Nice happy piano riffs to complement a good bass undertone. Good use of stereo channels too which is good. Nice variety of tunes too. Most of the samples are well cut but there are a few which I deem crusty. Patterns are well pieced together, but: Some of the drumbeats can be repetetive and a few of the leads are too 'out of place' for the tune... Strangely this seems to fit the overall style of the music. Very... mythical.

This has a nice bass riff which compliments a good variety of sounds. I like the subtle sub tunes playing around behind the leads. The tune is let down with a repetetive drum beat which could have been worked on a bit more. Very well pieced together but some of the samples don't seem to work for this particular style of tune. The drumbeat can get on your nerves after a while. The patterns have been tracked well with a good variety of effects used. A good intro and ending wrap it all up in a nice little package.

This tune has some good effects with ambient undertones. However it does get a tad repetetive and the build up is a bit (3 minutes) too long. Some good panning effects have been used and the ambience is well put forward by use of effectively placed samples... However the patterns are a little repetetive and the sounds are all hissy and crackly which on loud speaker systems is very noticable. If the samples were cleaned up and some variety of tunes introduced it could have been better.

This is a very well done piece of music which has a small variety of well done tunes in it. It all sounds very good. Some of the animal sounds do seem to detract from my overall enjoyment of the tune though. Nice bass and build ups. Some simple but effective techniques have been employed in this tune. In fact for a 4 channel modfile the tune is composed very well. There are no crusty samples. The main problem is that some of the instruments (the gong, the animals) can ruin the flow of the tune, but it still comes highly recomended.

While there are parts of this tune that sound confused and a bit of a mess, somehow it all pulls together in a not altogether terrible tune. It starts off with some good ol' heavy punk thrash riffs (correct me if i'm wrong) and changes at about pattern 34 to a more instrumental tune. This changeover is well done and adds that extra touch of class to the tune. Where this tune is let down is in some of the patterns which sound confused, and some of the notes being played which kind of hit a 'flat' note. Some parts do seem very proffesional, but some crusty samples and strange sample combinations let this tune down a bit.
