About the music
===============

MUSIC TYPE:		Kinda new-age, Not Techno, Not Dance, Not Rave

     (When an instrument "travels" from one channel to another, usually
      quite annoying when it is the lead instrument.)


About the samples
=================

SAMPLE QUALITY:		Very good.

NOTICED SAMPLES:	One sample from Star Control

Other Notes
===========

	I hope other people out there will join in with me and review other
	music modules, so that good authors will get recognition, and dweeby
	nom-nom mod listeners (like myself) will know what a lot of those
	mods are that we see out there.
