- What's this
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- "Downbeat" is the second musicdisk following "Digital Domination", Union's
- first musicidisk. This is a compilation of tracked music from various
- composers. It's multi-group, meaning that most of the songs aren't from Union
- members. The Union members involved with this disk are: Ded Silence, Future
- Assassin, Nova, Lord Pegasus and I (Populus). I hope you will like this
- 'revival' musicdisk which once again confirms Union's strong place in the
- scene.
-
- A third disk is on the way. I can't confirm any dates, but it will be
- probably in two months (hopefully). It will include more music from Union
- members, since we are accepting new musicians among us. Mail me at:
- populus@direktor.voima.jkl.fi for more info, or reach us on own IRC channel
- #union.
-
- But I (Populus) is releasing very soon a solo disk titled "Earthfall" which
- will include some tunes that were either left out or new ones.
-
- Credits go out to The Specialist aka Pierre-Philippe Stevens who coded the
- whole thing in read-mode assembler, except for the music player which is
- Midas Sound System .40a. This is his first world-wide release on the
- Internet and debut code for Union. Also, thanks to Quisling for the superb
- "Downbeat" logo used in the flash scrolling. I (Populus) did the interface
- (nothing to get exited about) and the jungle style Union logo. And of cource
- all of the musicians that agreed to chip in and help us out make this a
- quality product. My thanks to all of you.

- Known Bugs
- ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
-
- Unfortunatly, some bugs still exist in the player. Mostly with the mouse
- and some SVGA cards. Then you'll have to miss out on the powerful hi-res
- interface with comes with "Downbeat" and you'll have to use your own player.
- We recommend using Cubic Player 1.4 or Scream Tracker 3.21.
