That saxophone is godly. The song has a rugged energy that I don't rarely see on this site. It's extremely welcome!

This is one of the best modules of all time due to its extraordinary compositional and instrumental quality. It's been helping me cope with a loss. Thank you.

I'm very fond of this track. Melodic drum-and-bass music is not something I typically come across on the Mod Archive, and this is easily one of Nighthawk's best works. But I wish the title didn't make the song difficult and awkward to search for and share with others. Maybe there's an alternate title somewhere that we just don't know about...

Now, this is stellar! It definitely has a DOOM-like vibe, like a song leading up to a major or even final encounter. It's rare to see guitar samples used to such great effect; well done!

Download: Title: CAPE HORN by DRAX Filename: cape_horn.xm	Posted Fri 4th Jun 2021 Rated 10 / 10
This is some exceptionally funky techno! It's the perfect balance of punchy and low-key, and it's got some great overall execution. There's also enough variety to keep it from deviating too far from what makes it great. Well done!

Download: Title: in the forge Filename: sg-itfc.it	Posted Wed 26th May 2021 Rated 10 / 10
I find this piece to be an excellent ambient funk track. True to the title, it wants whoever is "In the Forge" to approach it carefully and marvel at the work being done. The echoing piano hits and the trickling sound of what I assume to be molten metal really bring things together. All around, it is absolutely fantastic!

Download: Title: reloaded Filename: vincenzo_-_reloaded.xm	Posted Sat 8th May 2021 Rated 10 / 10
I recognize this tune from this YTPMV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOlVcd6Xx6w A very well-composed dance chiptune!

Download: Title: .hyperion. Filename: hyperion.xm	Posted Sun 15th Nov 2020 Rated 10 / 10
There's something incredibly disquieting about this piece -- in the best way possible. I haven't listened to anything quite like it on the Mod Archive, but it gives me similar vibes to Kevin Macleod's royalty-free horror music. Considering it's such a departure from the norm on here, I don't see it gelling with everyone, but I quite like it myself.

Download: Title: Binary Filename: binary.it	Posted Tue 22nd Sep 2020 Rated 10 / 10
Simply outstanding. It’s got a forlorn, grandiose feeling to it, as though the song represents a long-forgotten empire. Though I’m not an expert on the subject, the sample quality overall seems very good. Combine that with some fantastic melodies, and you have one fine piece of under-appreciated music.

Download: Title: Antrahid Filename: eftos_antrahid_v2_0.it	Posted Sun 26th Jul 2020 Rated 9 / 10
Some nicely intense techno in tandem with some ominous synths. I like how in-your-face this song is without it being totally chaotic, though I will admit that it might be an acquired taste for many people. Still, check it out if you wish to experience something different! Out of all the versions of "Antrahid" uploaded here -- and anywhere, for that matter -- I feel this is the best, most complete one.

Download: Title: into the pyramid Filename: into_the_pyramid_v2.xm	Posted Tue 21st Jul 2020 Rated 10 / 10
I like the spooky vibe this one gives off, how it eventually builds up to a mystifying conclusion as one approaches the Pyramid’s center. Of course, that’s how I envision a scenario with this song as the background music, anyways. Great work!

Download: Title: Circus of Kismet Filename: ilmarque_-_circus_of_kismet.it	Posted Sun 9th Feb 2020 Rated 10 / 10
This is some fantastic dark circus music! It's got the frenetic energy and underlying goofiness that make for an excellent ride throughout. Highly recommended, and I'm glad this piece is archived!

Download: Title: rob me if you can Filename: rob_me_if_you_can.xm	Posted Wed 1st Jan 2020 Rated 10 / 10
Oh hey, I know this track! It was used in that "Sumotori Dreams" game as its main theme. A pity Nagz went uncredited, but I understand why the game's developers chose this piece; it's catchy in an understated and goofy way that suits their game's tone. While the piece is short, I love it! Many have compared the song to Bill Wurtz's works, so if you enjoy his music, "Rob Me While You Can" may be up your alley.

Download: Title: Bacon Cookies Filename: pip-baconcookies.it	Posted Thu 25th Jul 2019 Rated 10 / 10
This tune is a rip-roaring good time! This feels like a theme tune for beating down a villainous redneck; I love it.

Download: Title: Electric Heating Filename: electric_heating.xm	Posted Tue 4th Jun 2019 Rated 10 / 10
It's epic, energetic, hopeful, and maybe even a little bit dangerous... "Electric Heating" is an absolute classic. I have to give Nighthawk props for utilizing recurring riffs from his other works, "Cyber City" and "The Liberator." As far as I've seen on this site, leitmotifs are uncommon, but I greatly welcome them.

Download: Title: beyond_it_all.xm Filename: beyond_it_all.xm	Posted Thu 30th May 2019 Rated 10 / 10
SUPER fitting for a final boss fight. Really triumphant, but also tense, making the song fitting for such a climax. Certain elements remind me of Elwood’s works while still remaining distinct on its own, particularly how wonderfully grandiose the song feels. I personally think this is Cyn’s finest track! (Forgive the genre assignment; I was having trouble pinpointing exactly what this track should be categorized as.)

Download: Title: fastest.s3m Filename: fastest.s3m	Posted Tue 28th May 2019 Rated 1 / 10
The rest of this tracker's music is pretty good. This? This isn't appealing, even if it was made as a joke. It's not even music, so it gets the lowest rating by default.

Download: Title: All for the rain Filename: all_for_the_rain.xm	Posted Sun 3rd Feb 2019 Rated 9 / 10
A bit on the short side, but it makes the most out of what time it has. I wish I knew who wrote this piece.

Download: Title: Anguish Factory Filename: anguish_jpc.xm	Posted Sun 27th Jan 2019 Rated 9 / 10
Positively terrifying in a very effective way! I love how the song progresses and evolves to accentuate the already prevalent despair. It kind of makes me lament the scarcity of horror-themed modules, but perhaps I haven't looked hard enough.

Download: Title: dust world Filename: dust_world.it	Posted Sun 27th Jan 2019 Rated 2 / 10
Now, I am not a music expert by any stretch of the means, and my conclusion may be drawn from personal distaste… But I can’t recommend this track. It’s unpleasantly loud, egregiously repetitive, and sounds suspiciously similar to many of this user’s other tracks, of which they share similar issues with. I get a distinct feeling that these tracks are mass-produced, given just how many the user churns out within such a short time. I feel some improvement could be made if this user slowed down and focused on only a couple of projects at a time, thereby granting room for variety and creativity.
