By reading this, you are participating in a ballant advertising scheme!!! Wooooooh! Back out now if this is against your principles! Still with us? @{"YES! Continue..." LINK Cont} @{"NO! (Guess what!?)" SYSTEM Reboot} @ENDNODE @NODE Cont "Okay, read on!" @{b}OK! Let's continue:@{ub} Welcome to the SM-EP by The Problem: The bunch of Amiga-, Music and @{"Bugles" SYSTEM Bugles.EXE} addicts from a place where nobody ever heard of, the company that writes guides to go with the modules, and writes stories about how they killed people... 1. @{"Why the SM-EP " LINK WhyTh} 2. @{"Archive contents" LINK Archi} 3. @{"Consumerservice " LINK Consu} 4. @{"Credits " LINK Credi} @ENDNODE @NODE WhyTh "Why???" @{b}Why is it called 'The SM EP'?@{ub} Well SM stands for Sado-Masochism! Wooooooh! Back out now if this is against your principles! :-))) We adopted the term SM because we think that only a Sado-Masochist would be able to dance through all of these great tracks in one go! Besides the music there is @{"a lot more!" LINK Archi} (Yeah, yeah! Tell us, tell us!!!) @ENDNODE @NODE Archi "The Archive Contents..." @{b}Your archive should contain the following:@{ub} @{b}The Rest:@{ub} 6. The @{"Stereo3D" LINK Stereo3D} program. 7. This Guide and The Problem.Guide. 8. Wanda&CSilla story, chapter 13 to 21. 9. Some pictures (Stereograms/Logos/Sourcepics and Brushes for Stereo3D). 10. A complete Installer for the entire EP. @{b}The Modules:@{ub} 1. @{"Synchronized Minds" LINK Syncminds} 2. @{"Floating Sheep " LINK FloatShp} 3. @{"Penthe 2 " LINK Penthe2} 4. @{"Jungle Blaze " LINK Jungle} 5. @{"Impulse " LINK Impulse} @ENDNODE @NODE Stereo3D "Stereo3D" @{fg highlight}The Problem Programming Inc. presents:@{fg text} @{b}Stereo 3D@{ub} This is a Stereogram generator. It features some very cool functions! (Some of witch have not been seen anywhere else!) Features:@{fg fill} 1. Creates Stereograms using Random Dots (RDS) and/or Brushmaps. 2. Single and Multi coloured RDS's. 3. Various resizing modes for the brushes. 4. Unique combining of brushes and Random Dots. 5. Unique Brush cutting and shifting functions. 6. Rendering multiple source-pictures in one go. 7. AGA supported!@{fg text} You will probably be abled to find your way through the program. Some example sourcepics and brushes have been included in the directory StereoPics/. Make sure you load a source before pressing 'Start Rendering' If you want to use a brush, simply load one. If you don't, don't or press 'Flush Brush' if you already selected one. Stereo 3D will render multicolour RDS's by default! If you want the more common 2 colour RDS's, turn on the 2 Color RDS option. The Problem Programming Inc. will release the full version of Stereo 3D as Bugle-ware. This means that if you like it, you should send us as many Bugles as you think it's worth! (At least one non-opened bag!) You can then call yourself a registered user, and we will keep you posted about new versions. @ENDNODE @NODE Consu "Consumer Service..." @{b}The Complaints department@{ub} If the contents of this EP do not reach you in a crisp and clean state or already unpacked, please send your archive repacked back on a disk to this address and it'll be replaced (probably...): The Problem Food, Disk & Beverages: @{b}Smiths Foodgroup Dept.

