Title: SEVEN MIRACLES Filename: sevenmir.xm |
Posted Sun 19th Mar 2000
Rated 9 / 10 |
| Wow, this song must have taken ages to make! It's 7 orchestra songs in one.. all of them very good, and it lasts for ages (almost 15 minutes). The music reminds me of the music from the games warcraft 2 and iniana jones - fate of atlantis. And it would work perfectly as game music, too poor quality for movies though :p All samples are 8bit, something which don't bother me.. but if you're choosy maybe you'd care. This style of music maybe isn't the kinda music you usually listen to, but you can't judge it couz of the style. It's a very good track, and you don't find many others sounding like this. | |

| The start sounds really 'redneck', like the music from movies where farmers are involved :) But it changes alot and progresses into a rock-song. The guitar samples is apparently sampled by the composer and he apparently knew how to use them. Well... the result is great, nice melodies, drums, bass, etc.etc. All instruments are 8bit, but then again... the song would have been pretty big with those samples in 16bit, so it's maybe for the better? Anyways, it's one of the better rock-tunes i've heard tracked, so it definitively worth a download even if you don't like the style. | |

| The sampletext says it was the composers first song made with just PC. And i think the song still og some of that old amiga scene-feeling wich we all like(?) :) I must admit that i have a soft spot for songs sounding like this, but that's not the reason i'm giving it a good grade, it's a very good song and diserves it. This song is a bit old, so that's more than good enough excuse for using 8bit samples. The start of it even sounds a bit like c64... but just a bit. It's much better quality than c64. This one is totally worth a download! | |

| The song starts our really weird... with a strange melody-thingy. But that changes to a really nice song! With nice cord-progression and good piano melodies. The song also got vocals, ripped from a commercial artist, but nevetheless it makes the song a lot more interesting! The tune's got a mix of 16 and 8 bit samples, and there's nothing wrong with the soundquality of it. The vocal-samples really changes the tune, it wouldn't have been this good without 'em. I also like the bass, piano, and some 303 samples which really sounds great. | |

| Powerful song, which sounds alot like orchestra, but it uses a el-guitar, so i don't think orchestra is the right classification. The quiet parts sounds really relaxing after the powerful ones. I really like those quiet parts, they've got a great atmosphere and the el-guitar totally owns! Another great song by a great composer! Everything is 16bit, and it sounds great in quality also! The drums sounds like they've been put a lot of work into. Actually all parts of the song sounds that way. I reccomend you folkz check out this song, and all his others, couz this is really something! | |

| The actual "song" part of it is good. The piano sounds nice, the chords are well chosen and at a good tempo. The drums could use a lot of work, though. Oh, and maybe Mick Rippon can make a distortion guitar sound good in a slow song, but this guy obviously can't! If there were lower tech ratings I'd chose them. Besides using cheesy, low quality samples the piano, for one, is way too unrealistic and in this type of music should sound realistic. You can definitely tell this song was done by a beginner. Yes, this song should in fact be "Sorry for Itself" and downloading it would be a waste of time. | |

| The song contains few melodic instruments while percussion takes up most of the song. The song has no melody and is very long and repetetive. It uses a simple beat, though which makes it very easy for anyone to dance to and what is there is very catchy, so that's why I rated it 7.0 and not 5.5. OK, the thing I hate most about this song, technically, is that the artist "cuts" the notes instead of using volume envelopes which, besides using less CPU usage, produces "pops" every time a new note is played. The artists use of panning is too extreme. It sounds cool on a normal stereo but wait 'til you listen to it one headphones! (And technically, I just HAVE to say this because I'm a drummer, the effect of the drums changing volumes is not cool and totally unrealistic... but I didn't take this into account when rating it.) | |

| arrg, who is this loosy guy? The original tune is a very nice chip but this looser has added some shitty drums that doesnt even follow the rythm. Someone should go and kill this guy. He really sux. pay honor to the guys who made the origianl tune. as I sad, the guys who made the original seemed to be profesionals compared with this guy. Everything thats added sux. Spare yourselves and go look for the original tune instead. "dj madog" has just chanched the lead and bass samples to a Drum sample. This is more like a rip than a remix. | |

