- «as»
- «c7»Noise From Heaven is a «c6»chippack «c7»which first came to our attention last
- year. It's being compiled by the oldskool scener «c6»Dascon of IRIS, «c7»and so far
- 3 issues have reached us.«»
- «»
- «c6»Noise From Heaven 3 «c7»starts off with a cool loader tune and with the name "IRIS"
- rolling over the screen from left to right first, and it's being followed by
- "presents". Then a rather old but cool thing appears. The words «c6»Noise From Heaven are being
- written «c7»while we're watching. Afterwards we enter the menu.«»
- «»
- In the menu, there's a «c6»box on upper left «c7»of the screen with text. This is
- where you have to scroll and decide which chip-tune you want to hear or
- article you want to read. At the «c6»bottom of the screen, «c7»in the right corner,
- there are 4 options to choose between also. You can either choose modules,
- articles, info or guest composers. When you've made your choice, you can
- again choose which modules or articles at the box in the upper left of the
- screen. In the middle of the screen, from the bottom of the left corner to
- the upper right corner, there's a «c6»scrolltext «c7»dividing it. Here you will be
- able to read some text Dascon has written. All in all, quite a cool and
- traditional chippack setup.«»
- In this issue, if you press on modules, you will be able to choose between
- «c6»10 chipmods from Dascon «c7»himself. 7 of those are rather new, and 3 quite
- old. Personally I like the oldies, but goodies best. Especially Brainfood 6
- and 23 are very good and got this cool sound. I don't exactly know why I
- prefer these old ones but it has probably something do with me getting old
- and nostalgic. When it comes to Dascons newer chippies, then I guess
- Illusions are one of my favourites because of the introduction. In any
- case, Dascon is certainly one of the few that still manages to create good
- chiptunes.«»
- If you press on «c6»guest composers, «c7»you will have 11 modules to choose between
- in this issue. They have been created by «c6»Skope/Up Rough, Zito/100% &
- Darkage, Ed/RTI, Curt Cool/Depth and The Hooligan/DCS. «c7»The chipmodules
- these guys present offer quite much variation. There are some good modules, but also a
- few not so good. One of my favourites is «c6»Xmas Caroline the nude «c7»by Curt
- Cool. Another enjoyable chippy is «c6»Lazarus groovebox «c7»from Skope. And then I
- also have to mention THGs version of the «c6»Great Giana Sisters «c7»theme. It's
- really cool, and some great memories appear from my time playing that game
- together with friends a real LOOOOOOONG time ago. In any case, there should
- be enough modules in Noise in Heaven 3 for everyones taste I guess.«»
- «»
- «c6»Noise In Heaven «c7»also have a nice feature for those that want to know more
- about the modules. If you press on «c6»Info «c7»while playing a chipmod, some
- additional info about duration etc. will appear.«»
- «»
- Last I also have to add that there are a few «c6»articles «c7»included into Noise
- From Heaven. This time there were an interview with THG and an article
- about some music matters for example and more.«»
- «»
- As a bonus there's also added a module to be used in the «c6»trackerschool «c7»of
- Dascon.«»
- «»
- All in all, Noise From Heaven 3 is quite enjoyable and probably the «c6»best
- chippack «c7»these days along with Save Da Vinyl from Mawi. To read more about
- chippacks, then go to the chipattack article. And a small hint... try
- pressing on «c6»ATTACK «c7»in the headline of that article.«»
- «»
- As a conclusion, NFH is a pack we expect much more from in the future. And
- if I'm not much mistaken another issue should be out at the end of February
- or in March. Watch out for it... All issues of this chippack you can get
- by visiting the IRIS homepage at: «c6»www.irishq.dk«»
