Title: Allende Filename: 4light.xm |
Posted Tue 7th Dec 1999
Rated 5 / 10 |
| Not sure about this one; it lasts just on six minutes, and I couldn't clearly pick up any melodic definition. Although most of the patterns are unique, the same things kept repeating over making it somewhat dull and tedious. Very little direction, quite an ethereal piece which doesn't seem to be able to hang together. More form cohesion, and a clearer structure is needed here. Not too much wrong with the samples used, the voices were well utilised within the framework of the song. The effects were simple but effective; glissando and portamento were quite good in the context of the overall output. Nice instruments, shame about the tune. | |

| Quite simply outstanding, one of the very best mod compositions I've ever heard. Four minutes and 18 seconds of some of the finest music ever to grace a set of speakers, Nightbeat has excelled himself with this one. Tuneful, melodic, just about perfect phraseology, everything about it screams beauty. I cannot fault this in any way, and it will always have a place in my music library. A must download. Nothing short of perfection in this department. The samples are superb, and used with just enough effect to send you into another world when you listen to them. The sounds are genuine, a very real sense of them being physically played rather than just used and tweaked to suit. The choice of instruments are very complimentary, with harmonies being just right. Excellent. | |

| Wow! This is a beautiful relexing ambient track,a must-download for everyone.. It starts with a very good intro with some sound effects of rain and thunder,then comes in a very cool slow beat. The melody here is pretty simple but it is very powerfull and it mixes very well with the beat and chords. This track has some very original sounds ,really good ideas and excellent arrangement. This is definitely a professional's work :) Well done! very original samples were used in this track..Most of the samples here are 8-bit but I didn't even notice that before I checked them! The artist used a lot of echo and effects on them ,which made this track sound very relexing and calm.. really awesome work was done on this track.. download it now people! | |

Title: Rise of the Triad Filename: st3_rot.it |
Posted Mon 6th Dec 1999

| Wow is what comes to my mind when I first hear this. This is really REALLY great! it starts off as an eerie spooky sort of tune that sounds like something you would associate with the game Requiem. Then it breaks into a sort of Orchestral/Pop mix where it builds up to a mid climax. Then... eerieness again as the drumbeat kicks in with the eerie chords. After some polished bass which REALLY sounds like its from the game Rise of the Triad! Another Orchestral climax builds up. then it slowly, but surely, fades away.... Any ambient or spooky lover will enjoy this. I encourage you ALL to hear it! As with all of St3vor's songs, there is almost zero complexity. But really that is irrelevant. St3vor really knows how to put the point accross in his songs. And he looks not to care at all about how it is done. But it is done well. The song is built mainly around 2 melodies. Im sure that if it had more variety, it would have scored 10, but I give it a 9 because of how great it sounds. The strings and chord samples used here are a definite MUST for all trackers. Blended together in the way St3vor has here, they will make a very significant difference to your music. This song is technically very simple, but it's bluddy good for a change of pace. | |

| This 4 channel Protracker mod starts with a great drum and bass intro, the guitar melody kicks in soon after. A very polished piece, great melody although a touch repetitive with the patterns. Extremely good solo guitar riffs, and an excellent bass line thoughout its 2:37 duration. Simply written, but awesome in its effectiveness; in fact the more I listen to it the more addictive it becomes! Definitely one for the library... The samples are of extremely high quality albeit 8-bit, and their use is of a very high calibre. Being protracker format, not much can be used in terms of instrumentation but these samples (especially the guitar) have been utilised superbly for maximum output. I just wish I knew who wrote it... | |

| Let's forget the O.K. bit here - this is unadulterated tosh. A track length of 2:00 and a real ordeal to listen to after the first 25 seconds. Repeated patterns, a dead end directional content and an eventual melody (?) which is so out of tune it probably belongs somewhere else. An inconclusive ending just about sums it up. Basic standard samples used here, no real tweaking or tuning to speak of. The metal guitar sample and the chord guitar both used out of scope, and make them sound as though the piece is being played too fast. Virtually zero effects used in this 8 channel effort apart from panning which doesn't cut it. Sorry, this is dustbin fodder. | |

| This mod has all the makings of a movie soundtrack, placed firmly in the background of something like a D&D story. No melody to speak of, just a number of sequences which have some interesting chord variations and orchestral hits/cymbal clashes. It fades out at the end after 4:11, and to be honest the length is just about right, there would be very little point in making this any longer. The instruments used are tuned nicely, the samples themselves being of a reasonably high quality. Most are used very well, however one or two cymbal clashes and the voices are obviously out of tune (too low/high) and because of the nature of the music, stand out all too clearly as being 'not quite right'. A little more work required to get a closer, more coherent instrumental harmony. | |