| Oh, this was great. I have a "newer" version of this tune, and that was from 95 I think this one sounds better =) I have heard that slaze now is working on IBM, poor bastard =) This tune was a sucsess if you like low sample quality rave. I think slaze is worth a 7. right? Bad sample quality. Some samps are really cool and he has used most of them in the newer version of the tune too. Dont know if its in the MA archive somewhere. But slaze is cool. Download. | |

| Quite a spectacular song. Even though the lead is the same thing repeated over, the bass line and the rest of the melodies keep it in check. The song changes at the 1/4 mark and again at the 3/4 mark. Just long enough to get you hooked, but doesn't drag on. Very good use of instruments. The rhythm is just right, not too fast -- not too slow. The samples go quite well together, and i can tell a lot of effort went into this song. The intro is good, nothing extravagent there. The conclusion is superb, even though i've said fadeouts aren't my favorite. If i see more songs like this, i'll have to change my opinion on it. Really great song, a must have for any ambiant/techno fan. | |

| Good song.. a bit too slow for my liking. The melody gets a bit repetative towards the end, and the drums are .. different. I will say, however, that it surprised me because i can't stop playing it.. Basically, if you're looking for something new to try, get this one. The intro of the song is decent.. but it tracks on throughout the whole song. The choice of samples is good, however i feel the song could use more.. "oomph." Perhaps a louder melody, or another instrument. The conclusion of the song is generic. A fadeout is what it is -- Note to artists: Not all songs must end with a fadeout. | |

| a really nice mellow tune with some good parts and some parts that are not so good. the flute parts is really impressive, and the tune is not repeating or anything, but the tune is pretty "basic" and there is some minor misstakes. A small tune, the samples are not good, not bad. all in 8-bit. As I said the flute parts are really impressive. the hihat is awfull and I think it destroys alot of this mellow dreamtune. the strings are not that good either. otherwise, good basslines and rythm. No Effects used and that is a shame cause sometimes it ruins the build, some more channels wouldn´t be a bad idea. afterall, this tune is good and if u like slow/mellow/dream/ambient tunes, this is a possible download | |

| Very original and inventive techno, initially. This would have had a 9.0 if it wasn't for the mostly repetative motion of the entire track. Still worth a look if you enjoy solid techno with some great backbeats. Clean enough, initial intro is great. Although it uses mostly the same loops over and over, it has some nice changes with O.K sampling. | |

| Good piece, changes musically throughout. After the initial song, it pauses for a moment for another different sounding song?? I'm not sure if it was intended to be a 'hidden track' or what, but it is also a quality mod. Good overall tracking with minimal errors.. strong loops and good samples. The introductions to each song are good. | |

| This is a techno tune at it's simplest.. pounding backbeat with a vocal sample and few variations. Not much else to say about the tune itself.. except that I've probably heard techno sounding very much like this before. Converted to 8 bit samples.. mean and lean tracking. Simple intro, simple outro, with the basic voice clip in between. Not highly impressive, but it isn't crap either. | |

| This is a long techno song that I would listen to while working out. Like most techno tunes, this one was a little too repetitive in the begining leading to a nice transition to the main theme. The theme of the song was very soft (almost hard to hear) and made want to listen to it closer. After 2/3 of the song, a nice melody kicks in, probably the best part of the song. It included some nice poliphony, that is there were 3-4 melodies playing a the same time, good job! there were some interesting samples there, like the cosmic sirens which fit with the tittle: Lunar Destiny. The theme of the song could have been more highlighted with the use of another instrument (louder). Nice wahh effects there too. | |

| Pretty simple little tune... a main drum beat with repetative chords. Not exactly bad sounding, but nothing original or amazing to merit special attention. Simple as it is, however, it has a generally nice sound to it. Pretty much the same thing over and over with very little variance. Bland beginning, and same for the end. Some of the few samples are not of great quality. | |

| The file size is a bit large. What I see is that the music grabs you and takes you higher with a smooth fast paced melody. The chant samples set the tone for the song in the beginning. Then the music grabs you and takes you on a wild ride to the universe of techno! The samples are smoothly mixed so that you don't hear all the choppiness when switching from one pattern or "Riff" to the next it is all smoothly done. The beginning and end are great no abrupt endings and no shaky beginnings. Keep up the good work! | |

