trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage amongst his books. for to you kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned by the flickering of a finger..... lessons: anonymous. a new day dawns, and a new production has seen the light of day, together with our new members: amigashark, ashtarot, typhoon and zippo welcome to the flash team!!! after almost a week of slow and dull coding, we managed to get it finished. yes, it is our second music disk. after our first music disk was finished, we haven't done much. fog has started on his first real demo, and the lazy one has had a short break. we didn't make this music disk because we wanted so badly to release our second one, as close as possible to the first one. the reason is quite simple. a week ago, our new member, amiga shark decided to go to the it-band-imp 666 copy-party in arendal. we had to release something there, good or bad, it didn't matter. we twisted our brains beyond it it's limits, but we couldn't come up with anything. a week was a little bit short time to make a demo, so we thought we had to come up with something else. we had thought of the possibility of making another music disk, but it wasn't very tempting. fog wanted to make something else, but we hadn't got much time. we forced fog to start, and he did. the coding went smooth, because we had the routines from the first one, and as you see, there haven't been any radical changes. we squeezed the equalizer, found a new ugly logo, and made a little scroll. it was the music selection that took time. everybody had different opinions about which one to pick, but after a while we came to agreement. well, anyway i'm sending a few personal hellos to: noise and the asylum freaks. you are some of my dearest contacts, and the firs contacts i got! hi dungeon master of ac-dc. always nice letters, and phone calls!! to cresendo of ghostriders. keep working with your party plans! thomas of the insiders. where are you! zeta of amigalords. always nice sendings. hobgoblin and brainbug. i haven't heard from you in a while. and the last one is flying over to gioppi carlo. nice to have you among my contacts, keep cool. the absolutely last thing i will do, is telling you about how i slimmed my wallet today. for over a week ago i (tbw) and tlo decided to by ourselves one golem drive each. we were going to order one from england, but then we had to buy a cheque. today we finally got together, and went to buy the cheque in the bank. when it at last was our turn, we asked for a cheque to england on 192 pound. the clerk went to the safe, and got one for us. 'that should be 2300 nok' he said and smiled. holy ghost! i had only got 1000 nok, and tlo had got 1050 nok. very amusing i thought. i had to go home and get some more cash. to be sure i collected 200 nok, instead of 150. tlo did the same, and after a while we met at the bank again. there were a few peoples in the bank, but after a little while, it was our turn again. the clerk smiled and looked greedy and mean. 'it was you who should by the cheque.' he said. 'i'm sorry, but i have miscalculated a bit. the 192 pound cost 2250 nok, but the cheque cost 100 nok, instead of 50 nok. together it costs 2350 nok.' how nice i thought. 'only' 100 nok for the cheque. luckily i brought with me 200 nok, so we had enough money after all. after we had got the cheque, we had to post it. we went to the post office, and bought the stamps. it should cost about 22 nok for the stamps, we thought. but, wrong again. the bitch behind the counter told us that it costed 37 nok. we hadn't actually lots of money, so we had to dig deep in our pockets to find something. we managed to get another 15 nok, and everything was over. now we have left to see if the golem drives arrives, or if we have been cheated. i think i have used to many bytes already, so i think it is someone else's turn to write something. the black wizard is dropping the keyboard. hello all freaks!! the time has come to let amigashark and typhoon write a few words to all of ya which are listening to our new and great music disk!! we really hope ya enjoy it !! first of all we will send a big thanks to the genius which coded this disk: flash of genius (ya have done a great job pal) the next message must go to a finnish group called team-x: i'm sorry that we (hi-fi) didn't join your group! i know that we said yes to the offer, but after a few days we got an even better offer!! we was invited to join a great group wich lived in the neighbourhood: -the flash team- !!! i hope ya understand our decition, 'coz we really hope ya will continue swap with us!!!!! here comes a new messie from typhoon: if somebody of my contacts are wondering why my sendings hasn't arrived, i can only tell ya that i'm terrible sorry!! the main reason for the long delay is that i have a lot of trouble with my post office!!!! they really trying to stop my fake stamps!!!! once, they stopped lots of packages, and they didn't send them to ya!!! after a week or two, i went to the post office to buy some new stamps, and the bastards which served me came with lots of old sendings which they had stopped!!! they also threated me with a penalty and stuff like that!!! i've heard a lot of other freaks which have the same problems!! we have to do something about 'em!!!! is there somebody out there who know about a safe way to cheat with the very expensive stamps, ya should contact us at once, 'coz we have money-trouble! well... enough bullshit! lets talk about something else!! we really want to send some hellos to some of our friends, so here comes some hellos: hi robocop of insanity -are you dead or what??? it's a long time since your last sending!! please wake up and send a package soon!! hello to anonymius -what do ya think of this product???? next go to the guys in avalanche -still trying to make a demo???? hello to maffia -keep up your great work on the amiga!! magic circle -hi hawkeye, sorry for the late sending! north point -hey lonewolf! please return zippo's disks!!! razor 1911 -mornings jettfire! keep up your great work!! the errors -hi boogie!! hope ya send something soon!! amiga lords -hello savage! i'm terrible sorry for the delay, but the post- office stopped my sending!! the last one goes to breakout: hi folks!! hope the disks from usa will arrive soon!! when does the next sending arrive my mailbox???? ...and to the rest of our contacts: have a nice day!!! here is some words from amigashark: i have a little message to a guy in breakout: if you still remember me, return my disks..... well, fuck the post-office for destroying my fake-stamps, it's not cheap to buy new stamps every week (i uses ca.150 nkr.in a week on stamps) grrrrrr, fuck them all!!!!" yeaah!! that was some words from a very angry amigashark!! oh my god!!! there isn't anymore space left on the disk, so we have to stop her. sorry! rts ERFIRST SOME BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS.

EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT IT WAS A HORRIBLE SOURCE RIP. TO RAZOR 1911: I'M GLAD THAT YOU WERE AMUSED BY OUR RANKING LIST ON THE FIRST MUSIC DISK. I STILL THINK IT IS QUITE GOOD. I AGREE THAT WE MISSED SOME GROUPS LIKE QUACKERS, CRUSADERS, GHOSTRIDERS, RAZOR 1911 AND A FEW OTHER ONES. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN CRITICIZED FOR NOT MAKING THE MUSIC BY OUR SELVES. IT IS A SHAME, BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ENJOYED THE DISK, EVEN IF THERE WASN'T ANY NEW SONGS THERE. IF WE HAD ANY MUSICIANS IN OUR GROUP, WE WOULD OF COURSE HAVE MADE A DISK WITH OUR OWN SONGS.
