Another HOT Release from RNS!

Another hot pre-release from RNS... this time, the highly
anticipated, and much delayed Beatnuts album.  Enjoy it --
only from the kings of the pre-release.

A few words on the pathetic group on the scene who put out a
so-called fix for our Puff Daddy rip.  Firstly, I have to
laugh -- it took you THREE DAYS to find the single possible
problem with the rip, that being a slight (and I do mean
slight) blip near the start of one of the tracks.  I guess
since you have no releases of your own to fix, you decided
to take it upon yourselves to issue a fix for a problem with
another group's rip that no one would have noticed --
desparation drives you to do odd things, eh?

To everyone who was deeply traumatized by the quarter-second
blip in the background (a loss of synch in the encoding
process) at the beginning of track 17 of
Puff_Daddy-Forever_(Explicit_Retail)-1999-RNS, please accept
our deepest apologies.  MP3 encoding is not an exact
science, and errors do occur -- we try to minimize all of
them, and try to completely eliminate the big problems.  We
DID listen to Puff Daddy before releasing it, but our
examination unfortunately did not reveal the ever so minor
error in track 17 (in fact, I had to listen to the affected
portion repeatedly to hear the so-called error).  RNS
releases over 6000 albums a year -- it is simply not
feasible to listen to each and every one of them from start
to finish.  Volume is our excuse for the few errors that
slip through the cracks -- what excuse can the other groups
possibly use, with their 2 releases a week?

On another note, please welcome stage5 to RNS... he will
make an invaluable member of the team.

TEAM RNS - RUNNING THE MP3 SCENE IN 1999 AND BEYOND

Since 1996, Rabid Neurosis has been dedicated to releasing
the highest-quality, cutting-edge MP3s in the online music
community.  With an average of nearly 6000 releases per
year, RNS is untouchable both in terms of quantity and
quality of releases.  Many of the largest releases in the
music world were released by RNS long before their official
street date.  We pride ourselves on ensuring that our
releases encompass every musical genre, from pop, to
hip-hop, to jazz, to house, to alternative, and back again.

Do you think you have what it takes to be part of Team RNS?
RNS is currently looking for:

- T3+/40GB+ siteops running a *nix-based OS
- cable/ADSL+ rippers on the east coast or in the EU
willing to do store pickups every Tuesday morning
- individuals with access to music prior to its official
retail release date
- hardware suppliers
- individuals with a skill useful to the group -- we're
always looking for new ways to better RNS

If you fall into any of these categories, please ask to
speak with a group senior in #rns on EFnet.

courier team for RNS -- please show them the same priveleges
