Insomnia (insomnia.xm)

Sorry, but this doesn't live up to the awesomeness the original from Faithless had. And, those two samples are goddamn annoying and ruins the whole thing, even of how loud the clap sample is. Even with these two samples turned off, the module is slightly more listenable but still very uninspiring and repetitive.

This song is probably meant to express the pain of insomnia, but what's really painful is the screaming sample that stays there through the whole song. What starts out sounding like an interesting ambient groove never really goes anywhere, and then, after about 2 minutes, it's done. Toss in the scream and a silly "shut the fuck up, chico-man" sample, and you have the entire song - no melodies, no anything. Just one little groove. There isn't much to say about the technical side of this extremely one-dimensional song. The scream sample is extremely obnoxious (perhaps that was intended). The "chico-man" sample isn't of the greatest quality either, and the bass drum is far too loud. Overall a technicall uninteresting song.
