ARTSTATE ON YOUR SCREEN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2021 AND THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE FIRST ARTSTATE RELEASE FOR THE AMIGA, AS ALL MY RECENT RELEASES ON IT HAVE BEEN UNDER THE GROUP NAME OF DENSITY DESIGN. I BET THIS HAS CAUSED SOME CONFUSION! DON'T WORRY, THERE WILL BE MORE OF THAT, I CAN ASSURE YOU.   OH, BEFORE ANYONE ASKS, WHY IS THIS XMAS MIX RELEASED IN JANUARY?  WELL, TECHNICALLY TODAY IS 12TH NIGHT, THE LAST NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS. IF YOU DISPUTE THIS, TAKE HEED, MY LEGAL TEAM WILL BE DELIGHTED TO REMOVE FUNDS FROM YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS OR BITCOIN STASH.   CREDITS GO TO:  MOTION FOR CODE AND GRAPHICS AND THIS MEAN MIX BY ADKD.  NOW FOR THAT IMPORTANT PART OF ANY SCROLL TEXT, THE GREETINGS AND MESSAGES.....  I'LL HAND YOU OVER TO THE 'MIX MASTER'.  ADKD HERE, WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR! FIRST OFF, SPECIAL ACCOLADES TO MOTION FOR AWESOME DILLIGENCE IN GETTING THE TRACK YOU ARE NOW HEARING, TO PLAY CORRECTLY (SOME TROUBLE WITH THE REPLAYER CODE TO PLAY IT PROPERLY WHEN SPEED CHANGES)... APART FROM THAT, I HOPE YOU LIKE OUR PROD AND PLEASE STAY TUNED, HOPEFULLY I'LL BE ABLE TO PRODUCE GRADUALLY BETTER MUSIC IN THE 4-CHANNEL AMIGA MOD STYLE. IT'S A NICE CHALLENGE TO TRY AND MAKE GOOD SOUNDING AMIGA MODS (AND I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN IN THAT REGARD FOR SURE), AND GREAT RESPECT TO THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO PRODUCE SUBLIME SOUNDING PROTRACKER MODS (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. :)... TIME TO SAY HI TO SOME GR8 PEOPLE... GREETINGS TO ENK (HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON M8!), UTZ (LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR BINTRACKER!), MPXVM (KEEP UP THE GOOD BEATS MAN!), THE CREW AT MODARCHIVE.ORG (THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT SITE!), AND TO MOTION OFCOURSE (THANKS FOR YOUR QUALITY PRODUCTIVENESS!). IT IS JANUARY 5TH, 2021 AND I'M CURRENTLY SITTING IN A HOUSE LOCATED IN BERGEN, NORWAY, WHERE WE HAVE NOW REACHED ABOUT MINUS 4 DEGREES... TIME TO GO OUT... THANKS FOR READING AND AGAIN, BEST WISHES FOR 2021! :)   HE'S SUCH A CHARMER, EH?  WELL, HE GOT ME TO CODE THIS DIDN'T HE? THANKS TO HIM, I HAVE ENCOUNTERED MY FIRST CASE OF 'MOUSE FINGER', THE UNPLEASANT SENSATION OF DISCOMFORT IN MY RIGHT MOUSE DIGIT.   AS ADKD MENTIONED, I HAD SOME GRIEF WITH VARIOUS REPLAYERS, TRYING TO GET THE TRACK TO PLAY CORRECTLY WITH SPEED CHANGES. AFTER MUCH FAFFING ABOUT AND PROFANITY THE BATTLE WAS WON. I OPTED TO USE THE CIA REPLAY FOR PROTRACKER 2.3D, WHICH BY AMAZING COINCIDENCE, WAS EXACTLY WHAT THE TUNE HAD BEEN EDITED IN, ONLY ON SOME INFERIOR OS, THAT I DARE NOT MENTION HERE. REMEMBER FOLKS, AMIGA OS AND LINUX ARE YOUR TRUE FRIENDS. DO NOT SUBMIT TO TYRANNY! OK, IT'S TIME FOR MY GREETINGS.....  4-MAT, 4PLAY OF RESISTANCE (THANKS FOR THE EMAILS!)
