Title: zine 8 music Filename: zine8.mod |
Posted Sat 21st Nov 1998
Rated 5 / 10 |
| This is a nice relaxing song with a little swirl in it, but i like that in a song. The use of the instruments are ok and are good tuned, but this song seems for others mayby very long altough a nice ending. This artist is ok, but there is one break in it, which i cannot place that good. For the rest is this song a nice song to wake up with, early in the morning. | |

| Again a nice trance song. The piano comes up just enough to make it a nice song, but everytime, wich number form this artist, it mostly starts with a crash cymbal. The song is ok, but seems to me a bit short and as i told more often, never cut off a song, but fade it away. for the rest it's a nice song. | |

| An interesting mix this one - a clever arrangement of several different techno style melodies that work well together. The song is a bit short, but other than that it is very good. The samples are good, the effects are nice, the patterns link together well, the instruments chosen suit the style...no complaints on this one. | |

Title: Escape from Hell Filename: hell.xm |
Posted Fri 20th Nov 1998
Rated 5 / 10 |
| Ehh.. This sounds more like an escape from the little girls clothes section of a department store. I guess I expected too much from a title like "Escape From Hell" oh well. Musically, the song isn't bad. It's light and popie, but the lead still makes me think of Hello, Kitty backpacks. Technically there is nothing really wrong with this mod. There aren't any way cool samples or killer new instruments, but it is a good effort. | |

| The music of this mod was alright. It is a nice little piece of background that could put the average housecat to sleep. The lead didn't come in until the last minute of the song, and the rythm was just a bit offbeat. This made listening to the song a little irritateing. The biggest technical error I found was the beat timeing. It had none. The backbeat and the rythm were just offset enough to really bother me. Also, 28 channels hould have been able to produce better. | |

| This piece is far too repetative to be interesting. The same melodies play over and over. They are simple, but they do work well together. More variation is needed. The samples are really bad. The are highly synthetic, and don't work well together. The drums really detract from the piece's interest. The chording and melodies are simple and work, but more needs to be done in this one. | |

Title: The Story of Mythica Filename: mythica.it |
Posted Fri 20th Nov 1998
Rated 4 / 10 |
| This is actually a 7 part track. And intro, followed by six "parts." All the pieces seem pretty much unrelated to any other in terms of rythym, but possibly this is the intention, All parts are very short, most lack depth as well. Adequate samples, but usages at times leaves something to be desired. Sparks of creativity/originality show up in a few areas, but a lot more is needed to fill out the track(s). Slow builds. Here's a brief comment on each "part" of the whole: The Intro: Long, some suspense, and strings! Part I: Good samples. A choppy beginning leaves you waiting for the next part- Part II: Some good beats and rythyms here, but one cymbal is overused. Has a dischordant/out of tune sound. Part III: Clean beats, and better organized than previous parts. Okay. Part IV: Dischordant/Out of Tune sounds appear again, ruins this part since it's hard to ignore it. Part V: A stormy start (literally!) leads to more out of tune sample sounds. Part VI: I wasn't ready for this part after hearing the others, it's much different, and BETTER! This is easily the best part of the entire package, contrasts sharply with previous parts in that it had a good start, good suspense, great rythyms, and, a panning snare that sounds neat! If the whole track was of similar quality this would be a 7.0 or possibly higher, instead of 4.5... Tracks attempts to cover a wide band of music types- and misses for the most part, ending up sounding 'lost.' Shortness of parts shows quickly, and yet repetitiveness also becomes apparent. Delays between parts are rather long (2 patterns @ times). Each part has it's own 'label'. | |

| Again a nice trance song. This has a few breakes inside what makes this song complete. Everytime i hear a trance song, i can relax, but i don't think that's the idea of a trance song, don't you think so ? This artist better can call himself "zetrancea". Everytime, i think, he trys it over and over again to get the best out of a song, but never try to hard, else it could go wrong. | |

| A very upbeat majestic tune. Starts slow, and gets a tiny bit faster. The mid section of the song has the same feel, which makes good use of the 4 channels. Drums and other instruments are used very well. The ending of the song slows down, and sounds almost like the beginning however. Some samples (like the drums and the shaker) sound a bit muffeled. But other samples like the trumpet sound very crisp. | |

| Again a nice trance song. thistime the song could be in a top 100 of a billboard, just like you turn on the radio. I find this a good one, no matter what the maker thinks of it himself. This artist is a total trance freak. In thisone the piano plays a big role and leaves all the rest behind on the background. Very nicely done ! | |

| This song was not up to Necro's usual standards, however it is still ok. This is a very mellow and repetitive song, and it will not hold a listener for too long. This song is very medicore compared to the other songs that Necros has made. There is not much variation in samples either. Too many drums, not a well balanced mix. | |

| Again a nice trance song, but this is a totally new one. A good start and a good end. It ssems to me, if i listen carefull, that only one instrument is effected with panning slide, but seems to take the rest of the instruments with it aswell. This artist is reilly into a total trance movement Keep on composing more of this kinda likely songs, then .......? hehehe :-) , you may fill in these dots yourself. | |

| In the beginning i thought it was again an ambient number, but then comes in a snare and turn it into a trance song, it is nice, but as the maker says for himself; much too short. This artist is ok !, but remember to make a song a little bit longer. The song for itself is a good song, used not too many, but even not too mch effects. This is just right. | |

| This song is kinda jazzy song, a nice voice and good swing. It seems that the maker created a 4 channel mix for the first in 2 years, but then it is direct a nice one. This artist knows how to handle a tracker, cause of the right and all tuned together instruments. I only find it a little bit too short, what is a sin, but for the rest all is ok ! | |

