What's this ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ "Downbeat" is the second musicdisk following "Digital Domination", Union's first musicidisk. This is a compilation of tracked music from various composers. It's multi-group, meaning that most of the songs aren't from Union members. The Union members involved with this disk are: Ded Silence, Future Assassin, Nova, Lord Pegasus and I (Populus). I hope you will like this 'revival' musicdisk which once again confirms Union's strong place in the scene. A third disk is on the way. I can't confirm any dates, but it will be probably in two months (hopefully). It will include more music from Union members, since we are accepting new musicians among us. Mail me at: populus@direktor.voima.jkl.fi for more info, or reach us on own IRC channel #union. But I (Populus) is releasing very soon a solo disk titled "Earthfall" which will include some tunes that were either left out or new ones. Credits go out to The Specialist aka Pierre-Philippe Stevens who coded the whole thing in read-mode assembler, except for the music player which is Midas Sound System .40a. This is his first world-wide release on the Internet and debut code for Union. Also, thanks to Quisling for the superb "Downbeat" logo used in the flash scrolling. I (Populus) did the interface (nothing to get exited about) and the jungle style Union logo. And of cource all of the musicians that agreed to chip in and help us out make this a quality product. My thanks to all of you. Requirements ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ "Downbeat Musicdisk" requires general features from your computer, which are: - 386 CPU - 640x400x256 VESA SVGA Capabilities - A sound board: - Gravis Ultrasound - Sound Blaster/Pro/16 - Pro Audio Spectrum/16 - 1 MB Expanded Memory (EMS) General Keys ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ "Downbeat" is relatively easy to use. One way is to use the mouse. If you can't, use the keyboard keys, which are: ESC ..............................................Exit to DOS "+" & "-" ........................................Change song "*" & "/" ......................................Change patern SPACE .........................................Change VU Bars Note: Clicking on the huge UNiON logo in the player changes the VU Bars. Contents ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Union's "Downbeat Musicdisk" contains many different styles of music and from various regions around the world. It also has music from the Amiga and PC side of the music scene. It has some rare reason no techno at all. Which is pretty rare considering the situation of the music scene now. Here is the discography: "Timescape" 4m28s................Nemesis [renaissance.kosmic] "Betrayal of Innoncence" 2m57s....Future Assassin [union.ice] "Bowling for Fish" 2m57s..........Lord Pegasus [union.kosmic] "Destiny" 4m35s...........................Populus [union.epi] "Electronic Corrida" 1m43s........Future Assassin [union.ice] "Faith" 3m24s............................Jase [oxygen.enigma] "Firestone" 1m45s......................Sidewinder [megawatts] "Got to Get it" 2m48s.......................Mystical [purple] "Kick Back" 3m12s......................Laserlore [anasthasia] "Lightning Express" 3m11s....................Nova [union.cia] "Omen" 2m47s.................................Nova [union.cia] "Particle 99" 4m17s..................Ded Silence [union.time] "Pointless Feelings" 3m15s................Populus [union.epi] "Power Grid Theme 4" 1m59s......................Leinad [mage] "Prelude to Heaven" 2m56s..................Zapper [force ten] "Shyndou" 5m25s......................Ded Silence [union.time] "So Far Away" 4m36s...................Krystall [kosmic.astek] "The Noble Savage" 4m12s.........................Siren [bass] "Thinking by the Beach" 2m48s.............Populus [union.epi] World Wide Web ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ "Downbeat" Musicdisk has a WWW Page on the Internet. You can get the disk itself there and also learn more about it. Contact through NetScape: http://direktor.voima.jkl.fi/~populus/downbeat Known Bugs ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Unfortunatly, some bugs still exist in the player. Mostly with the mouse and some SVGA cards. Then you'll have to miss out on the powerful hi-res interface with comes with "Downbeat" and you'll have to use your own player. We recommend using Cubic Player 1.4 or Scream Tracker 3.21. Thanks to ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ I would like to thank all the musicians that partipated in creating the second Union musicdisk (no order): Ded Silence, Lord Pegasus, Zapper, Mystical, Laserlore, Jase, Sidewinder, Leinad, Future Assassin, Nemesis, Nova, Siren, and Krystall. I would like to thank to all the graphicians who worked on this project, even if some of their work didn't get it (due to time and usage). Of course my friend The Specialist for coding this thing at last minute.
