Dr. Awesome is a perfect example. He did one of the best amiga mods like his "Now What" series but a lot of his after amiga music i listened to, has those screaming guitars with not so well suiting synths in the background. It seems that quite some went this way or they are going the orchestral remix direction. The newer compositions often are overcrowded and miss a typical amiga sound. I don't know they aren't just as enjoyful as the mods.
For instance if you compared, the mp3 medley of nowwhat with a nowwhat mod (nowwhat2 in this case), i don't think that things have improved.

Of course he has also done some good new music but there are similarities with other composers i've been listening too. I had a feeling that the music is less after my taste compared to some pc demo music, which kind of confused me first.
