Back in the year 1994 Mr.Man belonged to the group called Andromeda and in those days he composed this lovely piece of music. It is a ballad, but the chorus manages to sound like it would be from an adventuremovies climax.=) The beginning of this track is marvelous. It starts with strings and piano leaving some room to the flute and pecussions in the background. This part of the song is the best thing of this track in my opinion. Then the song raises into first chorus. It is quite massive (in a way that 4-channel mod can be) and the leading instruments are trumpets and orchestral drums. Then after a small chill, the chorus returns. The outro is also awesome... Piano and strings rule here and it just sounds so great. Too bad that this is the end of the song. I would've loved to hear some more of this. If this track would consist only from intro and outro, I would like it.=) But it works with the chorus too.=) Overall this track was really good and with the lenght of 3 minutes it never starts to sound boring. If I remember correctly, this one also belongs to Ghidorah's favorites, so why wait? Check this one out.=) Nice technics here. Effects are used well and there are pretty much of them. As an old module there have been used 8-bit samples, but still the sound is quite clear. Melodies and textures are great, despite the fact that the chorus part left me a feeling that something was missing... Well, I guess it because you just cannot do everything you want with 4 channels. No bigger flaws. There is one point where arpeggio sounds weird, but it might be that it has come when the module was converted from amiga to pc, but that is minor thing compared to the positive things in this song...=)
