Title: vaporized feelings

Rated 9 / 10
This might be my first foray intro tribal trance, but the view from here is ecstatic. Good, tight sound, and mesmerizing chord progressions. The middle (3:41) keeps things interesting by changing the structure a bit, and creating an emotional and melodic ambiance. The track stops abruptly at 6:07, and if you put this song on Repeat, the playback is seamless. Considerate of the tracker to make sure that the listener's state of trance is not disrupted. 9/10 for fuzzy bass line.

Airy dream trance, as refreshing as a breeze and as soft as a cotton ball. 9/10 because something sounds muddy.

This was incorrectly labeled as dream trance, but according to the tracker's comments and to the structure of this piece, this is classical music - just strings and oboe. Simple, moving and capable of conjuring tears. I think the composition is of high quality, but can't say the same about the samples used.

Beautiful, soulful composition. Samples, a little muddy. I often can't tell the difference between House and other genres, but this sounds like it might be House.

Well! This is some dope acid trance! Acid samples are purportedly all original. That bass line is wicked sweet. I don't listen to acid trance much, but this is one hot, mischievous beauty. The acid purrs like a suave feline on organic catnip, and tickles my belly.

This reminds me of Orbital, and since I love them, I'm bound to love this too. Not sure if I labeled this incorrectly as IDM. There are many genres here in one, it seems. The climactic, trancey groove is DELICIOUS. Topnotch skill.

I'm not even going to download this one. Strange, dark, minimal, and experimental. The tracker gives a warning in the comments, about the creepiness of the track. It's just not my taste. I can't derive pleasure out of a track, unless it tells a story. That is just me, though. I'm sorry, Moonstone. You took all that time and rush of creativity to construct this track, and here I am, analyzing it, labeling it, and tearing it to pieces. Something in music dies the moment we label it, I feel. But the review box is here, asking for my input.

5/10 for good sample quality.

Nice DnB, though less of the mono and more of a stereo effect would have made it easier on the ears.

If Moonstone put out an album, I'd be the first to buy it. However, though this track is as fun as jungle can be (that's what this is, right? Or is it breakbeat?), something feels imbalanced, but I'm not sure what.

Ahhh, Moonstone. This guy knows what he's doing. Unbelievably competent, smooth and chill vibe in this track. I love how this tracker elicits these sweet, glowing, juicy and refreshing feelings in me. This track is especially laden with this affect. It affords me the pleasure of fully relaxing and not being offset by subpar sample quality or composition. Life is already stressful enough! The climax in the track is to die for.

Moonstone wrote WONDERFUL modules; incredibly well-crafted for the mid 90s. I'm quite surprised that he is not being lauded as one of the great, or at least, one of the better trackers.

This particular track is extremely palatable. Moonstone obviously had no difficulty establishing his own sound, and infusing each track with a driven, delicious, confident, badass essence. This shines through in The Next Phase. I absolutely love the almost aggressively-confident finesse in this piece, and it makes me go crazy in my seat. There is NOTHING missing.

Highly recommended for module connosieurs that enjoy the Rave groove.

I've finally found this underrated, sexy gem after looking through my old module backup! Pretty good quality, and Oh Such Wonderful DELIGHT!!! 9/10 for somewhat hazy sample quality.

A very satisfying dark acid trance track, though it does not feel completely original or inventive. Does not quite disappoint, though something is missing. Nice sample quality.

I like this a lot. I can see how the intro can get old, as it resembles something you'd hear in a cheesy XXX movie. But the creative use of the famed pizzicato is fun. Pads leading to the breakdown are immensely enjoyable to listen to. A joyful and hearty tune, in my opinion.

For me this is the module that really got a hold of my heart and never let go. I prefer this version over the original. This version seems more palatable. I still cannot believe that one of the most beautiful tracks I'd ever have had the honor to listen to, would be a module.

I've never owned a C64, but this is such a special masterpiece. That is all I can really say, as it's hard not to be speechless each time I listen to this. The emotion in this track is bursting at the seams.

I usually hate the saxophone, but this time it understands the feelings a music piece elicits.

This little gem has so many layers.

Ever-evolving.

A minute and a half of glimpsing into the mind of one Creative Person, who took four channels, some samples, and crafted them into a badass tapestry.

I feel that the artist is trying to find their "own" sound, and this is a work on the pathway towards that goal. I listened in monitoring headphones and had to turn the volume all the way down, because there is a harshness to some of the samples, I think. Especially that synth in the middle... I'd give it another listen, if not for that jagged-sounding synth.

No one's reviewed this one yet?

I think this module is genius. Quite large file size, but profoundly beautiful music awaits.

The anticipation and buildup leads into the main theme, which is sublime. Extremely immersive and soul-gripping. I go back to this tune to feel awe-inspired and hopeful when it seems that there is no hope left. The writer paints a complete and majestic picture of the sacred within the shadows, as if though he had a near death experience and went to heaven and back. It gets to be so beautiful that I have to hold back tears. Thank you, original artist, whoever you are!

So special, so magical. I can almost reach the stars - so evocative is this tune by Lluvia. Heartfelt, and progresses to the tune of the composer's heart. Quality of the samples is wonderful, IMHO.

One of my top 3 tracks by Necros. So wonderfully original, refreshing, badass. High quality of the beats is highly appreciated. Something about it reminds me of Future Sound of London.