(These greetz where written by The Problem themselves) @ENDNODE @NODE Syncminds "Mod.Synchronized_Minds" @{b}-What is it? @{ub} It's a module full of little bleepy sounds, synths (it's a very synthy mod!) that is not easily placed into some category. It's a bit Ambient, but also it's vaguely Jungle and quite vaguely mellow as well. Amjume? Say what? It has a middle part that resembles Jean Michel Jarre quite a lot. @{b}-Why is it (called Synchronized Minds)? @{ub} Well, The Problem has got something they call Synchronized Minds. It means that they think and say the same thing at the same time. And this is actually true! Not some stupid story thought up by The Problem Stories Inc. (Huh?!? What's wrong with your stories? -Ed.) @{b} Playing Time : 5 Minutes and 49 Seconds BPM : 142@{ub} @{"PLAY IT!!!" SYSTEM "APLAYER MODULES/Mod.Synchronized_Minds"} @ENDNODE @NODE Floatshp "Mod.Floating_Sheep" @{b}-What is it?@{ub} Let's try to explain it by saying what it is not! It's not floating and it hasn't got any sheep in it! (Well, it's a BIT floating...) You WILL float after you've heard this module. (At least, that IS the general idea). What does it have? Lot's of etnic-drums, choirs and well eeeuh...floating bleeps...well sort of anyway! @{b}-Why is it (called Floating Sheep)?@{ub} Well, in the latter half of the 18th century there was this warlord and he slaughtered all..... Well to be prefectly honest, @{b}The Problem@{ub} couldn't come up with anything better than this name. (Then they should have asked The Problem Stories Inc. -Ed.) @{b} Playing Time : 4 Minutes and 46 Seconds BPM : 134@{ub} @{"PLAY IT!!!" SYSTEM "APLAYER MODULES/Mod.Floating_Sheep"} @ENDNODE @NODE Penthe2 "Mod.Penthe2" @{b}-What is it?@{ub} Jungle, I gues...Breaks alore! Add some samples from old records and you're in business...Well...perhaps that's putting things in a tad simple way, but you get the general idea. Because of an effect we used, this mod can only be played correctly in Protracker itself and with the supplied player Accessibleplayer! We tried Smartplay, Xmusic, LSDPLay, Longplay, Multiplayer, Eagleplayer, Powerplay v4.0, MPlay, etc. etc. We could name many more, but they all screw up at pattern 12! If you find a player that doesn't, let us know! @{b}-Why is it (called Penthe 2)?@{ub} This mod was made for a BBS called Penthe. Actually it was the second mod we made for Penthe. Why do it again? Well, Penthe had a major harddisk crash and because it was one of our favourite boards, we made this to raise some money to restart it. It failed!!! And it's all your fault! (Unless you are one of the one people that send Penthe a donation!) @{b} Playing Time : 4 Minutes and 50 Seconds BPM : 162@{ub} @{"PLAY IT!!!" SYSTEM "APLAYER MODULES/Mod.Penthe2"} @ENDNODE @NODE Jungle "Mod.Jungle_Blaze" @{b}-What is it?@{ub} This is a breakbeat track with a lot (very much) bleepy noises. The samples where combined (of course) to get them all in one module! The module was initially released a bit too soon. That's why there are two versions of it, but this EP contains the best one (second release, or the "Finally-Right mix"). @{b}-Why is it (called Jungle-Blaze)@{ub} It's name was based on the strange idea that loud breakbeats seem to be related to the rainforests of this world. (Actually, if you would go in the real jungle, there is not even one drumbeat to be found...) Well, The Problem doesn't want to break with this tradition so.. Jungle-Blaze it is! @{b} Playing Time : 4 Minutes and 57 Seconds BPM : 150@{ub} @{"PLAY IT!!!" SYSTEM "APLAYER MODULES/Mod.Jungle_Blaze"} @ENDNODE @NODE Impulse "Mod.Impulse" @{b}-What is it?@{ub} Impulse is a very Mellow track. But sadly, Mellow is NOT the term we like to use for this kind of music. 'Mellow' is associated too much with the modern, every day, (Fresh)Euro-dance CRAP! So let us introduce you to the term: CLUB! The Impulse module has some very cool dreamy synth chords in it. But what really makes it great are the saxophone and the guitar... (We're still not in the Partynight, what's wrong with this country?) @{b}-Why is it (called Impulse)?@{ub} No idea, they wouldn't tell us. We from TP stories Inc. find that TP music should let us in on all the projects. But seriously, we do know that the title for this module is probably another one of those randomly picked ones, but they are afraid to tell us... @{b} Playing Time : 5 Minutes and 7 Seconds BPM : 136@{ub} @{"PLAY IT!!!"
