Disqualified some. -----< comments >---------------------------------------------------------- 1. Smash - lullaby.xm 5.375 - *** * Nice, one of the best * Now. Where have I heard that lead before? :I * Nice.. the tediousness drags it down, though. * hmm.. This tune make me think about games like "Giana Sisters" * this song rocks. phat phat phat. * pretty complex! 2. Caramel - crmroot.xm 5.375 - *** * Not bad at all..... * Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. * Nice tune, nice jazzy feel, but some of the panning (esp. the cymbal) sucks, and it doesn't sound professional at all.. needs more technical work like echoing leads, etc. And its too short. * Trippy!? * nice.. 3. Sequencer - const.xm 4.750 - *** * Not bad... * Crap percussion. Crap chip leads. No bass sample. And you still rule.. ..bastard. * Strange but not bad. Another tune where not enough care over volumes was taken.. Vary the volumes a lot people.. makes a tune sound much better. * Hm.. not bad. at all, as a matter of fact. the maintheme and comp. is repeated too much, methinks. but very well tracked. * Not bad, but too cluster fucked 4. Dionysus - d_tt31ww.it 4.500 - *** * Which way is the bathroom? * One of the better entries. The leadish thing sucks though. And it repe ats too much. And the drum tracks aren't that good. But its still quit e nice. * Well, one'd have to say you've bummed out if you don't reach the top 10 this time :) Bad usage of the drumsamps.. ugly chip-thingy there. and another ugly chip-thingy. ahwell. overall below mediocre. * diz iz some good shit! Pass me another hit of this Trance. Please... write more trance!!! 5. Argh - tb-um.it 4.000 - **+ * AAAA! The melody's too loud! * This is one of the best songs of the compo. Almost lemm-ish cheerfulne ss.. however it is too repetitive. Could have used some volume slides or something on the backing squarewaves to change their volumes occasi onally.. sounds a bit dull as it is. Hey, you may think its rubbish but it still beats just about everythin g else in the compo. =) -Smash * Well.. isn't this a sweetie? goo-goo-goo. * groovy... * boring.. 6. Recc - 1comma5.xm 3.778 - **+ * Vague...short..... * Yup. * Yep.. this was.. hem.. eeek. help. someone call 911 :) * too damn short 7. Smiley - sm-sine.xm 3.750 - **+ * Too simple, too noisy..... * *slap*. Wipe that grin off yer face. * Catchy and everything, but far too short. Quite nice though. Nice soun d. Cool progression as well. I dig your progression a lot. * Noisy and ugly drums.. lacks variation.. bad theme.. UGLY waves! eeeeeek. distasterous background plink-plonk * sounds good, but goes nowhere... precussion was lame 8. Bargel - barg_31.it 2.750 - ** * Arghhhhhh! Come on! * Roses are red. Violets are blue. You your tune is crap, and so are you ! * Ewww. Discordant and not very well done anyway. No attention to detail .. errgh. * Haha.. nice pun in the title. um. yes. the tune itself, though, is irrevocably ugly and distorting. please let me out of here. please. no, seriously, I mean it. * LoGre? iz dat U? ----< the trackering 1997 hall of fame >------------------------------------ 1.

I'll be offering a samplepack in 1 hour, if you get them I'll declare you an contestant. If you weren't there in time, you can always get the sample- pack from ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/samples, just make sure you get the most recent pack. In the samplepack there is a file called deadline.txt, this shows the date and time when the deadline is. Right after you get the pack you can begin tracking. I want all the tunes back before the following weekend, same time(1am cet/7pm est). I'll be on IRC as axl_ (of course) at that time so you can just dcc them to me, or mail it to 'axelsson@freenet.hut.fi' with either UUEncode or MIME. This is just the deadline so you can send your tune to me during the week. * Note : TT is on AnotherNet, so connect your irc-client to one of these AnotherNet servers: - neato.org - irc.netnation.com - serve.org ---- voting ---- week : 2 The vote-pack will be out 1-2 hours after the compo-deadline and the pack will be available on IRC and on FTP : - ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/votepacks - ftp.arosnet.se /demo/musicdisk - filename : tt##vote.zip - where ## is the number of the contest. Everyone can judge the TT compo, but a contestant must judge it or he'll be disqualified. The voting system is a scale from 0-9. There will be a vote-form included in the vote-pack, which is almost self-explainatory :), If you need help on how to vote, then just mail me. The results will be out 1 week after the compo has ended, it'll be distributed on IRC and in the next sample-pack. You can also get it from ftp.cdrom.com /pub/demos/incoming/music/tt/results -----< rules >--------------------------------------------------------------- Formats Allowed : XM, MOD, S3M, MTM, IT Max Channels : 32 Channels.
