PUBLIC HOUSE

After a break last month to make room for the Soundtracker instructions, Public House returns with a vengeance. And a couple of demos. But no Brit special. Hee hee hee!

Look, it's not my fault. Okay, a couple of Brit PD libraries have sent in lists of programs, but to date only one has actually sent a sample tape. Tsk. Erm... so I guess I'll have to dive back to my pile of PD from across the waters. (Sounds of someone diving back into his pile of PD from across the waters.) A-ha! A couple of demos from The Mad Guys and Pentagram, plus a new group called SSC. They'll do nicely.

By the way, you'll notice I'm now giving demos a certificate rating as well as a score. If the demo contains bad language or objectionable sentiments. I'll give it a 'Naughty' rating. Better safe than sorry, eh?

The original Soundtracker demo (apparently programmer BZYK released this demo at the same time as his music prog), this is a collection of songs with a surprisingly lively front end. There are five songs, each with a different(ish) graphic demo. Lots of pulsing keyboards and sine-wave scrollies cleverly laid over music staves are the order of the day, along with a nice soup and some crackers, although these culinary items are not integrated with the demo. (Oh dear. Ed) Mindlessly pleasant - following the wibbly scrolly is a bit like watching those strange goldfish videos.
