- Sick isn't it? After having collected MODs for a while, and after
- having started out thinking that a larger MOD was likely to be
- better (through some form of twisted logic), I've since found that
- the largest MODs are most often impressive ONLY in their size. I can
- only think of a few MODs weighing in at ~350K+ that are not only NOT
- just batches of sampled beats, but also damn good tunes in their own
- rights. I'm thinking of Beyond Music (432K), Face Another Day
- (449K), and Space Debris (347K)...I'm sure there are others, but
- percentage wise they'll be extremely few.
