Interview with Slaine
He's proved to be something more than just a new talent, and his works already made him 'earn' two consecutive 'Picture of the Month' awards in these very same pages, a result that nobody had achieved before.

Interview with Tyshdomos
He's member of one of the deepest groups of the scene. He got the 7th place at the party IV gfx competition. His handle is the second most unpronounciable one after Posdnuos. Who is he? He's TYSHDOMOS of ABYSS and we thought it was a good idea to interview him. Find out if we were right... Since almost one year I'm 17 years old. I still go to school and got no idea what I could do after leaving it. A lazy guy without motivation. Scene career? well, it doesn'... read more

Release Reviews
Review on Dice
DICE by BIZARRE ARTS Code by Azure Gfx by Fiver Music by Antibrain We're not sure if this intro deserved the first prize, as the second is not much distant as quality from this one. But it's overall a good intro, that offers some nice bitmapped vectors and much else...
Review on Alien Inspiration
ALIEN INSPIRATION by PASSION Code by Bogeyman Gfx by Blizzart Music by Subject Confirming the good impression he had aroused with his Nitte!, his 2nd placer at The Party 4 , Boogeyman gave us another proof of his capacities by releasing this new demo featuring some nice effects. The only things this demo seem really lacks are better gfx and a bit of originality. As many other demos released in these days, it seems be infected from the 'recycle old ideas, and put bitmap an... read more

Review on Dansktoppen 4 1/2
DANSKTOPPEN 4.5 by PASSION Following the way RAW and the same Thing introduces some months ago, here's the issue 4.5 of this national chart, which has got a pretty good popularity also outside his country. Compared to the previous issues there aren't big changes, although the overall layout is decidely far better now. It would be nice to improve the mag-part, by increasing the presence of articles written in english. But apart from that, there are no doubts, this... read more
Review on Dreamwalker
DREAMWALKER - Review Code by Joy, Sputnik Gfx by Imperator, Python, Grid Musics by Dreamer For the pleasure of all his supporters around, here appear the first songs-collection by DREAMER, an artist that only recently, after his excellent second placer at the Party IV, has seemed to have found the way to gain more popularity also outside from his country. It's certainly him the star of this production, signed by several polish grops, which at first sight,... read more
Review on Generation X
GENERATION X by HAUJOBB Code by Drf Gfx by Peachy, Wawe Music by Dascon, Jazz It needs 4 megs of fast-memory, but that wouldn't be a big problem as good as the demo is. The fact is that this demo doesn't probably deserves such a big amount of memory. The only aspect of this demo worth of a mention is probably the graphics, the rest is nothing you could remember tomorrow. Most of the effects are deja-vu and moreover linked with a music of the kind 'heard 100 times befo... read more
Review on Grapevine 21
GRAPEVINE issue #21 released under LSD label main edited by PAZZA Yep, just the last one main-edited by Pazza, and thus makes me feeling a bit sad. I'm not joking as I followed him since the first issues, when the zine was less more than a chart released in just one file. Do you remember the old times eh? Luckily our old mate will still be present among the pages of his creature. Greetings, old pap!... read more
Review on Green Day
GREENDAY by ARTWORK (AGA) HD -only- Code by Tron, Crash Gfx by Fiver, Noogman Music by Virgill Excellent first place for this new german team, which has all the 'right' members to give us in future other productions of this quality. Tron's code is nice, but nothing original, just some improvement of his famous old routines. The music by Virgill really well fits the demo, and it was nice to discover how this guy is still able to give us some superb demo-tunes.... read more
Review on Hydrocephalus II
HYDROCEPHALUS II by EQUINOX (AGA) Code by Vip'n'Ray Gfx by Sauron Music by Cyntex After years of wait, Equinox decide it was time to give a sequel to an old hit of them, Hydrocephalus, which we guess a few of you out there might remember about. The problem is that although they began to think and to work about that 2 or 3 years ago, they managed to release it only today. For that reason, the whole demo turned out to be an unsuccessful mix of old & new, new & old.. One word... read more
Review on Jobbo
INTRO by SPACEBALLS (AGA) Code and Gfx by Jobbo Music by Lizard First place for this cute intro by Jobbo, which is without doubt at least the best between the two SPB intros entering the 64K contest. There's nothing special about it.

