i wholehearedly second that, having been initiated into the ranks of the
tinnitus afflicted 5 months ago, i can only say that in some respects it
has made my life a living hell. (imagine having a extremely  minimal sahko
track on in your head ALL THE TIME. belive me, the novelty wears off *real*
fast...)if you love music and more importantly if you write tracks
yourself, you'll need to have your ears in good shape for a long long
time... i'm only 21 and it really pisses me off that for the rest of my
life i'll have to plan around this shit.
and man, do i feel like kicking my own ass now for not being careful
enough... (ironically, i was aware of tinnitus and thought i *was* 
being careful enough... well, i guess i was wrong. sigh) 

anyway, i would highly recommened checking out the tinnitus FAQ on how to
protect yourself: http://www.cccd.edu/faq/tinnitus.html
(if this site
dosen't work there are a bunch of other sites that have  it)

and now for something completely different:
how does saber's of paradise sabersonic2 compare to sabersonic1?
i sold my copy of saber1 soon after it was deleted and been wanting
it back ever since... so is saber2 equally good (i know it has some tracks
on it from saber1) or is it just a bad sequel...?

thanks in advance.
