WHAT THE HELL ARE SWAPPING FOR??                                 (AJAY/AMAZE)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I begin to babble on the subject of swapping,I'd just like to say that
I'm from a group in the UK, so the points that i make apply to the UK mainly.
Ok, now i've got that out the way let's start. So why ??. "WHY THE HELL DO WE 
SWAP ??" To  some guys it maybe just  to be recieve the  latest warez  or the
latest demos or  whatever else it maybe. To me though and a lot of other guyz
it means FRIENDSHIP. I  expect all you lot beyond the  screen are saying  "Oh 
man, another boring article on friendship!! ZZZzzz" Yeah,well you may do that
and i don't really blame you but i feel that this is a real important, if not
the most important factor of swapping.Y'know,I used to have to have a contact
,well i still do and we are still good mates.We wouldn't write the commom six
word letter that we all know.. "HI,HERES LATEST,SEND LATEST,BYE", but instead
write an esay(almost anyway)to each other,or maybe we would talk on the phone
and chat for hours on end.Loads of guyz share this view,Elite and Lame alike.
I mean if you wanna learn to code for example you don't just get the books to
teach you but also  the help of some coders and it  takes a good mate to take
some of their time just to help  you out with coding.Same applys to swapping.
I know guyz who may not recive the latest can be a pain up the ass when there
trying to get  some warez of you, but when you do help them, you  can be sure
that he's now another friend of yours and you never know.The guy you may have
helped out may return the favour to you. Another recent  thing that i've just
noticed is the FRIENDSHIP group,which i where all groups,regardless of status
come together.(Apologies to anyone if this is incorrect) Anyaway i think this 
idea is great and i hope many big groups as well as the little ones join this
movement. Another way of keeping friendship up,and which i think is the best,
is the partys or legally 'demo conferences' as they are so called.These are a 
great way of meeting your contacts,meeting the big guys in the scene and also 
getting to  know other people  you never met... So thumbs up to all these. So 
after all that the point I'm trying to make is that " A FRIEND IS FOREVER,THE 
AMIGA  ISN'T " Think what  you may of that... Anyway, THANX for reading  this 
article  and  THANX to the guyz  at AMAZE  for  publishing it (ya  see,  it's 
published.ed). If  you  do  wanna  contact me, my  address  will  be  on  the 
classifieds section.....


INTERVIEW WITH PINK PANTHER OF KYRIOS                    (ROKDAZONE/EX-AMAZE)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rok : So, please introduce yourself and tell us something about your  work in
      your group.
P.P.: Hi! This is PINK PANTHER boring you with another interview. After a cup
      of tea and my English-homework. I'm quite inspired to write some lines.
      Yes... my work. I actually do  not believe it's "work"  what I am doing 
      but my hobby is to  compose musics. Well, I'm  trying to!  But... , coz
      of  the fact  that I'm trying  it for two years now, I'm very satisfied
      with the results.

Rok : Well, when did you start your career and on which computer?
P.P.: My interest for the computer awoke when I first saw the good old C64 in
      action. Not much  time passed and I  got my very own  machine, it was a
      C128. In the beginning, there  were only a  couple of small groups with
      members only from Oldenburg (our hometown.ed).  But... after some years
      our knowledge got bigger and the groups we joined  got bigger, too. The
      last one, before  I bought an AMIGA  was called STATIC. It  was quite a
      nice group and we also had some releases.The show on AMIGA started with
      a  group  nammed  SAVORY (know  da sticker?). We  had many  member- and
      namechanges, from SAVORY over  AXXEON to ARISE and  finally to SUPPLEX. 
      This is a great  group if you have a  modem or if you are able to crack 
      or train.But if you do graphix or musix it isn't the right place.That's
      the reason why some folx of mine and me built a new group:KYRIOS. These
      friends were EPIC (former RED HAWK) and JAXX (former SLIMER)/CELTIC and
      XY/SUPPLEX. This  team is really nice 'cause of  cool coding (EPIC) and 
      gfx (JAXX & XY). 

Rok : Phew, long answer isn't it? ...What do you think about the scene today?
P.P.: I like the many new and "old" musicians  in the scene.  They are really
      getting better. Many tunes aren't worse  than a lot of the charts-stuff
      at the moment.  I really like  the situation nowadays. ... The scene is
      getting professional!

Rok : Oh, I hope, ya are also thinking of me (Ok, I'm already quite...).
      Let's go on... What is your favourite...
P.P.: -group     : RED SECTOR ! The coolest, hottest & biggest.
      -demo      : Cebit (RSI)! Great design (except the charset!)
      -musician  : Walkman! A professional.
      -gfx-artist: Terminator! The logo of the century.
      -coder     : A lot are the best! Perhaps: SLAYER, KREATOR, DELTA, TEC
                   METALLION, SULKY FELLOW (and some more maybe!)

Rok : Right, what do you think about copy-parties?
P.P.: Their are always fun  if you join the right one.  It's not so important
      how famous the group that organizes it is, but the mood! (and the stuff
      of course!)

(continues in next article)

(continues from previous article)

Rok : Please, tell us something about your future plans.
P.P.: I hope my tunes will  complete some  really nice  KYRIOS-productions in
      the near future.

Rok : Because you are a  musician, it would be interesting to know what music
      you are listening to in your spare-time.
P.P.: In my spare-time I'm listening to groups like  Queensryche, Iron Maiden
      Propaganda, Phil Collins, Marillion...

Rok : Hm, quite different... And what is your favourite food/drink?
P.P.: I could die for "Gyros" with beer!!!

Rok : Yes, I've just realized the beer. And your favourite movies/series?
P.P.: My favourite movies are: Top Gun, Rainman, Pretty Woman, Oedipussy,
      Die Hart.

Rok : Coz we were together on a trip to LONDON, what do  you think  about the
      journey and the city as whole?
P.P.: Everything is great in LONDON. The  citizens, the shops, the breakfast,
      the beer, everything. Also on the  ferry we  had a lot of fun. We  held
      our party  right before the cabines  and the capitaine wasn't satisfied
      with that at all...

Rok : Uh, I know that story, because the capitaine liked to  arrest me twice.
      But, to continue... Do you have any personal greetings/fuckings?
P.P.: Moin, moin to  TRISTAN (ich hab' nicht  vergessen zu  schreiben,  Deine
      Adresse ist verschwunden  und  leider war  die  Brieftasche  drumherum)
      Schreib doch nochmal!; TRASHCAN (Hey, LEIFLE(?),  lange nichts mehr von
      Dir gehoert. Ruf' mal an!);  DEFCON 5 (Moin  Michael,  immernoch  alles
      klar mit SUPPLEX?)...

Rok : All right Folk, I'm finished now with  questions  and I'm thirsty, too.
      Some last words???
P.P.: All inspiration has gone! Bye, bye and see you...!

Rok : Cheers...


