Welcome to the latest QUARTZ production þ called Silicon Sounds þ released at the 16bit show, London, England, on the 16/2/92. ACE here (the coder of this music disk!), well, I have been on and off the scene for a few months now, this largely being due to my studies at college, but my love of Amiga always takes priorty!!!, quite a few things have gone down recently that have caused a lot of controversy, the first being ripped music disks, (Synthetic Vibes), well, I would first like to say that the person who didthis is NO LONGER IN QUARTZ þ and no, we did not kick him out, he left. First though, let us tell you that this was not an ripping exercise, it was a just a collection of some of the best(in our opinion), when Magnetic Fields released a disk a few years ago, there was not have as controversy surrounding that (but it seems opinions change!), we are VERY sorry to those whom we offended by this, the guy who compilied it (HYDLIDE) says that no allterations were made to the tunes, and anyway differences were due to Noise-Packing, we regret what happened, but our intentions were good. If anyone has any further complaints, please address them toHYDLIDE of GHOST. Steiner I read your article your case is one the exceptions, we apologise and hope you do not hold a grudge, (if some bastard did that to my code I would do more than write a letter!!!) Just a quick message to Harlequin, I am glad we could sort out that little problem!, incidently, this disk uses my own trackloader (Trackdisk.device, lame I know, but I wrote it!!), hopefully, we can forget all the shit!!. Before I go though, I need to mention a disturbing trend I have noticed, - POACHING - I know people have different opinions on this, but I think poaching is the act of LAMERS, but, as with life, you have to put up with the kunts!!, some argue that people should be able to come and go as they please, BUT, normally it consists of more than just an invitation to join, normally, it starts with some phonecalls, then they degrade the present group of the poachie, then they churn out loads of shit about how brilliant their group is then THE BIG QUESTION... Recently QUARTZ have been the subject ofa systematic mega poach, but, they did not succeed, the group who started this will remain nameless they know who they are. The group has one message to these people FUCK OFF, IF WE WANTED TO BE IN YOUR GROUP, WE WOULD HAVE ASKED. IF YOU ARE AFTER NEW MEMBER THEN ADVERTISE IN A DISK MAG,(OR ARE YOU AFRAID OF GETTING MEMBERS WHO KNOW THE TRUTH).... anyone is welcome to try and poach our members, they will not succeed.. my message is............. POACHING IS A HOBBY FOR LAMERS þ it is late, and I suppose I had better continue doing this music, till the next time CUL8er!! Hi, MuTaNt MaNgO here to ruin your life and destroy your brain!! Erm, what to? lets do a load of messages to sum of my kewl contacts and friends in the scene... >Tantalus of Destiny< Cheers 4 the Mercury tape!

Well, thats enough messages... lets have a few words from Mr. Jaz, take it away mister... Hi Tiz I, Jaz welcoming you to my part of this MASSIVE mountain of ascii on this Quartz music disk, Somewhere I had a disk full of texts which I could just bung into scrollies and things, Well I'll be buggered if I can find it, so I'm just going to have to make it up on the spot. Hmmm... I know what I'll do I'll get the text from one of my Bushy Eyebrow packs, Here we go lets have one of my inventions:- Jazzie Invention No.1 - Interia disk compression. Have you ever gone to save a picture or module or just finishing your latest pack when up pops that little requester saying that the disk is full, arggh! and that disk is the only formatted one you have! So what do you do? Until now you would probably get rather riled. Well I have solved this problem, and its just so easy to do. First take the offending disk, and make sure its not write protected, because the data needs to be free to move around the disk. Now with finger and thumb hold the disk by its metal shutter, and extend the arm holding the disk up above your head. Now quickly flick your arm down in front of you. The energy of this motion sends all the data on the disk to the other end compressing it against the side of the disk, thus leaving half of the disk free! You can repeat the process again & again to get better compression, but usually 7 fully extended arm flicks is enough. This information is share-info. If you use it or like it then send a banana fritter to my address, and I will send you any up-dates. Also write to me with any bugs found or new ideas. Hmmm. Well that was jolly interesting wasn't it. Ok, let's tell you what you should be seeing from Quartz soon(ish) (Well, you know things