After numerous attempts in fixing my sound hardware problems (maybe you remember older module .readme's), I've finally found the source of the problems. Seems as if my motherboard has a slight knack, and I'm glad that it could be worked around by removing the metal plate armoring the gameports of the A4000... hell, a friend of mine who's pretty good at soldering spent a lot of time with replacing the cinch audio ports and the gameports, and in the end it is such a damn fault within the motherboard. But on with info about this song! :) This is some sorta groovy funky funny jazzy piece of synthetical dubstuff... or whatever! I really don't know what I should call it, erm! I started with the goal to make some ethnically touched dubstuff, but as I added the groove to it, the whole thing went into a completely different direction - but I really like it! Its relaxed, its smooth, and it was great fun making it. I was tempted to replace the "synth" sounding instruments with more natural samples, but in the end I was both too lazy for it and too confident with the result with the synth instruments - this song still has that "computer music" feeling that I apreciate so much, yet its completely different from all the goa/trance stuff I've done so far in OSS. Hey, I'm really proud of this one! :) A big warm "thanks" to Bjorn 'Dr. Awesome' Lynne whose synth instrument I borrowed :) from the unused Alien Breed song that was spread because it didn't fit onto the disks (in fact I tried to replace it with a sample, but it fitted in so well that I just left it untouched). Enjoy playing this one... a moderately high volume level and a decent turn to the "+" side of the bass knob's scale on your amp is recommended! :) G r e e t i n g s To all in 1oo% (of course), Count Dan, Cowo, GDM, Grimlock, Juice, LhA v1.50r, Moon, Mr. E, Pride, Radiosity, xXx, Jazz, xXx-Tobi, Ochrana, SMC/Abyss, Teis, Zych, Nik, Sunbeam, Dexter, Crown, all the Karmamonsters, Gavin Lucas, Andreas Spreen, Nik, Kenneth... ...and to all the unmentioned others that fill the vacuum around me. A d v e r t i s i n g I'm maintaining the "Aurora Borealis AHX collection" which started out of my very own AHX collection, and I'm looking for AHX modules (well, what else). If you have made any AHX modules yourself, why not contact me? I'm gathering "annotation" files from various AHX song authors at the moment, if I haven't been able to contact *you* out there yet, please drop me a short mail, I'd be glad to hear from you! C o n t a c t In case you want to contact me, please write to: [please no modules/samples swapping, chatting preferred :)] neurodancer@gmx.de I do also run a BBS, but due to capital lazyness + capital lameness of many new users, its no longer open to the public, its for really interested callers & friends only. If you're interested in a good module area + many other goodies AND can cope with BBS software OTHER than AmiExpress-clones, just drop me a mail. You can find most of my modules (back to 1987) on Aminet, directory "mods/neuro" Fate did all of the collecting/uploading/converting to LhA for the Aminet directory; dude, I really owe you one! :)
