Antarctica (a-00.xm)

I dont agree with the review on this module. For a start, there is no bass line. No bass instrument to juxtapose the so-called melody with - which, because it's using 5th notes makes the melody seem out of tune. This is a terrible rape of the beautiful song by Vangelis. Shockingly subjective review score (7). Not objectivly reviewed at all.

This is a decently made theme song from Antarctica- does the artist mean the Coleco game Antarctica? This reminds me of that game. There are a couple of memorable percussion sequences, and the mood is good. Some big flaws are that it is very repetitive and has poor part transitions. If this was a little smoother and more varied, it would've gotten an 8 or 9. Artists uses envelopes- check; Artist tracks music rather than using prerecorded instrument sequences- check. Mainly consisting of cymbals and bass drums simply reversed and saved as a separate sample, with a slightly scratchy lead instrument, this could have been made better. This artist has more than a few songs on MODA, so I hope this is one of his older songs.
