Migrated the VM to a new machine in the datacenter. Probably nobody even noticed until I said something.

A little more downtime due to migration within the datacenter. Should all be back now.

Site was down for a few days due to maintenance in the datacenter. Everything should be back up now.

Been a while, but added a few new tracks.

• Dope – Jugi
• Jellyfish – Narfy
• Life (Remix) – C20G
• Onward Ride – Jugi
• Popcorn (Remix) – xain l.k
• Rain in Elven Forest (Oleg Dunaev)

The station was down for a bit, because I accidentally ran the VM out of disk space, and the server shit itself.

Anyway, got it going again.

• Beyond It All – Cyn
• Big Beat – Orpheus
• Drift – Nobody
• Houche Les Glaouix – Med
• Jerry’s Groov – Mirror
• Melodic Spacelove – Stalker
• Mission Impossible – Notman
• Skipping Rope – Sixtus
• This Time – Stressball
• Titania – Fabian

This time around, I was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of decent tracks with little effort. As usual, discovered through the “random song” link on modarchive.org

Added a few new tracks to the library.

• Cy2ber Jangle2 – Xtant
• Green Space Mutants – x-poole
• Saturn 127 – Unknown
• Supersonic – Hannu Ahokas

Merry Christmas motherfuckers!

The weekly datacenter migration is complete. We should be good for at least an hour and a half.

So making my rounds listening to random modules on modarchive.org, I found a track called Winter Freeze.

It sounded really familiar, but I couldn’t place it, so I went digging into my local archive… turns out it sounds extremely similar to Autumn Depressions, just shortened and with some minor changes. Looking a bit further, it’s obvious that even the samples are the same, and in the same order. Setting the tempo of both tracks the same and playing them side-by-side (one in each ear) you can hear it’s almost identical, except for the piano. There’s no way one isn’t a ripoff of the other.

I could maybe believe one being a remix of the other, but neither mentions the other in the texts in the file.

According to the text inside Winter Freeze, it was written for a competition in 1999… whereas Autumn Depressions was uploaded to modarchive.org as far back as 1998. So I’m going with Autumn Depressions being the original.

(Incidentally, looking up the page for the competition in question, I found at least one other person that recognized the similarity)
