The old computer house modules had become repetitive, so a new sound emerged from the underground with as first example: @{b}The Problem The Problem@{ub} first consisted of Alco "Rhythm" Lammers and William "DJ Infinity" Westrum. Their work was and is not meant 4 public use. In 1993 Thijs "Solution" Stalenhoef joined and since then, they lost control!!! Crazy as they are they are producing hi-quality modules at hyperspeed!!! Nothing can stop them now!!! @ENDNODE @NODE People "The People" @{b}@{u}The People of The Problem@{ub}@{uu} Here you can find all that unimportant personal stuff about those guys who call themselves @{b}The Problem@{ub}. @{" Alco 'Rhythm' Lammers " LINK Alco} @{" Thijs 'Solution' Stalenhoef " LINK Thijs} @{" William 'Infinity' Westrum " LINK William} @{" Wanda " LINK Wanda} @{" CSilla " LINK CSilla} @ENDNODE @NODE Alco @{b}@{u}AlcoRhythm@{ub}@{uu} Alco "Rhythm" Lammers is the sampler and module composer. He's 18 years old and studies at the MTS in D'chem. He is a Hellraiser/Jurassic Park fanatic... (strange combination huh?) Most of all (and we always forgot to put it in the Doc) he is a fan of Stephen King. Yes, the king of horror! @{b}Quote...@{ub} "I think that the one thing that keeps me going, are the reactions (mainly positive) to our mods. Together with Solution I spent a lot of time, creating what I think, is good music (using a good computer! Thnx C=!!!). Before that, I spent even more time on my keyboard (all by my self, in the dark, I hate light) trying to find the right tune for the next mod. If it wasn't for your reactions, I would have given up making mods a long time ago. It's really frustrating to realise how boring my life seems from the outside. But if you where me, I am sure you wouldn't want it any different. There is only one thing I am scared of: What if something happens to me, so I can't make music anymore. What if my hearing wears off. I can't live without (my) music. And right now, I notice that I forgot to turn on the radio (I'm dying!)..." Signed AlcoRhythm... @ENDNODE @NODE Thijs @{b}@{u}Solution@{ub}@{uu} Thijs "Solution" Stalenhoef is a sampler and does some module work. He's also responsible for distributing the stuff. He is 1 of the sample sources of @{b}The Problem@{ub}! Besides that he's Moderator of NLA_CHAT & NLA_AUDIO. He's 17 and studies at the CCS VWO in Aalten. Together with his partner Monique Meekes he has won lots of prizes in dance-contests... @{b}Quote...@{ub} "Music and dancing means LIFE to me...If I didn't have my module work together with Alcorhythm I wouldn't be as much a human being as now! When I get back from school I NEED some Techno/Breakbeat/Dance music. It powers me up you see...Dancing too! People who see me dancing usually think I'm nutz or drunk or both! They are simply too narrowminded to see this is LIFE!!! Therefore I'd like to thank my partner in DANCE: @{b}Monique@{ub} for her support in keeping my life going. All you people out there that have down'd our mods, keep up the good work and thnx 4 your support! Trance is also important, but in western society it is seen as something bad/weird/demonic. On the floor you go with the flow and your brain expands to cosmic proportions. Something else: When you buy records: LISTEN to them...do not only think "Well...They're famous" or "Well...It has a nice bassline/beat". NO! Listen to what the music has to offer. Listen to the whole concept and see the record as a whole! House is a FEELING!!! (And that is something some babyboomers/house-haters simply do not WANT to understand!!!) House music as a whole is going through bad times! Organizing a party is getting tougher everyday! So if we stick together and form ONE front we can DO something about it! The 'drug problem' is probably the biggest argument against! But there is no drug problem! I have NEVER seen a fight during a good party! (Either completely Underground or out in the open, but then with support from the city-counsel!) But in discos there are nothing BUT fights! During one party I stepped on the toes of some person I wouldn't want to meet at night in a small alley, but HE embraced me (yes he did) and said "Sorry Gabber, won't happen again...". You try and give a similar example for a night in a disco! So...Legalize (soft-) drugs like hashies and XTC, this will also prevent trash-xtc to enter the market. For now: Let us go back to 1988, The SUMMER OF LOVE! Peace, Love, Unity and RAVE!!! Stay tuned for more stuff from me, Alco and the rest..." __ Signed: ( \ OLUTION ___) @ENDNODE @NODE William @{b}@{u}DJ Infinity@{ub}@{uu} William "Infinity" Westrum is a sample source for @{b}The Problem@{ub} And when I say sample source, I mean SAMPLE source (He's got 100s of CDs!!!) He's 18 years old. He studies at the CCS HAVO, Aalten. When @{b}The Problem@{ub} needs to record their work on tape, The DJ supplies the audiomixing equipment. He's got a girlfriend...... @{b}Quote...