2010 (2010.mod)

The artist behind this is a guy called Ralf, who's scene name is DJ Jam. Check the Amiga Music Preservation database.
Anyways, this is song isn't actually that bad... for the first 4 minutes or so. Yeah, it's pretty repetitive and uses randomly edited ST-01 samples, but hey, it seems to be a pretty early module, so I give it that.
However, after that, it devolves into pure.... awfulness? For like 16 minutes. Who even writes a song that long.
And I thought the other 2010.MOD (the one by blackstar and trixal) was long, and that one's only 7 minutes long. However you can actually listen to those 7 minutes and enjoy every second of it. It's much more well-composed.
I don't know if it is in the archive, but I might as well upload it.

Don't bother downloading this. 16 minutes and 23 seconds of repetitive crap. No wonder the author didn't credit themself.

Man, if there ever were an example song to say "this is what happens when you use only 4 samples and put all your percussion on one channel"...

The song is far too long an lacks effects. Some of the parts sounds pretty catchy while others just pains your ears.

2010... 2010 reasons not to listen to this. This tune is made up of 16 minutes and 23 seconds of mostly beeps, noise, and things that hurt your ears. The artist clearly has no concept whatsoever on what harmony is about. This song would not be fun to listen to for 16 seconds, and it defenitely isn't worth the download time, nor wasting 16 minutes of your life to listen to it. Don't. I guess maybe this was an experiment to try to define the words "repetetive" or "montonous" or something like that. The artist leaving out his name might have been a safety precation or just by plain feeling of guilt for releasing something like this. The sample quality is somewhere between not-ok and ok, some samples are good and others sound horrible. The fact that no energy has been spent on tuning the samples doesnt make it much better either. So my advice to the tracker is: learn how to write music! and to everyone else: stay damn clear of this tune and dont waste a perfectly good 16 minutes on it.
