10/26/04 - A Word for Avien
I'd like to recognize one of our artists who helped with this project, Avien (Christopher Powell), because I was informed recently that he passed away. Excerpt from www.legacy.com:
"Mr. Powell, 18, of 4520 Artdale Rd., Concord, died Friday, September 10, 2004 at NorthEast Medical Center. He was born July 7, 1986 in Alexandria, VA.
...An avid musician, Chris played alto sax with The Pride of Robinson Marching Band from 2001 to 2004."
Although I only talked to Avien a few times while working on RotC and didn't know him too well, I definitely recognized his skill in music. His track 13 "Noumenon" (Maridia2 Theme) was a great addition to this project. Thank you for being a part of Relics of the Chozo, Chris.
4/3/04 - Update: RotC Wave CD Album Torrent back online!
So like, sorry for the downtime. It was suprnova.org's fault. Anyway, now I'm perminently hosted on https://bt.ocremix.org, so no more downtime. Now you can all get back to enjoying the cd in 44khz 16bit goodness!

11/28/03 - How to get rid of ogg vorbis playback static in winamp!!!
So, I was just screwing around with vorbis settings on winamp (the ogg player that sometimes creates static on certain songs dispite my sincerest efforts) and discovered something.
If you turn off 16bit Dithering on the decoder, the static goes away.
I knew I didn't mess it up in the encode! Stupid winamp has defaults for its vorbis decoder that messes Vast Inner Depths Of Brinstar (Brinstar2)up.
Infact, it messes up a lot of songs with similar chorus like this song. Example:
Matrix Reloaded 2-06-Juno Reactor vs. Don Davis - Burly Brawl.ogg.
So, for all of you who are experiencing static on the oggs played in winamp, disable dithering!
Enjoy!
11/14/03 - Full Wave format of RotC is now available
via bittorrent!
I finally got around to uploading the
torrent file of the Full CD of RotC in wave format.
Get it here.
Learn about bittorrent here.
I will stay on and seed the album. If
anyone wants to help seed, its easy! When you're done
downloading, simply leave the file intact (SMProject
- Relics of the Chozo CD.rar) and leave the torrent
client running. It will continue to upload once the
final download is finished. During this time you can
still extract all waves/ burn to cd, whatever you want
:) All help with the seeding is very appreciated.
Sorry for taking so long with this; I
wanted to make an ISO file available instead of just
straight wave files to make it easier to burn, but apparently
its near impossible to make an iso format that all burners
like these days, so whatever. Heres the waves.
Enjoy!

- Just a little update. I finally got around to uploading
Rob Saunders' great RotC CD Covers. Get them
here:
For
Nero
For
EZCD
Heres some information
on his cd covers.
Also, courtesy of Rob
Saunders is a cool site link you all can feel free
to use to link here. Apparently it is more in accordance
with the 'official site link dimentions' or whatever:

9/16/03
- Created this handy button link for you link-addicts
out there:
and 
9/12/03
- Relics of the Chozo is officially out. Thanks to dave
for the awesome spotlight! Thanks to everyone involved
who made it possible. Thanks to SuperMetroid for being
so frigin kick ass. Enjoy.
9/8/03 -
UPDATE - Remastered version of Relics of the Chozo is
done and online. I did this because some people were
hearing static in the encodes. There should be no static
anymore. No major changes were done on the ST itself,
but I did master the second to last track a bit more.
I promise this is the last/final version of ROTC and
I wont be changing anything else. You don't really need
to download the latest version unless the minor static
heard on the older version bothered you. Enjoy!
8/30/03
- Website is more or less done at this point. I have
yet to impliment the bittorrent system, but when I do,
that section will be filled out as well. In the mean
time, pick up your copy.
8/28/03
- ROTC IS FINALLY DONE!! There are a few tidbits that
might yet be fixed, but nothing serious. For the most
part, this is the final version, so get it now! Note:
This website is still under construction and may be
for some time.
8/14/03
- I finished the main layout of the RotC Website. Now
to finish the damn album... Everything is going great
so far. I went over to Dan Baranowsky's house today
and picked up the last 3 songs for the soundtrack. He
made the most awesome ending to top this thing off.
I'm pretty damned excited.
8/13/03
- I talked with Dave and he agreed to use 'smproject.ocremix.org'
as a sub domain routed to my server. I believe this
is ideal as it provides the flexibility the project
needs in the event that my University server address
is to change.
8/13/03
- After some discussion a few of us decided that 'Relics
of the Chozo' is a good title for the album, so we're
going with it.
