Amazing work, so disappointed that I slept on this for so long!
My favorite mod of all time and one that reminds me of a few important people in my life. This tune inspires me to move forward no matter how difficult things may seem.
One of the first few tracker modules I ever heard... Absolutely beautiful of a tune, genuinely really well made.
A magical tune, withstands the test of time no matter how crunchy the samples may sound :)
truly one of the best modules of all time. necros did an amazing job!
this is my favorite module of all time, i've listened to this countless of times and it's just awesome, everything about it is perfect.
I like this track very much! It's so relaxed and very well arranged. Starting with these wavelike strings and moving in the theme. Very nice!
An absolute classic! One of the greats back in the day. Used to listen to this with my best mate back in '95. Was a big inspiration for tracking. Necros really knew his stuff and still does amazing music.
point of departure is a pure 10. nothing less. had it in a floppy. found it again here
The original version of Point of Departure is awesome.
This is an older tune with not realy high quality sound. However, I like it.

I learned how to track by reading the Zen of Tracking, which has since vanished from the face of the internet. "Point of Departure" was mentioned as a gold standard. It more or less lives up to its name.
This is an amazing track! Of course, it's Necros, and I didn't know until now. This would've worked well in Unreal Tournament (well, it's in a mod). It gives me nostalgic feelings (probably because it was written in 1995). This is just perfect.
Very good track, with all this Cure-Like atmosphere going on.
I remember when I first time listened this track on my first PC ( 1995 ). The intro pads are awesome and makes me cry :-)
I've probably listened to this track 1000+ times, not kidding. I've used it as an alarm track in my stereo also. Samples are a bit bad, but this is absolutely the only negative thing, the rest is virtually flawless. No repetitiveness, excellent usage of panning and other effects.
I remember when I first downloaded this years and years ago, it's a number by a guy named Necros aka Andrew Sega. This is the OLD SKOOL of trax... some of you guys weren't even born when these primordial hits were rocking the scene. You owe it to yourself to get ANYTHING by Necros or Basehead or their Five Musicians group... this stuff is an object lesson in advanced music composition. Nothing made today even comes close to this quality.
Yes, for me too! One of not just favorite modules, but *pieces of music of all time*!
One of my favorite modules of all time. I always get a good feeling when I listen to this tune. Nice chords, good panning, excellent percussion, excellent everything!
Still one of my fav's from necros.still has that nice feeling about it :)
Remembered this was once of the many tunes I collected back in the early days of the internet.
Years later the song went around in my head but I couldn't remember the artist of name, all I could remember was something about trains in the sample text.
Many years later I tried mod archive and found it again, my ears and brain wept with joy when they were exposed to this awesome song once again. Thanks Necros!
This one was my "Point of Departure": was my very first module i ever listened! I love this tune a lot!
And thanks for this module, i've started to compose music, when i'm 13!
10+!
Wow, this an amazing Track - nice drums, nice leads, nice chords - everything is nice :> The musicdisk this tune was used in is also very interesting! If you collect them, look for it :)
Beautiful. In one word. So spacey, a track that makes you feel good inside. A lot of echoeed panned synths and a beautiful string melody which sounds really trippy. It's like a ride in a train, or driving at 200 mh at the highway. The breakbeats sound nice. Th could be a bit firmer, but that's the only little remark what I can make up for this classic. Must download. It's a technical piece of art for an screamtracker 3 mod. Necros picked out just the right samples and put them all right in place. The samples are heavily effected just with tracker commands, no special effect samples are used, and the way Necros has done this is something you see in a very little mods. Also a good song as example for making the better tracked modules. It 'll keep you busy for a while.

Finished in about 15 or
so hours, this song came
to me while watching this
strange show about bullet
trains, and somehow the
thought of movement with-
out sound inspired me to
write this. (I also wanted
to try to make sure I
could still sequence a
decent drum track :>)

Another bad ass song! I have been listening to this one for many years. I didn't really like it at first but over the decades I have grown really fond of this one. The breakbeat really makes the song come to life -- I love it when the beat drops. The synths are beautiful, chilling, and atmospheric -- a combination that works well for this song.
