----------------------
First of all, greetz:
(In no particular
order): A98, SLH,
Ralesk, Komsip, Beat-
Source, Psychic Mind,
Awesome, Renx,
Warhawk, Stary, Cyker,
Ivory, Fermus, Whiz,
D-Fast, FDA, LCM,
Einen Duck (You know
who you are!), Dream-
Section, Idaho, Zepsi,
Littlelk, and Everyone
Else I Forgot!

This tune was
originally intended to
be a (winning?) entry
in the Merregnon
Compo, Nov 2000.
As you can see,
development was
severely protracted,
resulting in this tune
which took epic
perseverence to
write.
Perhaps not my best
style or work, I feel
that this has fallen
somewhat short of
what I hoped, but
this maybe due to
my tracking career
(All 3 years and 12
measly releases) being
in its twilight.

I hope to release at
least another tune of
some form or other
I hang up my mouse,
but then; tracking
is an endless voyage,
every author striving
to better themselves
and others, to hell
with inspiration.

I hope you enjoy this
tune in the same way
that I found it VERY
hard to write it -most
definitely not
a style for the
beginner!

Thanks again to all
you trackers and
trance-heads on TiS,
I couldn't have done
this without you.

between two
eternities" - Stephen
Coonts

Last Words:

"Hopefully in the
(near?) future I can
write a better, fuller
track than this
protracted job.
I'll be returning to
more carefree tracking
for a while, maybe,
before coming back
to this wonderful
genre. Then again I
might dive right in.
Time will tell.
Don't take this as
my last word - far
from it. Maybe when
IT3 comes out, I can
really kick some major
arse..."
