The Company & Vision Factory Amiga Cracktro (Vroom)

Nice cracktro by ROG for Vision Factory/The Company for the game Vroom, the music is: Random Voice - Monday and I believe it's from 1991.

You'll notice in the comments some discussion regarding the incorrect note at 1:08, I found a comment about it on Random Voice's website (http://www.fladen.net/), here is the explanation:

"Thank you for your kind words and interest, and please excuse me for this late reply.

Yes I know the "note" in Monday sounds disturbing :-), but this only appears when the module is replayed in the Company/Vision intro.

I was actually surprised myself when the tune showed up in this intro, since I had no prior contact with these guys. Still I am thankful for it as they helped spread the tune.

Regarding the "error", I think it is because of an unfortunate combination of the portamento effect and a replay command set to restart the tune, not at the first pattern, but at the second.

The portamento effect "slides" the sound from one note to another over a given amount of time. When I listen to the tune in the intro it does not jump back to pattern 1 but to pattern 2. The lead in pattern 2 starts with a portamento effect originally designed to continue a note slide from pattern 1. When the song instead jumps from the last pattern to pattern 2, the new portamento "distance" between the two notes becomes to wide, and thus the little error i believe :-).

The real truth is that Monday was never completed. It was to short and the last pattern was not ment to be included as I thought it collided with the flow of the tune.

When the tune suddenly was spread, someone may have made an extended version (because the tune is really short) just copying the patterns to extend the module or by setting a replay parameter with a wrong pattern adress. It could also be the player in the intro interpreted the first pattern as 0 and not 1, but I really can't tell for sure.

Anyway, it is good to hear Monday still brings back fond memories for you as it is."

I have heard that Edvin Fladen (Random Voice) died not too long ago, and what a sad loss, but the memory lives on in 1000s of Amiga fans and through this awesome piece of work.

It sounds fucked up because it plays one extra pattern (pattern 00) before the loop and the effect commands between the real last pattern and the extra pattern won't fit. The real loop should start at 1:08 but now it does at 1:16. Maybe the mod player in the intro doesn't understand that the song starts with pattern 01 instead of 00 (?)

But otherwise a GREAT intro with lots of memories :)

UserSupportStaff: Random Voice did at least about 20 modules :)

Thanks for this insight... To be honest, I need that screwed up bit to be intact, else it's just not right!

[jci10]

I wonder if Timbaland will rip this music off?

[ppknight01]

I'd say there is a fairly high possibility, haha. Shame about that really, but at least it turned out to be quite popular, perhaps we're not so underground as we thought...

@ppknight01 What song are you talking about?

[ppknight01]

@nor94 I've just added some stuff to the description as well, pretty much the final answer on this mystery

I remember every note exactly even it was 15 years ago. When i was going to Elementary school i always play amiga after the school i was running to play it. and first thing i did was placing the vroom disk to my amiga 500 with max sound in our old Sony TV. That was great !!  (Two speed down and one speed up quickly:) ) Now im going to make this cracktro a ringtone for my Iphone 4s :)
