³ What is EPINICION?
ĄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ -- -ł ł   ł   ł śśś   ś ś   ś      ś

  Well, first of all, it's pronounced: 'Ep-uh-nee-see-yun.'

  And before we begin, let us explain what Epinicion is.  Epinicion is a song
  written by John Paulson.  Mr. Paulson's song is derived from ancient
  Greek hymns sung by warriors as they cleared the dead off the battlefields
  after a victory.

  After dealing with group politics, egos, and other assorted garbage, and
  facing rejection from countless groups that refused to give new people a
  chance, I decided, to hell with it, I'll start my own group.  Our large
  organization that now exists is testament to the dedication and spirit we
  all possess together.

  Our new work can be found in our internet FTP site ftp.voima.jkl.fi
  in /pub/mod/epi.  This site is run by our dedicated musician zake
  (zake@voima.jkl.fi), and is based at a Finnish University.  Also,
  ftp.cdrom.com /.13/demos/incoming/music is a place to look for not only
  our work, but new work from numerous other groups as well.

  Our World Wide Web (WWW) Home Page is currently under MAJOR development,
  and can't be found anywhere at this time! =)  We're working on it...

  A file listing is available from us.  It can be found in any Epinicion
  release with a infofile version number concurrent with or higher than 1.6.
  It lists in alphabetical order every release we have made since our very
  early beginnings.  The listing is released monthly, denoted in the list's
  right hand corner as mm/yy, mm = month, yy = year.

  We would like to invite anyone that wishes to join, even learn about
  music, to join Epinicion.  We have over 11 years of musical experience
  in several of our members, studying various instruments.  If you need to
  understand musical concepts and whatnot, we can help you, for free.  We're
  not one of those groups that turn away all new people.  You've gotta start
  somewhere.  Why not here?  You'll have fun, contribute to a growing group,
  and perhaps, even get something out of it!  Ever wanted to be able to read
  music but never had time to learn?  Here's your chance! All you have to do
  is work with us.  How hard could that be?

  The application generator of the past is no more.  It's a waste of time, and
  we could care less about your affils.  If you want to work with us, or learn
  with us, join!  We can be contacted on the internet at the two addresses
  below (try the top one first) and also by snail mail (if you do send a
  letter however, include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return).

  POLICY STATEMENT: ALL EPINICION WORK IS FREEWARE AND CANNOT BE SOLD FOR
                    PROFIT OR ALTERED IN ANYWAY NOR RELEASED BY ANYONE SAVE
                    FOR THE GROUP AND ITS MEMBERS.

  Epinicion is a group for you, the musician.  Now join us.  I quote a small
  passage from P. Cadigan's novel, Synners: "We do what we do, and we do it
  because we can."

  Finally group greetings go out to Bass Productions, The Kosmic Free Music
  Foundation, Renaissance '95, Defiance Productions, Pure Resistance, and
  Revolution in Audio and Visual Entertainment (RAVE).
