hey folks,
about 4 months after our last release we are releasing a bmbook
again. we are getting lazy respectively have a big lack of time,
like the whole ansiscene seems to do :(

members

welcome to black weasel and junk, who will be helping out in the
ansi division. junk joined at evoke'97 and signed a lifelong
contract (err.. at least as long as dv8 does not throw away
that certain "disketten-label =), whereas black weasel applied
just the normal way.
a very huge loss for bm is the leaving of noize, who's been
turning towards the vga-medium and quit all groups beside
kolOr (a rocking german democrew). he's been germany's best
ansi artist for quite a while. good luck to you!

i (avenger) am losing a bit the interest in ansi and organization
of black maiden, so we decided to promote leonardo to the status
of senior. at the moment he's busy with studying but he will help
out with organizing and stuff.
i think he deserves it very much.

furthermore toot has taken over the role as the helping hand on
internet and foreign (not-german) members. he didn't like
the title of "foreign coordinator" that much (sounds really
bureaucratic/acid-alike =), so call him like you want :)

due to toot's work, we own our own (what a lovely sentence)
irc-channel now. since #bm seemed to be the hangout for some
warez-guys, we called it #bmaiden, located on american efnet.

welcome to osel, who owns our bot :)

you will notice that lord autopsy isn't listed anymore as bm-
member. i decided to remove him from the list, because we lost
contact and without contact to the group a courier isn't that
much worth.

the demoparty organized by kaOz&ethos9&black maiden was a huge
success. about 80 german (and even some luxemburgians - hi
blackaxe! :) sceners met and had a lot of fun.
thanks and congrats have to go out especially to poti and faxe
for working that hard for it.
there certainly will be an evoke'97.

thanks to jerusalem(boil) for his cool guest donation :)

btw: watch out for the coming boil pack. jerusalem's my
favourite german pic-artist at the moment.

last minute add-ons:

the other big german artcrew mean scheme is more or less dead.
it's a big loss for the german scene.. unfortunately they
were not able to release their last artpack.

i heard recently that junk's hiphop-project will be featured
on some german radiostation. we will keep you informed.

voice has drawn a kind of picture demo. just unzip voice97.zip
and you will understand :)

dv8 and leo were short of ansis for this pack and started a last-
minute-joint, but i couldn't get it in time and finally i wanted
to release the pack. sorry, pals. next pack, ok? :)
