ok good news, i just got off the phone with jeff(now geoff) rothman. it was a nice time catching up and getting my memory jogged+setting the record straight. he mentioned not having anything to do with the alternate prism music other than enjoying listening to it (and sharing the stuff w other users on various bbs's).  let me know if there's anything else to be done here?  thanks again for all your help on this!

I'm inclined to go in the direction of creating a 3rd A.Prism that has no group membership and that would get the 8 listed musics without source.
I'll wait for more feedback from either of you before going forward with the change.
And yes, that would mean the Epinicion guy would remain without music.

just now seeing your response asle. for some reason, it wasn't available when i logged in here and posted yesterday. thanks for doing the researches!! super useful. hopefully i can get a response from jeff rothman to find out how his emails became associated with my songs so long ago and we can clear the records all around.

was able to get a friendly conversation going with jeff(geoff) rothman via facebook. he remembered me, stating how i used to be super into make mods. asked him if he and i ever collaborated or if he ever remixed any of my old songs. haven't heard back on that, but hoping he's able to set the record straight for us here.

Hello,

I did a little information gathering. Here's my findings, so far.

Island Of Reil and Alternate Prism don't look like the same author and should be split here. They are listed as members at the same time in Epinicion listings
Few productions from Epinicion are available today and I guess they are all here : https://demozoo.org/groups/30711/

To sum up :
Island of Reil
Listed in Epinicion in 1994-Oct -> 1996-Mar
sysop of Timescape BBS (619 - San Diego area ?) in 1994-Oct -> 1995-Mar
[email protected] - 1994-Dec -> 1995-Mar
[email protected] - 1995-Jun -> 1996-Mar

Alternate Prism
First listing in Epinicion is 1995-Mar -> 1996-Mar
[email protected] - 1995-Mar -> 1996-Mar


4 musics listed here have sources:
Afrochip! is a NAID 95 entry. by IOR.
Cadencia comes from Timeline PC musicdisk (1995). by IOR
DAC '95 comes from Timeline PC musicdisk (1995). by IOR
Samba comes from Timeline PC musicdisk (1995). by IOR

We haven't marked any source for the other musics.
(C)olor (O)f (R)ave - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
Diamond Eyes - sample text says : A.Prism
DreamerDream - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
East Wind Stream - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
Free Spirit - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
Into The Vortex - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
Judgement Day - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])
Rave To Xtremes - sample text says : A.Prism ([email protected])


Those listing/infos up there are facts. Please, complete at will with anything for which I have no source. I'm inclined to go in the direction of creating a 3rd A.Prism that has no group membership and that would get the 8 listed musics without source.
I'll wait for more feedback from either of you before going forward with the change.
And yes, that would mean the Epinicion guy would remain without music.

Cheers

thank you for attaching those! your 2014 ones are, byte for byte(winmerge), exactly as the ones at modland and here at amp. your eternal/fantasia are exact to modland. i did find that across all versions: diamond eyes.mtm is exact to my original: does not have any rothman contact inside.

That might be because back in 2004 or 2005 I sent 4xDVDs to Coma containing well over 80000 mods for Modland. You can usually tell which ones are probably added by me, renamed filenames...  Maybe I did send them, but for some reason I must have downloaded them again, maybe one of those moments where I deleted some stuff by mistake or something.

It's strange, if this was someone passing off your mods as there own, weird they only add the lunatix email address and use your nickname

yep it's odd. my experience with this kind of thing, they at least change the artist name and or song title. my theory is that since i was using rothman's bbs account, they-whoever grabbed the emails from there. them removing my home address from fantasia red replacing w the rothman email, that makes sense i was a pretty naive kid to have put a home address in there. still, diamond eyes does not have any contact whatsoever.. maybe whoever was trying to link these mtms to epinicion w rothman's email, way back whenever, was just in a hurry.

hoping to hear back from rothman at some point... looking at his fb page: happy marriage w 2 kids, super christian, project manager job, doesn't appear to do anything w music... hunch he'll most likely tell me he had nothing to do w composing these songs or have anything to do w alternate prism.

I think you should try this one: https://mac.eltima.com/aac-player.html

I never had any issues with this player

OK, just had a poke around Modland and found the same .mtm files there and they were added in 2005 possibly.

I think I might have ripped these from some MD-Dos musicdisk tbh. The ripping program I use tends to save all files in the .exe or a .dat file like that.

It's strange, if this was someone passing off your mods as there own, weird they only add the lunatix email address and use your nickname, but unfortunately it's probably not the first time that's been done. Let us know if these mods are the same as your versions and not someone using your mod & samples to make a different tune? and leave no credit in the mod for reference, also quite common as well.

I'd doubt Epinicion would change the credits unless they made the mistake of mis-crediting them for whatever reasons, but I doubt deliberately.

It's a weird one for sure!
