masters of power (masters.mod)

This tune is quite wierd. The melody itself is fine and sometimes even nice, however there are wierd and senceless ( in musical point of view) parts, for example: pattern number 5. The beat is steady throught the whole piece, with some "attempts" for a breakbeat which unfortantly i must sort as pathetic. The samples dont fit together so well, the artist made them work, however it wouldnt be my natural selection. Most of the tracks i reviewed so far suffered from lack of ending of anykind, i hoped this one will be different, but sadly my wish didnt come true. Moreover, the last pattern and the beggining dont connect at all, it sounds as if someone cut the track in the middle. This song , however, should and will get credit for the unique atmosphere it creates, using some wierd combination of samples and sound effects. Samples are 8 bit quality, and they dont go well together. The only sound effect used in this piece is the portemanto up effect, together with sample number 11, a synth, creates a unique sound which contributes much to the atmosphere in the song. The song structure is preety much simple and unsoffisticated. Thats about it, might be worth a download due to the unique atmosphere.