| The music had a good fast melody as most techno songs do. The use of voice and the overall techno feel is there. What I thought was neat at the end the author mixed defferent samples of the song together to give a different feel each time. The mixing of samples is excellent I cannnot stop raving about the technical merit of the song. Another plus is the use of voice samples. The song beginning and end gives a different feel. Which can get a person on the dancefloor dancing ... | |

| I personally think that XTD beats erverything. This guy seems to be able to compose what he likes without getting boring. Check this one up, it´s a definite masterpiece. It starts out with some nice synthpop melodies and a well done chorus. The next part gets really hard, consisting of heavy guitars, some sort of speed techno. After that a really well done piece of ballad style music cools you down. The last part is a fast synthpop. The whole piece is very melodic and varied. Give it a try. XTD is known to get the best out of 4 Channels. He proves it again. The sample quality is of course reduced because of 8 Bit samples but this hasn´t really striking effects on the overall sound quality. The arrangement is perfectly balanced, smooth transitions show XTD´s real talent. The melodies turn out to be quite interesting and striking. Not these standard quarter notes wannabe melodies. Okay. Enough talk. Download and judge by yourself. | |

Only thing i have to complain about is the flute which is way to high at some parts, actually hurts your ears, -warning- don't play loud! :) Very small song, only 14 kb. Very well tracked, and the composer has used lotsa effects to make it sound good, and it does work! If you're into 4channl mods and old music you should realy get this one. | |

| A slow, relaxing dance song with could be have been really good. Some parts are actually good, but overall, i don't really like the song. The intro sounds really weird, sounds more like techno, but after about 1 min intro it turnes into a dance tune. The song contains lotsa voice samples, done by the composer himself... no hard feelings, but his voice sucks, at least the way he used it. The voice samples are 16bit and makes the tune very big, and the tune would have been way better without those samples... | |

With that melody it would have been given a higher grade... Good use of samples, some sfx samples has been used, which makes the tune more interesting to listen to. Mix between 8bit and 16bit samples. I don't like the main string-melody sample though. Ok tune if you like dance. | |

| This song starts out really good with a very good guitar riff and fitting drums. It is the next part which is totally questionable. The composer brings some horrific piano-melody into the song. The melody in itself is not even good enough to be in ant song, and in this song it sounds totally out of key in most places. What saves this song from beeing a total disaster is the extremely good guitar-channels and drums which gives this song an avarage rating anyway. Not much to say here, the composer knows how to make good guitar riffs and a good drum beat, which is fitting. Samples are in most cases quite clean and free from noise. Some loops could have been better and smoother but this can not make up for the bad piano-lead unfortunately. | |

| A little tune with lots a voice samples ripped from DjDados tune Angel. The voice reminds me very much of Enya. This tune is very basic, strings, piano and bass and hihat. It´s a good song but it´s nothing new. but without the voicesamples this wouldn´t be much of a song I´m afraid. big and robust!! 1500kb zipped, the samples are ok. good duration at 04:36. Really impressive piano that fits very good into the song. one thing that is good is that they made the voice "fit" in the tune, I have heard many tunes there they have voices and they really don´t fit into the music, but in this tune it fits really good.

| This piece has a rather good chord pregression, however it feels a bit tame at times and could have been elaborated more. I don't know if the chords (3 chords, 3 samples) were sampled from a synth or taken from an existing song. I prefer one sample where you put chords individually, especially nowadays when memory-issues are no longer in most cases a problem. The melodies accompanying the chords are sadly not good save for a few patterns and they should have got a bit more attention before release. A few soundeffects are totally malplaced and should have been removed. The result is a rather unimpressive mod. This is this songs major downside. The composer doesn't use effects more than occasional volume changes and speed changes. The volume changes are too few and the result is that the composer must use identical channels which makes the experience of listening to the mod a painful one. Some samples are of good quality but most samples used are too boistered. It is better to use volume effects and it doesn't make the samples sound terrible. Technically this is far from being a masterpiece. | |
