Somewhere in 1986 I wasn't on the Amiga bandwagon yet, still on the C128, however a mate sent me a tape of Amiga mods he'd recorded for me. This was one of them, loved it ever since! Despite that corny 'pizza' patch ;-)

The kids nowadays are generally listening to rubbish unoriginal orchestral type music on the playstation and other consoles and they are not experiencing the pleasures of individual original great music.
@1066gaz Damn right, video game music has lost its soul, it all wants to be orchestra these days, (and I blame 'brand' depts.) with no melody . Just been listening to Hybris (Paul Van der Valk) and Tim Follin was pretty good on Amiga as well, Bionic Commando, LED Storm etc.
@motox731: Oh my... You said exactly what I've been thinking for the last 20 years, but without finding the words for it. "Soul", thats it! That's exactly what it is... Music influenced by the instrument on which is created for...
This track was one of the first I heard on an Amiga, it blew my socks off! I can still listen to it today and enjoy it, even though it was made with only standard Soundtracker (or Protracker, not sure) samples.
I still have my Amiga500,still works after all these years..I remember the 1st timem I heard this,I had just got a copy of Crystall Hammer and put it on.
I had 5 friends over from school and for a hour they just kepst saying "Play that tune AGAIN!!".Good days.Now kids today just want to stab each other lol.
How fantastic that golden age of youth was with the Commodore 64, the Amiga, and games - and game mods - like Crystal Hammer. It was really something special to be a part of. Thanks so much for posting this. I haven't heard it in 25 years. Oh the nostalgia!
You have no idea how many memories this song brings back. I was 12 years old and had about 1200 games, but this song is the most amazing MOD file ever made for the Amiga. Still sounds amazing after all these Years!
One of my favorite songs ever!! I had a tape with one entire side dedicated to this song, playing on repeat. By the way, does anyone remember the Blizzard crack intro? :)
I was about around 12 or 13 when I first got my A500. My friend, who already owned an A500, made me a "care-pack" disk and this game was one of the first things to ever run my Amiga. (This amiga is still working today -- 20+ years later) I remember leaving the intro screen to crystal hammer open for an hour just watching in amazement.
The amiga kicked my CoCo II's butt. :) Thanks for the post.
Oh hey, one other thing about this song. Most trackers play this slightly slower than the original crystal-hammer application did. You need to speed this up slightly in order for it to be recreated accurately. I guess about 10% faster. I actually like the song maybe 15% faster.....
We had this track on a copy of Sound Tracker in the late 80's (Public Domain), I remembered it well... For me, this track an Axel-F mod and a few others started me tracking at the age of 10 or 11... I kept producing for over 10 years through high school and beyond.

I am 10 years old again! This song, like the Amiga itself, evoked a beautiful, boundless future. It was always a struggle to decide if I should listen to the song one more time or proceed to actually play the game :)
Wow.. just... wow...

That's to do with 50hz or 60hz. I got to know the (faster) 60Hz mode better, so for me that's "the right way."