Ibbenbueren-Osnabrueck Scene Report                           (WARHEAD/PANIC)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi dudez ! I am  Warhead of PANIC  and I want to write an  article  about the
Amiga-Scene in the region  in which I live. I can't write about  my own  town
because I live in a very small town (german: kaff)  and I  am the only one in
Mettingen (yep!), who is involved in the Amiga-Scene.
Ok, lets start:

PANIC
The only members of Panic in this region are me(Warhead) and Dr.Headcrash and
we are  quite good  friends  and meet quite often. I am mainly  swapping  and 
nerving around while Dr.Headcrash is a really productive guy(music,gfx,code).
Watch out for his next  multi-part demo Crucifiction. In  this case I want to 
send a  big fuck to Freiherr  von Gravenreuth who  accused both of us. Also I
want to mention Outrage (no Panic member)who is a friend of both of us. Thanx 
for making us the stickers, mate !

STYLE
The music section of Style called TBB(The Beating Brothers) is living in this
area. The only member who is only working for Style is Blue Angel. The others 
are just musicians from other groups in this area who sometimes support Style
I think there is nothing special to mention about them.

ADEPT
This  group is mainly situated  in Osnabrueck. They  have two quite  talented
coders (Scampy and Kruemel), but  their gfx and sounds  and their swapping is 
nothing special. In  my opinion the main  disadvantage of  this group is that
they are quite arrogant. At  the moment I don't see  any possibility for them
to become famous, because  they now have no reason  to be anymore in war with
Adept Sweden because these guyz joined Horizon (hi Stranger).

ACTION
Action is  also one  of the upcoming  groups in this region. TSM, their HQ is
doing his job well and they also got some more members  in the last time. The 
Panic-Action  meetings are always big  fun. People most times  present are me
and Dr.Headcrash/Panic, TSM and Blackthorne/Action and  probably some others.
At the moment Action is in  cooperation with VAMPS, but Vamps  don't have any
members  in this area. TSM told  me that Vamps are nearly  dead and that they 
will join Action then but I don't know whether this is true or not!

COMA
This group  consists of ex-members from  Exage, Antares and  some other guyz.
After some starting problems (demo made with RSI-Demomaker, bad comic-intro),
they released a really good vectordemo made by Mad Butcher. I don't know very
much about them,  but I think that  their main-problem is  that they have too
much unproductive members.

Well, I think that these are all more or  less important groups in this area.
I hope that I haven't forgotten  anyone important! Like  everywhere here  are
also dozens of  gambling lamers but  we can't all be sons of the lord (haha)!
At  last I want to say  that this report just  represents my  own opinion! If
your opinion is different, I can only say: I don't care!!!

THE SCENE REPORT ABOUT SANDEFJORD/NORWAY                       (NICK/CAVEMEN)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

ABSENCE - This group is quite cool. They make some cool packs. They have also
made two music-disks with GREAT music on. I think two of their members (Champ 
Design & Mr.Man) are some of the best in the norwegian scene. The rest of the
group is also very good, but not  as good as them. I  believe they have about 
6-7-8 members here in Sandefjord.

ANDROMEDA - My opinion   about them is  that they're  one of  Norway's  top 5 
groups! They're not so  productive, but their  productions  are always GREAT!
They have 3 members here in Sandefjord (At least I think so!) 
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, GUYS!

TRIUMPH - I haven't seen so much stuff from  this group, but they have made a
useful utility called Intuitracker, and I think this just is a great utility.
(I'm using it  right now!)  With  this utility you can  run Noisetracker  and
Soundtracker modules with multi-tasking!

Sandefjord is a small town, so I don't think it's weird that there are so few
amiga-freaks here! But, Sandefjord is one of the best scenes in Norway!!
(This is only my opinion!)

Letters to the editors (2)
--------------------------

Here's another letter, from Gully.

Hello,
               this is Gully (coder of Disk Master 3.0) writing  to you.  Well,
I'd like to send messages in your  Freedom Crack.  First of all, I'm now coding
Disk Master 4.0. So I'm  looking for  lots  of new  ideas. Here  are some, I've
think about:
               - Read Power Packed files
               - Mini editor (to edit startup and messages)
               - Move option
               - ...
               - All bugs removed
It will be great and very useful for all the  swappers (because the disk packer
won't need anything else than DM4.0).
Disk Master 3.2  hasn't been  released by Gully. In fact, it seems to be a joke
from a group because only the colour changes!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the messages about  your  utility. We  have  nothing more to say,
except that we could give you some ideas for  your Diskmaster. For example, why
don't you add a Viruskiller  also  for Link-  and  IRQ- viruses, or also for HD
viruses? It would be  great!  If  the readers  want to send their ideas or just
contact Gully, they should read his advertisement in Advertisements 8...

The year of friendship                                      By Playboy/Prologic
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment to the article  called  "Swap something else" by Raistlin  of Northstar
published  in the  latest  issue of  Freedom  Crack (Released  at Dexions party
in Odense - Denmark).
Written while  having a very serious HANGOVER. Today is the 1st of January 1991
so i guess you can all understand why.

In the year 1990 I  did alot of  swapping but the things i enjoyed the most was
swapping BEER. The beers came from all  over the world  and they contained from
about vol. 0.05% to aprox 10% of alcohol.

I hereby wish t o encourage  all you  freaks out  there to swap  beer and other
alcoholic drinks. The beers are a very familiar subject all over the globe  and
if all  swappers  can  join  together around  swapping other things  than disks
the freindship will rise again and the scene will return  to the way it was  in
the good old days.

In the good old days friendship was the main  purpose of swapping. BUT 1990 was
the year  where  swap  machines  found  the  way  to  the top under the slogan:
"Speed rules". Quite  alot of the  newcomers  in the scene have  followed their
example and  have turned  into swap  machines  who called friendship  lame  and
who thinks they are cool just because they are fast.

I am very sorry to say so, but it is my opinion that today there are only a few
of your contacts you can call true friends, and so I ask all you cool dudes out
there to make 1991 THE YEAR OF FRIENDSHIP.

Well i guess i have proved my point and I would very much like to hear from all
of you out there who agrees with me. And a final word to Raistlin of Northstar:
Cool article. I hope that you will find time to send me a letter. (Please avoid
the fish becaus e it is  really slimey), well see  you  at  the  STATIC BYTES &
PROLOGIC PARTY in Nykoebing Falster - Denmark.

