Someone Is Stealing Tracker Songs and Selling Them

Just to add that while most tracked music in the 90s was electronica, there were others who tried different genres. My favorite example is Leviathan's "Dust To Dust", a Scream Tracker 3 composition that tended towards jazz / soft rock with something like a saxophone sound for the lead - once it gets going about a minute in. You can even see briefly in the song notes at the start, Leviathan says "I hopefully will never be forced to return to the typical demomusic genre":

But even with the original MOD format, Bjorn Lynne / Dr Awesome wrote a lot of Prog Rock MODs inspired by Genesis and other bands.

Oh absolutely! And thank you -- I didn't mean to minimize the genre but I guess I did.

I think my favorite opposite-of-electronica would be Joegir Liljedahl's "Guitar Slinger", which he somehow manages to fit into a 4-track MOD, but it sounds like there's so much more going on.

Smallest-favorite would be "echoing", which is 43k uncompressed, and manages to be pretty listenable despite its simplicity. It's really fun to watch the rhythm track in a player that shows you the scrolling data...
