WHAT'S THIS THEN?? RIPPED MUSIC VOLUME 9 ALREADY! WASN'T VOLUME 8 ONLY RELEASED LAST WEEK??? INDEED IT WAS BUT JUST TO ANNOY 'LSD' HERE'S NUMBER 9. THIS R.M.D IS DEDICATED TO 'LSD' AND THEIR LITTLE ARTICLE SOME WEEKS AGO IN GRAPEVINE 5. NOW I DON'T WANT TO START ANY TROUBLE BETWEEN PLAGUE AND LSD! THERE'S ENOUGH TROUBLE-MAKERS AS THERE IS ON THE SCENE TO LAST 3 LIFE TIMES. I JUST WISH TO CONDUCT A DEFENCE FOR R.M.D'S!!! RECENTLY THERE HAS BEEN AS PARASITE WOULD SAY 'A PLAGUE' (IS THIS MEANT TO BE SOME FORM OF PUN I ASK!!!) OF R.M.D'S AND I AGREE WITH HIM ON THIS. SINCE I TOOK OVER DOING RIPPED MUSIC FROM MAGIC MUSHROOM WHEN IN 'CRACK' I'VE HAD MANY A PEOPLE SEND ME RIPPED TUNES DISKS AND BASICALLY THEY'VE ALL BEEN THE SAME WITH AN IFF SCREEN AND NOISEPLAYER V0795.536056 AND A HALF. CRACKS R.M.D WAS BASICALLY THE SAME BUT WITH OUR OWN CUSTOM MADE MODULE-PLAYER BY MATRIX (WHICH WAS RATHER DODGY TO SAY THE LEAST. BLAME MATRIX FOR THIS!!! I DO!!) SO WHEN I TOOK OVER I DECIDED TO CHANGE IT! THE RESULT YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW. (WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN COPIED BY MANY OTHER GROUPS WHEN DOING R.M.D'S) SO A LITTLE MORE TIME IS SPENT ON THIS THAN WHAT THE ARTICLE RECKONED. FOR A START I DON'T OWN AN ACTION REPLAY II SO ALL MY 'RIPPING' IS DONE BY HAND. RIPPING BY HAND IS NOT EASY ESPECIALLY AS SOME PEOPLE PROTECT THEM. (DON'T WORRY LSD I'M WORKING ON YOURS) I GET A GREAT DEAL OF SATISFACTION (OH ER) OUT OF FINALLY GETTING A WELL PROTECTED TUNE OUT. ANYWAY ENOUGH OF THE WARMUP AND ON TO THE SUBJECT AT HAND. PARASITES ARTICLE SAID THAT MOST PEOPLE HAD THE MUSIC CONTAINED ON THE R.M.D'S ALREADY! BUT I THINK WHAT PARASITE IS MISSING IS THAT EVERYBODY IS NOT A MEGA SWAPPER LIKE HIMSELF (I MYSELF INCLUDED) SO MOST PEOPLE WON'T HAVE HEARD ALL OF THE TUNES BEFORE. IN MOST DEMO CASES IT'S NICE MUSIC SHAME ABOUT THE DEMO. WOULD YOU KEEP A DEMO THAT WAS PRETTY NAFF JUST FOR THE MUSIC???? I KNOW I WOULDN'T AS SPARE DISKS ARE VERY PRECIOUS TO ME. ANOTHER POINT IS THAT AMIGA MUSIC IS POSSIBLY SOME OF THE BEST MUSIC YOU CAN HEAR ON A HOME COMPUTER. SO AFTER YOU'VE SPENT HOURS ON YOUR LATEST MUSICAL MASTERPIECE (WELL MINUTES IN MY CASE) AND THEN ONLY TO SEE IT APPEAR IN A 3 MINUTE DEMO AND THEN BE FORGOTTEN. WOULDN'T FINDING IT ON A COMPILATION THAT PEOPLE INTEND TO KEEP MAKE YOUR EFFORTS SEEM MORE WORTHWHILE!!! I'M SUPRISED NO ONES COME UP WITH THE IDEA OFF RIPPED GFX DISKS YET AS THE STANDARD OF GFX IS EQUALLY AS HIGH AS MUSIC. DON'T GRAPHICS DESERVE A SECOND SHOWING TOO??? (I GOOD IDEA KNOW WHERES MY AMIGA MON GONE OFF TO!!!) TO SUM UP THEN. I FEEL R.M.D'S ARE JUSTIFIED WITHIN THE SCENE. FOR EXAMPLE. HOW MANY PEOPLE WAIT UNTIL A RECORD IS RELEASED ON A COMPILATION ALBUM ALONG WITH OTHER FAVORITE RECORDS BEFORE BUYING IT!! WHERE AS THIS IDEA SOUNDS A LITTLE STRANGE THE PRINCIPLE IS STILL THE SAME. SO GIVE R.M.D'S A CHANCE LSD. I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY A SUPPORTERS OF R.M.D'S. HOPEFULLY PARASITES ARTICLE WILL CUT DOWN ON THE AMOUNT OF R.M.D'S THAT ARE FLYING ABOUT. PLAGUE THOUGH STILL INTEND TO KEEP DOING THEM. ONE THING I DO COMPLETELY AGREE WITH PARASITE ON IS RIPPING MUSIC FROM MUSIC DISKS. WHAT DO YOU THINK MUSIC DISKS WERE INVENTED FOR THICKIES!!!! PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH YOUR VIEWS ON THIS. AND AS I SAID I DON'T WANT TO START TROUBLE I JUST WANT TO HAVE MY SAY. AFTERALL ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF THE SCENE. A COMMUNITY WHERE WE ARE ALL GIVEN A RIGHT TO REPLY AND ALL TREATED AS EQUALS. (WELL WE SHOULD BE TREATED AS EQUALS BUT SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY'RE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS) NO USUAL R.M.D SCROLLER THIS TIME BUT ONE MESSAGE TO MATRIX/PLAGUE IF THIS ALL GOES DESPERATLEY WRONG THE GROUPS YOURS O.K DAVE! TIME TO GO AS SESAME STREET HAS JUST STARTED!!!! BBBBYYYYEEEEE
