Fun to rewiev a rocktune, somewhat slow and weak in the beginning and alittle spooky, it later progress into strong and little orchestra feeling ala "phantom of the opera" its a really good tune. It is a really shame that the author somehow missed to cut some notes wich led to them ringing out a whole pattern at different locations although all this mess its a really great tune, It is a old s3m so i guess some commands could have been different then or so, i dont really know. The 09 pattern does that, and then 0A is REALLY great and leads my mind to the similar melody in the game "zelda III" on super nintendo. great harmony and feeling to this tune! The command E0B states to be filter of/on on amiga though it looks like he used to mute samples, cut note. It didnt work with FT2 though... :/ so lots of samples lie in the background for a pattern or a half. However he has gotten the drums ALIGHT! The piano vs the strings were a tad off tune though it only gave it some chorus feeling and it could be that the strings are with some fx making it bounce. the tune have great dynamics however and inspite of that major issue one can tell this composor know what he is doing.

Atleast, a good tune to rewiev, how exiting! slow dub gangstajazz scratch hiphop, dunno really though i think its dub? =) Really groovy though stale beat wich ads the sting into this relaxing though distressing dubbilydo tune, as far as the music goes it got some big references to cypress hill, its a little bit slow and well, SLOW! I can almost see the composer smoking prince joff and watching the walls as they bend as the ganjasmoke fills the room... This one is not a traditional TRACKED song since its made of loops and scratches, not so common. so, this is not elwood, and were glad it aint. This is not a matter of vibrato and chordprogressions, this is more a matter of beat, when placing the loop, timing and sequensing. The loops and beat fits exellent, the voicesamples are good applied. the rythm and harmony is in one sense very thin though aswell it becomes grand, hard to explain. This is another teqnique than usual tracked song and can easy be discarded as, "whoooooaaa, he use loops, cant track, buuhhhuhuhehehe" well, he used them VERY well and has gotten a great song in many asspects. I havent heard a good song for quite a time so im glad i stumbled over this one.

This tune had a soft feeling and a good flow but somehow id didnt exite at all, could be that the composer choose to use very few chords in a lame matter, all trough the song it were the same, no chorus, verse, bridge, nothing. The samples were all from Elwood it stated and one could hear a little glimpse of elwoods music in this tune though however it was a lame glimpse, not any fuel or spirit at all. At a quick look there is much commands and effects though what do they do? they ad the song some extra smoothness tough not atleast what one could do with this song, spice it up and it would actually be alittle better, for the samples, well all taken from elwood and not altered beyond recognition so well, they were fairly used. Some nice instrument settings though as stated, proberly elwoods.

No, no cigar. This tune starts of bad with a flute of somekind, it sounds alittle bit off, and like it has had some 10 beers or something, the tune progress into a beat with several instruments playing same notes, I say SKIP all but one and spare us the eardamage. the tune got no really structure at all it repeats patterns in 4, then some new boring melody comes and bores us more. I recall that i heard tunes of efenstor that actually are good so i guess this one is a old one and on his way to mastering the tracker and music. The samples are hideous, the flute I remarked on earlier are enough to delete this song right away, then there is a string who really cuts up those high hz! man that string was right from hell I tell you! drums werent no dream either. moving along to the fx, the ones used served no purpuse and this tune, could, maybee be better if the author had really used some volume, vibrato and panning. Though, i doubt it.

The music itself was nice and as the title hinted a little bit sad and out of hope, the song did not come up with any suprising chords at all, pretty standard and not much change so after some patterns one grew a little tired of it, however it was good, not bad. the melody was pretty good though there were now dynamic in it, asame to the rest of the song. The artist choose to NOT apply his name or nick with this song. This was not a song in heavily need of effects one could say though at least i think some more volumecontrol would make this smoother to the sound, the samples are old and crummy and I think this song got some years in the baggage.

Tecno trance remix of vangelis, if one should do a remix do a remix worth LISTENING to, we got the original, why make a !BAD! copy of it. nothing of interest inspite of the nice suround bells at the beginning on the tune. this is a below average trancesong with no intersting parts. Nothing special here, nice surround on the bells on the first pattern. use commands, skip the fake reverb on the handclaps. pan more, use commands.

Weird song, good song, though alittle bit fuzzy song. Some chords were brilliant though ended in a weird sence and melodies and such were alittle bit limping. drums were simple and fair, nice work with the 06drum. As a whole did song had good ambience and feeling though didnt get of though that could just be the point. Nice work with the drums, the samples melted to much into another and became wery "foggy" try to separate them more with diff octaves to get the more spread feeling so that the notes dont glue together. Homage to the ending! :D

The song as a whole had a point and a strife, it could prolly be used as in a game of a battle ambient background and the name "passing" are well named and is forged into the song, you could tell a composer by watching the names he chooses for the tunes, this would not be, wonderpup in wonderland :> however the song is repetious and alittle boring, the progression of the beat and chords climbs and fall though there is no climax or CHORDchange, there is pretty much one bassline troough the song and fades out with a chordchange. weird. Well nothing special here, no kewl commands used, use more commands godamnit you, try them and implent them were you think they fit the most, slides on the strings would have been kickass on this one.

