- 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.
