Persian Starfall (starfall.xm)

Starts out really good with eastern drums and singing voice sample in the same eastern style. Relaxing background music. Even though personally I loose interest in it after some time, it is undoubtedly a very well done piece.

Solid. Well balanced instrumentation, good melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic content and concept. This is one of the ~4 dozen or so mods that I've been including in my background mix for several years now. I've probably heard it several thousand times and I'm still not tired of it.

A song where the name actually kind of describes the song! Wow... anyway... It's a very nice Persian sounding beginning, with whatever you call those Persian instruments. Then after about a minute of that, the drum loop comes in as well as the cymbals and piano. There is a techno type sample that comes in and is quite dominant in a couple of parts. It doesn't seem to fit with the feel of the song, and I think a flute or something might have worked better. Overall, though, it's a nice sounding song. It says in the sample text "Sorry about that annoying drum loop, I was lazy... :)" Well, the loop itself isn't annoying and it gives the song more of a rock feel, but the fact that he was lazy and made a loop puts me off a little.... As I said before, the techno sample doesn't seem to belong and I think a flute or something may have been better.
