Title: What Do We Do? Filename: da_what.xm |
Posted Wed 24th Nov 1999
Rated 6 / 10 |
| Starts with techno-drums, strings and filter (kinda). The two last mentioned, doesn't fit to well to eachother .. abit out-of-tune. It isn't monotonous, but its .. "locked". Nice vocals and stuff, but it isn't so "round" as I want it to be. During in 2:41 min, and the end is rather good. Exept from the vocals, this isn't very refreshing inside music. The samples are good, all together is complicated, and the effects is used in the right place, at the right time. A cool beat-sample arrives after ca. 10 secs. which is well. The patterns are organised well, but I feel that something is missing. | |

Title: the year 3000 Filename: 3000.mod |
Posted Wed 24th Nov 1999
Rated 4 / 10 |
| Pjuh.. this was really exhausty to listen to. It wasn't too much change between each pattern, and some times it's both out-of-tune and -time. Many samples with BAD quality. Something is new and refreshing, but since the module wasn't the composers idea .. (ripped) it's a minus. There is some drums here, but you almost can't hear it, cause the pianothing (?) was to volumed. Better at the technical side .. complicated, but insignificant effects. The samps isn't the best, and a voice ("the year 3000") which is very boring and monotonous. This music isn't for those who like groovie stuff .. nope. .. | |

| This techno module is bad. A bad melodee .. that the composer just change the samples, so it sounds fresh, but ..huh ..nope. After 30 secs. a very bad sample flies in and make the song seen by an other point of view. But it was bad. And amasing enough .. after 50 secs. an even BADER sample comes in. 1:20 .. a drum which is MEGA-out-of-time. Not a technical wonder .. it isn't cool, original, refreshing, complicated, almost no effects and bad samples. Alltogether, makes the song like a BIG mistake. Some cooler samples, and more creativity have been great to have here..... | |

Rated 4 / 10 |
| Starts with some really sad strings, followed by a .. spaceshiplanding (?). After 25 secs., some basses and drums arrives, and I think it's too much volume on those drums. It's really crappy to listen to. Somekinda melodee brakes in after 2 min., but then it's too late. (the song is 2:50) And the melodee is monotonous too. I didn't notise any out-of-tunes but it sure sound bad, anyways. It isn't complicated, maybe an exeptment from a rrrrr-thing. Almost no effects are used, and the samples isn't the best choice aswell. More ambient stuff, maybe? Well .. anyway, it sounds uncool :( | |

| Well, there are no melodee in this techno module, or something which can make it better "listenfriendly". Alltogether is actually very monotonous and simple. A bass which continously do the same, some no-cool rythm/drums and the groove-factor is bad aswell. No out-of-tunes here, but with no melodee, it almost can't BE o-o-tune. It isn't a wonder a the tech.side either, it isn't complicated, there isn't used many effects or nothing which is refreshing. The samples is a bit cheap .. some awesome samps could have fixed the song much better then it is. Not too much changed patterns, I can really tell ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨---__:) | |

| Yoo! This music was different. Very cool samples, but the strings are used *fucked* wrong. Some bad breaks at those strings. It's like a dream, but sometimes its out-of-tune and -time. Nice, refreshing and original module. Like Jungle. Cool, complicated, used many effects (some are used wrong) and cool samples. A cymbal makes the dream full :) It isn't monotonous, and the melodee is very cool. Nice, nice .. download! :) | |

| This module is too monotonous. Nice beats, but its based on the same. Not a really original type of music, and there are no melodee. The start is good enough, and the end is a bit ..huh.. lame. But however, it isn't THAT bad. Not too complicated, or using of effects .. nice beat samples, but I have heard'em before. The rest of the samples are good aswell, but the song need some extra kick .. from somewhere. | |

Rated 6 / 10 |
| The start of this module .. reminds me about.. a tune.. nah! nevermind. Well, this is too much based on the same, but it isn't so bad. Sometimes it sound both out-of-tune and out-of-time, but that isn't much. (The strings make the piano sound out-of-tune.) If its titled relaxation, it should be more quiet, or more "friendly" samples. Its a bit too fast for relaxing. It is complicated, some vibrato or something maybe have fixed those melodees. The groove-factor isn't very high, and the creativity isn't the best, but I'll not protest =) Nice too listen to, and a worth downloading from you -----(=) | |

