Comments on ModArchive
The Goblin Returns! This song came 1st in the Assembly 2002 instrumental music competition. Created with ModPlug Tracker. Goblin voices performed by Nitro / Trauma (Kai-Eerik Komppa). Special thanks to Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen for lending and setting up the music studio for voice recording. Final version -- 4.10.2002. The following changes were made: - Added goblin voice performances - Applied reverb and some EQ to the pot shatter and ring whistle sounds to make them suit the overall soundscape a bit better - Changed the timing of the pot shatter to fit the context better (like you wanted to know) (C) Peter Hajba - Skaven / Future Crew - 2002 Live long and don't get bored.
