The saying "the more things change, the more they stay the same"
couldn't ring any truer. Throughout our ups and downs, ACiD remains as the
ubiquitous figure which continues to transcend all scenes, constantly
adapting to the new artistic avenues innovated by modern technology, while
raising the bar one what is considered to be achievable. Our appreciation
and love extends far beyond the confines of the "artscene", if even those
boundaries are imagined...

Kuroi Neko decided to follow Protocol this month, and is now leader
of the pHluid Music Group, presiding over all matters pertaining to the
ACiD music division. Kuroi Neko, or Kneko was unanimously selected as the
candidate to succeed Protocol, with previous experience as the
general coordinator, overseeing the release of the past four music disks.
While Protocol has resigned from his executive responsibilities, he
will continue to track and has been made an honorary alumnus member.
Pinion, musical genius and cofounder of pHluid is also inducted in to the
ACiD alumni in acknowledgement of his contributions to ACiD and the scene
in general.
With the recent loss of her mutant powers of telepathy, ASCII artist
Psylocke changed her alias to Jamiesan.

Joining us from the land down under comes Dvandenberg, while Fluctuate
futher contributes to the undulation of our Hirez division.
The new super across the way, Pesho, rounds off the list of new
artists with his posh ASCII style.
Keeping you begging for m0(re), we proudly induct electronic and
experimental musician :m. zero, while Subl*ACiDRULES*iminal tracks to the
beat of a diff*BUYACiDGEAR*erent drum. Triad, the musician formerly known
as RS3, or Royal Sefton the Third, joins us while delivering the killer
Page remix featured in our pHluid flashtro. Troll crosses the bridge from
CSR to pHluid bringing a multitude of styles which range from gabber to jazz
to industrial. Lastly we welcome someone who isn't afraid to be different,
oldskool tracker from the 408, Xenopraxis.

We wave bye bye to Biogen, Blackdawn and Blue Devil and continue to
clean house with Cleaner and Computer Man. Diamond and Discofunk didn't
draw designating them deleted from the directory. We weren't sure if we
could take Digital Interface and Francis Seven seireiously after they left
to draw hirez for another group. Emok is removed too, now the object of
ridicule and contempt, electronically of course. Erick Sermon was dis-
charged for failing to practice what he preached and we're just as
perplexed as you are as to what ever happened to Enigmatic. The Fahrenheit
dropped and the Flames went out too. Apparently Sairoku didn't Sphere us
the first time when we mentioned something about staying active. A Pariah
of the ASCII world, Zerostar turned so Hex Corrupt that even VGA artists
Saffron and Tomppa1 have gone in to Remission. Maybe if we took more
Sudiphed we wouldn't have caught such a nasty Virex. If you ever see him
on the street with his girlfriend, be sure to slash his wrists and
Terminator2.
But before we bury the hatchet, we had to axe just one more...
Darkcube: Thanks. For nothing.

Prepare yourselves, votaries! ACiD's music goons are in full effect!
pHluid's been very very busy since the last newsletter. Probably the most
significant piece of news is that music disks are once again being released
on a regular monthly basis. This has been on going as of October 1999, and
marks the most active period pHluid has seen since 1997. As of December
1999, the file naming convention for the music disks has been changed to
phluidvvp.zip (volume/part); it is no longer ph-mmyy.zip.
The packs released from October 1999 are as follows:
- October 1999 : ph-1099.zip
- November 1999 : ph-1199.zip
- December 1999 : phluid26.zip
- January 2000 : phluid27.zip
- February 2000 : phluid28.zip
- March 2000 : phluid29a.zip, phluid29b.zip
- April 2000 : phluid30a.zip, phluid30b.zip
A reunion disk is also being planned in which active members as well
as retirees will participate. Oldschool to newschool like the Warzone
album, baby. The disk should be out in the summer of 2000.
The pHluid website has been completely redesigned, and a plethora of
sexy new features have been added. A flash intro (by kX^mode), message
board, and up-to-the-minute pHluid radio playlists are just part of the fun.
A COMPLETE archive of all pHluid music is now fully operational as well.
New shoutcast audio streams are also now available: pHluid Radio
(http://live365.acid.org:8718, 56kb stream) features a constantly updated
mix of pHluid tunes and a variety of techno; ACiD Radio
(http://radio.acid.org:8000, 128kb stream) delivers a live shoutcast mix
with mostly drum 'n' bass and jungle, cooperatively hosted by Imaje and
ACiD Productions. You'll listen if you know what's good for you.
Speaking of tunes, pHluid has also made strategic inroads with two MP3
sites. They now have a page on everybody's favorite, MP3.com, located at
http://www.mp3.com/phluid. Check it out and watch as they rack up literally
tens of dollars in Payback for Playback earnings.
Congratulations are also in order to kX^Mode as he hit #1 in the Deep
House charts and continued to continually rank in the Top 50 Electronic
genre on MP3.com.
Riffage.com has pHluid MP3s available as well. Riffage delivers music
using Real Audio and incorporates audience participation by allowing them to
apply ratings and reviews to their favorite songs. Hint, hint.
Helping you fill the hollow void you feel in your daily lives, as of
February 15th, 2000, pHluid T-shirts are available, pHluid's first clothing
item. Shirt sizes and colors are on display at the ACiDgear Website
(http://www.acid.org/acidgear/). You know you want one, because there's
no better place to display the pHluid's adopted music dude logo than right
across your chest. Ladies, we're talking to YOU. The design is a high-
quality print, thanks to our own amazing Goatgirl, who oversaw the printing
of the shirts (it is her day job and all).
And finally, we have a small change of staff to announce. Protocol
has stepped down as Advisor (due to time constraints), and was replaced by
Kuroi Neko. We're sure he'll keep everything running just a smooth as a
[ed: dung] after a bowl of bran flakes.
Until next time kids. Don't stop rockin'!

Not much news in the artpacks area this time around, though there's
been an interesting development with the cdrom.com archives. Walnut Creek
CD-ROM has sold the domain name cdrom.com along with ftp.cdrom.com's server
hardware to Digital River. This change has not affected
ftp.cdrom.com/pub/artpacks or its mirrors, although the change from "creek"
to "river" is an interesting coincidence, don't you think?

And thus concludes another chapter in ACiD history. With our eye
on the future, we look forward to pursuing our everlasting passion that
makes up our scene. Be it creating artistic history, documenting it, or
archiving it, we will be here.