Well see you all there and don't forget  1991 - THE YEAR OF FRIENDSHIP


Formatting a PC hard disk                                By Raistlin/North Star
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  IN FACT THIS ARTICLE IS JUST  A LITTLE TIP. IF YOU  HAVE  BOUGHT FOR  EXAMPLE
LIKE ME A FILECARD 42 MBYTES YOU WILL HAVE MANY PROBLEM WITH THIS. SO FOLLOW MY
INSTRUCTIONS, GIVEN ANYWHERE IN ANY SPECIFIC DOCUMENTATION...
  FORMATTING A HARD DISK IS NOT EASY  AND FAST, SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE AT LEAST 3
OR 4 SWEATING HOURS IN FRONT OF YOUR MONITOR, JUST GIVE UP. IF YOU WANT TO
REPARTITION THE HARD DISK, DO LIKE THIS:

      - MAKE BACKUPS OF BOTH AMIGA AND PC HARD DISK
      - BOOT PC FROM DISK
      - REMOVE PC PARTITION AND AMIGA PARTITION WITH THE PROGRAMS CALLED
        FDISK AND JDISK.
      - REPLACE THEM WITH DESIRED SIZES (FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU WANT 10
        MEGABYTES JUST ASK FOR (10*1000)/512 BLOCKS)
      - RESET THE AMIGA SYSTEM
      - INSERT YOUR HD BOOT-DISK AND BREAK CLI. THEN TYPE:
            - BINDDRIVERS
            - DJMOUNT
      - ALWAYS CANCEL WHEN THERE'S A REQUESTER (NON DOS,ETC...)
      - LOAD DISKMONPRO OR SUCH A GOOD DISK MONITOR WITH DEVICES
      - FORMAT A 3.5 DISK WITH THE FORMAT OPTION
      - LOAD 24 TRACKS (=12 CYLINDERS) FROM $30000 TO $7DFF0
      - TRY TO VIEW ASCII, YOU WILL SEE MANY 'DOS.'
      - THEN UNDER DISKMONPRO, WRITE OVER HD TRACKS FROM THE NUMBERS
        INDICATED IN THE DEVICE INFO, AND REPEAT THIS FOR ALL THE TRACKS.
      - RUN DISKDOCTOR FROM CLI
      - REINSTALL YOUR BACKUP FROM AMIGA
      - FORMAT YOUR PC HARDDISK WITH THE 'FORMAT' COMMAND UNDER MSDOS.
      - REINSTALL YOUR PC BACKUP
      - THAT'S ALL

  I KNOW THIS  IS A LONG  METHOD BUT AT LEAST  IT WORKS. SOME  PEOPLE OUT THERE
MIGHT THINK: WHY THE  FUCK DIDN'T HE USE  THE FORMAT  COMMAND FROM CLI? ANSWER:
TRY IT, THE SYSTEM WILL  SEEK TO DEATH THE HD TRACK 0...I USED ALL MY UTILITIES
BUT ONLY THIS  METHOD  WORKED...DON'T USE PROGRAMS MADE  FOR GVP  HARDDISKS, IT
WON'T WORK TOO.  ANYWAY, I DON'T  TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY  WITH WHAT YOU CAN DO
WITH YOUR HD. ENJOY M8S!!!


Amiga Bridgeboard Review                                  By Raistlin/Northstar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Lots of  people wonder and  don't really know what such a card can do. That's
why I'm writing this article!
  Two kinds of PC cards  exist: the XT and the AT. With standard processors the
XT is  running 4.77 Mhz, and  the AT  is much  faster  with 8  Mhz.  The  block
emulator  includes also a  disk drive. It's a  360 Kb for XT and 1.2 Mb for AT.
Both are full  compatibles - I mean  that the 360 Kb  disks  are  running  into
1.2 Mb drives. Both cards are also CGA (4 colors in lores).
  But what people wonder is not that. What can you do with these cards and how?
  The  main advantage  is that  both  emulate a real PC  and you don't have any
problem about  compatibility. It  takes about 20  seconds of  loading  under WB
and then a  PC-Window  appears with  some options  like colors, border, cursor,
and some useful copy and  paste tools (You can  transfer text between the Amiga
and PC).
  Some  people  think  that  they  can  use the 5.25 PC drive  for the Amiga...
Unfortunately it's  totally wrong. Even  if I'm sure it could be possible to do
it, there's actually no program able to do it.
  What  is important  with  this  emulator is  that you  can  run  multitasking
between  WorkBench and PC-Window.  The speed is a  bit lower  but it's like you
open another utility or icon...You  easily calculate  a ray-tracing image under
Amiga (Not under PC of course!!!)  and work  under  whatever you  want under PC
(Why not a game ???).
  The PC 5.25  and  Amiga  drives easily work  together  multitasking. The only
problem  remains with  the hard disk  if you have one. You  can't easily switch
C: and DH0:. Even  if doesn't crash, it  may be a bit  stressing if you have to
use programs that automatically  save data on the same hard disk. On the  other
hand, there's absolutelly no problem in formatting HD with partitions.
  One more question people ask:
- Do the games work normally???
- Yeah!!!
  They even work faster that normal if you run XT games under the AT emulation!
Do you  believe me if I tell you  that Indy 500 AT  is faster and more playable
under PC??? It's true! Lotsa 3D games are very fast with beautiful animation!
Of course you'll still have  the lame 4  colors with CGA, but  if you buy a VGA
you'll be able to see the same colors (Ahem...Nearly,...) as the Amiga!
  Personally, I bought this  such a card because  it was sold together with the
A2000, and  I  thought  I'd sell it to buy  an expansion...I didn't  because  I
discovered that many PC programs are  much better that  Amiga ones. Of  course,
there's no demos...Hehe...and people  on PC  is very lame  too! But you buy the
card and the people!
  In the hope this crap of text shone  and will remove all  the wrong ideas you
had in your mind!!! Write me if you have any comment for this article. Thanx!

A FEW SMALL THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SCENE                     By A-Ha/Resolution 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In  the  last ten  days, while  looking at newest demos I was sent, I noticed a
very strange thing:  almost  one  half  of  the  demos  being released, even by
top  named  groups,  are  simply  deja-vu.  Think about it  for  a minute:  how
many  sinus  scrollers,  how  many  copper-fields, how  many parallax stars and
how many equilizers  have you  seen  last  week?  I  don't  know, but  I  think
they are too many.  The  point  is this:  you  say the  word  Demo  stands  for
Demonstration, and it wont  be me proving  you're wrong.  But what are  you  to
demonstrate? Programming skills, musical orgasms, multi-planed graphisms?
Well,  the  Seka,  the  Noisetracker and  a DPaint will do for these three.  So
why compiling and packing?  Any demo is expected to be looked at.  You  type in
scrolltexts, you draw graphics, you write ultra fast  realtime calcs,  you even
make a few beeps to attract  the  users'  attention.  You  don't want people to
boot up your demo, look at it  for some  10 seconds  and then press left mouse,
do you?  So why does people write superb masterpieces of coding, but write them
all alike?  I think the best demos ever are the ones telling us a story.  No, I
wont make no names, I dont think it would be fair  of me.  But  all the same, I
love those cartoon-style demos that really catch your eyes and your heart even
if they look  nothing  more  than  a  simple  DPaint  ANIM... Well, let's say a
complex DPaint ANIM.  Good  demos are  also  the  ones in which you user can do
something, and I do not mean changing  scroll  speed or  background tune. No, I
neither  mean  fucking  your  enemy crew  through  joystick  waggling. I know a
playable demo is maybe more complex to code, but it's better coding a good demo
part than a shit megademo, isn't it? We are spending the best days of our lives
in front of a CRT screen. Why not spending them right?


