Title: xeqtion Filename: XEQTION.MOD |
Posted Wed 2nd Dec 1998
Rated 8 / 10 |
| I liked this mod a lot !!! The tempo is up-beat/retro and the melody has a tiny feeling of spanish/middle-eastern.The whole song is kind of aggitated and jarring, reminded me of a Jean-Claude Van Damm movie:)Give this mod a shot,I think you'll like it ! Lets hear a stirring round of applause !!!!!This is one really cool mod ! The samples are really great,it's clear,and not at all tinny. If I wanted to be really picky I'd have to point out the ending,,,, it just dropped off the face of the earth without telling anyone!!! However,I wouldn't let that stop by from listening to it. It's too good to miss;) | |

| Was this somebodys idea of a really bad joke ? When I listened to this my first thought was "some kid was havin' fun playing with all the cool sound effects" !!! Nothing in the little track track jives.There is basically no melody,too much drum noise,and the "oooh'ing" and "aaah'ing" voices are totally lame ! Umm,,,while the "oooh'ing" and "aaah'ing" voice are lame musically,they are kinda neat from a technical view point. However,I honestly think this is worth the time or the effort to download. | |

| Pretty Darn repetitive! As you all should know, the abuse of repetitiveness is strictly punished here at the archive! This guy repeats patterns 4 times in a row! For the artist: You wanna know what kind of music this really is? Repetitious! Pretty good quality 8bit samples. Stereo playback. Some interesting samples, some techno trackers might find usefull for ripping. | |

| Beautiful acoustic/electric guitar work. Exellent melody. Not repetitive. A bit short tho' Seems to capture the story told by the artist in the instrument comments. This should be burned in a CD! Great song, very good for a game intro! The artist combines a bunch of guitar samples to create a realistic melody. Sample quality is good 8bit. Fancy stereo panning on the instuments give the song a cool surround feel. First time I see one of those Atari2600 samples (beeps) be put to god use! | |

| This song could have been very cool, but due to the restrictions of a 4 channel mod, some notes cut each other off. Nice speed rhythm. Pretty darn good for only 4 channels of work space. Looks like the artist has a lot of experience. He made really good use of stereo, echo and other effects(cool laugh and footstep samples). Alas! If only the samples had better quality and the song had more channels! This should definitely be remade. | |

| Well, the artist says its Spanish music, but I say its Mexican! This sounds like Mexican "Mariachis" playing at a Cantina full of drunk people. Good originality! I agree with the artist; not many mods like this out there. Keep up the ingenuity! Good original voice samples. Sound like spanish gypsies talkin' gibberish, not really spanish. Some good quality 16bit samples. Some panning on the instrumenst, even tho' the song doesn't seem to be in stereo. | |

| Aaahh! What trickery! With a name like "Buried in concrete", I thought this would be a nice heavy metal tune, but no! Yet another techno piece. Well, at least it's a good techno piece. Nice piano rhythm, not too repetitive, and not too long. I liked it. Your average set of "shared" samples. Seems like nothing new or original here. Standard 8bit quality. Some voice samples are hard to understand. Nothing impressive on the instument work, just a few panning effects here and there. | |

| Pretty darn repetitive at the beggining. Noisy bass. Very bad rhythm coordination on patts 28-33. The rhythm is not too attractive. The artist repeated a bunch of patterns for OUR dancing pleasure.... A few good samples. Ok quality on most of them. 8-bit sample files. No instrument work present. | |

Posted Wed 2nd Dec 1998
Rated 7 / 10 |
| This starts up as a really repetitive techno song with a bad quality bass beat and stays like that all the way to pattern 10. In patt 11, the rhythm changes and slows down. Then on 13, it picks up a pretty cool melodic piano tune. It kinda goes downhill from there. Even tho' some samples are 16bit, the quality is not very good. The techno bass sample sounds grindy and too noisy. As always, the cheesy voice samples are present. It has your basic instument work. | |

| A pretty captivating intro, nice chording with a neat bass line. The voice of the man fits right in. Nice chording throughout the song. Unfortunately repetition hurts the song and lack of a leading instrument to go along with the chording doesn't help either. There are some neat effects in the song, and as a whole the piece is put together well. The ending is unsatisfying it just kinda stops, without a chord fadeout or anything. Samples fit together well and are quite nice. | |

| The song has a nice build from the start, a mysterious intro in the rain. A piano then comes in along with a dance beat. Unfortunately the song doesn't seem to go very far and becomes repetitive pretty fast. More variations in the drum beat would improve the song as well as some variations in the music. I think it is the same basic melody all throughout. The ending is ok, it fades out the song. As for the samples, pretty good quality, the piano sample is nice. | |

| There isn't really any melody to this song. However, the drum beat is good, and the rhythm alone justifies this song a 4.5 score. It's the kind of beat that gets your heart beating in time. So overall not bad, but it would be more suited as a backing track for another tune. The drum samples are nice, but apart from the drums there is only one noticeable sample - which is not particularly tuneful. The song would benefit from a tune and some effects to go with it - it could be laid on top of the present drum beat and sound quite good. | |

