Hi, hello and welcome to chapter 8!
One year passed - again. And again this has been a year full or Radical
Rhythms releases. We hope, you all enjoyed our work and we'd like to thank
all the buddies out there for feedback, comments and other nice stuff.
But 1995 also has been a year full of trouble. Some of the major German
boards went offline and left big holes in the German supply net, most
hurting the distribution of freeware like modules, demos and so on. We too
lost some of our important distribution sites - hopefully, we can regain
some of our contacts in 1996.
And 1995 has also been a year of envynes and bad rumours. Because of
some critics published by Cosmic and other radical dudes concerning the
bad quality of other peoples work we soon became the bad buddies of the
nation. But still there's much of crap on the boards - first-try-it-out
modules by beginning composers and so on...
We too started composing as beginners - but we didn't release our work
and presented it to everyone around. This has, of course, been due to the
fact that we did not have access to a BBS by then (in 1990 there haven't been
many boards trading binary stuff - the written word has been the intention
of those systems by then) but also it had something to do with the scene
by then. People haven't been sitting in front of a computer to trade the
stuff, moreover there've been the famous copy parties. The traders by then
did not have the time and space to take all sort of stuff with them - just
the best was taken to the next copy party and so only the good one's stuff
survived.
In our opinion it is okay to start composing music - that's what we did,
too. And we are no gods or masters in making music. But we have some
kind of philosophy behind our releases and the productions released by
Radical Rhythms. And of course we also made mistakes - that's for
sure. But! We also think that it is okay to say what's on your mind.
We don't want to degrade anybody - and style, of course, isn't something
to talk about. But quality is - and every bad piece of software released
is also making other good software suffer from this. This is with commercial
software and is the same with demos and so on.
We aren't arrogant or anything like this, so please give is the right, too,
to say what's on our mind. And please: listen to what you release before
your start the upload! Moreover: 8 bits is as up to date as the good
old C64!
We wish you, your friends an families, a Merry Christmas (or the Season's
Greetings, if Christmas does not apply to you) and a Happy New Year.
Peace!
Stay tuned - against all odds - we are not dead, nor are we planning
to split up Radcial Rhythms. Never forget: Radical Rhythms is to
blow your mind!
Greetings,
RAY

└─┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────│─┘
If you want to experience the full Chapter 8, you must copy the content
of all five archives into one directory, for example 'C:\CHAPTER8'. But
you can also just install disk 1 and one up to six of the other archives
you will just not be able to listen to all songs. If you have already
16PLAY or another DMF-player capable of 16-bit samples you can replay
all songs without the files in archive of disk 1. Nevertheless, complete
installation is highly recommended!
-─────────────────────-──────────────────────-─ -──────────────────────-── -
The SVGA-Shell needs a VESA-driver installed, some newer cards have it
in ROM already. You can move in the shell with the arrow keys or TAB.
Escape stops first the song and exists then the shell. You can change
the master volume with +/- - use this if you get distortion or if the
sound if too low (like on AWE32).
Before you can listen to the songs, you must first select your sound-
device. If you got wrong, reboot and delete CHAPTER8.CFG.
Please refer to the other textfile (*.RR) that come with this package
if you have special questions.
If you encounter problems with the SVGA-shell, please report them to
us, and an update will follow.
Special thanks to Code-X/D-lusion and all the hardworkin RR people !
