Title: techno chip Filename: zadan1.xm |
Posted Sat 19th Dec 1998
Rated 5 / 10 |
| This song is again a "chipsound" song and i'd reilly like to know if the artist(s) are become as bored as i am. The song further is buildup good, but it misses some affection to become "that song". I think that all the instruments were used before in other musicpieces and most of these are quite noisy. Further the song is technically good, but there are sometimes these noisy parts where everything is sliding over eachother. | |

| I love this song. Totally funky sample that is blended in very well with the rest of the song around it. Unfortuneatly, the song is way too short and the song does a 360 near the end when it suddenly changes to , well, what seems like a completely different song for about fifteen seconds at the end. That would be fine if it flowed nicely, but in this song, it seems to take away from how great the song was prior. As I mentioned, the funky sample is blended nicely, and allows the song to flow well. There is a loud deep snare sound used throughout the song that is far too loud and masks the underlying rhythm of the song. Other than that, the song is put together well, and is enjoyable to listen to. | |

| Very good musicianship here. The song however, begins with this intro bit that builds up and builds up making one think they are about to witness an enormously furious techno song, only to be left hanging when the soft piano starts. Once again the build up begins, and leads into the song. The song itself lacks originality, a common criticism I guess, but nevertheless, is well done for a dance tune. The technical part of this song is very well done. My only criticism is the slowly oscillating note that is used in the beginning of the song to build up an intro, continues throughout the song, giving an effect of some really bad fake wind sound. I find it distracts from the rest of the song, and think it would sound better used only in the intro where it works really well. | |

| While this song may lack a great deal of originality, it is certainly tight. The music is clean and the song works well. There are lots of areas within the song that the composer adds little melodic 'extras',which is probably what saved this song from mediocrity. The song follows a logical sequence and is enjoyable to listen to. Tech-wise, this song is tight, just as the music sounds. The musicianship is impressive, and one can tell upon listening that the composer has a great deal of musical background. My only criticism here, is that in certain parts of the song, the volume seems to quaver in and out unintentionally. It is ever so subtle, and really doesn't affect the overall delivery of the song. | |

| Another song in a continiously form of chipsound songs and thisone is reilly not that bad. This song is reminding me to a very, very old compuergame i played on the first compuer i ever had, the ZX- Spectrum. This song is put well together, only i am getting a heart-attack from allways the same samples in different songs. If i hear to much of this kinda music my nose is itching and then i must sneeze, is it lying on me or am i b-come allergic ! | |

| Pfeew, after all the songs i heard (chipsound songs) thisone is a relieve to the ears. The song is well put together and the "guitar" and "synthesyzer" are doing the most in this piece of fine music. I think the artist is going soon make a refreshing start what not is bad at all, consider the previous songs he made. I just want to say that you must (if you want ofcourse) keep on making this kinda songs, b-cause it fits you better. | |

| Well, the ugly chipmen are busy again to create a song into i don't know what ! I find thione not good in totally, but the setup is just right. The instruments are fine but are becoming anoying when put in in repeat. The artist(s) should not use these same old samples again and again. It becomes finally an attack on the ears of the listeners. Further i would suggest to pump up the beat in this song, it now has allmost no beat. | |

| Tried to make a cover from Europe's "The Final Countdown" and i find thisone a bit amusing if you hear again the chipping sound in this song. The cover for itself isn't coming close to the original, but nice done. The artist has struck again with a nice cover and is trying to come close to the original, but only a few instruments are coming closeby. Further this song is put well together and good tuned, so no overruling samples here ! | |

"i always read donald duck" and do you also have a ducky in the badtub ? ;-) Nice work! No strong bass, not whatever, just a relaxing tune. Play thisone in a loop and you will see donald, his neffues and all others twirling before your eyes, but you then must close your eyes if you would see them. | |

| In this ong there is one sample who is overruling some other samples, it's the clcking sound. The other samples are all tuned in the right way, but it seems to me that some are just a bit too loud. If you like a bit of trance ans a bit of techno, then you like thisone. A firm and strong bass is keeping this song up, only i would make that "clicking sound" less louder. Further i would say that if the artist is doing that, that then this song will rise up. | |

For the rest thisone is reilly the worth for download. This artist is having the "tracker" under it's finger. There is in the beginning the very good intro, followed by a thunder and then a strong beat. The stereo effects are very good and strong put in line. | |

| Another chippy sounding song, but thistime he's putting more work in this song and the artist seems to make his creations longer. Good job !!! But i have one question to ask ? How did u come up with the title ? b-cause i didn't saw midgits and didn't hear them aswell. Need i say it over and over again ? The artist must seek other samples for him to use. For those samples look at http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~aka/index_e.html (AKA),and here you can find a lot of new samples, all in XI format. | |

If you like the original song then u will like thisone too. Even the artist has used again his same(old)samples, this song is reilly one of the better productions of many. I am missing for the most the intro, so if the artist is making an intro for this, the song is interesting enough for a higher grade. | |

| Again a new one of this artist, but now there is a chipsound who is a bit too loud. Further this is a nice song compared with some other works. I don't know this artist, but ido know his works and i know he can do it better. The artist has a cuttoff complex i think, because the ending comes suddenly.The break (without beat) in thisone, nearly at the end, is well placed but then... Yup, the end !!! If he is renewing this song to make it longer then the rating is flying up. | |

| There is a roling sample in this song on one channel who is anoyingly. Also the rest of the samples are not reilly good, but i cannot put them right in place. The song for itself is on the short side, so you must play it in a continious loop what finally is becoming a bit anoying. The artist reilly should consider other samples. I only find the "trumpet" sound good placed in this song. Just when i heard the tune i thought that my ears where jumping off my head (hehehe) ;-) | |

