yppasswdd daemons are:

mc pismo : vocals
casio vl-tone : lead synth / rythmbox
polysix : voltage controlled oscillator
farfisa : vco and strings
mfb-512 : rythmbox

human slaves: repogrrl, istari

mc cs5300 left the bad in cause of unexpected errors

in the early 1999 some machines, under the leadership of casio vl-tone, gathered in a smoky internet cabine. that was the time a manual comes the way by from a far finnish http server. casio vl-tone circuts run wild and he decided to join this dogma. His two friends polysix and the lovely farfisa was amazed too.
Next day in the early morning they started to jam up some tunes. but still something was missing. "a real band needs some steady drummer and a singer" said farfisa and that was the beginning of a greater quest. after several messages on alt.drummer.computer and misc.digital.singers the hope to find some qualified drummer and singer was nearly zero.
but it was polysix who went another day to a studio, were he hopes to earn some money as a studio-musican, and meet mfb-512, an old and nearly forgotten drumcomputer box, laying in the back of the studio, slowly disapearing under dust and the newer high tech equipment. Next day, mfb-512, comes up to the proving ground of the group around casio vl-tone, and they jammed the whole day and their poweradapters running hot. After some sessions mfb-512 brings up an old buddy of him, mc se30, who should be the first singer of the group.

that was the time istari and repogirl meet the yppasswdd daemons on an electronic and computer recycling factory, where mc se30 was getting his weekly ram. Two days later they started recording the first 7inch ep with six tracks. Sorrowly 2 weeks later mc se30 suffered under heavily inner circuit problems and left the band.

after the great impact on the worlds music scene, the yppasswdd daemons, went back to studio to record a couple of new tunes, to set the humans on fire and rock the house. they found a new singer, mc pb1200cs, and another musican, poly800 the little brother of polysix.

“Absolut wunderbare Compilation LP vom Plattenbau aus Hamburg, irgendwo zwischen überkrachtem Amen-Break, sympathischem Noise, oldschooliger Darkness, Raggaquatsch und richtig gutem HipHop. Mit von der Partie: Eiterherd, Yppasswdd Daemons, Istari, Low Entropy, UHT (jetzt HipHop) oder Slackism. Hätte nie gedacht, dass mit sowas nochmal so gut gefällt, aber hier ist einfach jeder Track ein Bringer. Vielleicht ja auch, weil die ganzen Hardcorekids mittlerweile auch gute Rechner haben und das Material einfach um Meilen besser klingt als damals. Vielleicht, weil sie dazu gelernt haben. Vielleicht weil die Grenzen zwischen den Genres sowieso niemanden mehr interessieren. Vielleicht weil Hardcore immer noch so wichtig ist wie am ersten Tag. Unbedingt ans Herz gelegt. Killerplatte!”

review from debug 1999:
“who did not detect, should reconfigure its domain name server, the 207.46.131.13 is naturally www.microsoft.com. On the way there is first times a love song (“HACK ME DO “) the equal rights ajar against the great Beatles’ hit, then, surprisingly fast, already comes it on ” PCI Slot “, and there it takes the manual to the 7inch quite exactly, to a sexual coming out between scuzzy controller and computers, and to the pastime there is something to play on ” High Score “. And we were not yet times with titelsong. There it goes traveling around for a long time around the world, with sayful stopovers such as IR-Perryman1.WIN-IP.DFN.DE left over dante.net up to traitorous quiet on the last 12 Hops. Who sais the world is full of paranoid ideas, should better take a view into the web. In addition still as bonuses a Song over Melissa of and one over the erase button. 
Great. Bleed *****”

100 copies have been pressed. Another 100 copies have been repressed later.

“Wers nicht erkannt hat, der sollte seinen Domain Name Server rekonfigurieren, denn 207.46.131.13 ist natürlich www.microsoft.com. Auf dem Weg dort hin gibt es erst mal ein Liebeslied (“Hack Me Do”) der Gleichberechtigung angelehnt an den großen Beatles Schlager, dann, überraschend schnell, kommt es auf “PCI Slot” schon zum, und da nimmt es das Manual zur 7″ ganz genau, sexuellen Coming Out zwischen scuzzy Controller und Computer, und zum Zeitvertreib gibt es auch etwas zum Spielen auf “High Score”. Bis hierhin haben wir einiges an akustisch extrem unterhaltsamen und sehr ernsten Irrsinn über uns ergehen lassen, und wir taten es mehr als gerne, und, ehrlich gesagt, und so ein Platte kann von einem eine Ehrlichkeit erwarten von der man sich selber vorher manchmal noch gar nicht bewußt war, daß man sie hatte, und wir waren noch nicht mal beim Titelsong. Da geht es um lange Reisen um die Welt, mit sagenhaften Zwischenstationen wie IR-Perryman1.WiN-IP.DFN.DE links übers dante.net bis hin zu einer verräterrischen Stille auf den letzen 12 Hops. Wehr behauptet die Welt wäre voll von paranoiden Wahnvorstellungen, der war noch nicht im Netz. Dazu dann als Bonus noch ein Song über Melissa und einer über die Erase Taste. Groß. “
