 `----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

 "  Some people  say that it's  not right to  use samplers  and computers for
  composing music, because they are not 'natural' instruments... But when you
  turn on the  amplifier on a guitar,  it changes it's original sound at that
  very moment.  Every artist uses the techniques which are available in one's
  age. I'm sure if Van Gogh could have bought a camera, he'd made photos, not
  paintings. I think  it's  a big  mistake not  to use  modern  technologies.
  I'm very annoyed when people say that it's very  'easy' to make music  with
  computers because if you have good samples,  you have the song which you do
  not even have to play. This is a mistaken view. If you have  good  samples,
  you still need to find cool riffs,  write good songs,  imagine the sound of
  the whole  thing and  put it  together.  The advantage of this technique is
  that you have  much more  chances.  You can think in a wider range,  a much
  more opened spectrum.  Music is just what people make  with instruments, no
  matter if the instrument is a computer or a piece of wood with some strings
  which is  practically a guitar.  The  artist starts  the work from  zero no
  matter what the instrument is. Nobody sells ready-made songs. No machine is
  capable of doing that...
    ...Anyway, we want to prove that it's no use thinking in a closed space.

                                        Jon Clayden vocalist - Pitch Shifter."

 |                             About This Phase                               |
 `----------------------------------------------------------------------------'

  Well... finally phase 2. is finished.  Originally we didn't expect it to be
  ready in such a short time because we're fucking busy. There were plans for
  some singles  (Above 2., Ritual...)  but we decided  to release them in one
  pack.  What's special about this  disk is that all songs are in some way in
  connection with drugs.  All modules have a small trance influence...  no HC
  this time...:) As I've mentioned we've lotsa things to do and in a way it's
  difficult to  put these releases together,  but it's fun.  We don't want to
  disappear  for a long  while,  so the next few songs  are probably gonna be
  released when  they are  finished.  Also some  metal is on the way,  so you
  should  check out  the new Tracktor stuffs...  What I'd like  to mention is
  that we got only a few reactions for this label, and that no coders or GFX-
  artists  contacted us since Tracktor was formed.  I hope we'll receive more
  reactions in the future...

              TRACKTOR PLAYER V1.O (C)opyrighted by Tracktor l995
                             Release date: O9/O5/95

                                Code, ASCii: Bat
                              Design: Bat & Cyborg
                  Player: Midas Sound System by Sahara Surfers

                                 Control Keys:

                    Left arrow  - Jump one pattern backward
                    Right arrow - Jump one pattern forward
                    Up arrow    - Scroll the comment up
                    Down arrow  - Scroll the comment down
                             F  - Flash on/off
                             F1 - Decrease Red
                             F2 - Increase Red
                             F3 - Decrease Green
                             F4 - Increase Green
                             F5 - Decrease Blue
                             F6 - Increase Blue
                             F7 - Decrease RGB
                                  (until one colour reaches value 'O')
                             F8 - Increase RGB
                                  (until one colour reaches value '63')

  Flash may damage your monitor and your eyes... :) So if you're not watching
  just listening,  you should turn it off...  We'll not feel  responsible  if
  we'll see some blind dudes in Tracktor T-Shirts =) and also,  we don't take
  responsibility  if the player blows  your hi-fi or  computer or whatever...
  Note that Flash works only when volume is equal to 64.  We have seen some
  strange things on computers with Cache and EMS. :) So, just in case...

                           The player should run on:

                               Gravis UltraSound
                             Gravis UltraSound MAX
                       Creative Labs Sound Blaster series
                     Media Vision Pro Audio Spectrum series
                         Microsoft Windows Sound System
                         ...and on the clones of these.

  It'll also run if you don't have a soundcard.  If the player fails to detect
  your card, it'll run in the No Sound mode :)...  But the songs can be played
  with external players as well  -  anyway, they are played correctly with the
  Tracktor Player. The Sound System would also be capable of playing  MODs and
  MTMs,  but in this phase there was no need for this.
  Some Tips: If you have a GUS and the player hangs up, try a clean boot (XMS)
  and run 'ultrinit.exe' before starting...
  If your soundcard doesn't have on-board memory, then try  an Expanded Memory
  Manager because Midas Sound System supports EMS... simple ehh? :)
  Anyway... you can listen to the songs with an external player so...
