First of all, two things. 1: This is my first review for Mod Archive. 2: This Mod is 5mb Zipped. But it is a really good song. It is basically split into two seperate sections, an intro and a conclusion. Now don't get me wrong with those titles, each is about 2 1/2min long. The first section is real ambient, orchestral sounding. Very mood setting, It would fit perfectly as the opening to a game or movie. The music then transitions very nicely into a more techno-like section. This part of the song was done very well as well (ok, that did sound funny) and reminded me of many songs from the Unreal Soundtrack. It kinda merges back into an orchestral section again before the song ends. The ending is not abrupt at all, it's a great piece of music. The samples for this piece were really well done. There were no crackles or pops evident. All the parts were just the right volume in relation to eachother, the bass and harmony was loud enough to be heard but not so loud that it overpowered the melody. The techno section gets a little repetitive after a second, but luckily it changes right away so you don't notice it too much. The length of the song is just right, not too short, but not too long either. My only complaint with it is the size of the file. The quality of samples I have heard in other pieces that are only 200kb in size and the length of this is not that long either. This is a real annoyance when you download it, probably why there are so few downloads. I highly recommend Downloading it and listening to it, despite th size. Daedalus really knows what he is doing and has created a masterful work of musical art. Enjoy.
