9-Mar-99:	All the tune archives are temporarily? offline. I hope this gets sorted ASAP. I have no control over this however and if for some reason the ftp cannot be restored I will have to move ExoticA.. again...
1-Mar-99:	Well, It's 7:15 am and I seem to have forgotten to go to bed. Actually, thats a bit of a lie. The truth is I noticed there had been a High Voltage SID Collection update and had to play some of those fantastic tunes :) So, anyway, I have now updated the ExoticA mirror of this magnificent C= 64 music collection to version 3.0. Now there are over 10,000 tunes!!! Big thanks to the hardworking High Voltage team. ExoticA's mirror of the collection distributes the tunes in 2 ways. You can either browse the individual files using our custom HTML interface - HERE or you can download ALL the tunes in 1 HUGE (19.5 meg) gzip compressed tar archive - HERE. Please also remember that most of the archives online can also be downloaded via FTP. Just login to ftp.amigascne.org and go to directory /pub/exotica/ Added issue 26 of Newsflash diskmag. The collection is getting closer to completion. Huge thanks to Mark de Jong for sending this in! Its on 3 disks and you can download it from the Newsflash section.
24-Feb-99:	Restructured the Info section and added a Deli News page to it. This will contain english translations of Zeg's Delitracker news texts. Thanks to spectral for the first translation. Added the music from International Soccer Challenge - DW.Int_Soccer_Challenge.lha - which was composed by David Whittaker. renamed DW.amiga.mus to DW.Battle_Of_The_Ashes on the DW-DavidWhittaker section. Added XtC's and Gemuse's fave tunes to the Special Music section. Sorry for the delay - only 8 months late :)
22-Feb-99:	Nothing added to the site. Just a message to remember my friend Roy. Who was an active and supportive amiga user. He died 1 year ago today to my greatest sadness. But not only do I think of him, but I send my thoughts to his wife, daughter and 2 sons who's terrible loss I cannot imagine. My love to you all.
15-Feb-99:	Well, I hope romance was in the air for you all yesterday. Did you get any cards? I received a lovely postcard from some friends in Finland, but I have to say, there is very little love here in my life. So come on, send me some nice emails to cheer me up :) buzz@amigascne.org. Reorganised the AVP-ActivisionPro music section improving filenames and adding new music. The tunes AVP.British and AVP.German were both from the game Reach for The Skies and so are packed together in 1 archive - Reach_For_The_Skies.lha. Added the following games tunes: Defender 2: Defender_2.lha Devious Designs: Devious_Designs.lha Frenetic: Frenetic.lha AV8B Harrier Assault: AVP.AV8B_Harrier_Assault.lha Made some other minor filename alterations to other tunes also. All tunes were composed by Martin Walker. Added the music from Heavy Metal which was composed by Jason Brooke (JCB-JCBrooke) - JCB.Heavy_Metal.lha. Altered some other filenames in the JCB-JCBrooke section. Moved the tune AHX.Tualkeg Run Sella from Pink.lha to Unknown.lha in the AHX-AbyssHighestExperience section as it was not composed by Pink.

A: Alien Breed Special Edition, Amiga Karate, Arcade Trivia Quiz, Arnie B: Biing, Blood Money, Blue Max, Buggy Boy C: Chaos Engine, The Chessmaster, City Defence E: Edd The Duck, Epic F: FIFA International Soccer Of course, for each game there is author information and if available, there is a link to the music. Updated various pages on ExoticA to use a plain coloured background image. This will make backgrounds dither on low colour screens etc, and should look better on low spec machines. Users browsing in 24 bit should be unaffected.
19-Jan-99:	Sorry for lack of updates recently, but I have been very busy working on the http://amigascne.org site. Moved all CGI's from their old server to here. The guestbook and the counter should be working again now, so if you've been wanting to write a nice comment then do so :) Added an updated title logo from XtC, which I think looks really fab. Thanks!

Custom modules contain the actual music replay code, since the music is not in any standard format. Many more great tunes can be downloaded from the main CUST-Custom music page. Thanks to all who have sent files in that I may have forgotten. I try to give credit where its due :) Thanks to everyone who has supported the site in 1998, and I look forward to your continuing support as ExoticA heads towards the Year 2000!
