Transient sez:
"Transient" is a new electronic music group with dreams of the big time. At
present we only have two members, Homer j and Naff. After knowing each other
for years, we decided to put some of our tunes into an album length release.
We're not out to sell any copies just yet, but you never can tell, can you?
Although none of Naff's tunes appear on this particular album, he is still
considered to be an integral part of Transient.
Oh, by the way, if any group/individual would like to help release/spread
our mods on a permanent basis, or if anyone is interested in joining up with
us, or if you need a musician in your crew or music for your production,
then just get in touch with us at one of the above addresses.
This whole album idea came about when one day we decided to put together a
couple of tracks to burn onto a CD. After laying a few basic ideas down and
investigating into how much it would cost us to produce the CD, we decided
to go to a tape format first and then maybe progress to CD. Please note that
we never intended to make massive amounts of the CD and conquer the market,
instead we only wanted about five copies and to distribute them to some good
friends and people in "tha bizness" to see what the response would be like.
Anyway, the costs involved made the CD a non-reality, so we recorded the
album onto some good quality tapes using just a normal Pioneer stereo and
tape deck <see below for details>. The result was impressive (not surprising
considering the amount of time that was put into writing and editing the
songs to sound decent) and we thought it would be cool to try to sell them.
The total length of the album is approximately 42 minutes. This is a nice
size as it fits snugly onto one side of a 90 minute tape. :)
The album goes on sale on the 19-06-1997, at the same time as the uploading
of this archive. There is no advertising planned so far and like before,
we're not expecting huge sales. If we sell some copies, great. If we don't,
who cares? This was, is and always will be a fun project. However, a little
bit of professionalism never hurt anyone.
Of course, anyone downloading this archive could put all the tracks onto a
tape themselves. But then they don't recieve the trippy looking cover
picture and nice design layout of the whole album. :)
About copyright: As far as we're concerned anyone can remix, rehash, rip,
use, hack, and play these songs anywhere, anytime, with anything that they
want to. The only little rule is that you should credit `Homer j' or
`Transient' as the original author/s of the songs/samples that you use.
If you do remix any of these tunes, it would be nice if you could send a
copy of whatever you come up with to one of the above addresses. Thanks.
If anybody wants a copy of "Visions", mail us the above E-mail address and
we'll organize a method of getting the album to you. This offer is not just
restricted to Australian customers. Anyone in the world can ask for a copy.
As a guide, the cost of the album is AUD$5 (5 Australian dollars). Postage
and packing costs will differ, depending on where you want the album sent.
