Song info:
No emotions, no worries.
This is the world of peace.

This is a very old song of mine... It's composed in the year 2001, but it
wasn't until 4 years later that I decided to release this piece in
Modarchive. Okay, so I admit... I uploaded this song just so that I can
sign up as an artist in Modarchive so that I can put up some more
explainations about my songs. I've been having lots of e-mails from game
developers who want to use my songs in their games, and I just have to do
this.

Please, play on ModPlug Tracker 1.16 or higher or ModPlug Player 1.46 or
higher only!

Technical option:
Please set Reverb to "Auditorium" and move the slider to precisely in
between Low and High. Do not enable Reverb. (This module has already being
set to internally enable the reverb effect on only certain channels.
However, you can optionally delete all S99 commands at the beginning in
the first pattern and it can still sound right. That is if you don't mind
having no nice reverb in this song...)
Please do not enable Surround or even AGC.

This indeed is a good song. I'm no musical expert, but I give it only an 7: where it excelled with good rhythm and "catchiness," it was repetitive and lacked in any challenging musical techniques.
In response to another comment which expressed a frustration with libmodplug, I use debian-distro linux and at first was unable to hear anything but a beat. However, unzipping the file, I can (or so I believe) hear the song in its full glory. Libmodplug is for the xmms sound player, but xmms died with xmms2. Try using Audacious. As far as I can tell, it has no dependency on libmodplug, though I could be mistaken. With the associated plugins, everything should work fine.

Wow. Great melody, perfect samples. I love this tune!

Uhhh... this doesn't work on any libmodplug players, ironically... or SchismTracker... I haven't tested it on ImpulseTracker, but I have a feeling it might not even work on that.
Honestly, this thing works better on Mikmod than any libmodplug stuff.
It works on OpenMPT but 1. I have to use Wine to run it (I use FreeBSD), as it's essentially a Windows application, and 2. that takes ages to respond.
I quite like this track, but PLEASE, PLEASE, *PLEASE* avoid using modplug extensions at all costs if you're going to release anything to modarchive!

Yes, this song really is outstanding. Perfectly well-balanced instruments (which is of good quality also), great transitions into the different parts of the song, partly thanks to the great use of effects. Wonderful melodies.

This song is warmly recommended.

Wow... another extraordinary melodic trance song by Zanoma (Marwan Green Critter). This song was well worth the wait, having been composed in 2001 and uploaded just recently in 2005. Like all of Zanoma's previous works, this song is a technical and musical masterpiece. The main melody begins immediately, which can be likened to an emotionally uplifting arpeggio. As the song progresses, more and more complexity is applied, especially when the song hits it's trance aspect versus the atmospheric opening. This part is the most striking - the melody remains identical, but is instead composed of quickly stepping harmonics, giving the song a definite pulse. Midway through the song, the song switches pace and melody, becoming pure electronic trance, building anticipation for the finale, which is a return to the original melody whilst reapplying all the previous ground covered in the song. The music rating of this song is probably more accurately an 9 due to the fact that the same melody is used throughout (which is why it is trance, I guess), which can make it lacking in repeat listenability value. The reason I put it at 10 is because I realized that this song has extraordinary potential, due to the strength of the melody and the fact that it is one of the most emotionally uplifting pieces I have found on the Mod Archive. Very rarely due you have a song that actually inspires feelings like this one. Zanoma remains in my estimation one of the most tecnically well-versed trackers in the entire modscene. This song demonstrates his volume and portamento wizardry, and is a shining example of how to track a song professionally. If the makers of ModPlug knew what he could do with their product, I am quite positive they would be proud.
