Last Day On Caladan
By Aragorn
Finished: August 2000
Finally, this one is
done... Most parts of
the song have been
lying here for more
than a year :)
This one is about the
part of the book Dune,
where young Paul
Atreides is about to
leave his home planet
Caladan, and to go to
the desert planet
Arrakis, into an
unknown faith...
Because the song is
rather slow, I kept it
short, 'cause it seems
longer I think.

This guy worked a lot on the song, but there is one problem with it: It's too slow. This would be a lot better as BG music in a movie or something. You can't listen to it... also, the music suffers from instrument problems: they cut each other off, resulting in a really mechanical sounding piece. The tune is good, though, cause it's very emotional. I can imagine this guy leaving his planet forever, cause of what-not. It's good. Impulse Tracker Format (.it) would have been better here, because XM (Fast Tracker) doesn't support overlapping samples in the same track. This results in strange instrument cut-offs that screw around with the song... But in all due fareness, this is a technical problem, not Aragorn's. Also, Aragorn's choice of samples is good, since they complement the song well. Unfortunatly, there was a lot of wasted space here, with 15 unused instruments, 2 unused samples, and 11 samples with junk after the loop end-point. That's what really brought this song down, but still a good listen.
