Title: SPACETiME Filename: space.xm |
Posted Sun 3rd Jan 1999
Rated 8 / 10 |
| I downloaded this one one to my system becuse I wanted to rip some samples from it. The more I listened to it the more I liked it. Some what complex music. I think no wait I'm sure you will like this. Fast speed. Notes are well placed. The drums are very cool. The samples are all good. Alota channels. Note networking is quite wide spread but doesn't sound like it. The only bad thing I have to say about this is minor. I think the main back ground sample can clash with the head insrements every now and then... again.. a very good tune. | |

| The song starts off nice with a little drum solo and gets in to a pretty neat dance rhythm. Unfortunately this song goes nowhere! It is extremely repetitive with hardly any changes. The only break from the repetition is quick vocals and drums and then it's back to the same old chord progression again. As I mentioned before this song could have been way shorter which would be better because it wouldn't be so repetitive. The intro is pretty good but the ending just fades out and slows down with the same chords. The samples are good, the vibe sample sounds pretty good with the tune. | |

| What is it - Magic, more like what the hell is it. This mod is completely crazy, you'd have to be totally out of your head to enjoy this. I can't really complain though, this is obviously not a serious attempt at "music", and I have to admit that using the tune from a nursery rhyme is pure genius. I can't really give it a high mark but it should graze any junkie's music collection. Pretty poor, but what do you expect from drug music like this, it's all about having a simple, but kicking beat and a crazy tune, there's not a lot else I can say. If you're bored of life then just get completely out of your head, crank up the volume, get down and dance to this. | |

| I haven't got a clue why Merlin felt this was worth putting in the mod archive. If you're going to nick a tune, atleast nick a good one, and atleast put the effort in to add something new or special to it. The percussion is simply laughable, it sounds completely out of place. He does atleast admit that the lyrics are "not good", but this can unfortunately be applied to the whole mod. I suppose he has atleast got the tune right, but that's about the only compliment I can give this. I can only describe this mod as tecnically poor, Merlin has just added a completely rubbish backing to an uninteresting tune. All of the percussion has been done unimaginatively, and there's no attempt to use diverse effects or any variation. | |

| After hearing the first few patterns I thought that this mod would develop into something special, so I was a bit dissapointed when the melody cut in. To be honest, this really sums the mod up, it has a nice beat and the percussion is good, but the tune, although it fits in quite nicely, doesn't do anything really interesting. Overall a pretty good attempt, this would probably benefit from a remix of the main tune. It would have been nice if the main drum line hadn't just been sampled in. I admit that it is a vital part, without it the mod would sound empty, but maybe it could have been varied if the beats had been put in separately. Apart from this, the mod is technically OK, the fade out on the main tune at one point is good and increases the variation in a fairly simple way. Apart from this there is little technical ingenuity however. | |

| To be honest there's not a lot of music here to write about, there's no real tune and what there is really isn't very interesting. Merlin hasn't bothered to develop the melody or put in any chord changes. I reckon the chords in the middle are supposed to sound "spacey", but to me they just seem random. To be fair, the build up before the end is OK and once it gets going it sounds reasonable, but there's just not enough variety, nothing to show that the writer has any real talent. Technically this mod is pretty poor, Merlin just adds various tracks to the pretty basic beat. He hasn't made any attempt to use any effects and all of the various parts are as simple as possible. I havn't got a clue how this got to the top of the hit ratings, with only 200 downloads and 400 votes!!! | |

| Simple Music Box-like tune. As the author states in the messages, perhaps good to fall asleep to, no pun intended. Nothing really sticks out as annoying, and the samples are all of decent quality. But at 1:17, it's rather short. Looper. Ending is very abrupt otherwise.. No really too much in astounding effects, but then again, this track doesn't appear to need them. Nothing out of place, layouts are good and sample quality is acceptable. Perhaps a bit more length would be nice.. The volume fades a little more with each loop of this track. | |

| You might listen to this as a normal listener and thing blaeehh! But realy there is a large array of instrements in there wich must of been verry hard to mix together with out probelems. I like this song. Honestly it doesn't remind me of sorrow but more of a spring day! I should of said most of my music rating here but what the hay, right? These are nice samples.. Nothing to impressive. They all have a nice soothing sound. The drum beat is also quite impressive. Never the being a soft song. I'm going to put it in a friend's home page for pack ground music. | |

