I've been thinking about this for a while now. Back in the 2000s, someone hosted a lovely mini-site that had nothing on it but remixes of music from Alexis Janson's Zeux series of games (the original not withstanding). I think it was called the A quick forum search confirms it was called the "CV_Shrine" or something, despite covering all the MegaZeux releases.

Anyway, whatever happened to that? Is the music "gone forever"? Did someone grab a complete archive of every file in there before it vanished into the aether? I have a small collection of things from the site, myself, but I'm very curious about what else might be out there.

Cheers and thanks,
J

As an aside, I'd love to see MZXRadio come back, too, but I mean… between Nectarine Demoscene Radio and Modules.pl, it would probably be redundant beyond playing wholly original tracks…

I archived it a long time ago, but couldn't retrieve everything.

This looks cool, but I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error any time I try to download something.

Should be fixed now

Awesome! I was really interested in having a listen to these, so I went digging through the Archive myself. I found two captures that have more songs that aren't even available on the restored version you have here on digitalMZX. Have a look!

I was able to get a lot of the graa- files and mental-cv_heven.s3m.

The songs by MenTaLguY are the best in my opinion.

Man. Lord Kuddy, to the rescue, again!
You always got my back in the strangest ways, bro. Big cheers! ᗡ:

Wish I could return the favor, but Feoramund beat me to it, and how! (I actually had mental-cv_heven.s3m.)
Oh, God, my crap is on there? I can do far better, these days.

Thanks. I uploaded all of the graa music I was able to recover from those Wayback URLs, as well as the missing MenTaLguY track. Someone else should probably verify they're all intact just in case (I didn't personally check every single one of them).

Still missing:

• graa-final.mp3
  
• graa-timebomb.mp3
  
• graa-real.mp3
  
• graa-heven.it (Wayback claims to have this one, but the download breaks for me.)
  
• graa-ct32final.ogg
  
• zhaytee-cv_film_story.mp3

I wasn't able to get those either, so it looks like you got as far as I did. Always nice to see stuff like this being kept alive.

All the songs I've downloaded play just fine though, so they seem to be bitwise intact.

asie poked Kev Vance and it turned out he still has the zhaytee track, so that's also up now.
