SONIC EQUINOX PRESENTS :

What is very likely
our LAST music disk (0124)

OKAY, so, Sonic Equinox completely fell
off the map in the summer of 1997.  You
probably don't need us to spell it out
for you... a quarter century went by.
Damn!  We got old!!!  (Or at least: we
grew up.  Fortunately, we can still be
very immature.)

Everyone moved on.  OK: ALMOST everyone
moved on.  All right: everyone moved on
with the exception of one superfan who
maintained a private archive of related
files for literally decades.  Damn!
That Cthulu did it again!
(* Also lots from Onyx's private stash
on The Crimson Helm.)

That vintage computer art maniac just
couldn't leave well enough alone...
knowing that he had sole custody of the
only remaining extant copies of these
files kept him awake at night.  (You
know what a sane person would have done
at this point, Cthulu?  DELETED THEM!!)

Since prior to the establishment of
Mistigris (an important measuring stick
for Cthu) the Sonic Equinox would-be
demogroup had been mounting unfinished
campaigns to cook up the loaders that
would rock the scene.  When the efforts
petered out for one reason or another,
they left the unreleased assets by the
roadside, uncollected, and continued
moving forward.  So the only way you
could have ever heard most of the
included tracks would be if you'd been
calling internal Sonic Equinox BBSes
and stashing away the prospective tunes
... seven and a half hours of them!
Releasing this trove of forgotten songs
QUINTUPLES the amount of Sonic Equinox
music in circulation!

I speak of Sonic Equinox as the musical
cadre of computer enthusiasts who
released music disks from 1995-1997,
and indeed there were many in their
sphere, but primarily I'm describing
the maniacal output of a single tracker
seemingly chained to his computer seat,
the man formerly known as NinjaDude of
Happy Fetus Records and later as
Obsidian Zero.  Others make important
contributions here, such as Freaq, Eto,
Beyond Inertia, Lethal Impact, Zinc,
Esquire and Dark Avatar... but let's
be honest, 175 of the 196 songs here
are by Onyx.  This is 89% his cake,
everyone else is just icing it.

We also fold in nine of his turn-of-the
-century high resolution anime screens
that were left behind in MIST2000, as
well as the demo, engine and assets for
Sonic Equinox's untitled, unreleased
~1996 "Fishy game".

Today Joseph "Ozero.ca" Picard writes
ebooks, Freaq performs music as Alias
Corpus, and Eto still updates PabloDraw
once in a while.

PS: the Sonic Equinox application
generator is included just for fun.
PLEASE don't try calling Entrance to
Obscurity to upload your app!
