Honorable Mentions

ATTENTION: My website has moved to a new server at the address of http://www.novusmusic.org. These FortuneCity pages will remain in place, but will no longer be updated. If you came across these pages on a search engine, please click through to the new site. Thank you.
When I put together Just the Good Stuff, I had to be strict... so strict, in fact, that I had to leave off a lot of songs that were still too good to ignore. So, here are the Honorable Mentions, the definitive collection of tracker tunes that almost make my jaw hit the floor.

Want to recommend a song? First, check out some of the songs on here so you know the quality-level I'm looking for. Then, if you still think the song would fit here, e-mail me at [email protected] with a link where I can download the song from. E-mails with unsolicited attachments go right to my Trash Can, so don't even bother. Just send me a link, capice?
