                        |THE 1996 DEMOMUSIC AWARDS|
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



 How does it work ?
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Among all those tracks we have downloaded, or those you have
submitted/signaled, we are going to point out our MONTHLY NOMINATIONS (max.
10 songs per month). All tracks will be downloadable from this page so you
can hear them before the voting session opens. In the month of DECEMBER
1996 our voting forms will be activated so you all can express your
preferences and nominate the best track for each cathegory (example: Best
dance tune, Best ballad, Best funky tune, and so on...) Everytime a track
is nominated for the CBR 1996 Demomusic Awards we will mail the author to
give him the chance to include the NOMINATION GIF in his homepage. So keep
an open eye man... one of your tunes could be the winning one!
HUH... one last thing: WE ARE NOT TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION ANY TRACK FROM
OUR OWN GROUP! (so you'll have some chance to win! buahahahahah!!!!)


 Why are we doing it ?
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Mostly there are two reasons...
1- For phun
2- Because many ppl agree on the fact that there seems to be one only GOD
judging all little tracker's deeds, named DEMONEWS.
We are NOT saying that the guys at DEMONEWS are not able to judge (we all
appreciate their efforts and pay them full respect) but we have the
impression that reviewing tons and tons of mods each week sometimes leads
to unfair or excessive ratings.
So we are giving a try with this award, in order to take out of the shadow
all those tracks that for an undefined reason are being ignored or
underextimated!
Please don't judge what we are doing: simply log out (if you think this
suxx) or download the tracks below in order to express an open-eyed vote in
the voting session of december 1996.


 How can you support DMA ?
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It's simple... VOTE!!!
And if you think we deserve it add an ICON/LINK on your page (we surely
promise a back-link to yours in the SUPPORTERS page when you mail us back
saying we are linked!), spread the word, point out or SUBMIT the nicest
tracks...


 Why should you support DMA ?
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well... we leave the answer to your sense of cooperation and tribal unity.
Besides in downloading the tracks you will be sure you transferred
state-of-the-art modules on your greedy harddisk!


                        THESE ARE THE 1996 DMA NOMINATIONS SO FAR...
