Fluffy Meets Elwood? - looper231_-_fluffy_meets_elwood.xm	Review Score: 10/10

Overall Impression (10/10)

Overall impression? Need I say anything? It's just THAT good.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (10/10)

In my opinion, FT2's limitations made it difficult for me to make much with it. But that's me. We're focusing on LPR here. His effort in this module is astounding.

Development (10/10)

The transitions are nice, they blend like fruit, and EQ problems are mostly on my part due to my shitty amp.

Creativity (10/10)

Pattern 18's lead is absolutely godsent. I found myself headbanging to this while it was on.

Enjoyment (10/10)

There's almost no repetition, the drum sequencing is excellent. The lead on Pattern 18 as mentioned before is excellent. Every sample in this module was used to the best of its abilities.

Drill Me - drillme_finalized.xm	Review Score: 8/10

Overall Impression (9/10)

Very nice module, great effort. Since it's a track meant for one of your games, I can understand that it's meant to loop continuously. As I'm typing this, this song has already looped 8 times in OpenMPT.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (10/10)

I absolutely love the bell-like pad (sample 7) and how the pitch of it changes ever so slightly in a wacky fashion. The bassline (sample 8) is really nice as well and sounds really crisp and clean when listening with a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770s. However, I'm not too keen on the tom sample (sample 6); when I hear it at a high pitch, it just...sounds odd to me. I dunno, I think that's just me, I'm sure others may like it more than I do. I will concede, however, that the detail in the drums otherwise is very well rounded and put together in a professional fashion.

Development (7/10)

If I may guess, you really paid attention to the mix for all the samples...except for the bass (sample 8). It sounds just a bit too loud. However, regarding other samples, the bell-like pad (sample 7) seems a bit on the quiet side. However, I can hear both samples just fine, so although I do believe sample 7 should be louder and sample 8 should be only slightly quieter, I wouldn't necessarily say it HAS to be that way.

Creativity (9/10)

I really, really like the tempo of the song. 160 beats per minute and a 5 tick/row speed (which, when played back with OpenMPT, choosing Player > Approximate Real BPM, it comes back at 192 BPM), it really sounds like it would fit rather well with a battle in a JRPG game given its speed. The melody fits really well with the correlating instruments. The drums are ordered in a catchy rhythm. What more could I want? The answer is nothing; this track has its very slight flaws, but it's a great track overall.

Enjoyment (6/10)

Despite the fact that it is only a little bit repetitive, the kick drum and the bell-like pad that I mentioned before really stand out to me. Honestly, this is staying in my collection. I really like this.
