Shortly afterwards founding guitarist Andy Lee left the band was replaced by Nic Hudson. Following a performance at a music conference in Atlanta, the band signed to The Militia Group. With songs planned out, the band went to record with producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount. Recording took place at Treesound Studios in Atlanta in May and June 2005. Chroma released through The Militia Group in September 2005. The album sold 3,000 copies in its first week and charted at number 140 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Background

Cartel formed in August 2003 in Atlanta. The band consisted of vocalist Will Pugh, bassist Ryan Roberts, drummer Kevin Sanders, and guitarists Joseph Pepper and Andy Lee. The members had known each other since high school and have played in various bans prior to Cartel. Cartel self-released The Ransom EP in March 2004. Half of the songs on the EP were written by Lee. Pugh, Roberts, Sanders and Pepper considered themselves a "tight-knit group". The band thought Lee didn't fit in with the rest of them. Pugh explained that "With someone like Andy, [...] it's gonna lead to peoples' feelings getting hurt." Lee was replaced by Nic Hudson. Hudson nearly joined the army before the band asked him to join.

Mastertronic

Mastertronic was originally a publisher and distributor of low-cost computer game software founded in 1983. Their first games were distributed in mid-1984. At its peak the label was the dominant software publisher in the UK, a position achieved by selling cassette-based software at the £1.99 and £2.99 price-points. As well as being an exclusive wholesaler of computer games to Woolworth's, Toys "R" Us and other leading retailers, Mastertronic sold software in outlets such as newsagents which had not been previously associated with the software market.

Later diversification included the setting up of US operations to source and distribute their software, as well as an unsuccessful arcade games division (Arcadia Systems). However, it was their decision to market the Sega Master System in the UK that ultimately proved most successful. It resulted in the Master System outselling its rival, the NES throughout the 8-bit era and was cited by some as Virgin Group's reason for investing in the company (and later buying it outright).

Ricochet (2000 video game)

Ricochet is a first-person shooter multiplayer video game. It was developed by Valve Corporation and originally released on November 1, 2000. Ricochet is an official modification, and is available through Steam for purchase; however, it is free for those who purchased the retail version of Half-Life prior to the release of Steam.

Gameplay

Ricochet's gameplay notable is for its apparent simplicity, inspired by arcade games and platform games in both concept and design. Players jump between neon-lit platforms suspended above an abyss, and shoot disks at one another, trying to push the opponent off the platform and into the depths.

There are also horizontal barriers which the disks can bounce off (hence the name Ricochet); a direct hit resulting in a fall scores 1 point, a single-bounced hit scores 2 points, double-bounced 3 points, and triple-bounced 4 points. Ricochet also features a secondary attack (done by the alternative fire key) which cuts off the head of the opponent. The decapitation attack (as it is called) uses all three discs, but recharges all of them at once quickly.
