Well, they stink !!!. Stink as in compared to what? All of those brunobox mods everyone keeps drooling over, I thought were rather lame, IMHO. I have *YET* to hear one module from ab20, that even excites me. I don't know what your musical tastes are but I question it. There has not been a single module that I have even considered as listenable. After about 3-5 minutes of listening to ANY module I am grinding my teeth wanting to put a CD in. Yes, they are ALL *THAT* bad. About the only purpose that ANY of them serve is as background music in a demo or background in a game to keep the action going. As far as serious listening, no. None of them. Not even mine. Of course, as I stated in another post... I write MED modules. I DO NOT write techno-synth. I have never written it. I do not like it. It grinds on me. Perhaps that's why I don't like ANY modules out there. They are MOSTLY techno-synth which is rather old and past their time, IMO. I would say that the MED modules are no worse or no better than ANY other modules out there. There are some particularly unmelodic songs I have heard, but they both span NT/ST and MED modules alike. There are some songs which are more melodic than others, but they all are missing something that I can't put my finger on (that keep them from being 'excellent'). One last note, if hear that 'This is a journey into sound' sample ONE MORE TIME, I'll barf. >4) about U4IA : excellent work . I want more !!!!! > I close my eyes and I am in a warehouse !!! It *CAN'T* be THAT great. Last time I took the advice of someone that says to listen to a module, I was sadly dissappointed. Yes, I know you aren't telling me to listen to this module, but saying a module is 'great' is like an open invitation to go pick it up. No thanks, I'll pass. > > Walt -------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Wright wright%etsuvax2@ricevm1.rice.edu or wright@etsuvax2.bitnet -------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Disclaimer... not my words and all that jazz.

None of them. Not even mine. Gee, I really love people who post3 screens worth of "I don't like what you said, because I have different tastes than you" messages. Just relax. Why did everybody in the world need to know that you don't particularly like ST/NT modules? p.s.

I don't get terribly excited about many of the tracker tunes. I got one from ab20 called 'rainy night' . No thumping bassline, but nice and slow. It starts off with sounds of rain falling and thunder. Al.

I personally don't mind the techno-acid-house-whatever mods at times, as long as that isn't ALL they are (I.E. the beat crops up occasionally, but it isn't just lotsa base with a few sound samples thrown in)...for instance, even in an incredible mod like "Scrambled Mind", the beat comes up. But it qorks very nicely with the music, and the overall mod is very soothing. I think the same thing applies to mods like Spell-Amelioration (did I get it right?!)...VERY GOOD. Just my $0.02...okay, so it was more like $1.25... Daryl Bartley dmon@cscihp.ecst.csuchico.edu -- This is only a test.
