"Point of Departure" - Necros

[sind82]

IN PERSUIT OF GREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spagettiization]

your the man. I have been looking for this for ages. :D

I used to have like 15 - 20 cd's with just this song on it for when i get older to reminisce, to bad i lost them all :/

[theirlivesagain]

this was on my old win95, cant believe that thing still works, plus this song defined me.

[Nuciphaal]

I'm guessing a lot of people my age heard this and were inspired to move into music themselves. I've got a room full of synths and other gear and it's all down to Andrew Sega, and probably actually this track. Effortless genius. I first heard this as the intro to In Pursuit of Greed and was hooked thereafter.

[ShurikenET]

I always loved this song the most! Ever since I first heard it, 14 years ago...

[OneEyedWilly5]

This guy was (is?) a genius....thanks for the music man if you ever read this.

[100107213]

@OneEyedWilly5 you are very welcome :) (forgot my account info for colofmus)

[durananrananrananran]

best. demoscene. track. ever.

[choleric75]

I wrote a short story in college, that in the back of my mind has a lot of Necro's tunes as the soundtrack. PoD, Mech8, Ubik, Martian Lovesong.

Sega literally inspired creativity inside me.

I got an A :)

@evandouglas1 you can use youtube2mp3 online converter (google it), and even better. The doom wad that had this music was from tlsxctf.wad Map01 (the last strike extreme ctf) ;)

[evandouglas1]

@100107213 You Sir, are a genius! thanks heaps! awsome! I'm going to download that wad again aswell for shits and giggles :)

[mxdeadlykobra]

@100107213 this song also plays in map04 of Armageddon invasion 2 for doom :o

[Eriksz]

One of the best S3M/Scene tracks out there

[dingofire3000]

OMG! I've been looking for this song for YEARS! I first heard it as background music for a custom level in Unreal Tournament and have been looking for it ever since! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

[ChuckBleedinNorris]

before you tube I spent years trying to find this tune. all i remembered was that in the samples it spoke about trains. eventually i found it, what a tune.

[PrekiFromPoland]

I often listen to this one while I'm travelling by train, and observing landscapes through train's windows.

Also, Necros was inspired with hight-speed trains, and that's why he made this song. Title says its all.

I talked to Andrew Sega a few years back asking him if he ever planned to re-do PoD with newer, cleaner samples. He said he considered it and even did a bit of a clean-up for a DVD about the Modscene a while back, but never a full track worth. He feels, as it appears many here do, that Point of Departure stands on its own, a testament to the fact that newer doesn't necessarily mean better. I'm glad he didn't re-do it fully. It simply is, was, and always will be amazing.

[bryceslsbryberny]

timeless & beautiful s3m... lot of nostalgia for me with this one

[psychonaut25]

this track doesn't aged a bit...oh memories...

[frenchHouser]

i love it. it's music from game Greed, more than 10 ago, i dont forget

[frenchHouser]

@frenchHouser i've got score cd with dome of green, I will always remember this intro from the game

[5hfifty]

This is an amazing song, I still listen to it regularly after all these years :) It'll always be one of my favourite pieces of music ever, nothing feels the same

[ovustarandus]

Used on the demo version of "In Pursuit of Greed". Best thing about that game

[MrIsotoxin]

ah good song it makes me relax

[redhouse79]

This is my favorite mod track, I first heard it used in an Unreal Tournament map called 'Catherine's Dream'.

In the sample listing it indicates it was made in ~15hrs in 1995. Good that people are keeping these things alive.

[reckneya]

I too listen to Andrew's tracks from when he was going under the alias 'Necros' on occasion.

This is one of my all time favorites by far.

[Prizm4]

I still have this s3m, great track.

[onokaikani]

genius.

andrew sega where art thou.

[sevinPackage]

@onokaikani Andrew Sega's musical career continues on:

search for alphaconspiracy

[tdw75]

Necro's used to track in Scream Tracker, not Fast Tracker... this was an s3m. :)

Necro's was one of my all time favorite artists - simply genius.

[Belace]

God, how much I loved this song back then - and still do. I've made an MP3 of it, and sometimes just listen to it in my car. :)

[GenyaArikado]

This song is geniously made ! It was made on a very good old music composer program called FT2 ! I also made music on it ! ^^

[bt370]

love this track! you can find the original s3m at The Mod Archive

[bozokimarkferenc3]

Andrew is best 4ever

[dschultz6072]

this is my favorite song by necros.  i actually put it on my wife's ipod she uses to work out and she ended up really liking it, and she's NOT the type to like most of my music.

[DJRevan]

Good to know that there are ppl who knows Andrew G. Sega's brilliant songs :) THX for uploading

[MPazRL]

Yes! I was looking for this track. Also heard it in the game "In pursuit of Greed". But if you download the demo now, they changed the intro...

[flaming22]
