Ok, let's try this new feature, me too.
Digi demos are always been considered the B-series of the demo categories, any lamer can digitize a slice of sound at any given quality and release it as a proper "demo" (e.g.: I did it, easy peasy!). But the real non-lamers were used to pack some consistent and highly rated remixes which were worth of more of a loading (from the very prolific Hifi to the quality challenges against memory by Csabo).
During 1998 – one of the first "poor" years for any retro scene, Plus/4 incliuded – NST came out of the blue craning out from the top hat this little gem. It begns to trackload while FLDing a big scrolling, and the quality of the digis is high and LOUD. I loved it since the first loading, and used to run it dailly, as it usually happens with your prefer demo of that timerange.
Nowadays I know that BGM Ariola, Oxigen Studio and all the other marks were not cited randomly, given the (somewhat) promotional intent of that product for a real music cd release.
Probably a rarity for several of you, give it a try.

I had some vague memories about this, so I got in touch with Sensor, and here's what he had to say:
At the time, I intended this music disk as a kind of comeback. I parted with the demoscene in '92, when I had to enlist in the army. During that year, I was already pining for the Amiga, and once I got out, I spent most of my time with that machine.
Over time, somehow fate pulled me back a bit for the Plus/4 (or C16, I've always liked it better), and at BSZ's request, I produced this small music disc. He helped me digitize the music from an actual vinyl record (these songs were from a freely available promo LP - hence the demo's name). I listened to lots of music like this, I have a nice record player with a mixer, etc.
However, by this time I saw how much demos have changed, and not only on 8-bit machines, but also on the Amiga. I felt like I no longer understood these complicated codes, so my enthusiasm waned. After this, if I remember correctly, I drew a couple of logos for friends (Hifi, Bsz).
