    |  I'm starting with very long, climatic and weird tune. It leads you  |
    |  into the moon. But the moon needs your thoughts and soul. You can't |

    |  Climate + ambient strings. Xerxes is great! What do I have to say   |
    |  more? A MUST for everybody! This tune is half-an-hour long, so      |
   _|  you'd better sit in comfortable chair and relax.                    |_

    |  It's not a new tune, but worth listening indeed. It takes us into   |
    |  the world of Warder's folk and chilling music. Moody melody and     |
    |  what I like the most - CLIMATE! Great samples...                    |

    |  This time an experimental ambient tune - from the same m-disk as    |
    |  the first one is from. It affects your brain! Samples are strange,  |

    |  The newest release from Level-D. Realsmokers in action! The tune is |
    |  a bit chill-out, but also experimental. What is characteristic?     |
    |  Some kind of "dry" samples. It gives the proper climate - a bit     |
    |  cosmic. But I wouldn't say this tune is a great one. Realsmokers    |
   _|  could have done better. But it's surely worth listening!            |_

    |  The newest Bigyo's tune. The module sounds great, as all his tunes, |
    |  if samples and the whole instrumental section is concerned, but it  |
    |  surprizes us with weird experimental sounds, that can shock some    |
    |  listeners. I suggest listening to it with attention. It's a ballad  |
   _|  tune and every ballad lover shouldn't be disappointed.              |_

    |  It's a very interesting orchestral module. I love the piano in this |
    |  tune - it makes the magnificent climate and the leading melody.     |
    |  You can hear some strings with the piano, and there are tambourines |
    |  and cymbals in the background. Great job! It's the best to listen   |
   _|  to this a few times. The tune lasts about 4 minutes.                |_

    |  After a marvelous tune - The Space Overture - Awesome has done the  |
    |  second part of his module. It's a 32-channel symphony, with some    |
    |  electronic vibes, and a little bit of new-age. The song lasts for   |
    |  5 minutes. After the real symphonic beginning, an electronic bass   |
    |  can be heard in the background, and there are some beautiful sounds |
    |  of tambourine instead of normal drums. After all this stuff it's    |
    |  time for more electronic things (with lots of strings). If you add  |
    |  a piano, you will be in heaven! Ending is also a moody symphony.    |
    |  It's a crime not to listen to this one!                             |
