby the star) and elwood too ofc and i discovered another one great guy radix : for me elwood and radix 2 of the best ever . I just hope they live well from their musik .... they deserve it ...
Quite possibly the greatest module ever made. Been listening to Elwood since 2009, and this is easily his best song. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it, it's insane.
Also, Elwood, if you're reading this (and I know you will), thank you for everything. Your tracks are one the best I've heard in my life, and helped me a lot in harder times. They're the reason I became interested in the demoscene, music software, and are pretty much the reason I started making music myself. I seriously can't thank you enough, stay being an awesome and inspirational person. (Also, I just realized that I'm writing this your birthday (11th August), so, happy birthday man! :D)
Indeed in nineties these came as fresh air. During time collected a ton of module tracker music. These are the only ones who left as files on local drive, also because it is not possible to find them anywhere. I'm still istening them from time to time.
Im the only one that put this kind of music while enjoying a barbecue? It boost the bonfire and make the meat that's amazing thanks to hypersonic waves tenderizing it.
I gotta necromance this thread and it's more sounds like it came from a PS1 game. And yes, I tested this tune on ePSXe. It uses all 24 channels provided by the PS1's SPU.
@@AlbiNiigataOuen you always have the possibility of using OpenMPT or some other modern tracker software, but if you really want to, just get a fricking commodore amiga and start composing on that
The days where I went to party with my friends at 7/8/1998 when Assembly 98 performed at the performing place… This gives me nostalgic moments and thinkings.
Except it's not Amiga. Amiga can only play .mod modules, while IBM-compatibles had ScreamTracker (.s3m), FastTracker (.xm) and Impulse Tracker (.it) Deadlock is .xm module
God damn! I just found this Music in a Funny Video and now I hear the whole Song. I love it! Actually, I like all types of Music that sounds like 8, 16BIt or something like that.
I think it's more like the magic that gets done by a great composer. Trackers were just the nearest tool for the job. If this guy had today's ableton with plugins, he would still produce masterpieces.. but I totally agree, trackers did make magic in the 90s. I sort of miss it. Luckily there is a shit ton of modules around to enjoy.
I vote this as having the catchiest melody in tracking history, and by quite a bit. I can't think of anything else that comes close... any suggestions? Not even Elwood's other works have a melody that make you want to put on a fucking jetpack.
hi I would like to know where the sound samples are downloaded? I have the program but I was hoping to find the sounds but there are not .. Please can you tell me where I can recover the tool libraries? Thank you
I bet this is actually running in Schism Tracker. I played all Elwood tunes in IT back in the day and Deadlock had some glitchy sounds in the chorus due to bugs in the XM playback code!
This music is perfect to be used in a boomer shooter with cute and colorful graphics a la Jumping Flash combined with the violent and visceral action seen in Doom and Quake but with the drawback that the blood and gore are of multiple colors, as if it were a rainbow bath.
The best music is never on Spotify
Ikr this music makes me speecless
Why use Spotify when Soundcloud already existed?
true
The original song is not available on Spotify, but Paokala's arranged version is available!
"The best music is never on spotify" Absolutely agree. Twisted insurrection doesn't show up there.
as a kid in 1998 I used to call this "My Favorite Song" and it still holds up as a transcendent piece of music!
Worms Armageddon theme had very similar bits, and I love it
Despite hardware limitations of the time, one of the best pieces of music ever written, imo. I just wish Elwood makes remake of this one without technical limitations like Captain did with Space debris some years ago.
I know this is hella late but Elwood does have a few modern releases like Spark, he has a website hosting them all.
This is too much to ask from an introvert! ;)
@@KarmusDK Elwood!?! :D
I wouldn't say technically impressive, as it format is strong as hell to this day, but I definetely want whatever elwood's taking.
NES remix when?

@@fawna4785 It was the 90s, the most that could be done with this information is to send a letter.
A loop of a TF2 Spy hump dancing in space brought me here.
don't forgot that he was in a dispenser
nice vid btw
Dyaa Sper Thanks. The funny thing is shortly after I wrote my comment, it suddenly gave me the idea to upload an extended version of the Spy dance.

I feel so bad reading this.
You're totally right when you say this is still relevant. When I first heard this a few months ago I never would have imagined it was 20 years old.
I hope he is alright and in good health.
Knew him in the 90ies from the demoscene times, always sent me his new tunes( snailmail ), this included. Heil The Scene.
I love when the mod tracker music dont sound chiptune.
This is beast
this track satisfies al my musical urges, it scratches all the right places. Elwood was a genius.
I know for sure everybody who likes this track probably are on the autism spectrum. One big family!

A blue guy humping in front of a strange disk with a blue center, all inside of a machine that fixes wounds and dispenses scrap metal brought me here.
That sounds an awful lot like the video that brought me here.

When music that sounds like it came from an N64 game is better than today's music.
+Mr. Delphi And I really want to make tracker music myself although I'm having difficulties understanding how Amiga music works.