Pretty good chip though i did not blow your head off, kinda said nothing. solid beat with drums and bass and the chords, however very flat. might have made good for a titlescreen or something in a game since it was very ambient and not irritating when i listened to it some times. The composer does prolly know much about his tracker, the samples were well put together to make the final blend, commands were scarse though well used and fitted right into the song as,,,, a glove?! yea.. =) needs not to be elaborated, the song is good and well balanced though no new starwarstheme.

The song stated, chinese dream, dream i dont know though it had the "eastern" scale and sounded fairly good, the tune was only 3 patterns long wich is ok for a chip, but hey, it would have been nice with some more patterns! =) drums were really good tracked. Drums, neat. other samples, what can i say, nothing that blew your ears. You can always fit more commands into a chip, vibrato, arpeggio, slides. Read the command manual and use them all! =)

As a musically piece this song was bad, some vocal samples from the movie, bluesbrothers and some drumloops and a bass. This genre is not my favourite though ive heard many a good piece, and this was not one of them. Well, using the 800 command like that is honorable, must have take a quiet a time though you could have done it instrumentedit and pan. drumloops really undynamic with no volumecontrol, bass BAD, vocalsamples handled pretty well.

lets start with saying this is a remix of "smashing pumpkins" single on 1979 with same name (cherry) The music were not very interesting, same chordstructure over the whole part, maybee smashing pumpkins fault though i think they made it more interesting so get the original. the different part hade new instruments though they were no bridge between the smaller section and when the instrument started to play and that made it sound alittle bit harsh. Really nice drums, as for the other samples you could have used more volumecontrol and vibrato and sample offset, not let them just ring out thesame all the way in the tune. There were some panning and volumcontrol though not properly used, more difference on the notes, in a riff, all notes should not be 40, that sounds like a minigun. reverbish thing on the bass were kinda uncool to, would have prospered from a bass that didnt cut so shortly.

The song was nice to listen to with a littlebit american highschool touch in some way, reference a little to "sweet home alabama". The chords are nice and the keychange in the end is if not suprising, good! the song could have ventured a litt more though maybee into some minor scale, that would be really interesting. and maybee alittle bit short. Not even 0k, more pianosamples were badly needed, as this was a tune with only 2 samples of piano. They were very abrupt sampled to so the groove kinda hacks very much, dont even begin to sound like a decent real piano. no commands used at all, not even volume, more samples, use volume to the different notes to get a dynamical song. pretty good work however with only 2 samples! =)

The tune got a nice progression, one can tell the tracker learnt much by either learning or listening. There are minor things i think of when i listen to the song, it oucld be done much better though it is pretty good, fill up with some other lines of notes. It sounds like a choir, like in a The tracker could have taken use of more instruments to fatten the tune up and use more comms, as always... ONE thing that I heard was that in several places he doubled notes in the preogression wich led to that they dominated all, well have a c-4 and c-4 and a e-4 that makes the c-4 to be very loud, either choose another note or volume pan the bastards down =) :cRim says: dont double notes.

Hehe, this tune was really funny and good, the drums were a bit basic and bad dynamics on them but the music is nice and there is a little jazzy part late into the song. It isnt superduper good but i think its fun to listen to. No effects used and the samples are bad, so i couldnt give the song good for that. the echo/reverb effect caused of the use of dupe channels and delay the diff tracks is a little bit annoying but gives it that chinacrazy Jackie Chan kickass feeling with a twist =)

The artist has created a dark tune with bass drums and some piano and strings eventully into the middle/last part. the tune is monotone and the melody dont fit all that good to the rest of the stuff in it. It sounds like it is a tune by a tracker that not yet has mastered, well anything, tone, samples. The samples are not good, and the tracker has not used lots of effects, a couple. some sampleloops sound really bad if they are used in a melody and the loop loops in diff speeds. The strings are way to sloppy, the envelope is set at low attack, and when using strings in fairly fast speed, OTHER speed than slow they tend drag and that is not good.

Well, This sux, the song is so boring, nothin happens and the intropart was very badly done since it should atleast BE a intro, if you gonna make a intro MAKE it good. There were not a single change in the bassline in the entire song, how do you manage? no insight in progression, or tones to use. So the melody wa mediocre and the beat was plain as a lawn and the bass well... so to give mroe score would be insane. :cRim says: learn to spell correct and juice up the songs. As in many cases no effects, no effects... no effects?! no. He tried to make a nice intro with many speed changes to make the acoustic guitar sound good and with soul, though it falied entirely and it sounded like you put a person who dont handle the body very well ;) so he dont handle the samples any at all. and the beat sounds flat with the selected instruments.