| Highs Wow! when I downloaded this I feared midi quality sound in a sort song. All the makings of a miseranle song. It's the best song in the world I've ever heard thats smaller than 10K. The melody lasts just long enough to be good and the song varies greatly. One of the best parts is that you can set on repeat or single play and they both sound great. All in all a great song. Lows The file size itself is soething of a low since a file this small usually dosent sond this good. Lows Since the file size is so incredibly small I expected some midi quality samples. I was very wrong. The samples while not the megabyte wonders of some of the other songs I've heard were very good. | |

| Highs Wonderful tune and great beat. The melody is great if a little bit repetitive. My favorite part is the in the beggining of the song when instead of a solid drum beat he devides it up so it sound awsome Lows Like I said the melody is just a little to repetitive but he varies it nicely. These samples are some off the best I've heard in a long while even the drum beat seems very unique. I love it! If anyting could be said bad about them is that theres not enough. Add in a few more samples for some of the drum beat areas and this song would sound even better. | |

| There is a good drum beat here and a bass line - unfortunately there is isn't much of a melody. If you like this sort of music then it's very good, and I've marked it up for that. Unfortunately I don't particularly like this trance-stlye of music. All the samples sound very "clean" and are high quality. There's nothing wrong here really - the song is of the right length, there aren't too many repetitions... The song actually used 26 channels, but it doesn't sound like it, probably because of the lack of any real melody. Very well put together though. | |

| This song is good - it's got everything, a melody, drums, bass...there's nothing wrong with it in theory, but when you listen to it there just seems to be something that doesn't sound right. It's hard to tell exactly what it is - the samples, the style etc. - but everything doesn't quite seem to go together properly. Great tune all the same. The samples are generally good - the lead sample gets slightly distorted sometimes though. There are two things which make this a great technical song: it has only 4 channels, and almost every effect in the book is used. I don't know how it is possible to make such a good song with such a limited number of channels - but this artist has managed it. | |

| The drum beat on this tune is nice. It has a bass tune and a melody - this songs got everything it needs to be a good tune, but unfortunately it is soooo repetitive. The melody is good in itself, but is is only one pattern long and it just loops over and over, as does the bass. The drum beat is the most varied of the lot - not good. The repetitiveness is this song's main problem, but there is also one other major tech problem: at one point in the song, everything is slowed right down, and then sped up again. Done well, this can sound quite good. Unfortunately it is not done well, and it sounds terrible. | |

| This tune has the same bongo-drum beat all the way through - although bongos are unusual and sound quite good, a bit of variation in the beat would have been nice. The melody consists of a techno-style synth sample playing a series of low notes, without much variation. Overall the whole tune sounds very boring. This song has only TWO instruments - this would have been clever, except for the fact that it makes the song sound terrible. Whoops. 7 out of 20 patterns are different, so that shows WHY this song is so boring. If there had been more effort then this song could have sounded good - but there wasn't, and it doesn't. | |

| Not overly wonderful, but still with a hint of quality. The music doesn't flow very well, but it's key changes are sound. The music overall is not quite full, as if something is missing from it. The samples in this song are of a low quality. They sound as if someone has just recorded them. Despite the lack of effects used, the song still retains a good sound. With better use of effects and samples, the song could have done quite well. | |

| This short tune is seemingly meant to be a funny retro-flashback at old C64/amiga games like the title is trying to imply. With chipsounds and loads of good memories. Not that this guy hasn't tried to put together a reasonable enough,memory- refreshing melody, but to be honest it sounds as squeaky as my 82 year old grandma's morning cough... The low score is explained by the nearly unlistenable chip sounds of too high frequenzies and the rather unstable environment of the song. This may not be too obvious for "untrained ears", but that's the impression that I get after listening to it in detail. This guy have seemingly a fair enough tracking knowledge; but a lot to learn about "arranging"; -putting complimentary instruments together, and knowing what frequenzies to use on the instruments/samples, and most important of all: -When. Otherwise the the impression I get about his instrument organization is good enough; something that could provide great help for younger/new trackers to see what kind of effects that have been used, and what kind of easy traps you can fall into when you're trying to master two or more sounds at a time to create the basic melody theme. All in order to produce a listenable mod. Otherwise the cutted drum loop with good variations is above average compared to what most basic, "once in a while" trackers comes up with at the current time. I've also taken into consideration the four channel limit that the composer have strugged against, as the .mod -format allows at maximum. | |
