Missed your songs jobro, care to upload them again?

Here are some random stuff that I've been working on. It's MP3 format unfortunately, I don't want to release anything until PSG and DAC is supported.
Enjoy: http://midnightsleazy.se/dump/zingerdemo.mp3 - No post processing or anything like that, all instruments and compositions by me.
Comments are always very welcome.

Yet another proof of concept to show that a game's music could've been way better if the coders knew how to work an FM chip: "Grabbag," the Duke Nukem 3D theme. Compare this to the Tec-Toy port.

Great job !!! It sounds kind of like the original in OPL but with arpeggio. I wonder why ALL MD FPS games use GEMS sound system and have really poor music ?

I guess they didn't want to take the time to write a better player or try to make it sound good when they could make it simply good enough (if even that.) There's really only a few kinds of sounds you can't do very well on FM if you try, but a lot of Genesis games don't even go that far (*cough* 32X DOOM *cough*)

To me it would be more lazy sound engineers.

From the study I took on Gems it allows customizations to the instrument and pcm sound bank and adjustments on each possible thing.

It seems that people would just use the "default" stuff...

I'd say it would be lazy managers, not engineers. All who related to sound and music is usually freelancers or in-house workers who moves between projects (not attached to one project). And I personally saw such situation many times: managers recalls about music in last moment, gives you week or two to make ten 3-minutes tracks which must sounds 'like in these games', and you often don't even see screenshots of game, not speaking about game itself.
