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.