Besides some minor releases that have marked the first half of this year, and together with DREAM WALKER, the music-disk whose you could find... read more
Review on Mama
MAMA by BANAL PROJECTS Code by Epidemic Gfx by Boris Musics by Ukulele This is one of the most original music-disk ever conceived on Amiga, especially under the musical aspect. By clicking over the areas marked on a rotating GLOBE, you can choose among 7 marvelous ethno-songs. If you are one of those that are tired to collect disks full of only techno, rave, then don't miss this production!
Review on Response
RESPONSE by AVALON (AGA) Code by Aragorn, Equex Gfx by Typhoon Music by Typhoon Surprising second place for this mediocre one-file demo which really say it all about the level of the compo. It's even more surprising how it was placed behind the very good 'DEEP' by Parallax+CNCD for only 3 points. Sad to say, but everything in this demo is wisely mixed in about 5 minutes of profound boredom. It has some qualities, though. For example, it's extremely useful to... read more
Review on Roots v2.0
ROOTS 2.0 -final version- by SANITY Code by Chaos, Mr.Pet Gfx by Cthulhlu, Cougar Music by Jester It's hard to understand 'where' this version is better than the previous released at the Party 4. A lot of things have been added but still the demo really lacks of a decent design. The remaining disk-space has been filled by Chaos with another music, more graphics and loads of routines which really aren't this time the usal Sanity's quality stuffs we usually look at.... read more
Review on Shocked?
SHOCKED by SHOOT Code by Spiz Gfx by Clue Music by Dreamer As we said before, there's not much difference between this one and the first placer by Bizarre Arts, and SHOCKED really deserves some words. It's maybe one of the few 40K intros we seen lately that has 'a beginning and an end'. Excellent work guys!
Review on Sound 2
SOUND issue 2 by SPOON After a very promising start, Christine De La Queen and his fellows are back to entertain us with the second issue of their mag, whose main aim should be that to offer to all the whole scene community, a good alternative to all the miryad of chip-mags around. Compared to the previous issue, the first impression is far more comfortable. The code has been quite improved, the graphics are definitely nicer and everything seem have bee... read more
Review on The Last Finger
THE LAST FINGER by SPACEBALLS (AGA) Code by Major Asshole, Slummy Gfx by A. Revkin Music by Joghurt There's not too much to say about this one. It's just average, but fingers, especially if they are from Spaceballers have always their power.
Review on mod.ultimate seduction3
- THE PREY main theme - by Slide of Polka Brothers ------------------------------------- I think this tune is by Slide, although maybe Airwalk or Merge (Laxity) had some hand in it. That's the curse of having the two best coders/musicians in Polka Bros. :) Anyhow, the intro-music is very good. It fits the screen perfectly, it's impressively cinematic, with lots of low, scary string-stabs. And a gorgeous machinery-winding-down noise at th... read more
Review on D.I.S.C 10
D.I.S.C. issue #10 released under GODS label main edited by ZEROX A huge step ahead. D.I.S.C. #9 was a flop, Zerox learnt and understood where he was wrong just to build up a very enjoyable magazine. It reminded me the old issues of Propaganda where, together with a nice interview with a Vis you could enjoy some no-scene-related articles. Keep on this way! STYLE: Zerox's g... read more

