        artists         music: arachno, bacter, blot, bzl, ciccilleju, da fear, lithis,
                        little elk, nagz, nim, seablue, technoiZ, valzi, vhiiula,
                        vizion, vkm, zabu, and zinger

                        visual art: antonizer (skin), metapathy (3d), 
                        and 143 (cover)

                        code: metapathy, using BASS for sound (un4seen.com)

        released        9.1.2004

        length          70:30

        format          windows chipdisk

        note            uses directx 9b. we used the .mo3 format for the songs in
                        order to minimize the disk's filesize. if you wish to see
                        the comment text and such they can be played in xmplay or
                        converted back to their original formats using unmo3. Both
                        of these free and quite dandy programs can be found at
                        www.un4seen.com.

        backtrack's first release is a chipdisk for a few reasons. mostly, we
        thought a huge chipdisk would be a cool way to start with a bang (or at
        least a few blips.) the music ranges from maxi-minimalism to
        mini-maximalism, and in all of your favorite moods as well!

        nineteen artists were involved in the making of this thing, not counting
        the poor souls whose not-quite-fitting tunes were rejected. all this work
        adds up to 29 tunes and approximately 70.5 minutes of music for us.

        please realize, though, we are not a chipgroup. a few of us enjoy making
        chiptunes, but some do not even know how.

        many thanks to our wonderful guest-releasers! beautiful music, i must say.
        really, most of you guys and even the actual members (!) totally amaze me.
        i would never have imagined, i would be working with such talent so soon.
        thanks for letting me.

			                                               -valzi


        respect to our friends and many thanks to those who have helped us get off
        the ground! metapathy, zinger, and vizion have been essential in making
        this, our grand opening, possible.
