official release date: 27th january, 1997..

an ethos9 musicdisk produced in late 1996 - emissions#1..

g'day, dear friends and phunkateertz..
ethos9 strikes back with issue numero uno of emissions, an event
aiming to portray the oldskool chiptune-sounds we all love.. emissions#1
contains a selection of music (apart from some few exceptions)
exclusively made for this project from some of the finest protagonists
of the global electronic pc-underground: the unconsciousness/e9/sac,
assign/e9/rr, hollywood/mono, mefis/funk!/tpolm/hirmu, vivid/kfmf/rr,
twilight/mono, mortimer twang/blacksista/mono, dynamix/destiny,
calimero/trancefusion, heretic/destiny, spoon/sac/rr/razor1911, dac/rr,
mystical/purple, meat/zerius, boomer/kfmf and last but not least
keith3o3/rr..
assign & the unconsciousness of both ethos9 and radicalrhythms selected
and collaged this comprehensive document of chiptune-music.. nearly all
tunes contained in this package are of course unique, fresh, previously
unreleased and fingerlicking good! so stay tuned for further
transcendental releases by ethos9, e.g. a d&b musicdisk, which will soon
be released..
if you'd like to contribute a chipie towards emissions#2, please feel
free to send me (=assign) your 4channel .mod (for contacting infos please
refer to the below section of this infofile).. yes, help ethos9's
emissions#2 be even better than this first issue! :) this creative
environment of course also enables new and forthcoming artists to release
their material.. this is the start of what is to come, we are future
bound..
how to handle the chipies contained in the archive: you may use them in
(bbs)intros/demos/etc., but don't dare to forget the credits somewhere at
the end of your production! ha, das gilt auch fuer diejenigen, die so tun
als koennten sie kein englisch! carramba, our stuff has been ripped too
often without the appropriate credits having been given.. :(
the story behind ethos9's chiptune project: everything started with
animal (who meanwhile changed his handle to the unconsciousness, in case
you haven't already noticed), who founded "hymen" in june 1996, wanting
his group to be the first chiptune-only crew in the entire pc-scene
history.. the group (at this time only consisting of himself + me &
muchos guestartists) only released one chiptune-pack, before merging into
ethos9..
spreading the word is never easy until people are prepared to listen..
we are here to spread the word..
signing off, you're friendly ethos9-team.. keep the vibe alive!..

software recommendments

please play all tracks included within this archive only with triton's
fasttracker (preferably with a version higher than 2.05) unless otherwise
instructed to in the mod-description, since cubic play, xtc-play and
consorts corrupt the playback (it's obvious that not all effects work
properly/accurate)..
for the last amiga-addicts: delitracker, hippoplayer or ps3m for replay..

be sure to take notice!

the contained material (music, texts, programs) also in parts is
(c)opyrighted and (p)roduced in 1996.. all rights reserved by ethos9
respective the appropriate composers of the chiptunes..
our releases are not freeware.. although you may copy them freely (as
long as the archive remains unchanged!), you are not allowed to put
any releases of ours on a cd-rom without our explicit, written
permission!
