Master's Noise by M&K
---------------------


I really do not know where to start with this crazy musicdisk. Since it is nearly impossible to tell you all passwords, hidden parts etc. I will simply kick off with the credits: Music by: Mahoney, Ziphoid, Panda, Gluemaster, Xerxes, Mantronix, Obarski, Neuman, Zeb, Yogi, Tsaca, Watchman, Donald, Flex, Nizze, Monopoly, H.I.V., Candyman, Maggot, Guts and Duke. Phew, all in all there worked around 21 (!) musicians. On the two disks are included 101 songs and the whole playtime of the musicdisks comes around 4 hours, when I was good enough at mathematics. The graphics have been painted by UNO of Scoopex and Mahoney. The code has been done by Mahoney & Kaktus. But now some words to the music itself. I think that Ziphoid did the most wonderful songs like "Poet's Rhyme" for example. He used very nice, smooth samples to give it the right atmosphere. The melodies are very intensiv and nicely arranged. Other musicians have also rewritten some old goldies of the old Amigascene. A very large plate of styles is offered as well. From Disco to Folk, from Blues to Slow Rock. The result (over one year of hard work) is surely one of the best in 1991. The code is absolutely outstanding since there are so many things on the same time to watch to. An important thing for every musicdisk is the playing while loading routine and the "keep-two-in-memory" option. GREAT! Also fantastic is the reset part coded by Kaktus. You can move a line on a ball which runs in one frame and at a hell of a speed. The effect of it is really cool. But it's so hard to describe that you better get it in your hands as fast as possible. (Also look for the interview with Mahoney, Kaktus' lifestory and some details about the hidden jokes and parts in the News-secion in this issue!) Here come your ratings you crazy guys:…

Music:      75%
Code:       90%
Gfx:        85%
