Relevant P.O.S. - The Sounds
This page contains various audio and MIDI files by the band Relevant P.O.S.
MPEG 2 Layer III is a very efficient way of compressing audio files. You can get much higher quality audio into relatively smaller
(and hence faster downloading) files. You will need a player to play these files, as Web Browsers don't support them
by default. See our links page for downloadable players.
Our MP3 files can be found on the Relevant POS page on MP3.COM.
There is also a Relevant POS page on BEsonic.com.
To play General MIDI files, you will need a soundcard that supports General MIDI (preferably with a Wavetable synth), or a MIDI interface with a General MIDI synth attached.
NB You really need at least a wavetable soundcard to get the best out of these MIDI tracks. I set them up to work well on my Casio GZ-50M external GM module and also on my MAXI 64 soundcard. I have found that there is a lot of difference in relative volumes
of the same instruments on different soundcards, so if some of these tracks sound crap on your soundcard - sorry - they sound OK on mine!
Satelite | 4 minutes long. Converted to General MIDI from the original Evolution Audio sequence. | |
2 Years Too Late | The 'real' track has vocals. (John having a damn good rant) You'll just have to imagine that. | |
The Phone Song | A sequenced version of quite an early track (during our 'pop' period). Again, the original has words. | |
Feel | This was originally done on a Sinclair Spectrum home-made sequencer, driving 2 Wasp synths. | |
Cold Questions | Vocals missing! | |
The Waltz '99 | All you waltzers, I want to see you waltzing... | |
980703b | We never got round to thinking up a title for this. | |
Home Page Intro | This is the v.short MIDI track you used to hear when you loaded our home page using Internet Explorer. (We tool the background files off most of our pages as they can be VERY irritating!) | |
'Gear' Page | This was the background MIDI track you heard when you loaded our music gear page with IE. | |
'Pictures' Page | This was the background MIDI track for our pictures page. | |
'History' Page | This was the background MIDI track for our band history page. | |
Dave's Tracks The following are Dave's solo tracks |
||
990530 | Created 30th May 1999. A 'lazy' piece. This might sound awful on your soundcard - it was based a lot on the specific GM sounds in the Maxi 64. | |
990329 | Created 29th March 1999. A quiet track. | |
990330 | Created 30th March 1999. This one builds up quite a bit. | |
990330a | Also created 30th March 1999. I'm good with names, aren't I? This was an attempt to get a vaguely realistic guitar sound. It does sound quite good on the Maxi 64 soundcard. The track itself needs more work though. | |
Fanfare | A fanfare for a new life... (Written for Rolf's baby) |
