             - classic touched soothing melodic ambient -
                (OSS, 12 channels, 117 bpm, 4:28 mins)

     Yet another one of those long unfinished tracks. I had those
  chords. I loved them. And I didn't know what to do with them. The
      first attempt was a really boring Aphex Twin style minimal
   ambient track, repeating those chords over and over. The second
  attempt combined a piano intro and outro with a shortened version
 of the first attempt. I listened to it a couple of times and almost
    deleted the whole thing, if those chords weren't so damn nice.

    After about half a year or so I finally picked the project up
  again, and who knows what happened, all of a sudden the muse gave
    me a big hug and a friendly kiss, and it went very smooth from
      that moment on. The result you're about to hear now is the
    product of only a couple of days, plus the usual "naaah, lets
     wait a bit, listen to it again, do some polishing" delay. :)

   And yes, I rrreally like it. Actually, with "Wings in the wind",
     "Stillpoint" and now this one, I have the feeling that those
  songs are the best I ever did (as usual :-) - all of my work from
    the past did not leave me with the high degree of satisfaction
                         that I achieved now.

               "Sweet Sister, I hope you feel it too!"

   This one is using OSS' echo function (cross-echo) at its maximum
    echo rate of 50%; my personal opinion is that you can't really
      use this echo rate except when doing ambient - it eats the
   precision and sharpness of especially the drums, and there's no
  drums in this track, thats why I dared to use the high echo rate.

   What can I say, enjoy the track, I played it so many times while
  working on the different versions of it, and I still like it, and
                  that actually means something! :)

    Please use the 14bit mixing routines of your OSS player with a
   high mixing frequency, and other than that, give it time enough,
   play it entirely, it has some of those moments you just wouldn't
  want to miss if you like that sort of music. I just hope that the
    song catches you as much as it catched me while working on it.

   PC users: rename the file to "Mute Lands.med" and you can replay
    it with WinAmp using the Med plugin! (this name convention is
    crap - as is the suffix based file recognition of WinAmp - as
     there's at least three different "med" formats. The precise
  suffices for those would be ".MMD0" or ".med", ".MMD1" or ".omed"
                        and ".MMD2" or ".oss")

   To DJ Nick (nice tunes), all in 1oo%, the trusty usership of my
    BBS, Digiman, Morten "your bassdrum is too weak" Osted, Frank
     "Curt Cool" Larsen, Razfaz (finish your songs!), maz, mr.E,
  "flat.black" Chris, Ghandy, Exon, Sven "Basic Implant" Toxic, and
      to the lot of other friendly peeps around me for providing
      motivation & athmosphere, especially those who sent email
     feedback, giving proof to me that I do have an audience out
                              there! :)

  As usual, feedback is highly appreciated, just drop me a line via
      email, neurodancer@gmx.de is the address, don't hesitate.

  Below some nice comments I received after the release of the past
   couple of modules... thanks a lot for that huge magic potion of
                  motivation, you know who you are:

   `` I just want to comment on the "Wings in the Wind" module you
    composed. I just heard it and, well I love it. I lie, I didn't
     /just/ hear it. I heard it 5 times in the space of one hour.
    [...] your module certainly digs it's hooks into you with all
         those ethnic instruments and the pace. Well done. ''

                                 --

   `` BTW, I love your music. I download a lot of mods from Aminet,
   and end up deleting most of them. But I'm glad to have wandered
     into the mods/neuro section [...]. Thank you, [...] for some
 GREAT music. Can't wait to delve into your stash there at Aminet. ''

                                 --

   `` Just been listening to some trax of yours, I happen to think
    they're real neat! The one I got playing right now is Wings in
  the Wind. It's really cool, I always did like ethno type stuff. ''

                                 --

    `` I just downloaded your nifty "Stillpoint" oss mod. [...] I
    play it on my AD516 using Kenny Nilson's AHI utility. For an 8
       bit mod it sounds pretty good! Keep up the good work! ''

                                 --

      `` I've been in the Amiga World since 1989, and I've never
     listened to such great musics! For me, they are the best by
   quality, originality and technique! (I haven't stopped listening
     [...] since last week!!! And your long time of work (several
   months!) has given this excellent result. What perseverance! ''

                                 --

               And hail to all true trackers out there!