Rated 6 / 10 |
| This tune has a good guitar backing track, and also a good lead sound. The tune itself is quite good, but it is too quiet (even for an ambient song). It could also do with a bit more variety in melody, it is just slightly too repetitive. The samples all go together well, and are all suited to an ambient song. There are some interesting distortion effects used on the lead sound. Apart from the volume problem mentioned above, there are not really any technical problems. | |

| This tune has all the basics - a beat, a melody, harmonies etc. - but there's nothing outstanding. The lead "tinkle" instrument sounds quite nice, but again nothing amazing. The samples all sound basically the same, and I didn't think much of this tune until I looked at the technical stats - see below. This is where the clever bit is. This tune has only 5 instruments, and only 9 of 43 patterns are unique. Usually this would make for a really rubbish song, but the artist here has put everything together so well that you would not be able to guess at either of these stats. A VERY clever MOD, if not amazingly tuneful. | |

| There are some nice piano samples here, which are used to play the main melody. This itself is quite catchy. The beat is good, and the backing tune mixes with the main melody well. The end result sounds very nice. The samples are great, and they all mix well. The effects suit the tune, the patterns are sequenced well, the song is the right length, there is enough unique material - no complaint, which is unusual. | |

Title: Ballad for Kela Filename: kela.xm |

Rated 7 / 10 |
| The lead samples, in order of "leadiness", are piano, synth, another piano and another synth. These four go together nicely to create a romantic "atmosphere". Some of the synth notes are slightly off key, but they are in the minority. There are some nice harmonies, and overall the melody is not bad at all (for a love song, that is!). There aren't really any effects included here, except for a few volume changes which are used to ensure that all the samples can be heard. The notes don't always fit together perfectly, especially some of the synth notes. But then, it's a love song - what do you expect? :) | |

| There are some nice piano parts in this tune, and the soft drum beat mixes with the tune well. In fact this tune is actually quite good. The mixture of bass and treble piano parts go well, and the drums complement it. The samples used are of a high quality, and go well together. Although there are no noticeable effects, the tune doesn't really need them. A nice piano-based piece. | |

| I don't know what to think of this. It's a casual type of music. Maybe some thing you might hear when you're waching a T.V. show when some poor sap gets dumped and he's all bumed out so he goes and sobs over a bridge and looks out toward the beach or some junk like that. The samples don't impress me but they might be to some one elses liking. They are all 8-bit samples. There are about 17 samples in all. The tune is stady all the way through and is not repetitve. It also has a clean ending. | |

| I would of given this a 10 if it would have picked up a little bit closer to the beginning. It could be a little bit more intence but all over all it's a brilient song. This tune is made up of 8 and 16 bit samples wich are quite good in a matter of speaking. The amount of FX is unreal. This song has good length and a good ending. Very good in my book. | |

| Well..this is yet ANOTHER version of the X-Files theme song. However it's not too bad. It starts out very smooth,and kinda boring,but then the drums come in a really rock the beat.The ending is a little choppy,and the whole song is just too short. But all in all...I say it's pretty good. The sounds are all pretty good. The drums rock and there are a couple of really neat retro-sounding effects. They might have spent more time with the ending,it's a bit too abrupt. However,I think it's worth the download.You be the judge;) | |

Other than that dumb drum the samples are good for thair size. This is a very well put together song. | |

| This mod sounds good only it needs better sounding samples and it's a little bit short lived. It's looped over and over and over and over! BAH! It's another one that sounds like Nintendo music. Herrmm.. let's see the song is the size of a cheezy sample. So that makes these samples extra cheesy. But it ain't easy being cheesy, If this song was aimed at being small then the person did a good job. | |

| This tune has a very dreamy sound to it the main background sample has a harp/water drip sound to it. There isn't much of a beat if any at all to it. This would make very good videogame music. All samples are very good for thair size apart from one that is overly used and sounds rather cheesy but it is only used once or twice so that fixes that problem. It's put together rather well if you ask me. | |

| A great techno song to which i could listen to all day (and all night for that matter). The song sounds completely in tune. If you listen carefully you could actually imagine what's going on after this sunset. The best techno mod I have heard (my favorite for over a year). The samples are a little old and sound 8-bit but it doesn't take away much. This is a must download. There are many samples but some sound bad. The song was made in 1995 so what can you expect. The beat is good. The song freezes up on some players but if you have Mod4Win, Winamp or ModPlug it sounds fine. | |

| This mod is very rich in sound, depth and texture. This is ough for studio music, tougher for mods, and damn near impossable for a demo, but it was pulled of, and nicely at that. Usually I'm not a really big demo fan, but I liked this one because of the the complexity. There is alot going on in this song. Any Amegia owner would cream on their keys to be able to produce a demo like this (well, they would have.)Channel-wise, this song was really well done, lots of action, lots of noise, maybe too much in some places, but good none the less | |

| The music in the mod is quite annoying. It starts out simple and annoying and really puts you off to listening to the rest of it, and it finishes off somewhat complex but still annoying. The samples are a sped-up voice of someone speaking in Russian (annoying) a coin falling on the ground or a loose board creaking (really annoying) and the title sample, some voice going FAAAAAAA! (the most annoying). I can't help, not liking this song. There is a good beat latter, but it doesn't do much to save it. Technically this song really threw me. It started out very simply, like some old demo done on a 386. However, as the song goes it adds in complexity and depth, so near the end you are hearing all of the channels (well, as many as your sound card can play) and the effect is quite nice. If only the music was better. | |

I have had banner ads that take more space on my drive than this mod. I can't for the life of me find a technical flaw.