CALLING CARDS - AT LAST, IN ITALY TOO!               By Zendick/Resolution 101
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calling from public telephones  without using a bunch  of coins or cards  that
last not more than 10.000  lira.  At last,  in Italy too is  born a  telephone
credit  card,  that  lets  you call  from  public telephones without  spending
anything at the moment.   The bill comes out  every two months, together  with
the  standard  telephone  bill.  Now it's  about four  months since  when  SIP
(Italy's public  telephone company)  started this  service, and  20.500  cards
have been sold.
Who buys them? Hard to say, but maybe people who travel  a lot and very  often
call  from  public  telephones,  the  most for long  distance or international
calls.  The same can be said  about the other  cards on sale in France, UK and
Germany;  if you look  at  the table  above, you'll  find a  comparation among
them.   Well,  of course  we  in  Europe  can't  match  the  American  way  of
telephoning,  where pretty  everybody  now has such cards. But all the same in
1988  France  Telecom  sold  600.000  cards  all  at  once  as  soon as it was
available.
SIP  makes  you  pay  12.000  lira  per year for the card, and then 250 lira +
VAT on every call you originate using the card.  So, it would be foolish using
it for a short distance call that would only cost 200 lira; on the other hand,
it is of course useful  on long distance high cost calls.  At this moment, the
public telephones  accepting this card are 25.000, about 26% of the total, but
they are to increase soon.
The card gives you more  facilities:  you will be able  to call outside  Italy
just by dialing 15  (170  outside Europe)  and then your card's no.  and  your
secret code.  You will  be able  to use this  method also to call  Italy  from
more than 30 foregin countries.  If you want  any call you make to be  patched
on your bill, you will have to  pay 35 lira + VAT per call. But  surprises are
not over.  Comma 6 of the buyers  contract says  that SIP can ask you for some
money in advance for your calls.  Carlo  delle Piane,  responsible for  public
calling, says that this means you have to  pay 50.000 lira a  year in  advance
if you buy it outside your telephone zone.  Also, if you use it over a certain
limit, you will be asked for even more money  in advance. This kind  of limits
exist in other countries too.  With the  british 'Changecard' you  can't spend
more than 99 pounds a day; with  'Carte Pastel' you cant  originate more  than
170 calls a year. At least, Italian cards are pretty cheap: the German have to
pay 42.000 lira a year as a tax, and the English from 450 to 600 lira more per
call.

COMPARING FOUR CARDS:
ITALY:  You can buy it from your  telephone agency or  by mail,  costs  12.000
lira per year and charges 250 lira + VAT on  every call, no matter  how  long.
FRANCE:   The   'Carte Pastel'  is  distribuited  by  France  Telecom.  It  is
available  in three ways:   International  (60 FF a year), National (40 FF) or
Selection (40 FF); this lets you call only  a  fixed list of  numbers  both in
France or abroad.  Nothing else is due.
UK:  the 'Changecard'  is distribuited by France Telecom. It costs nothing but
20 pence if you originate the call  from a digital phone or 30 pence if you do
it from an old one and you have to pass through an operator.
GERMANY:  the 'Telecard' is distribuited by Bundes Telecom. It costs 20 DM and
then 3 DM every month.  You dont have charges on single calls.

THOSE GOODFELLAS IN ITALIAN POLICE: VARESE-COMO         By A-Ha/Resolution 101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everybody told us we live in a free state. Everybody told us violence is out of
our lives, that it  is  just a  piece  of our nature we have left behind. So we
think about the police as  about  a few  smart  guys who  help grannies walking
across the street and to whom you may ask  information about streets and so on.
Then you go to a third-division  football match, and you find out another point
of view.

Varese and Como are  two  nearby towns  in northern  Italy, and  their football
teams play the same division. Hooligans from these towns hate each other a real
bunch, and so when they  play one  against the other  there is a load of police
around. I know a guy who is in the  Varese supporters  and who told me a little
story. Well, he was going into the  playfield  passing  over the  nets together
with a few others when the police  arrived. They started beating  real bad with
those steel and rubber bats, and my friend was hit in his back, in a leg and in
his shoulder. A friend of his saved  him pulling  him up  out of the playfield,
but some other unlucky guys had to run away as  they could, not  to get hit too
bad. He saw a few policemen beating a guy who had  already  fallen  down to the
floor, and beating him with a rifle butt in his face! Then after the match came
two helicopters, and they launched tear-gas. One of  those tear-gas  bombs fell
nearby my friend, and he took it with  his hand to  throw it away. He burnt his
fingers. Then people started  running away  and everybody  started  rushing and
pushing to the gates, and ofcourse they were closed. Thanks God they broke down
and so people could  run away,  because  else  there  could  have been somebody
injured really bad.

I  dont mean my  friend was right, because  hooligans did a load of damage. But
are we sure there is no better way than  unconditional violence to keep violent
young dudes under control? I mean, violence  by the police causes more violence
by the hooligans that causes in  itself more violence  by the police. Now going
to any football, basketball or hockey  match means undergo examination by a few
policemen. What will be in the  future? A  lot  of people  don't go  anymore to
matches for the risk of getting hit  by somebody. I think sport is great, but I
dont like getting into a war zone every  time  I  wanna  see a few guys playing
with a ball. What do you think about this?

Interview with Silkie of Cerberos                           By Filippetto/Vega
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cerberos are one of the most famous crews from Hungary. You all know that just
1 year ago the hungarian scene was very little, but now it's getting bigger
and bigger... Here's a short interview with Silkie of Cerberos. He usual does
gfx but he also is a swapper.

- So, here we are. Tell me something about your group (members, aims...)
- Well, Cerberos woz founded during the summer of 1990. Our first success was
  the 1st prize at the Chromance-party in Hungary, there we presented 3 demos
  for the competition, and they've pumped us up to the top. At the moment we
  have about 10 members.

- Do a quick review of the scene there in Hungary...
- Our scene started to awake only about a half year ago, but nowadays there
  are lotsa good groups keeps alive the home scene. The most powerful ones
  are: Majic 12, Chromance, 23 Celsius Crew, Soc. Brigade, Grace, V.I.P.,
  Northstar Hungary, Live Act and ofcoz Cerberos. The others are still
  beginners (he-he).

- And tell me sumthin'bout the girlies in Hungary...
- Yep, what to say, they're lovely as everywhere! Oh, but there is a big
  difference compared to other girls: the hungarian girlies can speak
  hungarian! (Don't kill me pleez...just a lame joke!)

- You, like me, hate the fuckin' lame school. Why? And why don't we found an
  organisation with Mafia or sumthin' like that to throw a bomb over our
  school?
- Ya know, I hate school coz I hate that when brainless shitheads (teachers..)
  are trying to command me! (Yeah, I'm a rebel...) And really, if may I ask,
  why don't we use bombs?
  (Ed: If you're reading and you're interested in supplying bombs or missiles,
  contact us: you do it for a right cause!)

