genesis (genesis.mod)

Judging by the frequent change of musical themes, I dare to assume that this module was used in some demo, but I don't know which one, though. What can I write about the module itself? Well, its duration is 3:53 and its musical themes are varied (I often use the word "variety" and its derivatives in my recent comments, but if my assumption from the first sentence is correct, then this module has to be varied because it seems to be the standard for 1990s demos to use a catchy, varied tune). It's a fast-paced tune with some slower parts. The main "trick" of this module is a rapid sample volume change. The rest of the effects are well used, so I don't see the need to mention them. Samples are fine for this kind of module. Diverse themes = lots of transitions, and some of them are quite unexpected (0:38, 2:43, 2:49). I can't say that the mentioned transitions are inappropriate, most likely, they fulfill their function completely, but they are somewhat abrupt, especially the one at 2:49. I guess I'll stop writing my "essay" at this point, because by the time this sentence was written, the comment was over 1000 characters long. To sum it up, it's an interesting tune, without any doubt. Be that as it may, it is better to hear once than read a hundred times.
