                            Music Disk #2!



   Greetings,

        It's hard for me to believe that over a year has gone by 
   since I released "V". (Music disk #1 :) ) Most people probably 
   don't even remember it, but that's ok. (Hey! Maybe that's a good 
   thing, given that it was my first attempt.) In any case, I'm 
   back, and I've got fresh amunition in the battle against 
   blandness. 5 obnoxiously danceable technoish tracks, guarenteed 
   to keep objects vibrating for miles around, when played through 
   your Hi-Fi. As you may have noticed on the title pic, all these 
   tracks are optimised for stereo play. So now you've got no reason 
   not to hook up your boom box and drive the neighbors insaine. ;) 
   So what are you waiting for? Abort the current tune "KickBack" with 
   both mouse buttons, after you exit the text viewer with (ESC), and 
   let's shake some walls!!!! 


        If you're the type of user who just loves to read mindless
   text files. Please enjoy the following tid-bits:


   KickBack - A little tune I whiped up so everyone would have something
   to listen to whilest reading this text. (4 instruments. Count em' :) )

   Vortex - VERY heavy sensory overload piece. Take care not to get
   sucked into the speakers; however, I will be the first to admit
   that this one's a little bit redundant, so, go for the inital 
   effect but don't listen too long, or you'll wind up with a 
   massive headache. :)

   Hard Core Lover - Short, but sweet dance floor love connection.
   Need I say more?

   Industry Standard - My first stab at the industrial genre. Purely
   experimental, but loads of fun. (Where's the pit?)

   Double Agent - James Bond visits the local night club or rock band
   with a techno fettish? You decide. (DANCE! DAMN YOU! DANCE!)

   System Wide Breakdown - I'm going to try to get into the habit of 
   having one really well done piece on each of these disks. Technocrat
   was the masterpiece of "V", now SWB brings home the bassdrum for 
   Phase ][. (Man, that sounds hokey. Oh well. Screw it. :) )

     
        Now that that's over with, the inevitable question comes to 
   mind for anyone who remembers "V". What happened to using 
   ProTracker? Well, the answer is pretty simple. I still use
   ProTracker. It's just that OctaMed 4 has the nice ability to 
   save module speeds, which I needed for the 5 main tunes this time.
   Actually, I did all the editing in ProTracker, then I loaded 
   each mod into OctaMed, changed the speeds, and saved them out in
   OctaMed format. Now I know what some people are thinking. Why are
   you still using ProTracker? Well, that's a pretty simple one too.
   (My, you people ask easy questions. :) ) I just think that OctaMed
   is, by far, one of the most overly complicated programs that I've 
   ever come across. With how easy it is for me to track in ProTracker,
   I really have no desire to try to figure out the mind-boggiling
   OctaMed interface. That's not to say that I don't think OctaMed
   is a fantastic program; because, it is. I've seen some very 
   nice work done with it, but it's just not for me. (You'll 
   notice that the tune "KickBack", which didn't require a speed
   change is still in its original PT format.)

        On another subject entirely. I am still looking for a crew
   or programing team that might be interested in using my music 
   in demos/intros/games/disk mags, or the like, whether it be an 
   existing tune, from disk 1 or 2, or something made to order.
   (Hey. What can I say? I'm flexable.) I got a few responses, after
   "V" came out, from some groups that were just forming, but nothing
   ever really panned out there, so, I'm still available. Just as
   before, interested parites can contact me at:

        As always, I hope you really enjoy the musix, and totally
   get silly dancing to it. (I know I will.) Until next time(year?)!