- Back to the Amiga. What's your favourite drink? (No, just kidding). What
  kind of projects does Cerberos have for the future?
- In the near future we'll seriously activate ourselves in the game-business,
  but ofcoz we'll keep up our name in the scene too! You asked 'bout my
  favourite drink: hmm...I prefer fresh blood!

- Some latest words to say/people to greet-fuck?
- At first best wishes to all the editors and readers of Freedom Crack,
  especially you, Filippetto, for interviewing such an idiot like me! (He-he)
  I don't want to make commercial for lamers by sending fuckings here. And at
  last, remember that great guy, who firstly said something like: frienship
  rulez! Cerberos, the guardian of the hell!

Thanx to Silkie of Cerberos for the interview!


Letters to the editors
----------------------
This is a letter from Richard/Whitestar:
HI...I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD WRITE TO YOUR MAGAZINE TO EXPRESS A FEW POINTS THAT
MUST BE PISSING OFF QUITE A FEW AMIGA OWNERS OF LATE.
   
         1..WHY IS THE SCENE BECOMING SO SERIOUS
         2..WHY ARE PEOPLE BEING SO ELITEIST
         3..WHY ISN'T YOUR MAG AT THE TOP OF THE EURO CHARTS?
         4..WHY DID THE TITANIC SINK

FIRST I'LL DEAL WITH POINT ONE. I THINK THAT THE  AMIGA SCENE IS  HEADING FOR A
COMMUNICATION CALAMITY.  SURELY  THERE IS  ENOUGH ROOM  IN  THE AMIGA WORLD FOR
EVERYBODY. I AM SICK  AND  TIRED OF SEEING THE WORDS ELITE ONLY NEED APPLY. AND
WHY DO WE  SEE THESE  WORDS ON  SO  MANY  BOARDS, ADDRESSES,  ADVERTS ETC?  ITS
BECAUSE  PEOPLE  THINK  THAT  JUST  BECAUSE THEY'VE BROUGHT OUT A FEW COMPACTS,
DEMOS ETC THAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS LAME.  WELL  GUYS  I'VE GOT  NEWS FOR YOU THIS
KIND OF SELECTIVE ELITEISM CAN ONLY BRING ABOUT THE END OF WHAT  HAS BECOME THE
BEST COMPUTER SCENE  THAT  THE  WORLD HAS  EVER  SEEN. JUST TAKE  A LOOK AT THE
QUALITY OF DEMOS THESE  DAYS, I FOR ONE AM ALWAYS AMAZED BY THE TOP CLASS DEMOS
THAT ARE ALWAYS ARRIVING  ON  THE  SCENE, SO MUCH TALENT. BUT GUYS DON'T FORGET
THAT THESE GUYS HAD TO LEARN SOMETIME  AND  WE  WERE ALL  LAMERS AT ONE TIME OR
ANOTHER JUST DON'T FORGET: FRIENDSHIP WILL ALWAYS RULE.
POINT TWO REALLY GOES ALONG WITH POINT ONE BUT I'VE A FEW  MORE WORDS TO SAY ON
THE SUBJECT. DO YOU REMEMBER  IN 1939  WHEN SOMEBODY  THOUGHT  THAT HE WOULD BE
ELITE AND BREED AN ELITE RACE? LOO K WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. WHAT IT REALLY BOILS
DOWN TO IS THIS... COOL IT GUYZ...COS  IF YOU DON'T AND YOU KEEP DISCRIMINATING
AGAINST THE LESS TALENTED THEN YOU'RE GOING TO FIND YOURSELVES IN A MINORITY...
KEEP WRITING A GREAT  MAG.  I  LOOK  FORWARD  TO NUMBER 5...IF ANYBODY WANTS TO
WRITE TO ME THEN CONTACT IS ON....
                                     RICHARD HOUGHTON WHITE STAR
                                     3 CATCHPOLE WALK
                                     DICKLEBURGH
                                     NR DISS,NORFOLK
                                     ENGLAND
                                     IP21 4NX
EVERYBODY WELCOME. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEND A DISK. FRIENDSHIP ONLY.
PS: THE TITANIC SANK BECAUSE IT HIT AN ICEBERG...HI TO GRAYZOR OF SLIPSTREAM!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah,  here  answering is  Filippetto. Ok, we're agree with you about frienship
and so on. Anyway we think  that not  all the  elite  groups are discriminating
against the non-elite ones. And all the  groups that are actually non-elite can
get a chance to become  elite, or just  to  enter the scene. For example coding
a demo... Personally I  answer  to  all  letters  with  disks  coz  I'm  not  a
diskstealer  and  I  also  support  the  friendship movement, but remember that
sometimes the groups  don't have enough  time  to answer  to all the people and
this not coz they're discriminating against them  but  just  coz  they  haven't
time! Of course big groups have  priority  over  the  little ones, but  this is
a normal fact of the scene. Otherwise it would be a nonsense...


A new style of music...                                     By Filippetto/Vega
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The  Amiga  scene  grows  every day, and much people like to compose music with
the  most  famous  programs  like  Noisetracker,  Startrekker, Future Composer,
Sidmon  and others. In most  cases the songs  are similar,  expecially the bass
patterns  and the melodies. The  used chords  are always major and minor simple
chords, and  this in my  opinion is a big limit  for the Amiga music. The funny
thing is that it doesn't  depend  on the Amiga  hardware limit, but on the lack
of fantasy of the  musicians. Of course it could be a problem of musical tastes
and  influences, but  anyway in  my  opinion there are just a few musicians who
tried to make  a  change to t hese Amiga-music s tandards, for example Bruno of
Gate, Nightlight  of  Kefrens, Walkman  of CRB, Romeo  Knight of RSI  and Zzzax
of Timecircle  plus others... Now why don't you try to change the style of your
music? If you  always put major and minors chords but you would like to change,
here there are a few tips to help ya.

- If  you  know  music, you should  know that  there are some really suggestive
  chords  like 7+,  m7,  7/9, 7/5b, and  also 6. Now  you have  many chances to
  create  such  chords. The first  and best  way is  to digitize  them directly
  from  a  keyboard  like M1, T3, D10  and so on. With this system you can have
  also  the  sound  you  prefer  coz  of course you can digitize the chord with
  piano, strings, synths and so on.
  If  you don't  have the chance  to digitize  chords, the  most  used  way  is
  generally  to  use  the  usual  major  and  minor chords  in a different way.
  This  way  is  to  change  the  bass  pattern.  For  example, if  you  have a
  sequence with:

   Bass    Chord
   E       E maj
   F       F maj

  Try to change it into:

   Bass    Chord
   E       E maj
   E       F maj

  And  you  will see that  the  obtained  sound  is  strange but effective, and
  different. With this system,  used both  with major and minor chords, you can
  obtain many particular  chords: m7, 7+  and so  on. With the combination of 2
  chords and the bass you will have even more choices.

