. Introduction .

Welcome to one of those things, which took ages to finish. Originally there
should have been even more songs and tracks included in this album, but I
decided to leave them alone in the endless space of my harddisk.
The idea behind "Aspects of Sound" was to create something that features
my respect for people who created different music styles. Since the first
humans came out of their caves and started to celebrate their
tribal gatherings, music has always been and will always be a part of human
life. Every age, reaching from the past up to now, has it's own lifestyle
and therefore it's own music. The tastes and possibilities changed with
the development of technology and new instruments. If you want to look out
for the Mozart's of today, search for the music that reaches the borders
of imagination.
I will not bother you anymore with my theories and thoughts, just go on
and listen to the music.

I had problems with several replay routines, and most of them do not
play my songs right. MikXM also has problems with some songs, but it's okay.
(except for "intro toon" which sounds really wrong)

. System Requirements .

The musicdisc should run fine on a Pentium 90 with PCI.
Recommended soundcard is a GUS or at least a SB16 ASP for high
quality playback.
