Tell me:
"Tell me" is a song I composed after coming home from Back in Time Live 2008 (www.backintimelive.com), where I got inspired by listening to old C64 music in new versions. Also, I didn't mind getting drunk at Tomas Danko's place, chatting all night with old C64 legends such as Geir Tjelta and Jeroen Tel. It was a blast.

Paradize of Norway:
This song was made sometime during the autumn 1991. It contains samples from my first synthesizer, Kawai K4. And it also is a bit "Monkey Island theme" inspired, which got released about summertime that year for the Amiga. I did a follow-up on this track with 11 different jingles (made in only 3 channels to support fx's in 4th). All of that can be listened to in another Amiga module called "Pirates example-lzd". I later released a small music disk with a song-menu to choose from and the classic text scroller in the bottom full of ordinary crap. I don’t think many saw that music disk. But it was made during the winter of 1992. That time in my life I tried to impress different software houses to get interested in using my composing skills for freelance work. I eventually got involved with composing fxs+music for about 5 different low-budget game projects (c64 & amiga), but it never turned into any money coming my way. Just resulted in a distrust in the people in the industry, and I didn't chase it much further than that. 

Lemon'e trippies:
Eric Stevens (Kingpin) made a request back in 1992 for a happy and funky song to be used in RAW, and I spent a long evening and night to complete this track. All of the samples were done from my, at that time, newly bought Roland U20. This track was also made on the Amiga1200, and most PC module playback players screw up the vibration effects on the samples a bit. Quite a lot of people must have seen/read RAW, because I still receive comments about this song. When listening to it, it gives me a blur memory from the past of the demo scene and all the great friends I made through all those years being part of that community.
