    This takes me back to a simpler time.

    A time of playing Total Anihilation and hanging on MSN messenger.

    Does anyone remember musicmatch jukebox with the jumping sheep visualisation?

      Oh god musicmatch was soooo good, it was my daily driver while everyone else was using winamp…something about whipping unsuspecting animals in the ass.

      This threw me for a sec because I was like “no way was someone playing Total Annihilation and not listening to that incredible OST”.

        Me and a friend used to love the menu background sound. Like a deep mechanical humming sound.

        We used to call it “indust”. My friend looped it for an hour and recorded it to minidisc.

        Maybe this is why I like dark ambient drone sounds so much even today…

      The Jukebox was better because of cataloging from online sources and library features. Don’t remember the visuals