| Once you get into this piece, the main thing that strikes you is the excellent drumming sections. The technique is wonderful, and really stands out as a main attraction. The track runs for 5:18, and although there must be a melody in there somewhere, I didn't really manage to find one. A lot of pattern repeats, not sure whether they were put there just to pad it out, but overall an enjoyable listen. The drum samples are excellent, and tuned to near perfection. They are played with some feeling, and one would think that these at least have a professional feel to them. All the instruments are very well tuned, and are used to their fullest effect within the music. Good general effects overall. | |

| A rea lly interesting piece of music, starts off very smoothly and with a shuffle-type beat backing makes for a very pleasant and soothing track. It has a melody which is hummable, and a cheeky little addition of a section of Borodin's Polotsvian Dances at the end of the piece makes it all the more enjoyable. An extremely listenable work, if a little short before the loop at 3:02. Seemingly quite simple instruments used, the overall effect of the soft strings is quite superb. Resonances and reverbs are cleverly input through the use of several channels, and the sample effects are subtle and effective. Good use of the wrap- around to keep the tune looping seamlessly. | |

| It starts out with a beautiful tom-tom opening, complemented by a pan flute and setting the scene for what is essentially an excellent piece. Very melodic, a most pleasant atmospheric tune suited to dim lights and a glass of wine :) Actually, would also suit as a background to an exotic TV jungle documentary, although at 2:51 a little too short for my liking. The samples are of superb quality, with the african drums, pan flute and soft choir voices having been used with very good technical expertise throughout the piece. Excellent use of effect tweaking for each of the instruments, the volume is just about right from beginning to end. A good effort worthy of a download. | |

Title: Alertia Filename: alertia9.xm |

Rated 8 / 10 |
| Alertia is a full-fledged dance tune incorporating many of the techniques popular in everyone's favorites, the demotunes. Depending on how fluid or how technological you like to enjoy your music, this can be either a plus or a minus... But it's all pulled together quite nicely. There are numerous subtle variations thrown together, keeping it homogenous enough for dancefloor quality, while interesting enough for the usual mod listener. String sweeps and several flutes and winds back up a good standard backline, and the cycle of introduction, buildup, climax, and resolution comes off excellently. The techniques of demostyle trackers really scream out of this piece, with panning and swells sliding along to the beat of the song, but that doesn't mean it's raw or unfinished in any way. On the contrary, the authors throw their all into the work and come out with a shining sculpture. Leaving the marks of their tools on the finished product is just all in the play of the game. Effects fly here, every single row, without overloading the piece unpleasantly. Overall, this piece represents an excellent melding of old and new tracking techniques. There's bound to be a niche audience for this piece, those who will enjoy it immensely. | |

| A much better offering from this artist, a worthwhile 4:20 of easy listening. A hard introduction flowing into a smooth start, an easy beat and good melodic riffs help this tune considerably. Unfortunately, it suffers from lack of direction, thus making it somewhat repetetive where a change in mood, perhaps a cadence switch, would resolve that. Not enough top level melody for my liking. Very good samples, simple instrumentation but tuned finely and effectively. Effects are used to a high skill level and help to complement the flow of the music. Volume triggers have been set to suit the mood of the piece. In all, the sounds are more than adequate to reflect the general ambience of the tune. | |

| A pleasant start to this short (2:57) piece which unfortunately doesn't keep up to initial expectations. Good backing tracks and interesting chord changes keep some interest but the melody tends to get lost in sequences of rather repetitive loops. Could be improved, a little more thought into how the tune should progress is suggested. Tuneful though simple sounds used in this mod, some sounding familiar. The drum settings are refined, and the instruments have been tuned well. Very few effects have been used, but then for this type of music it's not necessary to have much more. Basic and effective. | |

| This is a very relexing experimental-ambient-chip tune. :) It's nice to see there are still some trackers that try to make new things. the track is good but it is very repeatitive,it almost doesn't change through the whole track.... It probably took less then an hour to make... However,it is worth downloading,I like the relexing feelings this track makes. listen to this before u go to sleep! Very good idea was used in this track and unlike other chip tunes this one is less happy and it isn't noisy at all. but it is a bit short for this kinda music (3:12).. The artist also repeated patterns many times and didn't make a lot of changes through the track,and even when the changes come in,u almost can't hear them. | |

