for the Mekton Z game. Althoug they are not "canon" for the setting,
they became very popular, raising large amounts of feedback, and
many people uses them as a source of information for the setting.
They are good, too -would I make a site for a story I didn't write

installed on your computer if you're using Netsacape or MSIE.
I choose MOV over MP3 just 'cause many people can't hear MP3 but
almost everybody can play a movie. These are small fragments,
just a strophe and a chorus, but long enough to be recognized
so we can sing along the lyrics :) Also the sound is awful to
reduce space, but each file is about 400-500K - could be worse.<BR>

their bread outta their mouths, so I'll <B>NOT </b>include full MP3 nor Real Audio musics, only a few, low quality,
seconds so we can sing along. If you wanna full music, go and
buy it. <B>b) Legalesse</b>: Right now there's a legal void on my country about the exact
extension of the "fair usage" of copyrighted sound material on
electronic documents; as there is specifically allowed to reproduce
properly quoted disc covers on publications, we thereby assume
that the usage of recognizable portions of a copyrighted sound
on a publication for reference would be the equivalent. That could
change when said legal void disappears.</FONT> </P>
