Release id #13225 : Microloops
Afaik there was also a Microloops II and III, but I can't seem to find a trace of it on the net. Anyone have it and would like to add it? |

It was CMP's intention to never let it surface here, but on the other hand - there was some time since those two was released. I shall see if I can locate them. |

Well, the tunes are in HVSC anyway, so why not also add them here. Thanks 2F. |

Both Microloops II and III are uploaded at Antidote by the author CMP. Antidote is reachable at antidote.hopto.org, either by using CGTerm as an emu or through the CCGMS-clone GuruTerm, working under RRnet, on the real deal. |

Hey hey hey, it's a new kind of elitism: "my warez are too good for csdb, the masses don't deserve them!" |

Well, I would not be surprised if such a movement actually would arise. At CSDb or C64.sk, only the newest stuff seems to get any notice. A good demo, released at the wrong time in the warezflow can easily dissapear without almost noone noticing, pushed out of the last fifty releases by cracks from Crypt, a new game from Richard, re-releases of the Crypt-cracks with HEMA+Urine intros ontop of them or just some random tunes with uninspired players. Or why not a new quantizer for converting PC images to strange interlaced C64-formats? Heck, just since the last release of NSR, I bet I can pick out atleast five such demos.
I believe CMP's intention was to let people discover his two music-collections through the channels he chose to distribute them through. If you want to listen to the music, it is readily available through HVSC, as mentioned earlier. |

Some elitism can be healthy :-)
(and it is not that Taper is THAT hard in giving out access to his board) |

If you want to govern csdb by stupid politics, elitism is just what we need. Bring out the flags! |

If we want..? The CSDB IS governed by stupid politics, elitism and cliqueism of the worst sort. it's like watching twenty grown men playing "king of the hill" on an ant mound.
I've learned to live with it and love it. You should too. ;)

I am living with it, that's for sure ;).. And I do not disagree in the CSDb mechanisms as they are. I like it a lot here, and am merely stating my view on the subject of elitism of releases. I do not think that some releases are more valid than others, just because the majority of the "kings of the hill" as you so nicely put it, think so. I believe that there should be room here for everybody - expirienced or not, elite or not. I enjoy these small graphics or music or basic or whatever productions that are released that show peoples creativity. I even enjoy the way commenting works - even though harshness and elitism is expressed heavily in those. Don't presume that I cannot live with it, accept the fact that I, as you, use my right to express my thoughts - and be assured that I respect what other people write here, even though I might disagree. |

It's called supply and demand.. there is so low ammount of good releases lately that editing of current general news isn't that tight. If there was 100-200 news a month there would be a demand to differentiate between them. If we have 1-3 news per day and 1 good release a week, I really wonder how can anyone miss anything. Also there are other things like latest downloads, comments, forums, even disk magazines where anyone can bring interest to valuable release. As far as Richard, Crypt, HEMA+Urina are concerned, who is responsible that their stuff is so prominent? Not sites like c64.sk or CSDB. I can decide to block WDR, or crackers of today's games, but I can't disallow someone who actually *does* something to have his 5 minutes of fame. Especially because he is one click away from adding of the news and learned to use that function for his own good. Everyone who complaints should start to sweep around his place and do something.
Purpose of c64.sk is to give creative scener a way to spread his stuff and eventually give others one place where to look for new stuff and other kind of more-or-less strictly c64 scene related things. It's face is shaped according to how scene behaves. If we are lazy, the c64 news will have more news about things that aren't directly connected to creative c64 scene.
As for CMP chosing other channels to spread his stuff. I don't know what was behind his decision, but I'm not against it. If it eventually hits the "internet" as something fresh it will sooner or later get into news and scene database anyway. If someone *puts it there*, that is, because CSDB and C64.sk are open sites.. anyone can add stuff. In case of c64.sk you don't even have to get your account, you're just one click away from around 700 unique visitors a day. I'm sure that at least 51% of of them are desperately looking for some new fresh art to check ;-)
