I guess I could start by showing off a track I wrote earlier this year. Let me know what you think!
Download it here! (2.19 MB) (https://mega.nz/file/4ip30LCY#yCe3SkMFAEyYvCkYnH0Z_TPVspGywHoLzfUv9zGVaGs)
INFO:
A fade-out was added to the end of the song in Audacity, which is also where the song's tracks were mixed and mastered.
These are some of the stuff I used while making this song:
E-mu Proteus VX (https://archive.org/details/proteus-vx), SmartElectronix Ambience (https://www.kvraudio.com/product/ambience-by-smart-electronix), Samples from kiarchive (https://kiarchive.com/), and ReaPlugs (https://www.reaper.fm/reaplugs/)
...just in case, here's proof that I wrote this song in OpenMPT:

Not bad, but why does it sound like it was downloaded from Napster in 2001? 8) (referring to the low-quality 96kbit/s MP3 encoding)
I'll be honest: the main reason why the file is of such quality is that I was paranoid that some robot would come by and throw the song into some kind of data set somewhere.
I can upload a higher-quality .mp3 if you want!
If that's your main concern, I guess uploading the original module is probably the safest choice - module files are obscure enough that it's more likely that there is some big-corp AI trained on "restoring" low-quality MP3s to some higher-quality audio than one being trained on working with obscure file formats from the 90s. ;)
That could work, but I'm not sure how would one go about dealing with the warnings and/or errors that may arise from not having all the plugins the original .mptm uses installed.
Many people use that as an excuse to not post their modules, and I really don't think that needs to be the case. Everything I make, I release as a module, no matter how many plugins it uses. If someone out there is determined to listen to the module, they will be able to locate all the plugins.
This track is so good and authentic you should upload it to as many platforms as you can to preserve it, MEGA will prolly delete it
Just a friendly recommendation ;D