- To  make  an  incisive tune  you  should take  care of the rhythm section. So
  try  to  make "real"  drum  sequences with  many fill-ins and with accents in
  the hi-hat  sequences. Even  better  if  you  add crashes,  rides  and  toms.
  Also  the  bass  sequence should  be very  good. Try to  balance low and high
  notes in the  sequence,  and  never  make  sequences like E-1 --- E-1 --- E-1
  --- E-1 --- and so  on.  Try  to  change  the space  between 1  note and  the
  following so to obtain a various sequence.

                                               (continues in next article)

(continues from previous article)

  Moreover,  if you use a normal  or a fretless bass for the bass sequence, try
  to  put volume slides, sudden stops (turn the volume to 0 with the C command)
  and note slides so to obtain fretless effects.

- For the  melody, you can make a singable part generally with some synths, but
  there are  lots  of  ways of making the melody. Also in the melody the volume
  and note  slides are  very important. The most  difficult melodies to compose
  are the solo  parts, expecially  if they are made  with guitar. The guitar is
  really difficult to imitate with keyboards, and particularly with the Amiga!

- If you make chip music, the best  way to make a different style is to use the
  major and minor chords as  explained in point 2. You have not many chances to
  compose an exciting music, but anyway it can be an interesting tune.

These  were my  opinions and tips about all  the Amiga music. I listen to a lot
of music and I also play drums in a  funky group, so I use to listen to lots of
chords  and I  think  that  Amiga  is not  a limit  if you're a really creative
musician.  Anyway  if  you're  a  musician  and  you  want  to  swap  songs  or
experiences, just  write to me. You find the address  in the addresses article,
since I'm the main editor here (hehe)...

TO WHAT THE SCENE WENT TO!                               (Hellraiser/Defcon 1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Folx! This  is Hellraiser of  Defcon One  writing an article about the Amiga
in the earlier years and today. Surely all  guys who have their Amiga 2 or more
years know the good old Amiga  times. There  were only a few groups on this ma-
chine. Some like: Bamiga Sector  One & The Kent Team, Red Sector Inc., Hotline,
HQC etc. Of course there were also some unknown freaks. These guys mostly play-
ed games and they weren't able or couldn't do  some action with their computer.
As they got bored by playing almost the  same games, they put their money toge-
ther and went  into  their local software shop. As  they saw the high prices of
the  computer  programms they  run out  with a  heart attack  and breathing for
fresh air. Because of  not enough money  they got the idea to swap with some of
their friends in town or outside.They all  knowed themselfes and had a very hot
and cool time on this machine. Suddenly  the Amiga got famous and more and more
freaks sold their old computers to  buy a new one. This was the point where the
real Amiga  scene was  born. There  also came some cracker and demo groups wich
released some  cool warez. And  again more and  more people bought an Amiga and
the men wanted  to get an image  as like the  cracker and demo crews. They said
that if they had the newest  and best stuff  they would get a better and higher
image. So, these  guys  only  wanted  to be the  fastest and bought cracks from
the cracker groups. The friendship was lost. The  swappers only wrote small and
short letters,coz they hadn't got time. They  all wanted to be the fastest. The
first wars between some groups  appeared and the scene was growing and growing.
Big groups sold their releases  to the stupid lamers who used their whole money
to buy some games. Now we are at the same point. The  most groups only know one
word. This word  is 'BUSINESS'. The groups sometimes  relase 5 different cracks
and only one of them is  working 100 percent! There  are also  some new things,
like the modems. Every third (ex)-mailtraider  is buying his own modem  to  get
the stuff as fast as possible. I have nothing  against fast imports, but I will
ask ya know: 'Where the hell is the friendship ?'. The small groups put rumours
about the famous groups in the world. Only because they hadn't had the success.
I hope that ya guys outthere will  think about the text. We have to do anything
against those guys who destroy the scene. And please remember that it's so stu-
pid to try to make 'PEACE' with a 'WAR'! Quality before quantity!

Well, here we are again. As you  maybe know, some  changes happened. The german
section of Amaze is  dead, Bomber and Pinhead joined Anarchy and I (Filippetto)
founded a new group called Vega. So since I am the main editor of this magazine
I decided to continue the publishing under the new label. This time we received
a lot of articles! So we  thank you a lot for your cooperation. Due to the high
number of articles we received, it wasn't  possible  to put them  all  in  this

see I did some  improvements in the  coding,  but I'm thinking  to  change more
things in the next issue. Of course your opinions and tips also about the mag's
design and coding are accepted...

The rules to receive  the  mag  changed. This  bcoz  since  the  last  issue  I
(Filippetto) received  something like  50  extra disks  but had to pay a lot of
money to send back the magazine to all people who  ordered  it. So from now the
new rules are:
                            - Send 1 checked disk,
                              your address and

                              ** To send articles **
Write  articles  with a  Text  editor like TxEd, QEd,  Cygnus or something like

searching for good  article  writers  and  cool guys who can write articles but
also reports, interviews and tips and want to join our staff.

                ** To send advertisements/job offers-requests **
Advertisements and job offers-requests are  free. We  prefer  advertisements on
disk, designed with a text editor.  Note  that in this issue some adverts havent
been published for some reasons like unreadable handwriting. So here  are  some
hints...
                         - If you send a paper advert,
                           write with a readable handwriting
                         - Never send advertisements for
                           selling games and VHS movies! Only
                           swapping!

That's all... Signed: your editors

PISS UP!                 By Magic Mushroom of Crack UK and Gonzo of Liquid Gold
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HELLO! THIS IS A QUICK STORY OF OUR EXPLOITS OF COOL PISS UPS!   ITS GOT NOW TO

OVER!!!! NEXT TIME MY MUM AND DAD  GO AWAY  WE WILL HOLD A SEQUEL PARTY TO THIS
AND IT WILL BE EVEN BETTER!!

IBM...Poeha or Serious???             By The Fox/Pussy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Advantages and disadvantages of IBM contra AMIGA

In this article there will be  some  advantages  and disadvantages of IBM's and
Amiga's given. It is  not the meaning to  give them all, because  then we would
the whole  diskmag  probably, but it is the  meaning that we give  some to make
a differenc e between those  two computers, and  then to  decide  wether IBM or
Amiga is to be quoted as the best...

Advantages of IBM

- Utilities :
  Utilities on IBM are  mostly  easier to  understand  and therefor user-
  friendlier.  It  isn't  because  IBM-utilities  are  resonnably  simple 
  that  Amiga-utilities  are  as  hard as hell to understand,  but  still
  there  is  a  difference.  Also IBM  is the abbreviation for Industrial 
  Business Machine and that makes  it  simplier to believe that there are
  more  sorts  of utilties  and that  they  are  better in a certain way.
  For  example: word-processing  is  still easier  on IBM  because almost
  every time, the IBM  word-processor uses draft-print and not gfx-print.
  The  negative  side of  this  is  of course that  there is little or no
  chance  that  you can use  more then  one font. But  on  the other hand 
  it's still simpler, specially for printing... 
  Amiga  uses  gfx-print many times  and of course there  are more possi-
  bilities but then the shit starts dripping when you have to print...

