This mod is awesome. But to be fair, it's awesome because it's coming from a fond time and place, when playing Cannon Fodder in my youth.

Having no prior bias may render the score differently, as the user Ahlin gives an example of.

And that's just Sensible.

I must agree with m0d. I've always enjoyed this fun song which went with the great game Cannon Fodder.

Now, before you go ripping into this for "ripping off someone's singing samples" or "god this hasn't got an ounce of imagination", suck on this bit of reality-lozenge: This song is from the Amiga game, Cannon Fodder and as a result all of the vocals in this were sung, sampled and arranged in-house for the game itself. The whole concept of doing a piece with vocals like this is itself superb because it had to sit alongside the game data on the floppy disk(s), meaning it had to be small.

Granted, this has a fairly repetitious chord progression, but because the vocals are in a melody and reused as cut-up-parts thoughout it's hardly a surprise. If you want to know something else, a rendition of this was actually played LIVE by a band at Breakpoint 2007 demoparty, and it kicked major arse.

Oh, man. No imagination at all. This a song with hardly any instrumens. The samples aren't even good and they doesn't fit to the rythm. And It's the same sapler over and over again. Some bad samples that doesn't sound good to teh rythm- Do I need to say more?
