This pack contains 110 midi’s for use in D-mods.

Although there is variety in the midi’s (such as midi’s for quiet situations, for fights, and for eerie caves) and the midi's will suit almost any D-mod, and although there are also some midi’s that, although they sound alike, vary in speed (such as 13.mid, 14.mid and 15.mid where the first one is the slow version and the last one the fast version) there is overall not that much variety.

Most midi’s from this pack sound a lot like each other, perhaps because they are all from the same kind of games and/or from the same artist (there is no information about this pack in a readme.txt).

Some stand out though, in one way or another.
Bare.mid is real funny, and hare.mid resembles bare.mid a lot, etude.mid resembles the classic bumble bee a lot, and koya.mid is also a familiar tune.

Min’you_88.mid, min’you_gm.mid, and robotown.mid are quite cheerful, and those that are different but nice as well are dhz.mid, eiga.mid, sitsuren.mid, and yosei.mid.

Overall a midi’s pack that does not offer that many different midi’s, but at least some midi’s to use in a D-mod.

Ahh, another Japaneese Midi pack...
I think that all Japaneese midis are great and this one is no exception. The midis in this pack are very well put together and composed. I feel that RPGMinerva has done them very well

Strengths
---------

I feel that they have been composed excellently and really show how good japaneese midis can really get. I think that they have been timed very well to make it so they have a small download time. These are good midis for D-MODS not only because of the small download time but the quality that has been acheived in the small tracks themselves. Well done to RPGMinerva on this great Japaneese midi pack

Weaknesses
----------

I do feel that the small download time is a good feature but also bad, because they are small tracks and none of them can be used in a long travelling part of a D-MOD, which is pretty sad. I think that another bad point is that the midis themselves have not actually been made by RPGMinerva, and have been taken straight from a website. A bad thing about this is there is no link to the resources used. This would have been good to check if they actually are public domain midi compositions

Overall
-------

Overall I think that this is a great midi pack and if you want some exciting short bursts of music this is the thing for you.

Total 7.8
Grade B

A lot of midis and no description file. Bad! Download and listen at your own peril. If you like Japanese game music then this may well be a pack for you. I don't. I didn't like it. And I'm not going to go thru each track either. 5 were enough, and none were good.