- Commands :
  On  IBM, the  shit  starts when  the computer  is switched on or when a
  reset is given. An IBM  has to check the memory  first, and then it has
  to load  all  commands before  you  can  start loading a file. Some see
  that as  a great  disadvantage,  some  as an advantage  because you can
  use all commands even when they are not on the disk itself. 
  On  Amiga, it  is seen  as  a great  job,  that  you  have  to put  the 
  commands  which  are  necessary  on the  disk  itself everytime. But if
  we want  to make  a difference  here, we should  also  look to  the way
  software is  loaded  on  IBM and  on  Amiga. On  IBM,  trackdisks don't
  exist, and  software is  loaded  at  the  prompt. On  Amiga, everything
  mostly starts whith a startup-sequence, and whith a menu.
  Like  that,  you  don't really  need commands  like dir, list,  and  so
  on,  but  you  always  need some  commands which you have to put on the
  disk itself... 

(continues in next article)

(continues from previous article)

  Also  it  would be  impossible to  load all commands whenever the three
  magic buttons are pushed on the Amiga keyboard.
  It is  very  hard  to say  which  computer, IBM  or  Amiga,  is best on
  this point of view when we keep everything in mind...
  But  still  there  is  a difference: some commands on IBM like unerase,
  unformat a disk or a harddisk, ... don't exist on Amiga...
  Also  there  is the  difference in the  time in  which  the  command is 
  executed. Asking  a  directory  of  the  files  on  an Amiga disk takes
  a resonnable time, but  on  IBM  it  appears  shortly  after giving the
  right  command.  This  is  of course  something  that  happens  because
  the  commands  on IBM  are  loaded  resident  and  on Amiga, first  the
  command has to be loaded and then it can be executed...
  Therefor, about  the  commands, I  would  say  the  IBM  is  the better 
  one...

- Prices ??:
  The  comparing  of the  prices  between  IBM  and  Amiga  is a big job.
  Not  only  because  there  are  over 1000 different  IBM's, and there's
  only one Commodore Amiga  but  also  because  the prices  of  an  Amiga 
  stays  resonnably  stable and  those of an IBM are  downing very  fast.
  Maybe  it  is  because the Amiga is  better and therefor more sold then
  IBM's  that  the prices  are downing?  But  anyway,  now  you  can  buy
  an IBM  for about 500$ (monitor included)  and  an Amiga for about 550$
  (without monitor). An  Amiga  monitor  costs about  250$  over here, in
  Belgium that is. The  problem  with  buying an IBM is  that  it is hard
  to choose a computer from  which you know it's good and which isn't too
  costy...

Disadvantages of IBM - Advantages of Amiga

- Sound:
  In  an  IBM-pack  there is a lmost never  forseen that you want to make 
  better  music  then  just  go beep-beep-beep.  And  if  you  don't want
  to  go  beep-beep  from  all the  beep-beep  that  comes  out  of  your
  IBM, you  have  to  buy an additional  sound-card!! Having in mind that
  such  a  piece  of toy costs  another 300$, you start to thing why they
  didn't do  like the  Amiga builders: just  put  a  chip  from a hi-tech
  Synthesizer  like  a Yamaha 200 in it!!  But  no, an  IBM isn't a piece
  of show; an  IBM  is serious  (hahaha)!! So,  I'd say there is a lttle,
  a big or  let's  say  a  VERY BIG DIFFERENCE  between  IBM  and AMIGA!!
  For  those of you who didn't yet understand it; I repeat:
  AMIGA-SOUND is HEAVEN's SOUND!!

(continues in next article)


(continues from previous article)

- Colours:
  Colour-card  in  IBM-packs  are  probably  banned  by  law  in Belgium,
  because  I  haven't  seen   one  pack  with  a  colour  card+monitor...
  So, the same thing counts here also: if you want them, BUY THEM.
  And  again  (I'm repeating  myself)  you  have  to  buy  an  additional
  card  AND  monitor  to  get  4, 16, or  even  256 colours (it is indeed
  strange  that  an Amiga  has a  range  of  over  4000  colours, without
  having to pay for them !!!)
  I don't  want  to  say that  IBM hasn't  got any possibility for making
  a picture, Black and White pictures can be nice too!!!
  SO, is Amiga better concerning colours??? (have a guess!!!)

- Games:
  No comment ???
  It is pretty obvious that Amiga has  better games then  IBM if you have
  read  the  upper  two  advantages  of  Amiga, don't  you  agree???  The
  possibilities  of  GFX  and  sound are so much higher then those of the
  IBM...

- Diskspace:
  The  Amiga  has  the  strange  quality  that  there is as much space on  
  a 5.25" disk  as on a 3.50" disk.  And  even  then  there is still more
  place on a Amiga disk then on a IBM-disk!!! (IBM=720K-AMIGA=835k)

So, that is about all  there is to say... But let's face it: Amiga is still the
best computer on earth.  And if we put all facts, advantages and disadvantages,
concerning IBM's on  one  row, then  they  would  better  use  them  for typing
letters!!!  I hope you liked  reading it; there are still some facts impossible
for me  to  quote (for  instance coding); but  anyway I'm saying  goobye to you
all...

DEPECHE MODE - A REVIEW                                         By A-ha/Res.101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the last  ten years,  the  Depeche Mode  published nine albums, and made
themselves a name as one of the best techno groups of the Eighties. We will now
try and make a little review of each of these masterpieces of today's music:

SPEAK AND SPELL - 1981
This was their introductory album, and is  characterized by very raw and simple
synth tracks - synths you can  now  find on  Amiga sound better than those! The
composition of almost  everything  was done by now-Erasure Vince Clarke, except
two tracks by M.Gore. Those songs sound all very much alike in the instruments,
but some of them are really good (Photographics, Just Cant Get Enough, New Life
Puppets), as some of them are nothing interesting (I Sometimes Wish.., Boys Say
Go, Nodisco). The cover photo was shot by Brian Griffin,who started then a long
to be co-op with the DM.

A BROKEN FRAME - 1982
Since Vince Clarke's departure, the  DM had  a moment of pain... In fact, songs
were always composed  by Clarke, though M. Gore  could do that too. So, when he
left off, the three  remaining  guys  wanted to  show the world that they could
live, and so refused a ready  song  Clarke  offered  them as a gift and started
working really hard. It was not  easy, because  Clarke  started the composition
works from a riff he liked, and then made it a song and added random words, and
Gore instead starts from writing the lyrics and then builds the music.The album
'starts with the real best song  on it, Leave in  Silence, which  has  a  truly
adult musical line and it's a hi quality song; it's so  far away from Speak and
Spell's songs! The album is somehow sloppy, I mean  some songs show the way the
DM will follow in future (Leave in Silence, Monument, Nothing to Fear, The Sun&
The Rainfall), other are  nothing but  hit shit  tracks (The Meaning Of Love, A
Photograph Of You). The sleeve was again designed by Brian Griffin, and won the
'Best of 1982 award.

