Introduction    Well here we are. Flange Pack two which i though would never happen but we will continue to bring you quality music and art from the digital realms. The music pack two will be released soon and there is quite a bit of original and really decent material from most of the group, with a fair bit of variety. I apologise to those of you who missed The Drain BBS in its absence,. All proboard, pcboard and an iniquity versions of the drain were lost and most hope of the resurection of the drain, but thanks to the kindness of mates, the drain is back and recouperating nicely in remote access thanks to Ibanez donating his old remote access setup to the cause..  Sit back and enjoy the pack.  2. History    The Flange History book comprises of one artpack which was given a review fit for a documentry on Hitlers sex life. (all critisism is taken constructivly) And one music pack which no-one seems to be aware of but still. We are making  our own history better by making the present more important than just before.  -figure that out. 3.

Comments here in oneliners or here and there. People just have to take it futher though. Flange is a new group and over the last month mr.d and I have experienced  pretty much a kick in the face by many artists and organizers of other groups  who are simply scared of the new competition. Now, do you think kicking the shitout of every new group will make the digital scene in vic\oz stronger. I don't think so. Everybody wonders why the OZ scene is crashing in a huge heap and  there is no consistancy anymore. Why the  do you think?! Its because of thiscrap. I see the scene as a thing where people argue, pull eachother down, wreck groups, and try there absolute best trying to catch people for ripping while  doing a  all minimum of art on the side. I simply do art and music because i like it and i'd like to have people see it. I want to walk to my pc oneday anddo some consistant art and not have a soul pull me down.  The kick up the arse by the general people of the scene and the total lazyness  of some members in the way of communnication and simply doing art or music  almost caused me to say goodbye to Flange and almost say "to  with the sceneits going nowhere!". I told mr.d i wanted to end flange and he bounced back withan inspirational talk and offered to put more of a hand in organizing this pack.So, I now have a different attitude and i will press on regardless of what the arrogant have to say and we will release one quality pack after another in  music and art until we gain the respect that we deserve. We will no longer urge people to join us and rather take it easy on that area. We don't need people to join. If you would like to add to the group then good onyou and people will join the group on these conditions. 1. Consistant QUALITY work is entered into all packs. 2. The member is prepared to drop all their other groups. More ing good art and superior music tracks to come from FLANGE. You can push us down but all we get is a slightly flatter haircut. THANK YOU  6. Distro Sites    Bbs Number Sysop WHQthe drain9873-5513Mr.D illusion9873-5150iBANEz  7.
