            The Way Of The Paladin

1. Hello future listener. This is a small set of modules which share a
common theme. I guess you could call it an album but it's not, it just
seemed silly to release the modules separately when they were so short
anyway.

2. Format: All modules were composed using MusicLineEditor. As far as I know
they can be played in EaglePlayer, HippoPlayer and I think DeliPlayer will
work too. And you can of course play them with the original program.

3. Length: Most of the songs are very short but this is intentional. You're
supposed to listen to them over and over and over again until you become
stupid. It's in fact a form of meditation. (But it's also an excuse for my
not being able to write proper melodies.)

4. Age: There might be som early songs in this archive, back from the time
when I didn't know much about making music. They ususally have the chords
all messed up but I didn't want to change them later on because I was used
to the sound. Please overlook this fact.

5. Samples: Most samples are ripped. Sorry.

6. Theme: This archive contains songs in various ways inspired by fantasy.
Magic is by far the oldest module here and doesn't really share the bright
and unsophisticated sound of the others but I thought it would make a good
(albeit short) prelude.

7. Songs:   By The River Lives An Elf
            Castle In The Sky
            Crystiuz Sur La Montagne
            Dragon Quest
            Magic (Prelude)
            The Prophecy
            The Way Of The Paladin
            Uppäten Av En Fnord (=Eaten By A Fnord)
            Uppäten... Remix

8. Notes: The piece about Crystiuz refers to an interactive fiction novel
that I began writing but never finished. It would have been an extension of
the old Zork theme, combining fantasy and science-fiction to create an
amazing underground realm lit up by the Crystal Heaven. I only ever wrote
the opening in which Crystiuz remembers the last day of his childhood, the
day before the war.
   There are some lyrics here and there, I might include them in the archive
later. The song about the elf has four clever verses and the same goes for
the Fnord song although they are in Swedish.
