I've had idea for making some other compilations out of ancient 'Aeuk' tunes for quite some time already. Actually originally I thought I'd make some ATQ compilations - not so "brutal" tunes ... but as it happens, I got bit different kind of compilation idea right now. Instead of going into less brutal, somehow I ended up digging into 1990s speed/thrash mods of 'Aeuk' and ... well, I have already bunch of rather intensive tunes under works. The actual riffs/melodies won't change at all, they will sound exactly as they did some 25-30 years ago - but them drums will change completely. Not necessarily the beats, but the sounds of drums. I've had fun with the tunes so far. Not all the old tunes are easy work though, I've had to abandon some tunes simply because ... multiple problems, even with doing some heavy tracker software work with tune or two. Well, that's just fine - because I've been choosing short, aggressive speed/thrash tunes only now and the idea has developed bit further, too.
At first I only thought about changing the drumworks, sounds, and mixing the stuff together bit differently compared to the mod days / sounds from 1990s. But then I thought that as these tunes are all instrumental, which was most often the case back then - I might end up writing some short, nasty, cheesy (or something) lyrics and record vocals for the tracks. The name of the compilation ... I have already the name with me, and it's simple and referring to freakin' distant Amiga 500 days in the late 1980s. :)
But that's all for now, I don't have idea when this compilation might be ready. There is no deadline whatsoever, though I have a feeling this might happen already during the summertime? Depends on inspiration and chores of daily life, etc.