@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE Wanda @{b}@{u}Wanda@{uu} Wanda@{ub} is the first woman that joined @{b}The Problem@{ub}. She is 19 and has long blond hair. She's a singer (listen to Wanda,Wanda2,Enraptor) and she sometimes helps with the module work of the rest of @{b}The Problem@{ub} dries up. She's about 1.76m and she studies at a MEAO in a town not far from the HQ! In her spare time she used to be a maid... (Read Wanda&CSilla) @{b}Quote...@{ub} "Oh, I'm so happy these days! My work with @{b}The Problem@{ub} is truly fantastic. It helped a great deal in rebuilding my life after I had some really hard times. Thnx Solution, CSilla, William and Alcorhythm too! Your music has made my life worthwhile again. Let everybody be them selfs and stop wearing masks! House is here, and it is here to stay!!! To all you political persons out there: Damn You!!! Everyone must be free to choose the form of music they like, and mine (and @{b}The Problem@{ub}s) just happens to be house, SO WHAT!? Luv to ALL who supported us (Also Alcos mother for suppling Bugles all the time!) in one way or another! I send you my love..." (\/) Signed: \/ (\/) \/ \/\/anda.... (\/) \/ @ENDNODE @NODE CSilla @{b}@{u}CSilla@{ub}@{uu} She joined @{b}The Problem@{ub}, but she hasn't done much yet, besides giving Solution and Alcorhythm (and Wanda too to some extent) a LOT of inspiration... (She is being pushed to start singing too, her voice is great! => Bjork?) She's 18 and is the sun in the place! Always happy and cheerful! Well...She just did her exams at CCS (VWO!) and is probably going to pass them aswell!!! Almost certainly Enschede University is going to be her place for the years to come...(The rest will miss her. She'll only be around weekends!). And then her hair....Solution likes to play with it! It is long, black and curly... @{b}Quote...@{ub} "I have to write this, they said. Because everybody did it! Personally I don't think it is of no use to tell you who I am. You out there probably read this because it came with the module. You got that because you want to hear music, no matter who made it! But allright, I will tell you something... First of all: Just LOOK at the world around you! The world you and I have to live in is not all as bad as it seems! Look at the birds, and smell the flowers! Life is GREAT! Make wonderful friends (I know I have...) and live life the best possible way! But...take care for the environment! @{b}The Problem@{ub} are great guys, although Infinity should stop showing up late and Alcorhythm should learn to control his tempre. Solution should stop pushing me to sing for them! I'll sing when I'm ready! (Not now that is!). Wanda is great too. But she should eat less Bugles... With kind regards....

LINK WS2} @ENDNODE @NODE WS2 "Keyboard Workstation" @{b}@{u}The GEM WS2 - Keyboard/Workstation@{ub}@{uu} This one was so expensive that we'll tell you a little more about it. @{b}The Problem@{ub} uses this device to compose their melodylines. They also use it to find out what chords the victims in case of a replication use. The sounds of the keyboard is often sampled if samples couldn'd be sampled from the original source. Thanks to GEM! The @{u}GEM WS 2 Keyboard/Workstation@{uu} is a now somewhat aged Keyboard with some intelligent stuff in it to make it Workstation. It has 61 lightweight fullsize keys. There are 128 sounds in it (to wich you can add another 128). It knows 61 drumsounds, 96 global settings, 32 built in drum patterns and 32 realtime effects. There is a pitchball, a soundmixing system, MIDI support, a Disk Drive Option, a (5 way) split function, a 16 note polyphone, a sequencer (with chain composer), an alpha dial, an audio in/out connection, a 2*20 Watt built in speaker set and a lot more.

The Problem@{ub} is NOT happy with that, because they supported these wonderful @{b}Bugles@{ub} in almost all of their modules. Hell, they even named one of their modules after them... All three members noticed that the taste of the (former) @{b}Bugles@{ub} is slowly changing into something undefinable, that undoubtably Smiths are calling @{"3D" LINK 3D}... @ENDNODE @NODE 3D "3D" @{b}@{u}3D@{uu}@{ub} What is (love) 3D...

