³ What is EPINICION?

  Well, first of all, it's pronounced: 'Ep-in-ee-see-un.'

  And before we begin, let us explain what Epinicion is.  Epinicion is a song
  written by John Paulson.  Mr. Paulson's song is derived from ancient
  Greek hymns sung by warriors as they cleared the dead off the battlefields
  after a victory.

  I grew tired if being in groups where everyone slacked off, and being
  treated either as a nobody or a 'trial member' so I decided to start my own
  group on March 21, 1994.  Well, we're looking at a solid 40+ member
  organization now, a far cry from our little seven member group back in
  March...

  To apply as a distro site, just mail us at the addresses below.  We're
  really looking for some non-619 U.S. and European distro sites.  So if
  you run or know someone that runs a board that would be suitable, have
  them contact us at our HQ's.

  Our new work can also be found on internet ftp site hornet.eng.ufl.edu in
  /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/music.  Other than that, our world headquarters
  would be the best place to look, since everything gets nuked after a week
  or so there.

  A file listing is available from us.  It can be found in any Epinicion
  release with a infofile version number concurrent with or higher than 1.6.
  It lists in alphabetical order every release we have made since our very
  early beginnings.

  We would like to invite anyone that wishes to join, even learn about
  music, to join Epinicion.  We have over 11 years of musical experience
  in several of our members, studying various instruments.  If you need to
  understand musical concepts and whatnot, we can help you, for free.  We're
  not one of those "elite" groups that turn away all new people.  You've
  gotta start somewhere.  Why not here?  You'll have fun, contribute to a
  growing group, and perhaps, even get something out of it!  Ever wanted to
  be able to read music but never had time to learn?  Here's your chance!
  All you have to do is work with us.  How hard could that be?

  Before we go on, we would like to say one thing.  It has come to our
  attention that several BBS's out there (no names will be mentioned here)
  keep adding their own comments and advertising into other people's mods.
  We believe this practice is an intrusion on the creation of the musician.
  If we find ANY of our music altered in this way, we promise that we will
  try our very hardest to do something mean and nasty to you.  Merci. =)

  NOTICE: ALL THE WORK OF EPINICION AND ITS PEOPLE IS FREEWARE.  NONE OF OUR
          WORK CAN BE SOLD (ALTERED OR NOT) EVER.  OUR WORK CAN BE COPIED
          FREELY TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO SO DESIRES.  IT IS A CRIME FOR
          SOME GREEDY LOWLIFE SCUM TO TAKE MONETARY PAYMENT FOR CREATIONS WE
          NEVER INTENDED TO PROFIT ON IN THE FIRST PLACE.  SO IF WE FIND YOU
          TRYING TO SELL OUR STUFF OR PUT IT ON ELECTRONIC MEDIA YOU PLAN TO
          SELL FOR PROFIT, WE'LL DO OUR VERY BEST TO CAUSE AS MUCH DAMAGE
          AS POSSIBLE TO YOU AS WE CAN.

  But anyways, back to more enjoyable things =):

  NOTICE: Our merger with VeXT in 8/94, formerly led by Neurosis, has brought
  an influx of talented people into Epinicion.  If you are a former member
  of VeXT that does not wish to be a part of Epinicion, please notify us as
  soon as possible at the internet or regular addresses below.  But we
  would encourage you to please stay, and work in Epinicion what you planned
  to do in VeXT.  Thank you. =)

  NOTICE: Our merger with ARCTiC in 11/94 has brought in new people as well.
  Please contact Psibelius at the address below as soon as possible to
  confirm that you're going to stay with the group.  If you chose not to
  remain with us, that's okay too.  But please tell us.

  We hope you will enjoy the wide variety of songs included here.  Epinicion
  will expand and develop as our group and musicians improve.

  Contact me anywhere you can find me if you wish to join.  All you need
  to have is some basic knowledge of music or coding, and the desire to
  work for the group.  As you may have noticed, we don't have a senior staff
  or otherwise.  We work together collectively as a whole.  We are a team.
  We don't bother to distinguish other members of the groups as higher or
  lower than the other.  All that stands is me running the group and a few
  "coordinators" to handle the stuff I don't feel like doing. =) This is the
  only way that a good group should be operated.  Working together, working as
  equals.  So if you're tired of dealing with all the political crap with all
  those other groups, join us.  As of now, we've ditched the concept of the
  "application generator" completely.  Who needs those stupid things anyways?
  Anyone who wishes to join, please contact me either through internet at the
  address below, the regular address (please enclose a self addressed stamped
  envelope).  Thanks.