| This module is pretty cool. But it seems too simple, in a way. It was a bit monotonous also, because the composer have only changed the rythm. There are 3 melodies which switches sooner or later. It isn't out-of-tune or -time, but there are something missing here. It sound so locked. More ambient stuff would have fixed it, maybe. Nothing which is REALLY interessting, or refreshing, but it's cool. It isn't complicated actually, and there are used just 2 effects. The samples is a bit cheap, and not too groovie, u know. But I think the composer have put his heart in this, anyways....:) | |

| This techno-module is very monotonous. The same rythm, the same chip-bass, the same, the same, the same. That isn't good. The start is good, aswell the ending. But there are no refreshing inside music .. you can think you have heard it before. The strings is boring, and sometimes it may hear a bit out-of-tune. Too much volume on the bass. Nothing which impress me really here, and the samples isn't the greatest, I can really tell. It is ..hm.. moderate (-) complicated, and there are used many effects. Alltogether, it sounds really sad, but Andreas have mentioned that in the text ....:( | |

| This module of Ivanhoe is made quite good, but here and there .. some slapsy out-of-tunes destroyes much. (This is based in the middle of the song .. ca. after 2 min.) It isn't monotonous, but the start is almost equal with the end. But the end is good. The gitar is almost the only thing which is refreshing inside music here. Not too creative. It is complicated, and the effects is used regularly, but the samples have too litle volume (not the gitars). Also, there are something missing .. (hehe: "without") Good quality, but if the music haven't been based too much on gitars, it may have been better.....:) | |

| Starts with a deep bass, followed by simple drums. A lead arrives some seconds later. The song is too much based on a FX.SpaceEngine. A bit monotonous, but very okay anyway. Cool and fast rythms, and a good melody. It reminds me about MegaMan. The end could have been better, when the strings makes the space engine out-of-tune. This is very complicated and the samples are cool and good. Regularly use of effects, and some really refreshing tunes here. The groove-factor is moderate, but it's a very cool tune. Very fast module, which makes it even more Demo.....:) | |

| ??? .. this song isn't what I expected from Skaven. Starts with some shit of gitars, and the intro to the "beginning" is bad. When it "explode", some Brasslead arrives. Not too good. It's monotonous, but it isn't out-of-tune. (almost the only +) The end is hell and the song is only 1:07 long. It ain't complicated, cool, almost no effects, almost .. nothing. The samples is ok .. but not better! This is an example on what music don't should be maken. The groove-factor is like zero, and sometimes it can be out-of-time. Bad of Skaven ...:( | |

| Hmm .. in the sampletext, the composer have written "Just a play with samples". And .. it's exactly what it is. It isn't monotonous and it isn't out-of-tune .. but the patterns have no conection with eachother. Hard to say. Starts with some drums I've heard before (from the Playstationgame World Cup 98) .. and a deep bass. After ca. 2 min, some Faithless *pluck* (?) arrives. Technically this is ok. It isn't too complicated, and there isn't used much effects. I don't really understand the title of this song, and just I have told before: No conection between the patr. The samples are good. But it isn't the best choice. | |

| This ballad stylish module is good. Cool pianostart, and some original drums fit perfectly in here. It isn't monotonous and there are no out-of-tunes. But there are something .. something which just isn't right. Difficult to say, actually. 1 min. left and some lead arrives, but there are really something which missing. Less good ending. Technically this is very good. Complicated, and regularly used effects. The samples are very good and cool, and the volume is set almost perfectly. Maybe a bit too musch volume at the drums. The technic is very good. ... :) | |

It's a bit monotonous, the half are different. Not really a melody in this fast rave/new age tune. Technically this is very complicated and it's used regularly effects. Nice samples, but some of them are to "volumed". I think Skaven have used a lot of his sparetime on this, and it's really nice to listen to. Worth downloading .. ..-) | |

It isn't very refreshing inside music, but there are some synthchords which I, personally, like. No melody, not really cool rythms, and no groove. Technically it's very okay. It's complicated and it's used regularly effects all the way. (Sometime the effects is overused) The samples are okay enough, and the volume is good.. | |

| This kinda music make me feel hot, actually. Very fast drums, with cool rythms makes it good. There are fill-ins here which make the groove-factor rising. Isn't out-of-tune, but it's a bit monotonous. At times it sounds out-of-time, but it isn't THAT often so it really don't make the module damaged. Synth/Chip basses, which is very fast and good. The intro is rather good, but at 40 secs. I really thought it would Xplode .. it didn't. Technically this is good. Complicated, regularly used of effects and some really fine samples. Could have been better set in peaces, but it's good anyways. Better changed patterns, and it have been better. | |

