Optyx is an nu metal band represented here by a two-track demo CD-R. The material leans toward experimental nu metal production with sample-based elements. The recordings appear self-produced and were distributed on a Harmony Multimedia CD-R in 2002. The concise set showcases atmospheric textures and beat-driven soundscapes in a demo format.
Handwritten two-track demo CD-R on a Harmony Multimedia disc, dated 2002. Tracks: Infection; Distance (sample).
For many local bands, Los Angeles can be overwhelming. It’s easy to get lost and go unnoticed among the many national acts coming through town on a nightly basis. Unsuccessfully trying to generate a fan base while directly competing with these “nationals” causes most local acts to fold within their first couple of years. Then there’s OPTYX.
Since solidifying their line-up in December of 2001, this quartet has generated such a following that selling out their shows has become commonplace. The numbers continue to grow as you can always find these guys out at local venues and shows promoting. But it takes more than great promotion to bring the numbers…it takes great music. Digitalcity thinks OPTYX has succeeded in this aspect saying, “…the band’s songs are so perfectly executed that it’s easy to tell them apart from some of the less polished acts out there who are just looking to cash in.”
While great songs are important, media attention can be the lifeblood of any band. It seems that these four guys from Santa Monica, CA are in no short supply of this. Their songs have been featured on motocross videos (Travis Pastrana’s “Revelation 199”) that have got them noticed from all over the U.S. to Australia. They’ve opened up for national acts and been written about in some of the most recognized magazines (“The Album Network” by SFX) in the music business. Combine this national exposure with their explosive stage presence and continued dedication to their fans, it’s no surprise Soulineyes named them, “…one of the best up-and-coming bands of 2003.”

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
