Title: Massage
Post by: Asle on August 03, 2011, 20:07:08
Just to note that Manwe Kindly told me that Massage is also known as DJ Mohax.
He also helps with the various Sands composers for game musics. Said games lack any details regarding which member of Sands actually made the musics :).

So, thanks  ;D

Lol, how strange, I have been going through Sands stuff from Scene Org in case something was missed back in the day, since you started uploading their tunes recently.

Was wandering who Massage was cos I had never heard of him before and just put them aside to check them out. I have a few pt mods by DJ Mohax/Psycho though.

Found a few by LAV that I take it, its Lavender?

Maniak is Rain?

I have found a load of Sands game tunes in the 3 toysongs zipfiles on Scene org.

The only other thing I've noticed about Sands releases are the times I come across files that have diferent sizes to the ones I have. Some I am having to unmo3, others just completely diferent filesizes.  If they play the same time, I'm assuming they are identical.

first, yes, LAV is Lavender ;). Maniak however, I don't know. AMP has a Polish Maniak who's obviously not the same ;) I guess that's a question we could ask to Manwe.
About the sizes issues, well, unMO3 seems to always bring up huge files, which differ greatly (size wise, again) from the "original" releases (as found in zik disks and the like). However, from what I could see, there are also some musical differences (couple of notes, another sample, etc...), but, well, nothing big ;). As such, I stick to the "DFC" tag (direct from composer) when a music is from a game but not ripped (or sent by the author) to distinguish those from the direct rip. I didn't find, yet, a 100% identical file (even when ignoring the MO3 sample size effect).

On Scene Org, in the Sands directory is a folder for Rain, including some from Maniak too in XM or IT format.

Of course, Rain/SandS is ex-Maniak/TEC.

I'll update AMP tonight.

Thanks Asle. Any chance you could ask Manwe what the TEC stands for (maniak's group acronym).

cheers
