- I suggest we start module reviews for all of the people out there that want
- to know which mods to download. Here's my favorite:
- The sentences in curly brackets {} are just comments for future reviewers.
-
- *** Basic Info
- MODULE NAME: enigma
- {Could be called enigma.mod or mod.enigma or just enigma}
-

-
- SIZE(uncompressed): 187K
-
- LENGTH (TIME): ~6 minutes
-
- MODULE TYPE: Pro-Tracker
-
- *** Rating
- RATING (IMHO): ****
- {Out of 4 stars, really bad songs get negative 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
- {If you can't name the type then tell what it isn't}
-
- REPETITIVENESS: not repetative
-
- LOOPING: Optional
- { Types:
- Full - End to beginning
- Mid - Loop end to middle
- Optional - Can loop, but not necessary
- Play - Looping within pages of the mod }
-
- CHANNEL SWITCHING: Not noticible.
- { When an instrument "travels" from one channel to another, usually
- quite annoying when it is the lead instrument. ie Phantasmagoria.ntii
- when the drums and main instruments switch from Left to Right}
-
- *** About the samples
- SAMPLE QUALITY: Very good.
-
- NOTICED SAMPLES: One sample from Star Control
- { When you've heard a sample from somewhere else, name the source }
-
- EFFECTS: Used to pitch-bend the main sample. Very well done.
-

- 1 M Chip Yes
- 2 M Chip Yes
- { Will it work with memory configurations... }
-
- LOCATION AVAILABLE: ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu

-
- PLAYERS: EdPlayer
- MultiPlayer
- and no IBM players that I have heard so far!!!! hehe
- { The mod players that play the song the way I think it should sound }
-
- *** 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. And If someone else out there will post a
- better format, please do so.
