mod.06 (fave.mod)

This song starts off with a slow-paced, melancholic string melody. Then a distorted flute comes in, as well as a badly mixed and looped chord. After about a minute, a boring bassline and equally boring drumtrack kick in, and the song becomes less sad sounding. This goes on for a while, and a synth lead plays a decent melody, but the song switches back to the old melody for the end. The samples are decent quality (for an old MOD), except for the horribly distorted flute and the short looping chord. While the first sample slot is blank, the comment suggests that the ST-01:Alien sample was meant to go there, but if added there, it does not blend with the song well. Since the second sample is a major chord made with ST-01:Strings7, a minor chord with the same sample seems to fit well in the first slot. Only five effect types are used. I don't recommend downloading this. It's just an old MOD with not a thing noteworthy about it.

The tune starts with strings and a flute. I like the intro, it has a nice melody. Then, a good synth bass and also nice drums start to play. And a synth lead plays some melodies. I like those as well. The four channels aren't maximally filled with all sorts of samples, so the tune is pretty simple, its background consisting just of bass and simple drums. I think the mod's simplicy isn't a serious disadvantage, though, It sounds fairly good. Not wonderful, but just good. The samples are acceptable, although they aren't fantastic. The bass and the drums are ok, the flute has some distortion, it is very tiny, but audible, mainly because it plays in the beginning, when there are no drums yet and every unwanted sound is easy to catch. Generally this tune is technically just as an old module. I think only people who like tracked music will enjoy the tune...