Future is there is pretty bad tracked and boring, there are no dynamics at all and the melody is fair but repetetive and the drums are really bad done, no insight in how you make drums in order to get a fair groove, though he maybee got the effect HE wanted so who am I to judge. The samples could be a lot better in 97?! and the lack of technique shows the level of this tracker, plain notes, no comms. As in many cases this song could be worth listening to twice if he had managed to get some panning on the volume on the strings so they "attach" better and treat the tones, they are so brutal. :cRim says: learn how to use the commands after the samples you choose.

Well im not sure the name #by ? of anarchy means that its by "#by ?" prolly more that the RIPPER of the tune, -cm- doesn't know who he ripped the tune from. The tune is from same named demo as the info in the mod explains. HOWEVER The tune is well built in the funk and rythm, its a good example of the genre since it doesnt do any steps out of the genre. The creator have prolly good knowleadge of chordprogression since the melodielines and chords sounds really nice. Though aside from funk and chords this song dont have any energy, no HOOK!. The samples are pretty good *POINT* old mod. The composer knows fairly how to use different commands though i think he is to lazy to use them. =) I have heard several songs wich have more spirit, more GO, he should used more commands and cutoff to make the tune a bit more wild, its pretty lame and plain as it is. excuse my bad english.

This is a nice tune, there are many nice chordchanges wich makes it intersting. The percussion is really good i think he would easy spare another channel on that though with one chan he really did it good, the drums arent that laborate a single basedrum wich could need some help by a snare and a hithat in my opinion. there is a nice breakdrumloop ion the end that fits very nice, why complicate it and do the rythm yourself when it fits so nice? so that was fine. I had a little trouble with the classifacation of the song, though i thought it was a little mellow ambient beatish, it reminded me in a twisted way of moviemusic, BATMAN?! =) so i think fantasy/beat is a fairly good shot. The effects was seldom used but i saw some panning here and there, the 3xx on the percussion though was very good, it got that real sound that those drums should have i think? the samples were fair, a big tune and lotsa average samples. the only thing on my mind would be the lack of bass, the only i can recall was a chip bass wich didnt sound so good, however there were strings that he ordered low so they would anyway outshine an eventual bass. Pardon my bad english :P

I like the beginning, i get a feeling im about to here something with edge! though the patterns later turn that picture, it floats out to a average techno/trance tune. THe tune needed a great hook or something to lift it up. The samples are bad and porly used, if he'd trown in some effects and stuff he'd got more punch to the song though better samps are a bonus, as again cactus prefer not to use effects. One thing that is tottally lame and only a waste is to copy tracks and duplicate them?! why?! i mean, WHY use 32 tracks and duplicate the bassdrum 3 times and other stuff the same?! i guess the only reason is to higher volume or make it look like you are real 1337 and use ALL the tracks, well we got speakers and we can turn the volume up and down so that prolly won effect us that much and it only looked like you try to be better than you are by posing with 32 duplicated tracks you now =) Hope i dont get flamed by you, im just giving the critics i think you need and deserve! cheers!

Well, the name were a pretty good choise to the tune. It tends to get a little boring with almost same bass trough the song and no melodie. The Drums were pretty good but the drums and bass could go if they were 20% of a song instead of 100% like here. Very repetetive and not funny to listen to. You more i think about the score the lower it gets so i think ill stop here, the song isnt all that bad, it got pretty good rythm, but i think that is all to it. You got many samples not even used wich is unnecesary. No effects used at all (I wonder why the creators even implented them?) The sample clips wich is only anoying to the ears and a low bass irritates you all the tune, lots of things makes this tune fussy, wich could be good though its only messy in this.

Well, "troubled lands" -extended version- by Cactus of Helltrot. The tune as it says is extended and from the authors text it means he has edited it and added a flute in the end, I havent heard the original so i cant compare. He uses the 32 chans fairly well, no overused double the instruments to look really advanced, he echoed the piano in some places by to get a echoeffect and that takes time and effort the piano got great rythm, not complex though nice. It tends to get a little repetetive since the main pianotheme only got minimum changes. There arnt any major chordchanges at all in the tune, it follows a arabian kinda scale, he played upon "C" and varied the different tunes in the chord. Also listen to the bass, only "C" all trough the tune, well a "a#" somewhere. The drums were plain and gave a solid beat though when i checked them out they were very basic. Overall a pretty good tune that easy could fit in a movie like the mummie or something though it is a little to repetetive. The samples arnt so special i think and the only tech he used would be the panning and echoing the piano by placing ghostnotes after the real, some vibrato on the flute, didnt sound very real though. The samples sounded pretty good and i think its fairly good to have done this tune with 500k. (i mean you can ALWAYS get better samps) This song is good composed though there is a GREAT lack of tracker-technique in my opinion.
