ÛWelcome!° to Shunt's first, and hopefully not last music disk!þ
We're sorry the disk has been delayed, we were hoping toþ
have it out by Feb' 99 but most of us have been ratherþ
busy. Shunt isn't (and may never be) a demo group, we'reþ
just a liddle tracking group, currently existing of fourþ
members, they are:þ

`I'm just happy we finally got it all sorted and released thisþ
thing. It's been quite a long time coming and we could ofþ
spent a lot more time making it even better but the timeþ
came for us to just put everything together and release it
After all this is our first release and definitelyþ
not our last...'þ

`wheee! our first production! My first real anything in the SAþ
Demoscene! i've been interested in demos, tracking and suchþ

`This is my first tracking group, and there for my firstþ
music disk. It all came quite suddenly.  I'm new to theþ
tracking scene, but I feel that in a few years time, you'llþ
be seeing a lot more of my stuff. Thanx Jonathan forþ
all the tracking help!'þ

`Well, I guess I've just sifted through the ranks as theþ
scene has matured. Finally I end up with Shunt, doing what Iþ
do and love best - Tracking. A fond memory of Innerþ
Fear, SandStorm, Zone Trippers and AlphaVille will always beþ
with me, but for now and for as far as I can predict....'þ

And now folks... ±Hello! Still alive?° Right.. well if you're stillþ
listening, and wondering why the Ûmenu music° sounds so dull,þ
Then I s'pose you'd fancy browsing the songs for somethingþ
that gets you wet..þ

Oh, before I forget, you probably want to know how to ²selectþ
²a song° right, just move yer ±"ugly-designed-cursor (tm)"° o'erþ
the song title and hammer the ²left mouse button° once..þ

²ÈElectric Space TravellerÜ± by chuKþ
Ûstyle:­ drum 'n bassþ
þ
This is probably the most intence drum n bass track I'veþ
writen. It's 5 minutes of break beat and bass lines that'll flip
your top! (Headphones recomended!!)þ
Thanx to Tom Morrelow for the fuct sample.þ
þ
²ÉTea for Two, Late Sunday AfternoonÝ± by JCWþ
Ûstyle:­ jazzþ
þ
Picture a sunny, sunday afternoon, at 4pm, the sun has almost set 
and you're sitting on the porch cuddled up aginstþ
your love. ..Tea for two, as the song says.þ
þ
²ÊThe InitiationÞ± by Chromeþ
Ûstyle:­ gothic/industrial?þ
þ
I've always been a believer of exploring new avenues ofþ
music. This is one that I've never been down before, but willþ
probably pay many a happy visit to in the future. It hasþ
been dubbed dark-electro-goth, but whatever it is, it hasþ
character. Being the first song that I release under theþ
Shunt label (Aswell as for the musicdisk), I thoughtþ
that the title was quaint :)þ
þ
²ËWhats with Today?ß± by chuKþ
Ûstyle:­ drum 'n bassþ
þ
This is a weird track inspired by a line from a movie:þ
'Whats with you today?   Whats with today, today?'þ
Be sure to pump up the bass on your equalizer, and useþ
FTII or ModPlug Player to play back.þ
þ
²ÌHollow Vibesà± by Jahyaþ
Ûstyle:­ drum 'n bassþ
I wasn't totally satisfied with this tune I didn't have muchþ
time to put it together and in the end the overall soundþ
of the song suffered, but it came out alright and I putþ
together some nice samples for future use.þ
þ
It isn't exactly a straight forward dn'b tune, it's on aþ
mellow tip and I guess I got some of my inspiration fromþ
the the artcore compilations on react records, which btw is aþ
shit label but what are we poor music deprived south africansþ
supposed to do, i aslo sampled some sounds off artcore3þ
namely the main break from `The Spirit - Solar Glide'  thatþ
mellow organ from `Bliss `n' Tumble - The Journey' and theþ
old skool jungle break from some tune by DJ-SS orþ
someone off a formation records limited edition boxset myþ
other samples are from various sample CDs and such...þ
þ
²ÍEden Hath Fallená± by JCWþ
Ûstyle:­ new-age/atmosphericþ
þ
This track i'm using as the introduction for my upcomingþ
and first album - Disorientated - Hope you enjoy!þ
