Blazin' My Own Trail (neonz-blazin.it)

Overall Impression (8/10)

The song sounds very good, and has some quality tracking work in it. From first listen, I wasn't extremely impressed by everything, but I did enjoy listening to it. There are some improvements that can be made, but overall it's a good mod and I would recommend a listen.

Technique, Arrangement, Composition (7/10)

The tracking on this mod was done well, though I noticed a few places where loop instruments were used that weren't stopped properly. Usually the "stop a loop with another sample" technique was used, and otherwise the loop continued on the same note for a long while. Other than that, some good slide and reverb effects.

Development (9/10)

The classic "layered" melodic technique was used here. It starts out with one or two instruments playing, puts in another, and another, and a few more. In the middle, it basically mixes around all of the "layers," and the melody really takes off. A very funkish, fun melody to listen to. The rhythm section is put together quite well, even with some bongos in a couple places. Melody flows quite well throughout the entire piece. The one part that jarred my ears was the part with the dissonant chord near the end... other than that, very neat.

Creativity (7/10)

Nothing amazingly original, but very well put together. Sounds like a classic modstyle track from the 90's almost. A little bit repetitive, with some parts used at least twice throughout the mod. Still, it holds together and each theme flows together.

Enjoyment (9/10)

Despite the repetitiveness of the module, it is nice to listen to at least 2 or three times in succession, and I would certainly listen to it later. Not one that I would listen to for years to come (as in "not a classic"), but it will remain a part of my module collection. :)

Additional Comment

I recommend a listen or two. Some parts are iffy, little repetitive, tracking could use polishing, but altogether a fine addition to TMA.
