This mod has nothing really special in it, so i'm not going to spend a lot
of time writing about it. This was an attempt to get a really nice sound
from a mod, suitable for playing on a big stereo system. I have tried to get
the intro bass notes to not "pop". Some composers may have noticed that when
you write a droning sort of bass, the pops are not apparent until you play
the mod through anything but the monitor speakers. Please forgive all the
silly looking timing commands and pauses. That's how i got around the pops.

It has been a month since any of my mods have been uploaded, because i
haven't had the necessary creative juices. I could have released any old
lame shit (maybe i have now) but i didn't want to.

Some samples were taken from other mods. Following is a list of some of the
samples and, according to my readme and text directories, where they came
from and who wrote the tunes.

  --Sample------No.(s)-----Module name---------------Author--

    BassStrum   (1)        Ectoplasm                 The Anonymous One
    Cymbal      (6)        Ectoplasm                 The Anonymous One

Thanks to all above (and others) who provided these fine samples. I hope
they don't mind too much. All hat and drum rhythms were mixed by me using
Mod2Smp. If you re-use my samples or (god forbid) re-mix this mod, then it
would be nice if you sent me a copy of whatever you use it in.

Quiz Time: Does any body know of a Mod2Smp style program that works with med
           modules? In essence a Med2Smp! If you know of or have such a
           program, then a small e-mail would be appreciated. Thanks.

E-mail me for comments, suggestions, module and/or sample swapping, or just
for a chat (yes, i am that bored). With over 44 mb worth of samples and
230 mb of various modules, i have a lot to swap. Some of the samples are
rather good, some are average, and some are downright crap. I guess the
same could be said for the modules! :)

*Newsflash*: On top of the 230 mb of modules on my hard drive, i now have
             some CDs packed with modules. I estimate that these CDs bring
             my total collection size to around 4 gig!

Note: From now on, all of my mods will be in the med directory on Aminet and
have a hmr_ prefix. My first uploaded mod, Parallax, did not have this, but
was re-uploaded with the prefix. (hopefully)