always take longer than you think they are going to) Anyhow, In a few days from the time of writing this text (15 Feb 92) we will be releasing another BBS intro, As we seem to be getting new boards every month! and of course our Sysops can never get enough publicity. Of course there are loads of other things in the pipeline, but it would probably be very boring to write them all here. Well our music disk `Synthetic Vibes' seems to have caused a whole load of trouble, all we which we very much regret, we didn't intend to offend or upset anyone. The main problems caused from this disk are rooted from the rather rushed or careless compiling by Hydlide, who sometimes didn't look to hard to find the composer of each tune. The incident with Steinar's tune was not deliberate, and the change of chord is a mystery to Hydlide, he swears that he was not responsible for it, and can only put it down to one or more of the following, Errors while transfering files, errors while packing or depacking, or the incompatibility between Noisetracker and Protracker, whatever it was it was accidental. We would never even consider changing a musicians compositions. Again we apologise for the occurences that have come from this production. Ok let's switch out humble mode, and send a few messages to some people, Firstly a big hello to Dunhill of Conquerors who I met in London when he came over from Jordan, it was good to see you mate, Sorry that was unable to make it a second day, but the coach service from Somerset to London isn't exactly that frequent, and with me missing the last coach home last time, I was a bit short for cash, after having to pay the price of flaming train fare. Flaming British Rail, they`re almost as bad as British Telecom. I don't know it's seems these days that there are fewer and fewer jobs, but the big companies just keep on making more and more money. Hum Har Hum Har Hum Har Hum.. Now where was I?? That's right I was doing messages, Ok here's a message for you guys in our Swedish team, Ok thanks for letting us know about the BBS's but what about the numbers? Send them soon please!! I'm going to have to cut the waffle now, as I am setting a boundary of 5000 bytes, and right about now I only have 1019 bytes left, So onwards, With a message to Kam and Fx, it's been great chatting to you on the mail box system, It's a shame that we now only have one message slot, Oh well, Let's hope we stubble across another useable system soon. Next a message to Sidewinder what's happened to you? It must be about a month or so now, How are things? Next a message to Trosty, It's good to be swapping with you again, Hope to see you when you come back in March, Will you be going to the Anarchy Party by the way? Oh, and one other thing what speed modem do you have? Well that's about it as far as messages go, except to say hi to all the guys I am in contact with, and if you are looking for your group greeting then they are probably around here somewhere. Under 300 bytes left so, time to wrap things up. This music disk `Silicon Sounds' has to be finished 100% in about 9 hours, and that includes kipping time as well, there's nothing like late night rush to get a production finished. Well I'll be off now as I think it was about time you got to hear from somebody else.....Seeee Yaaahh.... ... .. . well, now lets have a few words from Fridge. take it away cooling device..... Hello nasty people, its Fridge here with some jolly fun and library cheese for all to please, baby! Five nights switch cheesin and there wasn't much sax going round cos yesterday I had a girl, to me she meant all the world, until the Chunky Choc Ice filled her arm, now she fills me with Happy Shopper strawberry milkers!! heres a big hello.......H E L L O !!! not bad eh? Cheesin on the corner, man. Sheesh! I like a bit of ham on my toast. Ponder on the embankment that stands in between. Has anyone got any 'Star Trek T.N.G.' third series on video before 'Hunted'? If so contact me via whatever method poss-nibble! By youself right from the start you live in doubt so I'm off to cook some crispin` and cheesin` cheese, baby. Thirsty and Miserable!! Cheers 4 that message of hope and good cheer M8! Yes, MuTaNt MaNgO is back with a quick message B4 I hand Uover to Choppa, vote 4 my packdisk charts, write 2 me, MuTaNt MaNgO, 4 A form, or look in the >C< directory of my Packdisk >ORAC PACK< 4 an ASCII file 2 print out!

Now heres some text from Chopper(the fat bastard that never sends me ANYTHING!!!!, ACE) þWell it is CHOPPA here, I am at home listening to PRODIGY on my kewl 96K Stereo. A message to all Quartz members at the show sorry I could not be there but raving comes first (Right TREV!). A few messages to some of my contacts.
