Talk:Rabid Neurosis

I am not sure if RNS is the first mp3 ripping group. RNS was indeed one of the first groups on the mp3 scene if not the first. They focused on rap & RNB initially. In the early months of the scene literally right after the codec was available there were only two groups at the time ripping with the intent on creating a scene. DAC (Digital Audio Crew)(efnet #DAC) and RNS (efnet #RNS). The scene was very, very small, starting off by just releasing individual songs. I was a member of DAC. This was our release list at the beginning of 97. Consider the fact that back then it took hours to rip songs and a long time to transfer due to low modem speed, we clearly released alot of songs in 1996. By the time #mp3 blew up (mid '97),DAC was pretty much dead. All of this predates napster, p2p etc.

Does anyone know where i could fined a list of all there releases theres so many lol.

Try #dupecheck on EFnet

Did they really end? Someone has reversed the changes, but I have yet to find this album on the net. Also I don't know how you would cite their first release, as only good private Pre channels would contain the exact release date of that album; like this one.

First: Metallica-Ride_The_Lightning-RNS was released 10y 15w 6d 6h 41m 58s ago. [1996-10-05] [ MP3 - RNS ]

Al_Capone was not the founder, nor was he even a member when the group was formed. N0fX and BonethuG were the rightful founders, proved in this interview (among others). Additionally, Ride the Lightning was not their first release; whole albums were uncommon at that time, their first release would have been a single track. The database from which the above line was pasted doesn't stretch back that far, and thus wouldn't include their actual first release. This is confirmed by this interview dated September 1996 (the month prior to the Ride the Lightning release) which states the group have released 152+ releases.
