Dear readers / supporters,

After several years of putting together Tracks Of Creation I have decided
that it is time for me to take some time off.  The magazine has reached 
the goals that I set out for it, it has a substantial readership, but 
it is time for a rest now.

Tracks Of Creation got its roots about 4 years ago now, when I was 
just 18 and attending my first year of university.  Back then it was just 
a large collection of links to hard music sites, but in Autumn of 1996 that
was transformed into the magazine.  Since then it has grown and received a
considerable readership and industry support.

I had a lot of fun doing the magazine, and it always seemed to keep
getting better.  Issue #3 of Volume 2 was by far the best we ever 
did, and that was accompanied by the Dark Music Special which represents
some of my best work.

I certainly have not become tired of the music, or the industry, my 
interest in the extreme and unknown arts has never been less.  I wish 
that I could continue to do the magazine, but for a variety of 
reasons, I have to take a break from this right now.  Someday I will be
able to set new goals again, and Tracks Of Creation will have another 
volume, but until that day I wish you all well and hope you continue 
to listen to the music that we all know is the best.

On behalf of all the contributors, I would like to thank you for being 
a part of this experience, we enjoyed having you as our audience.


Sincerely,




Neil St.Laurent
