DOH comes from France and at least belonged to the Dreamdealers.This is the second module from him that I've heard and I must say that so far I've really liked this guys work. This track represents some jazz and funk influenced music. Sounds pretty nice but is quite short. This song starts with nice bassline. It is followed by drums and strings. Drums were very nice although the rhythm sounds now a bit funny. Strings are basic soft amiga-kinda strings but fit to this piece well. Then the song sets on the air the best thing in this piece : Leadsamples. Those are pretty highpitched and may annoy some people. But if you can deal with that, you'll first hear some nice small melodies with them, and soon starts an awesome solopart with that lead, but this time it has some distortion. It sounds veeeery nice and the more I listen to this track, the more I like it. Despite the fact that the background is pretty similar through the song except for the chillpart where flute plays nicely, the song doesn't repeat itself. The leadsample takes care of that part. It is used very professionally and in wide scale. An excellent snack for modulelovers and why not to everyone else too? =) My opinion : Worth listening. This song is from the year '95 so every sample is 8-bit quality. If there wouldn't be that nice bassline and those lovely leads, this would be a quite simple song overall. Now the use of sample offsets and noteslides in the leads is great. It was also nice that this song doesn't last so long. 2.46 is perfect lenght to this piece. It lefts you a feeling that you want to hear some more of this and then you just have to listen it all over again. This guy fights in the same with Moby, so maybe that tells something.=)
