Display       :NTSCN   This  disk  of  seven  songs by Jesper Kyd of the Silents kicks off with anNintro  worthy  of  a science fiction movie and then presents the user with theNmusic  selector.  The graphics used for it aren't as good as those used in theNintroduction but it's saved by an animated colour-cycling center which changesNit's  style  as  each  new song is loaded.  Instrument and speaker volumes are
also shown and animated.'   Considering  music  disks,  and  not'just  this  one,  shouldn't  the  whole'screen  change  now and then?  It's not'good  practice to have the same display'on the monitor for long periods of time'yet  if  the  music is any good you may'want to listen for quite a while.  It's'OK  if you have your Amiga hooked up to'a  stereo  so  you can turn the monitor

'off  but  otherwise  you're  stuck with'having  the display showing.  Of course'if   they   all   made   these   things'multi-task  then  it  wouldn't   be   a'problem.    We  could  even get on with'something  else  then.  But that's some
hope.'   Back  to  the  disk and Jesper Kyd's'music.  After the intro tune you've got'the  choice  of  "Apocalypse", the nice'and  moody  "Next Decade", "China Girl"'which  to  me  is  the stand-out track,'"Highlands",  the rather funky "Slide",'another  moody  one  in  "Spirit"   and'"Space Song".  All are reasonable tunes'but  only  "China  Girl"  and   perhaps'"Apocalypse"  give  me  that feeling ofNrecognition  on  hearing  them  again.  Proof they've trained a few synapses I
guess.N   The  only  glitch on the whole disk is at the end of each tune when, as theNnext  track  is  loading,  you  get a few seconds of the start of the previousNone.   When you have to get this picky to find a criticism you know you've gotNa  well  made  disk.   And it would make good background music too, if only it
WOULD run in the background!
