This page is full of MOD files as well as files of similar formats.
If you need a full low-down as to what MOD files are then you can look it up on Wikipedia (sorry!) but if you’re short of time, in a nutshell these are music files comprised of numerous samples and programming that dictate how the overall track is put together.
On this page I’ve compiled a collection of some of the best MOD tracks I’ve come across between 1990 and today, as well as other MODs that have ended up in my collection.
Some tracks are listed here because the tunes themselves are ace, others are just down to sheer technical genius of the sampling and programming.
To play them under Windows you can use Winamp but best results with ModPlug Player. To play them under Linux you can use … well, pretty much anything. Mac, you’re on your own!
A handful of the best ones:
Mental Floss – “EarthTones”
Kenny Chou – Menu Theme from “One Must Fall 2097”
