Make sure you’re sitting down before you open this link, as seeing this many tracks at once might be too much for a lot of Alek Szahala fans. After all the recent requests for old material, Alek has put together an amazingly comprehensive list of releases from the earliest tracker days to current work-in-progress tunes. I can’t imagine how much time this must have taken – all we can do is thank him for making such an effort.<\/p>\n
I’m a big fan of his old Goa style, so I’ve been checking a lot of that out, as well as listening to his older trancy .xm tunes. As you’d expect, there are also some real gems in the freeform section, with tracks like Phobos, Jinnaya <\/em>and Luna <\/em>online for the first time, and his truly amazing edit of Vengeance <\/em>is up there too. Talking of Vengeance<\/em>, check out Glacier Queen <\/em>for a lovely jazz lounge version of the piano melody. The one main regret is that Freezing Clouds <\/em>has been lost, as that was really a special tune…<\/p>\n Congratulations to Alek too for the release of Crystal Thunder <\/em>on the Spacesynth Revolution<\/a> <\/em>compilation. It’s got a really nice MOD feel to it, and from the preview it sounds like there are some other good tunes on the CD.<\/p>\n
