Well, could you make a WordPro for MSX that could use truetype fonts, amigo? ;) X-DDD Seriously, almost anything could be useful. >>>At the last Zandvoort fair, I sold about 12 copies of PURE, >>To be honest, Techno isn't the most valued genre between >>Moonsound fans.

Lack of ambition? Because there isn't any technique widely spread on MSX? Musicians are used to write the music they invent. As far as I remind good musicians in MSX are so by making what I call 'fantasy' musics or covers from MSX (mainly Konami) hits. And, to be honest, it doesn't seem to me that MSX musicians like to cultivate styles farther than those of their own. Although FM and MusMod don't allow great musical 'delicatessens', for instance, I remind a Genic PictureDisk #9 in which there was a demo from Mi-Chi with a nice cover from 'Hotel California'. Also, on Ruby and Jade (Aurora) the soundtrack remembers me somewhat like Latin Jazz. Surely, as usual on MSX, I think limitation is on the willingness rather than on the technical possibilities of ICs. Dance and Spaghetti-Disco (now named Italo) could suit nice on Moonsound. But also there should have been experiments in any musical style: let it be rock, salsa, rumba, pop, beat, new age, funky... Why not? Why just techno, trance, house, and few dance tunes? However, there is a GREAT (and succesful!) experiment for Moonsound called Alto, which was developed by Near Dark a year ago or so. It consisted in some 'doom' (it is a music style) musics from groups such as The Gathering and Amorphis, mainly. The musical result was quite good. The matter are electric guitars. At Moonsound they are nice, but not great. I'd like to see an Alto 2 with 'Surfing with the alien' (Joe Satriani) or Thunderstruck (AC/DC), for example. :) CYA -------------------------------------------------------------------- Get EuroLinked!!!
