Insomnia by EQUINOX
-------------------


First I have to admit that this is only the musicpart of Equinox's last demo-slideshow-musicdisk production. And when I saw and heard that part I decided to test it for this issue.
Unfortunately I have not figured out what synonyme the musician uses. So here is only his private name: Johan Steen. Please write to me, so that we can publish your name in the next issue's News article. This is also concerning the coder and the graphician of that part!
O.K. I better start now. All right? Well, I got very surprised when I heard the first piece of music in that musicpart because that song is fu..... great! Everything fits exactly. The samples are very beautiful, the melodies very impressing and harmomic and this songs also is divided in around four different styles. Disco, slow etc. This is really a masterpiece but unfortunately this musicdisk does not work on my computer (1MB Chipmem, A2000) so I always have to go to Chester when I want to listen to it. But back to the music. Four tunes are include on the disk. One of them is a Blues song which is nicely arranged but the bad samples, which are very aggressive, make this song to the worst on the disk. The rest is absolutely high quality standard and he would deserve soon to appear in Euro~chart. All the samples are looped very well and as stated before, the melody in "So far so good" is absolutely great! The graphics are quite allright but nothing too special. Strange logos but nicely drawn, but it's very hard to recognize the title of this music~disk~part. Anyway, the code is absolutely not rateable since there is just a menu and a small scroller on the screen. Due to this and to the amount of songs, there must be a difference to the upper musicdsiks. Sorry Equinox, but Johan, continue this great style you have. I'm sure we will hear from you again!…
