---------{{{  NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MIDI   vol.1   }}}}-------

 Welcome to no.1 in an occasional compilation of kickin' MIDI files that will 
 turn up when I can be bothered to post them.
 THEY ARE ALL GENERAL MIDI (drums on Ch.10, GMIDI prog.changes etc.) and all
 the track info such as program changes, level, fx, and pan commands are
 embedded in the tracks, so for those of you who do not YET have a GMIDI 
 module/card then don't bother downloading. Don't even think about playing 
 these on some crappy 8-bit soundcard either as I have incorporated a very
 clever virus into one of the files that will detect such a device and cause
 your hard drive to rotate at speeds that will cause your computer to be 
 thrown from your desk due to the extreme centripetal forces involved  (and
 if you believe that then you'll agree that John Major's doing a good job)

 So - Eight rather nice General MIDI sound files, being thus:

 Crazy - Seal (great drummy bit in the middle)
 Jump - Van Halen (great guitar solo towards the end)
 Sleeping Satellite - Tasmin Archer (great keyboard solo from the guy who
                used to be in It Bites - best Brit rock band ever..)
 Too Much Love - Brian May (too much hair Brian. Best Acoustic guitar solo
                at the end than you're likely to get anywhere)
 Too Funky - Georgy Michaels (great Synthy sound - well on a Sound Canvas)
 Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now) - C&C Music Factory (token dance 
                track; great distorted guitar)
 It's A Sin - Pet Shop Boys (Not that good but hey! they're English!)
 The Things I Saw - Karel Fialka (from the B-side to Hey Matthew. The token
        obscure track which means it's the one people'll send me mail about
        if previous experience is anything to go by)

 So there you have them...
 All sequenced\tweaked\re-arranged\converted etc. where appropriate on a 4Meg 
 trust old Atari ST running Cubase V2.0 and a Roland SC55 Sound Canvas - the
 best GMIDI module in existence

Enjoy! Abusive E-mail etc. to zchag05@ucl.ac.uk (valid until September '95)
        Go on - write.. you know you want to. Alternatively, just let those
        waves of apathy wash over you.....

Cheers
