Known bugs...

1) When switching to a new mod, some strange sounds can be heard. I don't
know why this happens as I reset the sound system and restart the mod
routine everytime. I think it has something to do with the DSP code.

2) The demo bombs out now and again seemingly randomly on the main menu.
The demo does not stop but a couple of bombs appear - just restart the
demo when this happens.

Part of original Amiga scroll text has been included here.
                    
`DAZZLER` IS A BUMPY DISCO TUNE TO GET YOU IN THE RIGHT MOOD FOR THIS
PRODUCTION. ALL INSTRUMENTS WERE SAMPLED FROM A SOUND CD. IT IS A RATHER
BASIC SONG BUT WHO CARES AS LONG AS IT TAKES POSSESSION OF YOUR FEET ?!             

`MY GLAMOROUS LIFE` IS 100 PERCENT OF MERCILESS DISCO ECSTASY WITH BASHING
DRUMS SAMPLED FROM A TWELVE INCH MIX OF `YOU SPIN ME ROUND` BY DEAD OR ALIVE
PLUS SOME NICE SPEECHIES TAKEN FROM THE ERASURE ALBUM `WILD` AND FROM
FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD`S `WELCOME TO THE PLEASUREDOME` CD WHILE TWO TINY
SYNTH NOISES WERE SAMPLED FROM KOTO. MOREOVER THERE ARE PIANO CHORDS, A PAN
AND A BRASS FROM MY TG33. THIS PIECE IS TO EXPRESS GLORY, FREEDOM AND ENERGY
SO TURN UP THAT BASS! WATCH OUT FOR THE FAST SYNTH SOLO AT THE END
- IT`S UPLIFTING ......    

`WIZARDRY` TOOK ABOUT 3 MONTHS TO GET FINISHED FOR I ALWAYS FOUND SOMETHING
TO ADD OR TO CHANGE. ALL SAMPLES ON THIS PIECE WERE DONE BY ME, FROM A ROLAND
D10 AS WELL AS FROM THE PET SHOP BOYS 12 INCH OF `JEALOUSY`  

`STAGEBOX REMIX` IS A NEW VERSION OF A SONG THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED IN
OUR `SANITY IS DEAD` DEMO SOME TIME AGO. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS AN ERROR
IN THE REPLAY SO SOMETIMES THE TUNE COLLAPSED. THIS REMIX FEATURES A
COMPLETELY NEW SAX WHICH IS A  MIX OF TWO SOUNDS - FROM THE TG33 AND THE
PSR400  - AND I LIKE IT MUCH BETTER THAN THE OLD ONE FOR THIS ONE IS LIKE
A SCREAMING BABY! HERE THE DRUMS WERE SAMPLED FROM THE ALBUM `LICENSED TO
ILL` BY THE BEASTIE BOYS WHILE THE SAX WAS MIXED WITH SOUNDS FROM THE TG33
AND THE PSR400 BY YAMAHA. THE SPEECHY WAS STOLEN FROM `BEAT DIS` BY BOMB
THE BASS, SOME FX TAKEN FROM THE ROLAND D10.         

`BREATH  OF LIFE` IS A RATHER NEW TUNE WHICH IS SPLIT IN THREE DIFFERENT
PARTS. THE FIRST ONE IS SLOW AND MOODY IN ORDER TO LET YOU RELAX WHILE
IN THE SECOND ONE I TURN FROM JESTER TO JAZZTER - JUST HEAR IT.
FINALLY THERE`S SOME MORE FAST DISCO STUFF WHICH IS OBLIGATE FOR ME!

FINALLY WE HAVE `NAZGUL` WHICH IS A BIT OF A BREAK FROM THE NORM.
ALL SAMPLES WERE TAKEN FROM MY YAMAHA TG33, A DEPECHE MODE AND AN ART
OF NOISE TWELVE INCH RECORD. I WOULD CALL THIS TUNE DEPRESSED TECHNO
OR PROBABLY SOME KIND OF FUSION OF TECHNO AND NEW WAVE. HOWEVER THE
SONG WASN`T WRITTEN WITHOUT ANY REASON FOR IT IS TO DESCRIBE THE BLACK
RIDERS OR `NAZGUL` FROM THE ULTIMATE FANTASY TRILOGY `THE LORD OF THE
RINGS` BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN
