This is probably the first module I heard of Mick Rippon, oh, some 10 plus years ago. What bugged me about it was that it always sounded too quiet compared to others in a playlist, but other than that it's a nice piece with some quality tracking. A bit rave-eqsue style crossed with demostyle. Grab.

This mod use the classic techno/rave profile. It starts from the soft synth chords then they combines with deep tehcno bar. The power of theme is growing and growing. Finaly the melody themes mixes with the energy background. The arrangement consists of several synth bright instruments and several deep techno rythms. The panning and pitch bend effects brings the feel of power to this compo. Various combinations of instruments and the manner of there using give the great effect. At the end of the compo all instruments become louder and louder and finaly only several dream-like sounds are left. Overall: This is the great dance tune with the simple melody, good samples (only 8 bit) and bright arrangement. Seems that this mod was prepared with the canonical Scream Tracker technique (PC keyboard programing). The main drums theme is the special instrument. The great number of tricks (SampOffset, Part note) are welldone combine. To my mind there are too few panning-like effects. Overall: The correct manner of using effects produce bright great sound in this techno dance tune.
