    Based on music preferences here, this music(instruction?) seems
    appropriate. I love this little trance and commentary. I listened to it
    over and over for quite some time.


    That reminds me: time for another visit to https://modarchive.org/ ;-)

    To be sure, I don't know what genre any of the songs from there I
    listen to fall under trance or electronica or whatever

    [I've never been good at music genres: as far as I'm
    concerned, if it has a strong beat, it's 'rock' to me,
    if it's got lots of violins its classical, if the
    trumpet is pre-eminent, its probably jazz, and if its
    country I'm not listening to it ;-)]

    but a lot of the tunes I've grabbed from there have become some of my favorites. Whenever the 'random algorithm of randomly picking random
    songs from my random assortment of random tunes' pulls up one of those
    old tracker tunes, I immediately start bouncing to the beat.

    Some of my favorites include (but are in no way limited to):

    - Ascent of the Cloud Eagle by Necros https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_player&query=34073

    - Guitar Slinger by jogeir-liljedahl https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_player&query=42560

    - Wanderlust by Leviathan https://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_player&query=47096

    I've got a collection of Mods as well, those 3 included.
