This MOD was my introduction to Jean Michel Jarre. Very nice cover of the original, I think.

The intorduction starts with some percusion and bass lines, which remains for the rest of the song, which is quite long. The musical theme is large and consists of many nice chords, yet it has a monotonous sound to it, maybe becoz of the bass and drums that never changes. The melodies are lovely and the mood created is quite sad. Some samples sometimes are too loud, e.g: The bass in patterns 14-17. It ends in a fadeout, a bit too quicky to my belief. Important to say that this is not the artist own creation, he just converted it. The original music is by jean michel jarre. Not bad, considering its over 13 years old, so you might want to add this to your antiques. The artist knows how to set and change volume settings , and to use a few sound effects. The patterns structure seems to be , most of the time, quite simple. Also, the percusion and bass arrangment never changes, which causes it to become boring after 2 minutes or so. The samples are of low quality (daaa) , yet they fit and sound fair enough together.
