This is obviously someone's very first experimentation of covering a song they've heard elsewhere into a music tracker.
Fascinating to think that it was made and uploaded within weeks of my own birth.

Hello everyone. This will be my first review for MA, so I will try to be gentle. The song I have chosen is The Abyss, Sepultura. What I like: I like the songs simplicity. Made of only one sample it seems sort of rebelious. Like the sound of Commodore 64 sound made on purposs. What I Dislike: The song is not very interesting. As a matter of fact the song isn't even the authors own. And it seems that he or she hasn't done anything to make it less boring. Perhaps it was made to remind us of how simple music can be, but if so, the author should have chosen a more interesting song. This sounds like a song for beginner. I would never choose this for my playlist, and therefor I cannot give this song very much, but please do not think that I hate you. Deep down you know that isn't true. As there is only one sample, there is not much one can say about the samplework, other than the sample sounds like a commodore 64. I would personally have chosen a different sample, as I find this one a bit dull. It has absolutely no edge to it. The songwriter uses the trackerprogram ok, but not in any innovative and incredible way worth mentioning. Just a few speed- and rowbreaking commands. Quite simple, as is the song, and as consequence: The grade.
