my friend found a set of 3.5" floppies with his entire archive of
mod/demoscene music all snagged from Toronto-area BBSs in the early
90's.

So much nostalgia! Thanks so much for posting this. I definitely
recognize some of those MOD tracks, that ANSI art, and those demos.

For those that weren't around, the demoscene was absolute art form.
The idea was to get as much graphical performance as you could out of
standard chips. The graphics were all generated in realtime. 64K
intros had to fit all those visuals, sound, and programming into a
single executable that was less than 65,536 bytes.

Aha! Thank you! I was just recently scratching my head trying to
remember what 3rd party mod/xm/s3m player I used to use. Cubic player!

The demo scene still exists and has never died. Check out youtube to
see all kinds of modern and retro demos. Here are 2 of my new
favorites I found this year.

I love those kinds of musics. Anyone know where I can find more like
that?
