Chris Jarvis forever It's an amazing track and I marvel how good it still sounds considering that was created on a DOS Program... But then again Impulse Tracker is a masterpiece, a brilliant piece of software.
By the way, my favorite track composed by Chris Jarvis is "Northern Sky", a real masterpiece. It is in ".it" (impulse tracker) format and can be found in the internet but not in Youtube. I will try to upload it
This program made me fall in love with making music. And this song made me wanting to make beautiful like this! Wow this takes me back :D. I made a lot of songs with Impulse Tracker. Unfortunatly lost a lot of them due to HD crashes:(
In the 90s I was using Impulse Tracker 2.16 (not 100% sure about the version number, the main color was blue anyway). I had a great demo tune. Symphonic/cosmic rock with a great reverbing guitar like Tangerine Dream.
So I did a search and this tune appears to be the one I am looking for (still knew it exists after more than 10 years). Must admit I am not 100% sure yet. How do the other demo tunes sound like?
Anyway, thanks for posting it. Good to keep the memories alive.
the other demo song for this version was Drifting Onwards...
as for other versions, I believe most of the demo songs were also done by Chris Jarvis, his modules are for example at "amiga music preservation" site
I've been a fan of Chris Jarvis for a lot of years. I make underwater videos. I shoot the footage and put it to music. I've used several of Chris's compositions but as I've not been able to find him to get permission I've not used them on my website. I also used some Nightbeat music and as I managed to find Carl Larsson and get permission I've put them on the website. On my channel in youtube is a revamped version of a video using a Nightbeat piece that I've rehashed myself on my Yamaha XS6.
thanks man! i don't know what we would do without people like you. this is so beautiful and reminds of school years and DOS computers. the grass was definitely greener ;)
Why does the description say this song is "almost forgotten"...? It's probably the best known song for IT214 users - since this and "Drifting Onwards" were both freakin distributed with the .zip of impulse tracker! I didn't really care for either of them much, but they weren't bad. Just not my style.
Well, it's my opinion... take last,fm stats, how many IT users actually listened to that song (more than once), consider how old IT is and so on... Still, I don't think it's really important, I just like the song and wanted to have it here on youtube... that's all :)
I just searched for this on a whim, so happy to have found it! What a great song. Always made me envious that I was too dumb to figure out IT, and just used FastTracker :)

Damn I was actually looking for Pale Dreams by Chris Jarvis, but you made an awesome video nonetheless, I'm glad I ran into it.
