While there is no official webpage for this defunct label, there is an unofficial one. Check out Deadfoot's COMBAT Page. You'll also find this and other external sites in the Links section.
Go figure.
It's easy to be intolerant and hostile to devout believers (I.E. Chriatians,
Jews, Catholics, Muslims, etc). It's not like Christianity doesn't have
it's heaping helping of screw-ups through-out history. I could go on for
paragraphs about the likes of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, etc.
But I'll jump right to my point. No matter what your beliefs are, tolerance
of others and their beliefs is vital. I can't emphasize this enough.
I have friends who are Christian, Jewish, Pagan, agnostic and all sorts
of interesting blends. My late father-in-law was born Jewish but died a
devout Catholic. While sometimes I have to just nod my head and ignore
some overtly religious remarks from people around me, I've never, ever
been forced to do anything against my will or change my beliefs by any
person. By respecing the rights and beliefs of others, my own lifestyle
choices are respected as well.
I wish this were true for others. Sadly, some Christians parade around in public bearing signs saying "FAGS BURN IN HELL!". Clearly, they missed the point that I got a long time ago...
And remember folks... It doesn't matter what the religion, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, political membership or other minority factors are... ANYONE CAN BE AN ASSHOLE! :)
Once you have an MP3 player installed, you should be able to just click on any of the sound sample links on the Dark Angel webpage. Please note that this webserver does not have support for streaming audio, so it will probably be necessary for your computer to download the entire sample before it will start playing.
Now that we're out of the 1900's I felt it was time to re-do all the samples. This time I ripped them directly from CD using EZ CD Creator Pro (straight Digital Audio Extraction, thus no sampling involved). Next I cropped the samples, normalized them to non-clipping levels and added a fade-out to each sample using SoundForge 4.0. I took the result and encoded into a lower-than-usual quality MP3 form (Specifically: 96 kilobits per second at 44KHz, true stereo) using CodAxe and the Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional edition).
The result is samples of about a megabyte in length each, but of much higher quality than before. You can distinctly hear the stereo and there's far less distortion than in the RealAudio samples. While the file size pretty much quadrupled, nowadays the 56Kbps modem is the lower end of household Internet connections. More and more people have some form of DSL, cable modem or digital microwave access to the Internet.
