- Howdy Kerry...shortly after I listened to the mod you posted here (I'm
- assuming you mean Twilight Dreams as I haven't seen another in here by
- you) I posted you privately, but got no response. (I was away for a
- while and if you answered, my host might have purged it after a certain
- period, but I don't think it does that...anyway...).
-
- Following is the letter I sent you. Okay, so now it's public, but what
- they hey?

- Hiya Kerry...
-
- I noticed you were seeking opinions on the Twilight Dreams module you
- sent to the c.s.a.audio newsgroup. Well, I grabbed it and had a listen,
- and here is my (admittedly unprofessional) capsule critique:
-
- Basically I thought it was pretty good. A bit above average, but
- nothing extraordinary. I did, however, appreciate the Enigma/Shadow of
- the Beast type mixture though. :) I do prefer this slower, new-agey type
- style. The only negatives I can think of (I'm listening to it at the
- moment, by the way)...the flute gets a bit whiney at points (the
- occasional echo/background accompaniment was nice), and overall the song
- was a bit repetitive.
-
- Bear in mind, though, that it is much easier to pick nits than to praise
- things. Just for your own interest, if I were to scale this MOD, I'd
- give it about a 6.5-7.0 (woul'da been higher if you had a cleaner
- landing!). :)
-
- Lessee...ummm...I don't have much in the way of credentials to be
- spouting criticism, but I have a collection of MODs approaching 2000, so
- I do have some "experience" I guess. Everyone's tastes are different,
- though, so don't take any of this too seriously.
-
- If you have more personal MODs in a similar style (or any for that
- matter), you can feel free to bloat 'em up with uuencoding and send 'em
- my way, I'd be more than happy to criticize...errr...offer more opinions.
- :)

- I hope my level of subtlety was acceptable. :) My opinions are always as
