This is one of my favorite songs by Skaven. It only gets better as you progress throughout the song!

A very good song, with tons of variation. Nice use of the S3M technologies. Comparing this "remixed" version to the original, the only real difference I can find is the panning, which I'd actually say is better in the original. Still, either version is worth the download and listen.

Well, as far as the title goes, its a remix but i havent heard the original so i havent got anything to directly compare it to. But this is what i think - Ok, it starts out with a thin texture of synthy sound effects and progresses into the main body of the tune with crunching synth drums. As far as the whole tune is concerend, the tune is brilliant all the way through! Superb use of synth sounds and drums, the melody and chord is constantly changed thoughout with very FEW repeats. Its a mod that reminds me of how music used to be 5 years ago, with pure genius behind the engineering of proper synth music with original ideas. It's consistant hard work all the way through this mod, and it ends with a good ending too! (yeah, no excuses for lame fade out's here...) Overall: Excellent synth music. This artist KNOWS how to use Screamtracker... :0) I could listen to this over and over again and still find new bits i hadn't heard the previous time round. Guess... go on, guess... well if you read what i said above, then it would probably have to have brilliant engineering, and yes it does. Excellent use of swishing pitch bends, panning, echoing and a feast full of others. Samples of the sounds are a bit low on quality, but this actually adds that extra crunchy atmosphere to a hard synth tune. Overall: superb use of effects, samples and generally shows the pure genius behind the artist's tracking abilities. A recommended download for lovers for synth music of the early 90's.