CONSTRUCTION TIME AGAIN - 1983
During their first  world  tour,  the DM  stayed a little  in Hong Kong  and in
Bangkok. Seeing  from live  the hard  life a  load of  people do, they  started
talking about equal rights and socialism, and this  gave a very strong footstep
'to  Construction. In  fact, in at  least  six songs of this album can be found
hints about how to change the  world. This album is a  tipical example  of  the
German Industrial period of  the DM,  due to  a large use  of metallic  samples
everywhere, mixed with soft analog sounds by the Roland Jupiter 8. I think this
album is brill, and represents a stone in the musical scene of  the 1st part of
the eighties.

SOME GREAT REWARD - 1984
In this album also, a large use of samples is being done, thus making it a very
good one for guys who like it. This  album is to remember for the best songs in
it and the rumours they made  spread; in fact, the Church and other stupid guys
'fought  against Master  and  Servant (a song about submission) and Blasphemous
'Rumours (God and his sense of humour). I think  all of the tracks contained in
this album are to be remembered  and  liked, it's  for sure one of the greatest
album the Mode ever did. It had a good succeess  because it also contained easy
tracks, and everywhere but in Englad it was greatly sold. (see next article)


(continues from previous article)

THE SINGLES - 1985
In 1984, the DM announced  that  they would  not produce anything the following
year. So this is only a compo of oldies that were released previously.

BLACK CELEBRATION - 1986
Ha! Here we are! This  is the  best DM album ever. It  is  about love in the so
called space  age, and  contains  great  tracks  such as  Black  Celebration, A
Question of Lust, It  Does Not Matter 2, A Question  Of Time, Here is The House
and Dressed in Black. It also contains a song  about  how foolish the press is,
'New Dress. The most of this record is obtained  thru  analog sounds, giving it
deep and soft sounds no  sampler  can  match.  Melodies  are  complex, no  more
metallic sounds around, lyrics are introspective and the result is fab. Nothing
short of superb.

MUSIC FOR THE MASSES - 1987
The most famous song contained in  this not so good album is Never Let Me Down,
whose name was changed adding the word 'Again' due to David Bowie's song. It is
a song about friendship and LSD,and it's one of their biggest successes ever in
sales. I said that album is  not so  good because some tracks are mixed without
taking too much  care, and  that's strange  for the DM. Also,  no new ideas are
featured, except better drum tracks. Over all, not so good a production, except
Never Let Me Down Again and To Have and To Hold.

101 - 1989
This album made the DM get back to  their chart topping attitude. It registered
great sales everywhere, even in England, and  it's one of the best ever. It was
recorded live at the Pasadena Rose  Bowl on  June  18th 1988, in front of about
'80000 people. I love it because it makes  you hear the  Depeches in a far away
way from the one you are used to. Also,  it  sounds  like  the  people there in
Pasadena liked that 'live' a lot!

Violator - 1990
This is their latest album, and again it has  changed their sound. It is a very
clean album, where everything is almost perfect, and they took a lot of care on
everything. From a musical point of  view  it's  highly complex, due to today's
'best in sound generation, but the  overall result is a bit cold,  reminding me
to Speak and Spell's athmosphere. All tracks are good and  'adult',  minimal as
they  should  be  though  their  complexity  can  hardly  be  improved.  Highly
professional, but maybe not as listenable as  Black  Celebration.  Best tracks:
World In My Eyes, Personal  Jesus, Waiting  For  The  Night, Enjoy The Silence,
policy of Truth, Clean (the very best!).
That's it. Hope you  liked. If you like  the DM, or would like to swap anything
about them, feel free to contact me  under  Fermi 5, I-21100 VA, Italy. See you
all mates!

TWO MINUTES CHAT ALL PROBLEMS  SEEMED 2 B SOLVED. THE  GIRLIE FOOLED THE MAN IN

LESS DRUNKEN SIGN MEMBERS LIKE ANUS, HITCHER, HERPES, ANARCHO AND ROBSI! I  WAS
JUST SURPRISED ABOUT THEIR REALLY PRETTY  DRESSES (HEY  ANARCHO, I HAVEN'T SEEN
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DRESSED MONSTER B4). EVERYBODY  IN THE  BEST LOOK. JUST  2 HAD

OUTSIDE THE HOTEL (PARTY TOOK  PLACE IN A  HOTEL) AGAIN.  THIZ PARTY WAS REALLY
GREAT FUN! WE ALSO  THOUGHT  ABOUT  VISITING THIZ PARTY  NEXT YEAR  WITHOUT ANY
CLOTHES!!???

ABOUT DICK TRACY                                             By Nikeman/Res.101
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warren Beatty and his  rich crew of actors  has landed  in Venice at  the movie
competition of the homonymous city,presenting his last masterpiece, inspired by
the wellknown comic character: Dick Tracy. Well there isn't much  to say  about
the famous  jaw-squared  detective, the leading  character of the  lucky  comic
series born in the States in 1931.  On  the contrary  the movie has been widely
criticized, not  only  by  the refined  audience  of  Venice, but also  by  the
connoisseurs of the environment of  the cinema, that have  given  prominence to
the brightly evidence that this movie has been carried out with very low costs.
Warrenboy has infact substituted D. Tracy's spitfire  with a  spitdollars: just
consider that the film has been shot  in just two  months and not  in  seven as
affirmed by Beatty and that there aren't  any  type of  mastodontic scenography
like in Spielberg's or Disney's prods,the plot is  set infact  in a  few rooms.
The  movie  presents  some  modern  innovations:  it  has been  shot using a BW
film that has been subsequently  colored  with the  help of the  computer, just
with four colors avoiding the  intermediate  dyes  for which the cost is rather
high. The  result is that Beatty has more success as an  accountant  than as an
actor, he has calculated infact  that  he  will  totally  regain the  amount of
money  spent for the production of the film in the 1st four hours of projection
of his movie. The  expense is  nearly of 30 mls of dollars but the real expense
for the movie is only of 10 milions  of dollars the  other import was spent for
the actors  and  the advertisement. Another  indicative data is that Mr. Beatty
has  already  gained  over  250  millions of  dollars  for  the  booking of the
original videotapes of "Dick Tracy". Nevertheless  Warren Beatty doesn't appear
like the real main charater, infact the presence in the movie of two stars like
Al Pacino and Madonna contrast the brightness of Dick Tracy, we have infact the
same situation in Batman, where the part  of the  antagonist  performed  by the
great Jack Nicholson was  more  brillant  of  the main one performed by Michael
Keaton. In my opinion the  movies like this, should  be censured, cinema is not
yet the voice and the manifestation of an artistic inspiration but only a great
bargain for the producers. There're  many interesting and unknown movies around
the world, and it's  real simple to find then: it  is  sufficent  to ignore the
stupid  advertisements  of  these  kinds  of film  and look  for good movies by
ourselves, because the movies that have been widely advertised aim only to have
good takings and not to  communicate  something. So try to be a bit critic also
before entering the cinema.
