DRUMS & PIPES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- a sophisticated collection of lovely musique -
Well, this is just a little information about the
first musicdisk by Surprise! productions / PC. This
shit was typed by Rick Dangerous.
First of all: Here are the credits for this fast
and little release:
Musics: J.O.E.
Graphics: J.O.E.
Music system: VangeliSTeam
Other Coding(?): Rick Dangerous
To say it loud and clear: This musicdisk is based
on the VangelisTracker V1.0e beta.
The Vangelistracker is the most brilliant Modplayer
I've ever seen on the PC. It supports loads of dif-
ferent file-formats and sound output devices. (just
look at the configuration list). What's more, VT
suits all possible needs: There's also a special
DOS-background version and a very good working OS/2
version..
And the best thing of all: The whole sourcecode is
distributed along with the Tracker. It's a real
pleasure reading that sourcecode. I've hardly ever
seen a better documented code - ever -....
Now... Before I completely wind up kissing the as-
ses of the VengeliSTeam, let me just say that I was
completely amazed by the quality of their product.
And since the sourcecode is available, all good PC
coders have the chance to modify the player to cre-
ate a even more powerfull music routine.

Now. Back to business. Some fast words why we rele-
ased this musicdisk:
I finally wanted to use the musics and grafix by
JOE. This musicdisk was released on the AMIGA two
years ago, so we surely took our time to convert it
to the PC....
I was nearly going bonkers, with all the work I had
to do at university and on my upcoming game... So I
decided to do something very quick and easy...
Of course I also wanted to test VT under, let's
say, 'race conditions' similar to a demo. I'm quite
pleased...
And last but not least, after my chat with GORE/FC
I really had to release something.
(Hi Gore! so I've not been 'sucked by commerce'
completely... Besides: I told you that we would be
first to release our musicdisk! He, he, he, ;-) )
---------------------------------------------------
Some words about the musicdisk itself: Enjoy it.
Theres no other meaning to it. I really won't boast
you with 'the high quality' coding I did on that
thing. In fact I guess typing in this text took me
more time than coding the little bit of picture
fading, etc..
Oh yes! I nearly forgot to tell you that there's a
'bonus-track' hidden in the musicdisk. Go and find
it. (A little hint: what's the name of the best
graphics artist / musician in the scene ? (look at
the credits..) Now it should be easier than falling
from a chair to find the bonus track.. ;-) )
---------------------------------------------------
This production is freeware. This means you're free
to copy/spread it like hell. In fact, we would like
if you DO spread it. But please copy ALL the files:
D&P.EXE The main program
SONGS.D&P Datafile
CONFIG.D&P Configurationfile
D&P.NFO This file
FILE_ID.DIZ Short description
I think it's quite sure that some lamer will rip
some of the musics and use it in some of his
lame-tros. Well. Please mention at least where you
ripped the stuff from.
