Daniel Barrett Lines: 82 Sender: amiga-reviews@math.uh.edu (comp.sys.amiga.reviews moderator) Distribution: world Message-ID: <1k1ldmINN1mj@menudo.uh.edu> Reply-To: jerry@rock.csh.rit.edu (Jerry (or8)) NNTP-Posting-Host: karazm.math.uh.edu Keywords: mod, music, new age Basic Info ========== MODULE NAME: enigma (Could also be called "enigma.mod" or "mod.enigma".) AUTHOR: Tip and Firefox SIZE (uncompressed): 187K LENGTH (TIME): 6 minutes approximately MODULE TYPE: Pro-Tracker Rating ====== RATING (IMHO): **** (4 out of 4 stars) REASON: The music plays through a few different styles. I think it has a classic sound. It's currently my favorite mod. The first time I heard it, I could've sworn I'd heard it before. About the music =============== MUSIC TYPE: Kinda new-age, Not Techno, Not Dance, Not Rave REPETITIVENESS: not repetitive LOOPING: Optional (can loop, but not necessary) CHANNEL SWITCHING: Not noticeable. (When an instrument "travels" from one channel to another, usually quite annoying when it is the lead instrument.) About the samples ================= SAMPLE QUALITY: Very good. NOTICED SAMPLES: One sample from Star Control EFFECTS: Used to pitch-bend the main sample. Very well done. General Info ============ WORKS WITH MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS: 512K Chip Yes, With extra fast mem though. 1 M Chip Yes 2 M Chip Yes LOCATION AVAILABLE: ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu ftp nic.funet.fi PLAYERS: EdPlayer MultiPlayer and no IBM players that I have heard so far!!!! hehe Other Notes =========== I hope other people out there will join in with me and review other music modules, so that good authors will get recognition, and dweeby nom-nom mod listeners (like myself) will know what a lot of those mods are that we see out there. -- =''' jerry@ROCK.csh.rit.edu __. c oo sdl7253@ultb.isc.rit.edu ///.
