 )   /
(   ]

In case you didn't realize, the picture I made at the top:
That round weird looking thing is an unknown moon, and that
daft spotlight with the black squeres in it is a satalite. :)
O yeah, now you're laughing huh? Nou you think I can't draw huh?
Look at my website and check the cover I made for 'alone in a big city',
and we'll see who's laughing! :))))

No kidding.
Anyway, you probably noticed, this song is quite long.
1O:38 to be exact. Hmmm... Guess what.
It also took me a long time to complete this!
Around the 70 hours, over 5 months.
And I even hurried, because of BotB's unpatience! ;)

                                     THE STORY
It's three o'clock.
Suddenly, he woke up, spit out his coffee and so get the atention
of the other NASA-staff in the room. They all watched the big screen in the
center of the room, which showed the pictures the SA_100 satalite was taking.
What's that behind that space-claud?!
It's not big... it seems to be round.
Hmm... it's gone!!

All of the scientist where surprised by this edifying spectacle,
and stared to the screen with disbelieve in their eyes.
This couldn't be true. This is nuts...

After 20 minutes full of expectation, they shaked their heads
and continue their work, trying to forget what they saw.

Seven o' clock, all the NASA-people where gone. Only ONE man
did not left the room. He couldn't get the vision out of his head.
He stares at the screen.
Nothing.
You can only see darkness with some clouds and stars, far, far away.
At 03:28 the man decided to go, when suddenly the activety meter wipes
out and again... there is something. The same round shape as he remembers.
He quickly calls the NASA-staff. They arrive and they see...
A moon they didn't know. The 'Unkown Moon'.

Two years later they start with the mission to explore the moon.
The UM_2000 satalite is going on the moon for pictures.
They see the landscape. It's beautifull and ugly at the same time.
No threes, no water, no life. Just an amazing brown landscape.
At most places they see craters. But they're not just craters.
They have something weird...
Suddenly the video gets interupted. White lines all over the screen.
The landscape is gone... so is the moon. The sky turns red,
it gets warmer... warmer... and much more warmer. The satelite
melts from outside. The engine bulge, and gets so big the satalite explode.
Everything is gone...

Years and years they tried to find the unknown moon again, but...
like it dissapeared.
But at least they got the pictures...




                                  The Song

Whooh yeah! The song!
Well... it's a long song. Obviously.
But think about it... you can't explore a moon in 10 minutes huh?
No. So actually it's farken short! Yeah!
No. It's long.
For some people it's maybe TO long. And then they just stop
the song and play another. HOLD THERE!
I tried to put much variation in this song, and there's a
big change. Even so big, that orchestratal turns into soft rave!
Now you're surprised huh? Now you're gonna listen to this whole
song huh? Yeah! Thought so. :)
Let me tell ya this, I even think the LAST part is the best! Hahahaa!
AND NOW DON'T SKIP!!

This song is part of the 'Implosion' project. That's my 2nd CD,
if allright. The CD isn't ready yet at this moment, but it sure
will be someday. :) It's main theme is about space, so the songs
are a bit relaxing, and have a Vangelis/Jarre/Enigma mood.
I really hope you enjoy this song. There will follow more!

Allright, the song lost a lot of power compared to the original one
which had all 16-bit samples and most where even stereo.
And the song is a bit noisy I believe. Well that noise of course
wasn't in the original. Keep that in mind.


                                    The Samples

My favorite part. :)
Some are 8-bit, I can't deny it.
Like I said, they where all 16-bit and most even stereo, but the original
size was 16 MB, and that's too much. SO...... :)
If you want the HQ version, you can mail me, but I don't have a
fast connection, so you probably wont get it. ;)

All samples made by me, exept instrument nrs 13 and 14, which were soundfonts.
I downloaded them from a place I don't remember. (sorry :) )
Most samples are specially made for this song, so you'll hear
new sounds all the time!
(samples indicated with '(c) SaMPLeMaSTeR' are made by me)


And yes, I used some loops in this song. I know...
I useally never use loops, only to get that special 'loopy' feel.
And I wanted a loopy feel, so I made loops. And if you want to know,
yes, the loops are tracked. :)


                                  Best Played

This song is best played in Modplug Player WITH THE GAIN METER AT HALVE!!
Otherwise the sound will be distorted and we dun want that, do we?
Second option is the Modplug-Tracker. Gain doesn't matter. :)
I recommed this option.

Song is made for CD relaise so the song at the CD will be remasterd.
Reverbs, filters and all that. BUT: You have only the dry version.
So wut can ya do?
Well, if you have a SBLive! card, you're on the right way!
And you're very rich. ;)
Anyway, if you have the SBlive! then go to it's Audio HQ program.
Select 'concert hall' for reverb, reverb at 21%. (orginal at 100%)
Then go to the parameters and put this in the right order:
-5.0 db
15.76 sec
2.00
-13.1 db
21 msec
0.4 db
0 msec
0.4 db
0 msec
21.5 meters
100%
-0.13 db/m
16000 Hz
3.6 Hz
0 %
and the rest as is.

Now you have the original 'unknown moon' reverb!!!!
Maybe your parameters are somewhat different but do what you think
it's the best and you should find out. Good luck!!

XBass is also recommed.



                                  The greetingz

I hate this part... ;)
This time greetz goes to:

Mr. Bazz, Ekarez, THIGco, Acid Snake, Predator, Masenka, Basscontrol,
Vowthorn, PPH, Elwood, Mister X, Analysis, Noonoo, Rubberduck, GDream,
DJ eiki, *-modhead-*, the -DDD, Xcalibur, Methanol (good luck man!),
Ydroj, Nifflas, LPchip, Novus, DJ Auburn, all the other TAP members,
all the other Prince Town members, all the other Yomi members of course
and the one behind Yomi Records: Benefit of the Boomerang! (ehm, he is, right?)



WOW... don't tell me you've been reading this all!!
You are nuts you know! (I'm saying this in the hope nobody
is reading anymore.)

Well, take care of yourself, and.... dunno what more actually.
I hope you like the song, I had a hard time. :)
But a nice time.
Can you imagine a life without MOD's?
You know, sometimes I wonder: what happened if nobody
came up with a tracker? Then what was my favorite hobby?
I don't really like sport, so... I think I'dd bore the
shit out of me...
AAWW WELL... the tracker exist, so no sentimental words, huh? ;)


Beyzz!!
