HANGOVER IN MY HEAD BLOODRUNRAT INTENTIONAL LOPED MINUTE CLARITY MUMU MOVE PA-HA-TI POLYSTAR SPIRIT OF 84 STOPGLOCK TRANCE TUBULE Badoobiewoobie in full effect.... Axis present, for the Digital Party in 1995, Chip-Squared.. > (en-trance-d.) < Code by Nik, Graphics by Giz/Lysergicthingy, and all music by Hollywood. Additional graphics help by that lovely Lowlife character. woop woop woop..... here we are again, another scene production, another few hours spent typing, another few days spent composing, another few bytes go out on the worldwide network. Hope everyone appreciates this follow-up to Chip, the original originally named chip-pack. this one doesn't sound as chippy, and has some stranger, less mainstream tunes on it. Don't let that put you off, though, the songs are still there somewhere..... By the way, Axis commandeered this menu after it was coded for a Balance chip-pack a couple of years ago, and never used. So I got Giz to redo some of the graphics, and we just slotted my tunes in. Maybe it's a bit old-school, but it'll probably be back in fashion in a couple of months. Thanks to Giz for redoing the logos, anyhow, and to Lowlife for fixing the squared sign and the Axis logo when he was in London for the ECTS. Hmm. Well, this is Hollywood here, btw, and I'm kinda at a loss as to what to say. I hope everyone appreciated Time N Emotion... I was pleased to get it finally released, and get rid of my old tunes. And the couple of new ones I was happier with, of course. Well, I wasn't unhappy with any of them, you know what I mean..... oh, by the way, the bonus-track on this chip-pack is Bloodrunrat, which was composed as part of the 20 Meenuhtz Chip-compo on the Internet.. basically, every Friday at midnight CET there's a competition in which a set of chip-samples are given out on Internet Relay Chat, and the competitors have precisely 20 minutes to compose a tune using them. My tune is the one for the 13/14th October, and I don't yet know how well I did (there were 20 competitors and votes are still being collected.) Anyhow, it's a really great idea, and excellent fun (Aquafresh was the only other British musician competing last week, but he got his tune disqualified, awwwwwwww.) There are some really good competitors, too (a lot of PC musicians, like Zodiak/Complex+Cascada and Floss/Kosmic.. if any of you have a chance to try it, the competition is held on IRC at channel #chipcompo.) Actually, talking of the Internet (blah, aren't you fed up with me talking about the Internet?), you can get in contact with me (up to June 1996) via email at s.m.carless(at)dur.ac.uk... and my new WWW homepage is at http://www.dur.ac.uk/~d3fbcw, so go check it out if you possibly can. :) ...greets, as always, go out to all my friends, everywhere. If I don't mention you specifically, I won't get blasted for missing you out. :) Well, we were hoping to get a 60k intro released for this party, but it looks like things messed up, with Nik being too busy with the game we're doing, and us not having enough time to design it properly. We'll probably do something for The Party 5 involving it. Perhaps we should just mention the forthcoming Axis releases.. we have (tadaa!) the much much much delayed first in a series of music-discs from Subi, called "Uplift War Vol.1", which'll be regular releases. And we'll have Lowlife's slideshow, "Fairy Tale", coming out towards Christmas. And in addition, a bunch of stuff for The Party 5. You just wait and see, we r00l. :) As for me, I'll carry on meandering about, doing a tune here, a tune there. Being aimless is an art. And I think it's time for me to go and vary my aim somewhere else, so I'll leave you now. But I'll find something interesting to put in the scrolltext, some kind of fun text file. hang on.... ... Well, just so you don't get bored... most people know about the alien autopsy from Roswell which has had a lot of publicity recently? Well, let's face it, it's a tiny bit unlikely... and the following text file proves, to my mind, that aliens never crashlanded at Roswell. The following are verbatim transcripts of material posted on America Online claiming a new explanation to the Roswell incident. Let the discussion begin on the validity of this new claim. Maurice Volaski Subj: Re: ROSWELL SOLVED 94-06-19 10:54:10 EDT From: JoelC23358 The Roswell case may finally be solved...and the evidence hinges on women's garments, not extraterrestrial superalloys! Researchers have contacted the senior surviving member of the New York University Balloon Group, a special organization involved in the secret construction and launching of nuclear detection balloons from White Sands, New Mexico in June-July 1947. This secret operation was called "Project Mogul." The Mogul balloons were launched as clusters- a long cable with about ten large neoprene balloons attached. (explains the large quantity of debris). Hanging below was a large balsa and aluminum-foil radar reflector called a "Rawin target," much like a box-kite in construction. (Used to track the balloon in flight). The Mogul balloons carried classified barometric sensors to detect the atmospheric shock waves produced by possible Soviet nuclear detonations. Thus the project was very sensitive (possibly "Q"-nuclear classified stuff, outside the normal Air Force balloon project lists). The NYU balloon expert was given a detailed description of what Jesse Marcel, the Roswell base intelligence officer, recalled about the debris he found on the Brazel ranch near Corona, NM. When the balloon expert heard the part about the tape covered with flower patterns and writing, he immediately said, "yes, that's our balloon." He knew for a fact that this was the case because the Rawin radar targets were fabricated in the New York garment district during WWII using the same kind of flowered clothing tape used in women's garments! A positive ID. The balloon was launched in mid to early JUNE - up to three WEEKS before Brazel reported the debris to authorities- probably explaining why Marcel couldn't burn the balsa or parchment-like substance. (damp from rainstorms). The NYU balloon expert was flying from NM to NYC on the day the Roswell story broke, so he never heard about it at the time, and never had a chance to identify the debris as his - until now. I don't expect that this explanation will satisfy balievers, but to me it closes the case. The balloon expert is one of the most noted experts in the field - in fact he made a one of the most famous UFO sightings of the 1940s at White Sands! More when it becomes available. (from E-mail) I am not the originator of this information- full disclosure from those people will come with time. All I know is I talked to CB Moore, the guy who launched the secret Mogul balloon, and he told me that his balloon had tape with pink and purple markings on it- one of the most unique "signatures" of the Brazel ranch debris. (subsequent post) 2. The Mogul device was NOT, repeat, NOT A WEATHER BALOON. It was a huge, complex "train" of several, possibly TEN, connected balloons, possibly three to five hundred feet tall and carrying a very large box-kite-like radar reflector made of wood and aluminum foil or metal-coated plastic. 3. Why is it so strange that nobody talked about a MINOR project like Mogul for fifty years? Well, why didn't all these hundreds of people who were involved in the retrieval operation surface until the pro-Roswell writers went looking for them? Surely one of the people involved in the most important event in history (man's first encounter with ET technology) would have talked prior to that? 4. The accounts of the crashed saucer and bodies are contradictory - which one do you choose to believe?
