Links: Karsten Koch (and module music in general)

A module file is sort of like a super MIDI file. While MIDI sound quality invariably depends on your sound card, a module file uses repeating patterns of sounds that are stored within the file itself, meaning that the file should sound virtually the same even across many different players and sound cards.

The upshot of all this is that module files can be very, very small compared to MP3s, but can still deliver entire "songs."

Of course, that means that you need music that repeats a lot...hmmm...techno time! Karsten Koch is one of the featured artists from the game, Uplink. Uplink is all about hacking into computer systems, so I suppose the techno vibe makes sense. Anyway, try downloading some of Karsten's tracks - music to hack by.
