83. The world according to GERP
from Flashback, tracks from the past – ERICADE.RADIO Hosted by DJ Daemon
GERP 2022 was held in Skövde in Sweden and presented most of what you want of from a demoparty when it comes to music. You got chiptunes and modtunes off course. But also Virgills new "AmigaKlang" was used for some of the executable tunes. Great music, with many fit for platform games that never were.DJ Daemon wryly talks about the different tunes and what he thinks about them. Playlist: 00:00 ericade.radio – Time for another episode of Flashback – Tracks from the past 00:07 DJ Daemon: Last weekend, GERP 2022 ran in Skövde in Sweden. So, we are now back in the demo scene season again. I almost missed this one as it looked as it was cancelled. But here we are, another demo scene top list. 00:40 Morbid of Five Finger Punch – 0123 02:00 DJ Daemon: No, it's not the chiptune compo yet. But it almost sounds like that. Nice gamey music. Next up is place 7 and it's Optic of Planetjazz with Leadshoes, racking up 50 points. It sounds loungey and jazzy – me likey. 02:19 Optic of Planet Jazz – Leadshoes 04:23 DJ Daemon: Place 6 starts up with a sci-fi computer blippety-blopp and then goes ambient with pretty standard rythms.It's Amiga Junglism and Xtra Spicey Mikey and Teis and Spot of Up rough. The song is called 1st fracture and nabs 50 points. 04:23 DJ Daemon speaks. 04:47 Amiga Junglism, Xtra Spicey Mikey, Teis and Spot of Up Rough – 1st fracture 10:50 DJ Daemon: Getting warmer. We are at place 5 and Teo and Virgill gives you The Drunken sampler. It's a very classic Amiga-themed song that could have fit well in a fast paced platform action game. I would have loved in in Robocop. It get's 56 points and the comments note that it was made for the megadrive musicdisk by Titan. 11:17 Teo and Virgil – The drunken sampler 14:55 DJ Daemon: The next tune is on place 4 and is a parody of an old demo. It's Swedish Kefka of Insane and the song is called Data/Grill. If you wonder why it sounds like it was composed by a cat strolling on the keyboard, it's most likely because it was. The cat's name is Jesse. 102 point for a clever feline. 15:20 Kefka of Insane – Data/Grill 18:19 DJ Daemon: It's bronze time, people! Hyperunknown of Noice has created a song called “Goats and Snoblins”. That sounds like a name of a very hard game for the C64. He gets on the highscorelist with 109 point and third place. 18:36 Hyperunknown / Noice – Goats and snoblins 22:06 DJ Daemon: Silver position for Ma2E of Desire. Not bad! The tune is called Thrill 4 noise. Another fine tune that would have fit well into a platformer from the early 90s. 133 points. 22:24 MA2E – Thrilled 4 noise 25:09 DJ Daemon: I first heard of the combo Mygg and Bonefish, when they won with Brofists in Revision 2021. They're now hitting the first place a year later with “404 crew returns”. Really? Tried to surf to them, but got a page not found error. 162 points and I'll see myself out now… 25:33 Mygg and Bonefish of Insane – 404 crew returns 29:34 DJ Daemon speaks. 30:00 Slash of Tek – Sk0vde filler 30:46 DJ Daemon speaks. 31:13 Hyperunknown of Noice – Goathub 33:06 DJ Daemon speaks. 33:18 Hyperunknown / Noice – Goathub – Modem family 36:56 DJ Daemon speaks. 37:32 Vedder and Mygg of Insane – Bitflipping therapy 40:50 DJ Daemon speaks. 41:10 mA2E / Desire – Overjoyed by groove 43:45 DJ Daemon speaks. 44:08 Alpa / Insane – Got gerpes, hurray! 47:07 ericade.radio – We love the demo scene 47:09 DJ Daemon speaks. 47:35 Chlumpie of Bock – Brunhilde 49:18 DJ Daemon speaks. 49:54 Alpa of Insane – As we have waited 53:51 DJ Daemon speaks. 54:15 Curt Kool – Inspiracer 57:31 Ma2e of dSr – Kittys market stroll 59:32 ericade.radio – Keeps track of the past Production notes: A demo episode that I got almost no warning about. I actually missed it, but sprung to action and contacted the orgas that helped me sourcing almost all music. Two tunes could not be fixed. Other than that the two toplists and the extra .exe-modules make sure you get a great experience of what Gerp could was. Colophon: The title alludes to the book "The world according to Gerp" by John Irving, that I read as young boy. Tags: Gerp, Demo scene episodes, Demo scene top lists, Host: DJ Daemon, 2022
