Hi! in reference to the NTmodules favorites listing (I hope I'm in the right place), my favorite is Rainynight. It starts with a storm brewing (actually in progress, duh). Rain, occasional thunder, then you realize you're in a city, an old fashioned one (think of while you're listening to this, old England, the cobblestone streets) because of a carriage passing by. (stereo... listen carefully, it goes from left to right!!!) Then you hear (!) a motorcycle drive away, a car beep its horn, then slowly the music enters beautifully. After a short bar, the beat comes in, keeping a steady smooth but non-insistent pulse. Kinda belongs in alt.sex where there was a thread about music to make love to. This one's a winner here! Anyway, the strings sound nice, very nice. Real nice, smooth, mellow, if you repeat it it's alright (end fits with beginning). The other that I find worth it is BatDance. It's cute, and the friends around sorta like it. Also, I renamed one as 2010, because one of the sounds digitized says "open the pod bay doors, Hal." Very good music. Kefrens I believe did it. Last but not least on my favorites list is (damn, I forgot which one:) well, either demolition or masqrade. Those are my feelings. Opinions. Garnered from a two-month period of intense LISTENING and analyzing the textures of the sounds produced... never mind.

Finally... Some talk about who prefers which modules and so on...
so I'll join now :-)
Here are the ones I like (in totally random order):
Complications (by Danko):
The one from My Room-demo by Celebrandil
Very strong beat and good samples.
Occ-San-Geen (by Uncle Tom):
This one is from Seven Sins demo by Slayer (Scoopex).
Again strong feeling and quick arpeggios (no, not chords ... just rapid (every
3rd frame) notesequences that usually are based on the notes of some chord)
Hmmm.... suddenly all music disappered from my mind, but I'll post more
of my favourites when I recall them (with deeper analysis maybe).
Nowadays there is so much good music available (various musicdisks and new
demos every once in a while) that keeping track of the good ones is a lot
harder job than it sounds. And the quality has improved so much that I'm
worried that if I can ever catch them (I've made some (hmmm.. in fact quite
a lot) music myself with various tools... although mainly with NT)
Keep working on good tunes :-)