| Highs The song follows a very logic pattern and has some wonderful beats Lows Well the song has basicly three or four parts that are repeated through the song. While each is unique they do not vary in each section so that you begin to wonder if the song isn't skipping. Also the song ends so abruptly that you don't realize another has started Well the samples are quite nice actually I enjoyed some of the guitar and sfx, but they all give you a feeling that you've heard them before in some other song. Still it is very enjoyabe for background music. | |

| Highs Wonderful song the music seems like something done by David Lanz. The flowing notes and use of sound fx to tell the story in the song was great. The picturesque idea is quite clear in the diffrent sections Lows While it is very well organized some of the sections seem a bit like fluff added to fill time I can not give this song better than this because of the annoying use of the reverse piano sample that seems so incredibly generic that it seemed to ruin it for some of the other samples. The other samples were all very good, but lacked the originality of some of the other songs I've heard. | |

It started of kind of quiet then dragged the listener by the heels into heavy rock. This track had a nice simple tune which I liked. Some nice electric guitar effects in there as well. Future Assassin have come up with a good track here, well done. I especially liked the chorus in the middle. I have absolutely no critiscms about the technical side of this track. A lot of effects were put to good use here, especially the guitar effects. Nice one.... | |

| The first thing that hit me was the absolutely beautiful flute lead. The music is wonderful, it gave me a happy/sad paradoxical feeling, go figure :). The chords and blending etc. were great. This isn't my favorite by Dr. Awesome, but I really suggest you check out some of his other stuff. He's GOOD! As much as I like him, these instruments are rather old and dirty, he does make really good use of them, though. The effects were okay, he didn't use a whole bunch of them, but I'm not complaining. His one flute sample was great. | |

| The song starts, you hear some deep soft music, "probably some lame easy listening music" And just as your about to press the stop button and download a different MOD, Cortouchka's melody hits you without warning, and once you hear that first riff, you're not going to want to stop. With Cortouchka, Moby has you exactly where he wants you, and it's obvious in the way he structured his song, that he too is aware of this. This song just doesn't relent, every time your used to one thing, the rythym picks up, or he takes the melody even further. The only part of this song that I found to be weaker than the rest was the ending, and that doesn't matter much because by this point, you have just sat through some 6 minutes of rockin' music. A definate keeper. This is the best use of guitars I think I've ever seen in a MOD. aside from sounding a little dry at times, they really worked wonders for this song. the perfect mix of treble and bass. Moby has certainly earned a reputation for knowing what he's doing. Cortouchka remains true to that. | |

| It's songs like this that give techno a good name. This song is practically designed to raise your heartbeat, but unlike a lot of techno, it doesn't rely on that. along with a pumping rythym, it has one of the most kickass melodies I've heard in a techno piece lately The song suffers a bit in a couple parts where the rythym changes to this slow kind of Industrial type segment and then goes back to being fast techno again. now this wouldn't be bad by itself, but it just doesn't mix well. The only exception is near the end, you think it's going to go back into the industrial segment, but does a very nice bridge right back into techno. This song is definently one that'll stick in your brain for a very long time. The volume, panning, the whole flow of the song works perfectly. In fact, it's not till' listening to it probably 30 some times before you relalize some noise in the samples, but even then it doesn't detract from the enjoyability of this piece. | |

Rated 5 / 10 |
| Aside from some slow parts at the beginning and end, the song flows well. It's very catchy and addictive, and in my opinion, a decent version of the famous Cantina Band music. The beginning is annoying, it just has Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan talking to each other with a half-assed, one instrument version of the theme song playing in the background, then all of a sudden, the cantina music starts up, that gets ya groovin'. The song is laced with Star Wars sound files, all of which are from the famous Cantina scene. The sounds for the most part don't do much for the song, but there are at least 2 instances when the timing is JUST right, and it just makes you say "woah!", namely "I'll be careful" "You'll be DEAD!!" I say if nothing else, download this song just to hear that line, you'll be glad you did. While the music is cool and addictive, I will not lie to you about the sound quality. practically every sample is very low quality. the song is filled with .Wavs from the movie but the music is too loud, and you barely hear most of them. Like I said, there were times when they got the timing perfect, but that was just a small fraction of the sound files in this song. | |

| This song is VERY unique in that you can either hate it or love it. If you're like me and can't help laughing just from hearing someone say "Monty Python", and then remembering a scene from either the TV show or one of thier numerous films. This song will definently appeal to these people, chock full of hilarious .wavs from the TV show. Monty Python and Spam is definently a lethal combination. On the other hand, there is music in this MOD, and this is where the "hate it" part comes in. This is obvious the work of someone who just wanted to get a laugh out of others. The samples used for instruments don't work, and neither does the melody they create. As funny as it is, even the hilarious Monty Python .wavs are very fuzzy and hard on the ears. The same thing can be said for all of the samples. This gets annoying very quickly and after listening to this song too much, even the MP clips just come off as annoying. the .wavs don't match up to the music at all, and considering that this song primarily focused on the sound files, it isn't appropriate that the music overshadows it at times. | |

I love it! :-) Also the music has a GREAT organization to it so that know part lasts to long that it becomes repetitive. The only problem is at the end the music seems to cut off a little to quick. All in all though a wonderful piece of music well worth the download. The samples while very good seem at some times to be slightly generic sounding. This doesn't really hider the music though. It just adds to the camp feeling of the song. Best of all is the way the instruments are layered so none of them overide the melody. | |
