    |  yes.  there it goes.  i've managed to keep preparing massage  for   |
    |  one long year.  and thus it's about time for some special present   |
    |  for  all of you listeners out there. (for me as well, heh).  it's   |
    |  of course an extended issue.  featuring my very very favourite 16   |
    |  musicians. enjoy this supa collection :)  it's quite big, but you   |
    |  bet it's worth!                                                     |
    |                                                                      |
    |  what has happened this year? lot of things and i'm not the one to   |
    |  judge them. but it seems to me that the last era of tracked music   |
    |  has just finished. with new technologies and bigger audience, the   |
    |  time of mp3ism is here. you can be disappointed, you can quarrel.   |
    |  but noone can turn the time. because of this i was thinking about   |
    |  quiting the massage project.  it's better to call it  a wrap when   |
    |  you could,  deffinitely better than to die slowly.  and there are   |
    |  scene projects,  that do have  the potential.  i must mention  at   |
    |  least goodstuff, static line, noerror and orange juice.  moreover   |
    |  (but it's a secret, so don't tell anyone) - i'll be probably in a   |
    |  team, that is gonna estabilish both net and pirate fm radio, so i   |
    |  will be focusing on other priorities...                             |
    |  well.  behind us are right  now 17 regular  issues and 6 specials   |
    |  (including this one). and my decision is to make at least  3 more   |
    |  regulars and 4 specials (there are some kind people that have yet   |
    |  promised their own specials, thx!). and then? then...  we'll see.   |
    |  :) future is wide open. we never know: i might be knocked down to   |
    |  atoms by a meteor tommorow as well. and the same with ya. so live   |
    |  as the judgement day is close. live all you can!                    |
    |                                                                      |
    |  as the package  would be almost 14 mb,  i've decided to divide it   |
    |  into two parts. about the mailing list - it should be  fixed with   |
    |  the next issue. and sorry  for a little delay - i've  intented to   |
    |  release  the pack on 20th - a year  after the first issue (btw. -   |
    |  how many of you actually read and downloaded the earlier  issues?   |
    |  i tell you - you should do it). it was not an easy job, but still   |
    |  it's in time  for calling it  a christmas present.  so merry xmas   |
    _|  and even happier new year!                                          |_

    |  music for late nights,  when everything is sleeping and it's just   |
    |  between you  and the stars. a secret of knowing. awesome ambient.   |
    |  slow and tacit. string and  chords and wicked noises.  actually a   |
    |  first  track of great sirius ep which is  imho a top if we should   |
    |  talk about ambient.                                                 |

    |  a majestic  ambiental rock ballad?  sort of tribute  to a legend?   |
    |  powerful example to  prove you can arrange an almost professional   |
    |  song  even in such genre. with its end  there's time to say  good   |
    |  bye. there  were good bits  - and i hope that  2001 will turn  up   |
    |  pretty well too :)                                                  |

    |  to spread good music. that's my goal.  i'm trying to support you,   |
    |  the  listeners, with high  quality modules.  it's simple. i  give   |
    |  you the latest  production as well as oldskool mods. but it's top   |
    |  class music, no boring shit. i'm  searching through the net. well   |
    |  known labels as well as new stars. i want the only thing...  more   |
    |  happy listeners and  more happy authors.  i use only tha originoo   |
    |  archives.  if you would spread those packs in your  neighborhood,   |
    |  please do the same.                                                 |

    |  i'll be trying  to do my best. twice per month. 8 tunes, but less   |
    |  than 8 MB. about 40 minutes of music...  still you think that one   |
    |  fucked up mp3 does any good? + one nice gfx added...                |
    |                                                                      |
    |  tunes I  chose are tunes I really like.  it's your problem if you   |
    |  don't and our mutual  pleasure if you do too.  don't hesistate to   |
    |  write me about your favourite tracks  (and where to find them). i   |
    |  will have a look.                                                   |
