Editorial

From The Editor

Thanks for your patience, once again, with the release of this issue. We've experienced some time-shortage problems as well as some technical problems (our Web server gave us about a week to move our site to a new location!). I am happy to say I am now graduating from University and will be able to devote more time to Tracks of Creation. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this issue - show your support for TOC by sending us e-mail! Your reward is our undying gratitude as well as the possibility of winning free stuff! Remember, you readers out there keep us going! Last issue we have out dozens of copies of Century Media's compilation CD, "The Dark We Feel," so keep writing to us!

Tracks Of Creation has moved to a new server,

http://disemia.com/creation/

Please update any links you have, and if you don't have a link to us please consider adding one. We'd like to thank Spots Interconnect for their prompt assistance providing us with new server space. If you know people who are still using the old address, then please tell them about the new address. Email can be sent to Borcek@disemia.com.

From The Producer

For several reasons we couldn't get the issue out on time, thank you to those of you that actually noticed. We had to relocate servers, please update any links you have, and our editor was busy learning how to fly (yes, that is an inside joke and I don't expect anybody will understand it).

I thought that I'd start making comments in every issue since it has come to my attention that our editor's editorials tend be bland, short, and generally uninteresting. So my comments will server three purposes, to piss off the editor with my former comments, to give some more information on the direction of the magazine (being the producer I should know that stuff best), and just to say random things.

This issue I've taken the opportunity to catch up on a few releases that somehow missed coverage when they came out, the notable ones being Edge Of Sanity and Rotting Christ. This brings up a nice point about being an online magazine, our turnaround is incredibly quick, we can actually pick up the album on release date and often have a review of it before the major print magazines that have long since received the pre-release promo. Of course if we can manage to work off the European release date there is even better turnaround, but unfortunately many labels still wish to consider us a North American magazine, despite much of our readership coming from Europe; I'm sure everybody is thankful that the Norwegians, Swedish, and Finnish are trapped by snow and cold thus having nothing else to do but listen to and create music -- when we Canadians get trapped by snow we just rent movies and eat junk food. Oh well, I'd better stop before I offend somebody.
