Favorite old skool .mod/.xm/.s3m tracks

Okay so I am starting to get into trance/electronic whatever you wanna call it music.

I have alot of old saved mod etc files, and after re-listening to them after many years of collecting dust, some of them are quite good.

Does anyone have any favorites they would like to share? I think the most popular I have are by PM.

EDIT: Posting some mods (In a somewhat preferance order)..

PM's stuff for the FC 2ndreality demo:

Skaven's tracks for the 2ndreality demo:

Children tracked by Heretic:

Not the best song but it sticks on you. (kinda like the annoying song on the mac airbook commercial)

Fountain of sighs by unreal/pulse:
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/FOUNTAIN.MOD
Slow, a tad cory, but very good.

Guitar slinger by Jogeir Liljedahl:
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/GSLINGER.MOD
Kinda whimpy, but amazing cleverness with tracking - even has samples for fingers sliding on strings.

Guitarous. Not sure of the artist..
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/GUITAROU.MOD
Im not positive, but I seem to remember that this came with one of the old DOS mod players.

Valley Of The Sea byy C.C.Catch/Renaissance
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/VALLEY.MOD
Slow, good mod.

Varanen by Lizardking/Alcatraz
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/varanen.mod
Good mod, a few good changes in the song. Doesnt seem to play quite right with winamp.

Rainy Night by not sure:
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/RAINY.MOD
Decent mod, catchy melody.

One,two, three - FIRE !!! by I dunno.
http://slimebbs.com/mod1/fire.s3m
Contrived of rip offs, many from PM/FC demo. Still not too bad.

Paradox keygens normally have good music, there is one which sounds really sad and and has somewhat the same sound as that PPK song

wtf there is to many to choose from infact what a stupid question to ask

Posted by breakaholic on Mar-12-2008 14:58:

There's tons of good mod music but one particular track I've always rated above all. It's Efflorescent Gaia by Enigmatic Statement. I uploaded mp3 file instead of original tracker file because it can't be played with winamp.

Check it out

I also started with a tracker (FT2). Bit late though but was active in Trax in Space 1999-2001

edit. Ah this is not that old-school, from 2000 if remember correctly but produced with mad tracker2. Anyway if this counts

HOLY SHIT, this is a fantastic post!! I owe quite a bit of my love for electronic music because of MOD/S3M/XM/IT music... I used to use a PC game creation program that allowed you to add MOD based music, so I would spend hours going on modarchive.com and other sites downloading and listening to the songs for use in my game. If Col still posts here he'll know exactly what I am talking about.

Some of my favorites:
Basehead - Chiba City Lights
Anything by Necros/Purple Motion
Click.s3m

They're file formats for tracks made in old tracker programs.
