        Well now, after all that, I guess I'll have to tell
        something about my humble self?

        I track music in a group called Crystalline. Other members
        are Warder and Vertigo, both more professional musicians
        than me.

        In this 'music disc'-package you will find the following songs:

                1) Beginning of the Tale
                2) Revelations
                3) Ancient Markings
                4) N'karian Battlesong
                5) Last Silence
                6) Spikes From A Rose ('Melodic Heavy')

        I tried to create some 'ethnic feeling' by setting some sort of
        theme that links these tunes together.. Those pieces of puzzle
        together, tell the story..


{       How the noble N'Karians discovered something from their past,       }
{       that would affect their future, so they would battle these things   }
{       to the bitter end. War raged, and eventually, the feelings of love  }
{       and remorse played large part in these battles. After a millenia of }
{       fighting, the N'Karians were the survivors. But at what cost..      }
{                                                                           }
{       Maybe the future will tell...                                       }



        This style of music is actually far from the stuff i normally write,
        but I thought that a little change won't do much damage..

        If there is something you'd like to complain about, or
        just want a plain old "chat", send email to: vtx@dlc.fi