The brakes and fade in/out are good, but there are too many unused patterns in it. The artist should be reilly consider to put in a nice female voice for a great clubsong. For the rest he is using nice soundly intruments into this song. keep up the good work ! | |

| Not a bad song, the filters were nice. The song was kinda short though, it also seemed to lack a purpose, and therefore seemed to go in no particular direction. It did, however, have a nice bit of enthusiasm. Nothing special in the way of technicalities, the instruments weren't old or overdone, so it wasn't bad. | |

| Yes, this is Acid. Beat, groove and synth all the way. The only real downfall being the strings, they start at one note and never stop, it got rather annoying since they were a bit too loud. Great use of samples here, some of the oldest samples to date were used, but you'd never recognize them. Awesome job, dude. | |

| Hey, not too bad given its age. Not very inventive though, it seemed to repeat the same phrases over and over, it was boring. I won't even go into the samples here, but they really affected the music overall. Okay, her goes, the samples suck. I know it's old, I know they didn't have much to work with back then, but they sound horrible. Keep it for its historic value only. | |

| This song had a certain attractiveness to it. The beat was great and the synths fit in perfectly. It had the sticking familiarity of a song that you swear you've heard before but don't know where, which is really a great selling point. Good work. I wasn't very pleased with the samples used in the song. I think with better samples this song could rock. The drum samps were very weak, the track was good but it just lacked a lower frequency. | |

Title: my tango. Filename: MYTANGO.MOD |
Posted Thu 19th Nov 1998
Rated 7 / 10 |
| A very interesting departure from the normal style seen in today's tracks. This track really does have a tango feel to it, and it's very refreshing to hear something truly different. All this track's samples fit very nicely into the whole package, for quality AND usage! The rythym and leads change often, and the unique feel of this one shines through. However, the beginning and ending are both rather abrupt, and there is a "hoo!" sample that starts getting to you after a while. I don't usually go for this type of music, but this track really stands out as different, and it sells 'tango' quite well. Heavy use of Offsets which improve the sound of the samples well. Some Note Slides here and there and a few Volume Slides scattered around. The effects may not be immediatly apparent to the casual listener, but believe you me they make a big difference, and have a large impact on the tracks sound. | |

| This music is fine, if not a little short (13 patterns. It starts off alright with some good lead instruments, but some of the sounds don't seem to fit the tune. As a looping tune it doesn't seem to work that well but some parts of its length are quite well done. Some of the sounds are a bit crusty, the main bass drum is a tad on the 'loud' side... A bit too prominent. Also the end doesn't loop around to the start seamlessly. Some of the patterns are quite good in their design, but are let down by the rest of the tune. | |

| The song has a nice evil sound to it, but I find the drums quite annoying, they don't really seem to make any sense in the song. Otherwise it is rather short and boring, the leads aren't bad, but the song could've been better. TOMiS uses echoing and volumes good, as well as some note slides, the ordering of the song is quite confusing though. | |

| This song is a nice one, created by Led Zeppelin and tracked by Ironman. Thisone is done nicely and smooth, but after a while i seemed to hear several false notes in it. The artist has done a good job, but i think he's grabbing to high for making a cover off Led Zeppelin, cause of the several (almost) false notes in this song, but still, a good job. Only the flute is not coming totally to his right. | |

| Very melodious song. Distinguishing lead in some parts of the song but not always. All in all a masterpiece for its time! Almost no apparent repetition. Ever changing tune keeps the listener interested till the end. Every sample is extremely well recorded. Every sample can be heard through out the song. The samples don't overpower each other. Samples are well chosen and sound nicely strung together. Good use of the delay effect on the Tambourines and other samples. Like I said previously, a masterpiece for the limits encountered with composing S3Ms. | |

| Standard dance tune. Has a nice drum beat but not too many variations throughout the song. Not a bad intro, but the song doesn't seem to go anywhere. There are no big changes or a supporting melody which would be nice. Nonetheless it is an average dance song. The vocals (which are very familiar) are not overused this is a good thing. Most of the samples are ok. The song is definitely a little too repetitive, changes would be nice! | |

| Here's a neat techno song based on vocals on a real song out there. The vocals don't sound off tempo as they often do when used so this was a pleasant surprise. The song is a little repetitive but it has some breaks every now and again from the vocals which is important. The drum beat is repetitive but fits the tune nicely. Technically this song is solid. The vocals fit very well in the song and the rest of the samples are ok as well. The vocals do get a little annoying after listening to this song multiple times, and the ending is unsatisfying. Other than that, nice job. | |