| Interesting style! Used different samples, el-guitar and saxophone which sounds like a bad combination, but not in this tune! It gives it a very intersting sound. Kinda sad melody but the el-guitar is giving the tune a sort of power. And the tune is containing a really good atmosphere. Kinda mystique... The samples in this tune is really amazing! Some are 8bit and some are 16bit. There is a hell lot of them, and they all are very high quality! As warder wrote himself: "It's not about music, it's about samples" I think it's both! :) | |

| Happy dance demostyle game music created on Amiga 500 in the year of 1999!! Hmm... will ever Amiga & C64 die? :) This tune would prolly have ended up in a kickass Amiga car-game if it had been made some years ago! Really nice tune, with a lot of changing, and is intersting to listen to all the way. Sometimes it even sounds like a multichannel tune. Very impressing skills of tracking! Hope i hear more amiga-mods from him in the future! How much do you expect from a amiga-tune? It's 200 kb unzipped, and the samples are nice. 8bit ofcourse, but still nice quality. They sound clear and good. Even some sfx is used. Which again is really impressive when the tune is just 4 channel! | |

| Overall,very nice melodic techno/drums & bass tune. It has a catchy emotional (kinda) piano melody that repeats itself through the whole track,but somehow it doesn't get annoying. The melody fits very well to the drums'n'bass beat,so it is a pretty enjoyable track. but there are some parts in this track that could have been made much better with some more work,like the ending and the parts when the piano melody plays only with a bassdrum on the background.. Well,this track is pretty simple made,the artist didn't use a lot of echo,even on the piano melody.. I noticed that most of the samples are 8-bit quality,and thats a shame,becuz with some more clean samples this track could have been much better,also some sound effects and maybe vocals could make this track more interesting. | |

It could have become so much more if it had been expanded upon, but with a playing time of only 51 seconds, it's little more than an intro. The samples are passable in quality but badly looped causing heavy clicking. The whole song is in mono which is a pity as a little spatial width could have brought out a far more ambient and atmospheric sound.

| A highly professional piece of music. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I still lurv the early 80's jazz-funk style. I would swear that this song had been written by a professional musician. Whoever he/she is, I wish they had included their name somewhere in the song. Please e-mail me your name! If you liked the very early work of bands such as 'Level 42' and 'Billy Cobham', you will appreciate this to the full! On the technical side, I do have a few tiny gripes with this song. Maybe the artist didn't have access to the brilliant 'Impulse Tracker' when he/she wrote this, but a little instrument control and dynamic panning would turn this into a complete masterpiece. The overall sound is very clean and probably reflects almost exactly what the artists 'minds eye view' of the song was originally. VERY NICE INDEED! | |

The mod goes for a good length is is nowhere near boring. THe cymbals work well for dividing the piece. The samples are all well done. The poliphony is great at the start and end of the work. The texture is good and the instruments are added slowly but it works well. The flute around pattern 15 is very good, it is a great counter melody. The form is good with the piece and the ending is very good. Normally I don't care much for repeating sections but the rondo form [you have one thing at the start, then something else, then the start repeats] here is good. | |

| The song has a good melody. It is a bit long, but the instruments work well and it is certainly not boring. It has a good beat to it and the music has a good sense of direction. The harpsichord in pattern 27 adds a very good and the imitation between melody instruments is worth mentioning. The samples work well, the way they interact is good because the melody and harmony instruments swap occasionally. The keyboard instruments in it are used well. I think that the low guitar is too blurred for solo but it is great for harmonic support. It is a well tracked mod. | |

The melody is rather good. The samples work well, especially in the middle of the piece. The samples are well tracked and sound fairly proffessional.

Furthermore the composer tries to tell a story, which is easy to follow, once you actually hear the music. I like the tune that is omnipresent and unclear. What I dislike: PERHAPS, but only perhaps - there could have been just a tad more variation, but this is speculative more than it is a demand. What I like: Composer shows great skill in using IT. The sounds seem to come from all over the place, and you really feel like you are in the center of the above mentioned story. Nice samples. Nice use of them, too. Although the song demands a lot of cpu-power to play, once you've got that, you have yourself one hell of a tune that you will keep adding to your playlist. What I dislike: Am I the only one hearing a weak "Click"sound, | |