| Hmm .. very good music by Icicle, and the rythms are pretty cool, but it's kinda monotonous. Cool melody, but it goes over and over again. The introducing with flowing sea, and some .. *whales- sounds* is veru okay. But the *whales* is a bit overused. At 1:53 some synths arrives, and makes the song fresh. But it could have been better, with more changed melody and patterns. Technically, this isn't a wonder, but the idea is very good. Regularly used effects, and cool samples, makes it good. I really think the composer have put his heart in this nice ditty. You can safely download it, if you like ambient and mysterious sounds. | |

| Well, this rock-module starts with somekinda drumfill-in, which introducese a bass. The bass haven't got the perfect volume, or maybe the drumvolume is too high. A long cymbal arrives, and I really think the volume could have been set down a few points. It drives me nutz! 360 degrees? Well, if so .. it should have been kinda live, but the only thing which is live, is the hihats. (or .. it sounds live) Too short, and it's a bit monotonous. A cool bassrythm, and some ok gitars .. makes the song a bit better :) Technically, this song is moderate. The composer knows what rock is, but some cheap samples, makes it bad here. Could have been much longer, and I really don't get the feeling of being "360 degrees". I'm cold. | |

At the end a famous christmas-song arrives, but sometime there are something which just isn't right here. This is a good song for christmas-moral and happines. This song is complicated and it's used regularly effects. I know there are a melody here, but I can't hear it so well.

| This module is veru okay made. Cool drum rythms, but he uses the same bass over and over again, which is very exhausty to listen to. Cause when the tone is pretty high, all the "volume" is bass, in a strange way. It's made very fast, with some freaked out drums here and there. And something which reminds me about a bad motorcycle..) Technically, this is pretty nice, with regularly used effects, and some really cool samples .. some samples are from Beatles Live. There are new things here I haven't heard so much of before, and some overused tones. Pretty cool all together, but are freaked out---:) | |

| This slow chiptune, is a bit weird and there are really almost nothing changes between the patterns. With other words, a bit monotonous. At the first of the module it seems to be a bit out of tune, but later it isn't. No melody, no drums (exactly), just strings and chipbasses. Not really the coolest mod I've heard. The almost only change in the different patterns is the chords of some vibe-strings. Technically, this isn't a dream, and it seems to me that the composer haven't put the heart into it. I bit hard to understand, cause it's a bit locked I think. Not many effects are used and it isn't difficult to make (complicated) really. | |

It is very monotonous .. just 10 of 37 are different, but you kinda forget it, cause it's set up good. Not really anything new and refreshing inside music .. maybe some vibe-chords, but that isn't much. And the melody, if I can call it that, isn't creative at all. It isn't so very complicated and the samples is at the edge with cheap, but the drums are in good rythm. Isn't used many effects, but the oboe, which is the "melody sample", have an automatic vibrato. A bit short, just 1:31 min. -:) | |

Freaked out "lead-dupps" and something at the first which reminds me about small bies. The music have no matter with what music is. Maybe had some melody or something refreshing inside music.

Small chanced patterns, and in everything, there are some Bad out of tunes. The groove-factor are on the edge with zero. There are many samples here (36) but why have so many when you don't know how to use them? It isn't complicated, no effects, and no melody. The samples are well enough, but the title are meaningless. Starts with out of tunes with the piano and somekinda freaked leadbass. This module is a techno, but technolovers shouldn't use the time on these kind of songs.....:( | |

There are no out of tunes, but it sure is boring this. Not really exiting drums or other things. Maybe I exaggerate when I say this but: there are almost the same over and over again in 7:00 whole minutes. Not really a melody here, but it isn't needed, exactly. It is both complicated, and nice. And the effects are regularly used, but the samples is a bit too cheap. Some Leadbass at the first are .. well .. something.

Something the composer should have used, is creativity. Continously bassdrums isn't the thing I like the most. Nothing which keep me saying "more, more, more" .. and technically this isn't complicated, or composed good. The rythm sux, with no changes at all .. and some ok samples. For everything I know ..

The Category (soft), can be like a ballad. The melody should have been a bit louder, but the song is good. Effects are used regularly, and the song is complicated .. I think Xerxes have used a lot of time on this nice ditty. The samples are from himself, scorpik, Jogeir Liljedahl, dune and scirocco. Good choice of the samples. And a good choice for you :) | |

The melody must have more volume. The groove-factor are moderate, and there aren't many new things in the song. Many effects are used regularly, and it is a bit complicated.
