A Scream Tracker 3 module of perfection, fantastic sound and still brings the same feeling to me as when I first heard it back in 1993. Skaven is a true inspiration to my life and I have been fortunate enough to have spoken with him over the past few decades.
This is about as good as they come! One of Skaven's best in my opinion.
There is a quite good melody, which gives people a deep feeling. Unfortunately, this time is too little.
Classic Skaven style, although a bit short. This track also spawned a great remix by Necros: 'ice frontier' (remix)
One of my favorites, particularly for the epic opening section. It's a little short and might meander a little towards the end but for me it stands as one of the great little tunes of its time.
Another jewel by Skaven.
I disagree with Copperhand's comments about the melodies being presumably forgettable. No wonder why Necros made a remix of this song...
This is surely a kind of a corner stone of the tracker scene that I have explored. Yeah, it's quite a minimal tune when you listen it as an outside viewer. The thing turns out to be a feature if you give it a change, try to imagine it as a background theme of an ultimate science fiction movie. That for example does the trick for me. It has this even supernatural atmosphere in it's core, just wait a while if it stays hidden... ;) This is as an official tracker scene song, in my opinion. I will give give this rating because of my own personal taste, so don't get offended.
This tune has the "classic" mod style that some of us live for. The song itself is well-arranged and flows well. There's good use of dynamics. However, the song is far too short and suffers from a lack of direction. The melodies are forgettable and it lacks a good hook. Skaven would have done well to keep this one brewing a little longer before release. The technical side of this mod cannot be criticized. Though not quite as professional-sounding as some XMod's, this is certainly at the top of the scale as far as S3M's go. The dynamics and vibratos are executed well. A richer sound would have given this mod a better technical rating.

I can't seem to think
straight in this heat
and moisture... That's
why this ended up short.
