This song was composed by Raphael Gesqua (audiomonster) in 1991. Gees, it is hard to believe that this mod is that old. Most of the old mods are just something simple to swing with but this one is an experience.=) 10 minutes of orchestral-music with lots of variation... The intro begins with some soft strings and windsamples. Soon the song starts to reveal itself. The soundscape is filled with different samples and the mood changes all the time. At one point it is tense then again it might turn into fanfare of celebration.But nothing lasts long and just when you have really started to enjoy the brutal "attackmusic" it ends and new part of the song begins and that fact keeps the interests up. As this track travels through its voyage, it offers so much to the listener. Great horns, lovely bows, beautiful strings and massive percussions. And the tempo of this song also changes dramatically sometimes. The artist wrote that while you listen to this song, you should imagine 2 clans of barbarians fighting. Pretty easy to imagine, and if someone remembers the amiga-version from the game "Powermonger", then this song also reminds of it since it also contains some same samples that the Intro in that game was using... Lovely piece overall. A must download for everyone. If you find better 4-channel orchestral-mod than this, send it to me. Thank you. When I first listened to this song without tracker, I was overwhelmed. It sounded so great in everyway. Of course there are some bad loops since the samples are old, but that doesn't even disturb the listener since everything loops in the rhythm of this song.=) Then I checked this song with a tracker. Huge amount of effects were used and there was also some excellent use of tempochanges. A good control and skill of using that gives some nice freedom and possibilities to the artist, but what I have seen - it is pretty rare. Samples were very good and use of 'em was great. I also loved the fact that eventhough this track lasts for 10 minutes, it never started to bore me. Wonderful job Raphael...=)
