Hi there, Nuke's on the keyboard.

Just wanted to add a couple of comments regarding the MODs you find in
this month's OPTiK packet.

Most of them have a  hard  sound.  They're tough, fast and aggressive.
There are  lot  of  sampled  hammers,  beeps,  machinery, industrial
sounds. That's the word for 'em, INDUSTRIAL.

Infact they're the music which made  up  the  last concert of my group
(the name is "Madonne Cromate").  We  do  a  mixture of electronic and
analog music, with influences  coming  from  funk, tribal and hardcore
music. The group is made up by me (I play the MODs, an analog keyboard
and a Baseline), my  friend  Maze  (live  playing  some  samples on an
Amiga), Jelly (on the  electric  guitar),  Reaper (on some addictional
percussions), Mindline ( scratching and destroying some records during
the concerts), and Pordens (taking care of some special FX).

Hope you enjoy this kind  of  music.  It  surely beats all the Techno-
commercial-shit that I've been haring  on  the  radio lately. I really
can't see the reason for it having this great audience.

Anyway, enjoy the music, and don't forget  to  take a look at the rest
of the packet, also.

See ya next month,
        Nuke
