Revelation Intro (revintro.xm)

Now this one is dark. Very dark. It starts off with a low, pondering string section to set the mood, and it builds up from there. The beat eases in effortlessly, and I tell you, it's really hard not to start bobbing your head; especially when it gets to patterns 10 and 11. Right after those two patterns, the music dies down a bit and agent Mulder from X-Files starts rambling untill the end of the song. That Mulder speach makes this piece feel like the intro to some sci-fi flic (or possibly an episode of X-Files?), when the credits go by at the beginning. Even if that's what this song was intended for (and it probably wasn't), I would still have much liked this one to be longer; you know, for a high-budget movie with alot of credits ;) Overall I like the feel of this one. This kind of dark techno really appeals to me. It's disappointing that it is so short, even if it is only an intro (as the title says). It is only about a minute long before Mulder starts talking. I don't mind that all that much though, because I like when the strings fade back in while the agent is blabbing. The only thing that I really don't like is at the very end when the strings go out with the overdone vibrato, though I guess playing with effects is what Experimental songs are all about. With an artist who has been here as long as Morgan has, it's virtually impossible to find something to complain about in the technical section. This one particularily shows that he's mastered panning and volume slides, as there is alot of that going on. Filesize is very reasonable, as is 18 channels. My only complaints are with the song's length, and that vibrato at the end that I plain don't like. I'd say this song is quite interesting and a definite recommendation for download.
