Better off alone (d7_bett.xm)

Overall Impression (10/10)

My overall impression of this song: I'm very surprised by the fact that this module doesn't need to be filled up with more samples/instruments, because it sounds almost perfect without a lot of them. Maybe the main lead sounds a bit over the maximum volume allowed by almost any electronic music artist, but it sounds very good anyways.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (9/10)

Very well done structure/technique of this mod. The patterns feature lots of note-off commands to make the samples sound properly. Also there are adequate panning and volume effects to make the sound balanced.

Development (7/10)

Panning: very good. We gotta have in mind that this mod was done in 1999, when there were not a lot of very good trackers. I think this mod was done using Fasttracker 2.09 or something similar (btw FT2 was the best tracker available together with Impulse Tracker).
Volume/amplitude: not perfect, because the main lead sounds a bit overamplified, but still nice sounding along the entire track. Also, maybe a panning effect could be added to the string pad.

Creativity (10/10)

The main lead of this mod is the same as the original song produced by Dj Jurgen in 1999 but the chord progression is just amazing, making the module sound beautiful and stunning. This progression fits very well with the main lead melody. Also the string pad which produces these chords is just perfect to achieve that! In short: very creative chord progression for this 1999 dance track.

Enjoyment (10/10)

This module became one of the most amazing tracks stored in my harddrive. One of my favorite modules ever.
