    This is the first in a series of releases of .MODs and .MEDs in a
    multi-module 'mod album' format.  The main goal of mod albums is to 
    release a set of songs with common stylistic and emotional elements
    in a coherent package that goes beyond the single mod.  These albums
    will be primarily released in OctaMED format, since this easily 
    supports multiple songs within one file (although I will hopefully 
    get around to pro-tracker conversion of these releases ;)

    The reason for doing this is to get trackers aware of the musical 
    complexities and possibilities involved in the production of a set
    of music which comprises a coherent 'album'  (not to mettion that I
    felt like doing this ;)  

    Hopefully this first mod-album will serve as an example of what the 
    OctaMED MMD1 mod format is capable of, (and of the potential for
    the overlooked OctaMED synthsounds).  

    Samples were obtained from:
    Synthsounds         created by me.
    Drum Synthounds     converted from samples to octamed synthosunds
                         using the SYNtool utility (written by me ;)
    Samples             various other mods (I really have no idea
                        where I got most of my sample collection from...
                        ...if you're one of the 'source of the samples
                         is more important than the actual music' types,
                         then perhaps you're missing the point of the 
                         music...
    S3M.beat            From the Second Reality soundtrack (ugh...oh no...
                         everyone rips those samples...how un-original)
                         ...whatever...
