Another ok oldskool mod was found from the L-directory. This track is a fast paced tune that represents the style of synthpop. It is a bit different track among the 4 -channel modules. Well, don't expect now anything weird-creepy-experimental song here. What I meant that it is... well.. err.. Can't tell. Listen to yourself and decide.=) The song starts right away without an intro. Drums, strings and bass with brass are the main instruments used in this song through the whole package. Good selection I might say. Melodies and bassline are really nice and the use of strings was also something refreshing to hear. There were also some "odd" things in this piece like the sudden appearing and disappearing of the strings, but it works ok. Some parts the bass has a "solo" role and so has the drums. Anything major, but it adds a nice spices to this song. As a short song (1.59) this track doesn't loose its interest. If you listen this song with for example xm-play, you can listen to it pretty long time without knowing that it never ends actually. It loops to the first pattern, but it does it well enough so you can't tell it without deep listening. Nice snack for those who enjoy old modules. Since this is propably a really old module, there is no bigger technical tricks here. No use of effects. The only "action" that happens here are the volumechanges. Artist did quite nice job with this song. No bigger flaws, but also no bigger positive things. A decent track for rainy afternoons.=)
