[URL=http://archive.firstones.com/musicofb5/]It's Back![/URL]

It'll be announced on the main page soon but I thought I'd give you guys a little bit of fun.

Maybe we'll see a bit of the webmaster 'round these parts now? *cough* ;)

    And so it begins...

    Perhaps you could put up the extended Battle Themes from the canceled Space Combat Simulator? Or is it still too hot as a material? :)
  • Johooo :)

    This is really nice :))

    with best Regards

    Well, I just corrected a couple dozen mistakes I made (or rather, filled in a couple of things I should've) a few years ago. Thanks!
  • FreejackFreejack Jake the Not-so-Wise
    Great! I never really got a chance to go through all this music back in the day, so I am glad they are back!

    What are the legal ramifications of hosting a site like this?
  • DarkbladeDarkblade Earthforce Officer
    Didn't Chris Franke give his approval a long time ago to MusicOfB5.com?
  • Amazing site!!!!!!!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    You sir, are an inspiration to us all.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    I was fairly certain I posted a response to this, but oh well.

    Anyway, no major issues for us, as it's a collection of Remixed works (which already are a safe-zone due to the copyright grey area that they reside within) and through the tacit approval of Sonic Images over the years.

    Hello all. This is my first post here, but I've been lurking for a while now. Over the last few years for the hell of it, I'd Google references to my old Music of B5 site and I would find some discussions or mentions of it here. But now that my site is being hosted here, I should say something. ;)

    I've read discussions on my site in the past and people think I had some sort of O.K. from Sonic Images or Chris Franke himself, but in actuality I had nothing of the sort. I once received an e-mail from the VP of Sonic Images asking me to explain why I thought my web site wasn't violating copyright... I sent back a very polite reply with my "reasons" and naturally offered to take down the site if they wanted me to. I never received a second e-mail. I suppose you could call that an approval?

    So, during the years I ran the site, I wasn't going to be surprised if Sonic Images or my server host asked my to remove the MP3s. Luckily I never had a problem! Let's hope it continues here at FirstOnes.com. I agree somewhat with Sanfam about the MP3s being remixes and existing outside the standard copyright laws, but there are tracks on the site that are completely unaltered (like the main titles and a couple of suites from the Vol. 2 CD). In any case, let's just assume that my site will remain open and unthreatened!

    It's good to be back! :)

    Like I said, *tacit* approval.

    Also, keep in mind that if the legal needs arise, we will respond with a proper action. Whether that's defending the content or removing it...well, that all depends on the scenario. However, we're fairly safe on the altered content.
  • WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
  • RhettRhett (Not even a monkey)
    Awesome!! Really glad to see that it is back! Now to go download it all in case of emergencies...
  • RhettRhett (Not even a monkey)
    Oh one request- I don't know how difficult it would be but maybe zip all of it together in one big file that way people could get everything at once? Thats something I would definitely be interested in.


    EDIT: It appears that the ITF Battle Sequence A zip is corrupted in some way because I am getting an error message when I attempt to unzip it (using WinRar). Just thought I would give you a heads up on that. Other than that, thank you so much so glad that I finally have my B5 music back!
  • maxdamagemaxdamage Earthforce Officer
    Just the site for what I am looking for!Have the intro music for each of the B5 seasons and the extended versions as well!I like this archiving business.I hope more people get into B5 this way!:)
  • HuntSmackerHuntSmacker Firstones Ambassador to Starcraftia
    Excellent, now I can fill the gaps in my collection :D
  • Nice site, nicely done.

    It’s good timing reviving the best of the old sites as there might/should be some renewed interest if jms’s Lost Files idea takes off. Will give newbee’s like me the chance to see what I missed.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    O.O you havent seen Babylon 5?!
  • Of course I’ve seen it. Just came a bit late onto the internet scene, so I missed a lot of the fan/official sites that where kicking around in it’s heyday. Like this one, never seen it before, it’s why this idea of archiving them is such a good idea methinks. Things like B5tech are OK, [diplomatic mode]but only give one view of things[/diplomatic mode].

    I tried downloading the ZIP file for that track and decompressing it, and everything seems fine. Has anyone else had problems with that file?
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    Two, two posts mwa ha ha!

    CRC check failed for me as well.
  • MusicOfB5MusicOfB5 Trainee Boston, MA
    Okay, I rearchived the file and uploaded it. Give it a try now.

    Now that something like this is possible (which it wasn't back-in-the-day on the old server) I will look into that!
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Consider making it a torrent. We're getting a torrent system as part of the new server from our hosts, as I recall. This would be a great test of it, plus torrenting it would save us some bandwidth. :p
  • MusicOfB5MusicOfB5 Trainee Boston, MA
    If someone wants to take that on, then God bless. :D I'll be transferring the files to Sanfam's alternate server soon, so that should help the bandwidth here.
