- mod.Hard to the core
-
- Hi there,
-
- Yep this is it. Hardcore dance music. The loudest, the best, the only
- way to dance. Play it loud and add that bass, annoy your neighbours,
- amaze your friends, with an awesome sound that only the true new
- generation love.
-
- This tune is dedicated to all the Hardcore freaks around the world and
- it is also dedicated to the amiga Group 'CHAOS CORPORATION'.
- Love your work boys. Get in touch. Perhaps we could work on something
- together sometime.
- Lets answer some obvious questions that you are likely to ask:
-
- 1) Its fucking huge man. Why write a tune that big??
-
- Well yes it is huge. Wow. Who cares?? It does what i want it to. And
- it sounds like i want it to, Ah big shame it won't let you run
- multi-tasking bits over and underneath it. Its a stand alone tune. It
- doesn't need a demo with it (probably because the coders would say 'ITS
- FUCKING HUGE!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIT THAT IN??').
-
- 2) What is that awful sound? Thats not music!!
-
- I'll let you in on a secret here. It is music and its damned good.
- Don't be a closet critic. Listen to the new sound and enjoy it or be like
- your father was to you when you were younger. Always saying that music
- isn't what it used to be. Its new!! Of course it ain't like what it used
- to be!!! Its not meant to be. What a boring world it would be if all
- music was the same and to a standard.
-
- 3) Its boring, its repetitive.
-
- Well maybe, maybe not!! But 20,000 people at one place, to listen to this,
- boring repetitive music, can't all be wrong. This music is the biggest
- scene ever to hit the music industry. People are travelling 200 miles or
- more just to dance all night. Hardcore rave music has a feeling to it
- that makes you enjoy yourself. It is played through stadium style
- speaker systems totalling over 40,000 watts. And that bass feels sooooooo
- good to me.
-
- 4) Real music doesn't come from a computer.
-
- Yes it does. Yes, there are some shit tunes that are being mass produced
- like a factory construction line. But, just because its on a computer
- doesn't mean instantly that its crap and non-musical. And just because
- it's not being played live for you doesn't mean its no good either. I
- myself love to see a good live band and have done for many years. But for
- gods sake stop this bickering about "its not real music", well...what is it
- then?? A ham on rye sandwich?? Give me a break. Its good in my opinion.
- I don't need to be told that my music is shit. What you like and what I
- like may be vastly different, but it doesn't mean either of us is right.
- Its just a difference of opinion.
-
-
-
-
- Ok, now i have got that out of the way. I have some news for you.
- I am really thinking of giving up writing music on the Amiga.
- Reason? Well..what do i get out of it? Why should i write music for
- nothing in return. No this isn't a begging letter. I just feel that I
- am working my arse off for nothing in return. Am I wrong?
-
- Let me know. Tell me why i should or shouldn't carry on.
- Or just do the usual thing and sit on your arse and just take take take
- and criticise at things that you haven't even tried.
- I'm sorry if this text is like a major gripe. But its how I feel about
- the amiga/IBM PC music scene.
-
- Tell me what you want/like/hate before its too late.
