Download: Title: .Angeldreams Filename: mpn-adr.xm	Posted Wed 9th Feb 2000 Rated 8 / 10
This song really sound like "angel dreams". Very cute and simple melody, still having a mighty dreamy and flying. The song's lead melody played with flute, sometimes changing to piano, and this sounds good through all the song. What I could complain about is that it gets somewhat boring, since the theme keeps going on lifelessly throught the song. This is not only bad, it also gives the listener mighty dream feelings. Another complaint is that the song ends without much of an ending. Maybe the angel woke up from her dreams? =) Again, the artist must be a genius to make such a melody. The samples are not good, and not bad, they just are there, and you better like them! Memphoria makes great use of the simple flute and piano samples, by not trying any strange effects, and simply making a great melody. Too bad only, there are other samples that are not used as wisely. For example sometimes, there comes a "bubbling" sound which does not at all fit in the song and it is loud enough to make the listener annoyed by not hearing the wonderful melody. The strings and piano are used very wisely. Drums are echoing à la "Chariots of fire" by Vangelis, which gives a very nice effect.

This is a kind of music that is not that common. It has a very calming effect on the listener. Jazzy funky melodies mixed with some kind of new age or ambient music is a great idea. The composer sure knew what he wanted to do when he made this. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it's not the absolute most perfect piece of music of all times, just very close to being. I can not find anything to complain about. Samples: great Use of samples and effects: absolutely perfect anything else: just great