The days where I went to party with my friends at 7/8/1998 when Assembly 98 performed at the performing place…
This gives me nostalgic moments and thinkings.
Hard to even imagine how long this must've taken to create.
Aw man, this took me back. Still have the original module lying around, haven't listened to it in probably 15-20 years though.
宇宙が感じられて好き…
Famous track. Love it! People in the community of the PC platformer Jazz Jackrabbit 2 used this for custom levels. Great work! And thanks for posting!
Well it does sound like something out of jazz 2 so it is just asking to be used for it.
Jazz2Online is where I got all my tracker music from and where my love of it comes from :)
I was wondering why it sounded familiar to me.
fuck this was made in a tracker?! Jesus, that's fantastic.
Yeah, and he was 16.
+MrKaizora AND...that is completely irrelevant
Except it's not Amiga.
Amiga can only play .mod modules, while IBM-compatibles had ScreamTracker (.s3m), FastTracker (.xm) and Impulse Tracker (.it)
Deadlock is .xm module
+tsunamistate wait, so it's .xm module, but above, it says Impulse Tracker... I guess the Impulse Tracker is compatible with .xm modules.
TheSqrtMinus1 yes
real men sequence vertically
love the way those lil dots dance around
I was sent here because of STblackST BUT I had already listened to rolling down the street in my Katamari so I sort of knew what these are
Brilliant, from '95 it's still so magic and powerful, nothing comparing to nowadays
"Buster, how did you create this masterpiece?"
"It was not me. It was the aliens from far above."
Prolly god it's way too good for a alien to make that..

I was listening to this song before a spy humped the air to it.
Can you beat 2003?
You mean the vacuum.
This feels like my childhood playing old games with music like this... ahhh
This track feels like Christmas.
Una delle canzoni più belle che abbia mai ascoltato by Italy
Oh my god, this tracker is beautiful also the song is awesome!
This music sound like a spaceship piloted by Spy.
Ooooh ... Reminds me my teenager years :3
Played that a lot on my first keyboards ^^
how old are ya now?
God damn! I just found this Music in a Funny Video and now I hear the whole Song. I love it! Actually, I like all types of Music that sounds like 8, 16BIt or something like that.
I get feelings of a like a futuristic place.
Like the one people thought would happen in the 50's
with shiny rockets, CRT's on small stands, and jetsons cars?
same dude, I love the visual trip this song gives me, sends me away to a far off futuristic fantasy that's totally awesome! :D
Much love for this tune.
super well made, still holds up today.
This music makes me want to fly
ikr
OooOOOooOooooooo............ What a great sound............ 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Half a megabyte of bliss...
I'm an old skool IT user, but why the heck record this in anything other than FT2 ? :O
Still sounds awesome the magic that could be done with Trackers, and still can.

This gives me so much nostalgia, I learned about this song almost 5 years ago. god, 2016 was 5 years ago almost, holy shit
6 nearly 7 years ago now…
@@earthluma it's so crazy its gonna be 7 years. but we're making it :)
Fuck the remakes of this. The tracker style sounds so good
try to have your eyes unfocused as you look at the video. It's like stars making music
Medi Ding does anyone else get a fucking headache when having eyes unfocused for a long time
@@tumpper1573 You might have mild epilepsy. Better not do the "daydream unfocusing" when looking at something that blinks rapidly.
HELL yes! A track that uses the same software as For Funky Fish, but from 1995! This is a class mix of trance and 8-bit! SO underrated!
I vote this as having the catchiest melody in tracking history, and by quite a bit. I can't think of anything else that comes close... any suggestions?

or explore space just for the lolz

Is it just me, or does this sound like 2000s Sonic The Hedgehog music? It'd be perfect for a Casino Zone in one of the 3D games.
Was just wondering though musics and found this and STBlackST's video cuz of it, man the tf2 community is a wonderful thing
it sure is
Insanely good!!
man. i'd love to play elwood's songs live with a big phat band.
genuinely the happiest song I've heard, ever
my favorite music is made in mod files! :)
Beautiful.
Top of Tracking Music ever!!!
Absolutely amazin =)
Imagine if a song like this would be in StarFox
Spy sappin my sentry
Sega Genesis vibes. Love it
Just watching the the grid you can see the neural networks firing like a perfect multi cylinder engine... YEAH!.... YOUR BRAIN...
LEGEND
Świetne! Great!
playing and elwood _XM_ in _impulse tracker (it)_ instead of fast tracker II. Blasphemy :-)
+irgendwerjoker even as an old long time IT user, I 100% agree with you. Fast Tracker II's sound engine > IT's
I bet this is actually running in Schism Tracker. I played all Elwood tunes in IT back in the day and Deadlock had some glitchy sounds in the chorus due to bugs in the XM playback code!
this inspires me
the way 12-13 mesh is so perfect
i wonder how much time it took to create this
This music give me World Cup 2002 feelings for some reason.
I have schism tracker. on the info page, how do you bring up the window that has the scattering dots?
This is amazing.
THIS IS SOOOOOOO.GOOOOD
BEST, SONG, EVA!
