                        Some words and notes from Depeche
________________________________________________________________________________

Part 1: Tribute to mcCoy

The demo starts with a tribute to mcCoy (https://x.com/mibosshard). He is an
Amiga and hardware enthusiast in general. We have been friends for many years.
Now I have reinterpreted the IFF image he painted in the 80s and converted it
into code. mcCoy knew nothing about all of this and was probably wondering why
on earth he wasn't allowed to do a screen recording of the demo in advance this
time. Now he knows why. This is for you.

Original idea and artwork: mcCoy (https://youtu.be/xKuwUsnHBDU)

Run cycle animation based on Patrick W. Crawford's (aka TheDuckCow) tutorials
and sample files (https://theduckcow.com/2020/minecraft-animation-tutorials)

Part 2: Circ-Wave

Spreadpoint member Big Brother got back into Amiga programming again after some
decades and contributed this so called Circ-Wave effect. Give him a warm welcome
back on the Amiga.

Given the limitations (LSP, little memory available), you composed and arranged
this track brilliantly. Thank you so much.