Created after hearing the track on a CD called "Move The House 8". Try this on 4 size...it's GOOD! @{b} Original Title : I Can't Take This Original Artist: Rhythm Invention@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE HellsParty "Mod.Hells_Party" Replication of a CD Track. Created after hearing the track on a CD called "Move The House 8". At first the samples were taken from a tape, wich made this module somwhat low quality. This has been corrected, and the final version is incredible! Very good! @{b} Original Title : Hell's Party Original Artist: GLAM@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE Wanda1 "Mod.Wanda" Cowabunga! Heeere iiis Wandaaa! First module completely composed by @{b}The Problem@{ub} it self! Created after hearing a radio commercial for a 'sex o phone'. The Voice said her name (@{"Wanda" LINK Wanda}) and it was sampled. The beginning of a complete adventure! It's great. If u are a House Freak then get a load of this! @ENDNODE @NODE LoveParty "Mod.LoveParty" And now something completely, completely different :-) An ambient xperiment! Very strange. The only reason this module was released was that it had to be proved that @{b}The Problem@{ub} could do these SLOW mods to. However, to keep up the reputation in the House scene, they managed to only use sounds, sampled from house CDs... @ENDNODE @NODE GfxAttack "Mod.Grafix-Attack" Well, this speaks 4 it self. Created to onor the great @{b}Grafix Attack BBS@{ub}. We were asked to make a theme, and we did it. Grafix Attack (BBS) Theme, very nice!!! @ENDNODE @NODE Armageddon "Mod.Armageddon" Finally some English Hardcore!!! @{b}The Problem@{ub} took the challenge and made an 'Altern 8' module. And it worked out just fine! The resemblence is almost perfect. Created after hearing the track on the Altern8 Album. Not all samples used came from this album though (find out wich one!). @{b} Original Title : Armageddon Original Artist: Altern 8@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE Penthe "Mod.Penthe" A promotion mod! @{b}The Problem@{ub} pays their respects to 'Penthe BBS #1' 150 BPM!!! You'll like this for sure! Lots of very good drums in here, so no reason why you shouldn't have this! If you like it hard: Get It! @ENDNODE @NODE Talk "Mod.Talk" A mod about 'The Amazing Way In Wich A Human Communicates.' It's very heavy, it's very good and it is composed by @{b}The Problem@{ub}... Uses samples that were coinsedently sampled during a TV program. It just happened, and it was responseble for a VERY C00L module indeed! Uses Breakbeats as well as the normal boom-boom beat. @ENDNODE @NODE Spectacle "Mod.Spectacle" Fabulous module...of course! No Breakbeats in this mod, wich means that you can expect something a little more to the @{"mellow" LINK Mellow} side of House. The beat seems to be quite popular too. Just listen, it's high quality all the way, with a little surprise at the end! Great!!! @ENDNODE @NODE Enraptor "Mod.Enraptor" And now for something completely different! Yes, yes, yes!!! We did it again, another fab mod! With a good drum part, and with vocals by the (by now) well know @{"WANDA" LINK Wanda}!!! This was created because of the fact that Wanda was now an official member of @{b}The Problem@{ub}. The title is randomly picked. Sorry for that! @ENDNODE @NODE Cappella "Mod.U_Got_2_Let_Music" After a long time, @{b}The Problem@{ub} releases another replication mod! This time Cappella was the lucky group!!! We used 38(!!!) Samples by combining some of them into one sample! The mod was created after one of the member of @{b}The Problem@{ub} got the single. It seemed impossible to do, but when it was finnished, it sounded pretty good! So....here is: @{b} Original Title : U Got 2 Let The Music Original Artist: Cappella@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE Twilight "Mod.Twilight-Zone" Breakbeats are back! Created to onor the great @{"'TwilightZone BBS'" LINK BBS1}. As U should know by now, The Twilight Zone is our official support BBS! It has all our modz. And now we bring U The Twilight Zone Theme! After 3 modz without, we used breakbeats again, AND HOW! Listen 4 your self and call: The Twilight Zone! (Mention this guide) @ENDNODE @NODE Doop "Mod.Doop_van_Doop" Yes, yes, yes!!! Another remake! @{b}The Problem@{ub} proudly presents: Doop - Doop - Doop This module was created a long time before the track became popular. It was rereleased a few months later in a *STUPID* remix. This mod is the replication of the first release in the Urge 2 Merge Mix! It is MUCH MUCH MUCH better! Guarranteed! @{b} Original Title : Doop Original Artist: Doop@{ub} @ENDNODE @NODE Wanda2 "Mod.Wanda2" The longest module @{b}The Problem@{ub} ever made. There are two completely different parts. Part 1 and....Part 2. The first one is sort of a ReMix of the original Wanda Module, though the only thing that is still in tact is the @{"Wanda" LINK Wanda} Voice, from the commercial. The more expirienced Problem Listener, will even recognize the Piano in this mix (in the second half of the first part!) The second is a *@{"MELLOW" LINK Mellow}* part. This part is also available as a standalone module, called Mellow Infuence! It's very cool, and super addictive. Once you hear this, you will not want to stop! Total playing time (both parts) is over 9 minutes (ALL 63 Patterns!), and the time is really worth it!!! @ENDNODE @NODE BellsOfNY "Mod.BellsOfNY" Wow, what a slammer! It's a replication of the 12" and it's great!!! The module is about the biggest (in size) of all our mods and there's a very nice surprice in it... just listen and you'll hear! This module is aimed at the @{"Mellow" LINK Mellow} fanatics. We replicated the WHOLE track, wich can't be called short... @{b} Original Title : Bells of New York Original Artist: Slo Moshun@{ub} @ENDNODE
