technostyle iii (techno3.mod)

For a 30-year old mod, this track has held up quite well over the years. Great job, Xenox.

It brings back the nostalgia of it being packaged with Bunny Killer III, a classic Macintosh 68K game. For me it brings back fond memories of unloading on a shooting gallery of radioactive rabbits between classes.

It pairs well with other similar arpeggio style pop/techno MODs, such as Android Rupture and Freefall by Baroque.

This song has a catching rhythm and a good bassline. The melody may appear a bit simple and repetitive, but there are some nice variations. The typical techno chords and hits are present, and a panflute and synth string play the melody line. The song has a good intro, but the end is a bit abrupt. A quality piece considering the small size of the file. With only 4 channels available, the artist has done an excellent job. He managed to include an echo effect for almost every instrument, and that's what makes this song so complete. One might recognize the samples in this module, and indeed, they are exactly the same as in 'technostyle ii' also by xenox... but hey, why would he replace something that's good?
