The Novus Compo
This is my brand new monthly MP3 music competition, with the results determined by public voting. Check it out!
The Monthly Invitational Compo
Now defunct, MIC was an old tracker-music compo that I used to run several years ago. I keep the song links updated,
and there's still some great music there, so feel free to browse.
Modland
A stunningly comprehensive FTP site for tracker files. The navigation is a little tricky, but if you're looking for it, it's probably here, whatever "it" is.
The BarryVan Compo
A brand-new music competition from Barry van Oudtshoorn, a regular contributor 'round these parts. :) Very interesting
idea... Barry selects a source of artistic inspiration such as a poem or painting and gives you a month to write a song
around it. Then he pre-screens the entries, picks the top 6, and puts them up for voting for another month. Then he does
it again, 6 times a year in 2-month cycles. I know I'll be voting, and I hope you will too!
Trax In Space
They're baaa-aaaack! TiS version 2.0 opened up in July 2007, and has already built up a thriving and growing community of
musicians. The set-up is similar to a simplified Myspace specifically for online musicians. (Heh. Remember when that's what
Myspace was?)
The MOD Archive
Perhaps the longest-running active tracker music archive, with songs listed in alphabetical order and by tracker, song ratings and reviews, and a good search system.
CTG Music
Formerly known as Cute Trance Girls, this is an online music community that's been around for years.
MODPlug Central
Help for new trackers, new MOD releases, MOD scene news, message boards, utilities, programs, links, and the MODPlug Player. And that's not even everything that's over there either!
The Hornet Archive
With their new home on the servers of scene.org, the classic Hornet archive brings you demos and tracks from 1987 to 1998.
Lots of stuff here that you simply can't find anywhere else, including some classic tunes.

Gargoyle's collection of tracking tips and music.
Genshi
A portal site for the Apegenine, Camomille, Ronin and New Module Adventure music netlabels.

Maz's Sound Tools
The place to get pretty much any program or utility you'll ever need for writing MODs, not to mention a nice link section and a large collection of samples.
XMPlay
The development site for the XMPlay music player.
Scene.org
A fairly extensive archive of tracker music from well-respected trackers going back to the 1980s.
Modulez.org
Another tracking scene portal website, and a pretty good one too.
The Soundevotion Compo
A fairly regular long-running tracking compo. Contestants get a samplepack and 3 weeks to compose a song, followed by 1 week of public voting.
Nectarine
Not only is this a fairly good archive, but it's also the home of a request-driven online
tracker radio station. Just sign up for a new account, and you can log in and request songs right
from their archive, thus subjecting the other listeners to your taste in trackage.
No-Error
A demo-scene news site.

The Tracker's Handbook - (Part of MODPlug Central)
Cools of Hertz has put together this comprehensive guide to tracking, and it includes some good tips that will make your songs better, including a few tips that I submitted.
Bjorn "Dr. Awesome" Lynne
This guy was certainly one of the best 4-voice MOD composers back in the 80s, and he's gotten even better as a commercial artist. I own his "Wolves of the Gods" album, and it's spectacular! Also, if it hadn't been for his tracker songs "Bridge to the Universe 2" and "12th Warrior," I probably never would have discovered the MOD scene. Speaking of which, his "Revive" album features totally re-done versions of many of his MOD classics!
Andreas Viklund
Yes, this is the blog of THE Andreas Viklund from The Solid Energy Crew and Lagoona. He's not so active musically nowadays,
but all of his old songs are still up there.
Kosmic Free Music Foundation
In their day, this was one of the most well-known groups in the tracking scene, and a fair number of their tunes are still
in my music archive.
Elwood's World of Music
This page isn't run by Elwood, but it does contain a COMPLETE collection of his jaw-droppingly awesome music.
Don't miss this stuff!
