 T: Hallo Trotsky!

 T: Hallo!


 T: Would you mind if I interview you for Deadlock 9?

 T: Well, I don't know this just  sounds  like a cheap way to get publicity and
    get better known in the scene.

 T: Oh, come on, you can trust me!

 T: Why?


 T: Because I'm you!

 T: But aren't I supposed to be interviewed by, like, a scene person?

     The only other music  disk  I  have  seen  in  recent  times  is this one.
 Although it is produced by almost  the  same people as Extemporized, it failed
 to impress me quite as much.  The  tunes  all  seem to be very much background
 music, even  veging  on  to  (dare  I  say  it?)  sup

     Well, this is the first production I have seen by a newish UK group called
 Cyberdreams.  As most of  you  know,  the  UK  is  just  about  dead as far as
 productivness goes so I was looking forward to  seeing a UK demo for once.  My
 hopes were quickly killed when I  loaded  it.  To  put  it bluntly this is the
 digital equivilent of vomit.

     When I first recieved this I got an  errored copy, now I found this out as
 it was loading because a kinda  familiar  requester  appeared, it was the AMOS
 PRO requester!  Har har!  A demo done in Amos?  Are they serious?  Well when I
 finally got a proper copy of it  I  was  quite surprised at what the coder had
 achieved with Amos.

     It starts up with a reasonable  techno-ish  tune, this is quickly followed
 by some okay

     This demo is yet  another  from  that  talented  coder  Dr Skull/FLT/VD so
 expectations were running very high when  this  was released, the question is,
 did it live up to peoples' expectations?

     Well, after a rather long time loading the demo starts up with an absolute
 stormer of a tune by Jogeir/FLT/VD.  Then  a  poem  of some kind is typed onto
 the screen in time with the beats

Propaganda #4



by Jedi/Narcosis



     Yes, it's yet another  foreign  diskmag,  but  is it any good?  Well, YES!
 The mag is produced by  the  well  know  fun  lovin' Swedish group RAZOR 1911.
 Because they are Swedish I expected  a  cheesy  old RAW clone with some boring
 (and poorly written articles) and  possibly  a  bland  backing  track if I was
 lucky, so expecting the worst I loaded it up...

     Right, it comes on one disk and

The Jungle #6 by X-Trade



by Cyborg/Narcosis



     First of all, The Jungle, previously produced by Damian, is now an X-Trade
 production.  The Jungle team of Damian (Blitter  and J-walker, - I think) left
 Damian because the group members were  lazy  and  the Jungle was not recieving
 any support from them.

     Anyway, Blitter is the main editor and there are several other co-editors.