Review on Hardcore 1
HARDCORE #1: Firstly let us greet and thank Acid/D-Version Team and Infusion of Corrosion for having provided us with this new magazine. I think we were among the firsts watching what Corrosion succeded in assembling. Anyway, Hardcore is main-edited by Sane and it's published by, as we already said, Corrosion. It has a strange desing and menu, not too user-friendly I have to admit, but it's just a personal opinion. Even if it lacks of articles the ones present are... read more
Review on Vision 1
VISION #1: It's a new magazine from Australia, published by DEVIOUS DEZIGNS and main-edited by Psyche and The heavyweight both from producer's group. Old fashion styled, Vision has all the parts a scene magazine should feature such as humor section, advertisements, debates, scene-related stuff and even a corner with sex stories, dedicate to perverts of all ages. And as we, Charters, are three and more little pigs the sex corner was the first we looked at... read more
Review on mod.excellate
- PSYCHEDELIC second tune - by Probe of Virtual Dreams -------------------------------------- Starts of very nice and the it sounds like someone loaded a text file into protracker, putted in in each track and boosted it 200 times. The part from pos. 3 to 13 is simply shit in my opinion. Well, from pos.13 to pos.19 the tune is great. Quite simply and easy like pop- music-techno should be like. Then the part from pos. 20 to around 28 is again so... read more
Review on mod.overtaking
- MOTION main theme - by Clawz of Bomb -------------------------------------- Again, another distinctive author. This starts with some nice `spooky` hit-bubble-chords, and seems to establish itself as kinda like the music to Origin, but better. :) Is it actually based on the Origin-music? There are certainly some distinctive Clawz chord-patterns in there, such as the raised (anticipatory?) chord at the end of each bar. Generally, the tune has n... read more
Review on nexus seven.mod
- NEXUS 7 theme - by Interphace of Andromeda -------------------------------------- This tune is... strange. I find it awfully difficult to rate. Firstly, it has a gorgeous cinematic intro. Great chords and organ. The main part then kicks in, with some very nice claps and a kinda Groo-vy skank feel. It's noticable that linking the tune directly with the demo effects DOESN'T really work in this case, tho. It's a nice steady tune, and doesn't benefit from all... read more
Review on Istanbul Style
ISTANBUL STYLE by BRONX Code by Barbarian Gfx by Turbo Music by Max While Cemetery News keep on collecting big delays, or it is perhaps dead and buried since a long time, here's materialize a new production from Bronx, the crew which has got in past a rather good popularity among sceners especially thanks to productions like the already said above 'Cemetery News' and the famous and discussed pack-mag called 'Auschwitz'.

MEMORIAL SONGS II - Review Code by Psionic Gfx by Tony, Diesel8 Musics by Lizardking Time has finally come for us, to enjoy the long announced sequel from Razor 1911 to Memorial Songs, a production exactly dated 1993, which despite his age, keep on hanging about the high circles of the major charts around. The men behind this new episode, are nearly the same of the previous, excluding the coder PSIONIC, who has excellently carried out his work by including an... read more
Review on RAW 8
R.A.W. issue #8 released under INDEPENDENT label main edited by ASTRO We can't deny R.A.W. is like a milestone, a landmark but just after we were getting tired of their arrogance (that seens to have made its time) our Lord Helmet cleverly passed all the stuff'n'duty to Astro/Virtual Design. I would say a VERY clever move as I believe new and fresh efforts are brining R.a.w. where it was, making it to be read again... read more
Review on The Honeycomb
HONEYCOMB slideshow by TRSI Gfx by Fiver Sound by Virgill And so we come to the second slideshow by TRSI. This one comes from Germany and is filled up with artworks by FIVER (read the interview with him in this issue), one of the most promising artists of the last months. To tell the truth, HONEYCOMB isn't that good, especially because it features also non-aga pictures that were drawn in the past and that clearly show their age. If we except most of them, then we go... read more
Review on Upstream 10
UPSTREAM issue #10 released under BALANCE label main edited by MOUNT Surely one of the best issues ever released. The tenth one brought by Mount more than Wolfman is a success that confirms Upstream in the top. Absolutely no shortage of hot scoops, mixed together with articles awkward to read. STYLE: Mount keeps o... read more
Review on Buzz 6
BUZZ issue #6 released under DEFIANCE label main edited by PLUGSTER It seems to be the only magazine that does not care anything about other editors' comments. Yes, I think there are no main-writers who have spent some words or have showed in other ways their appreciation to this diskzine. Nevertheless Plugster and his mates keep on releasing a disk almost full of rotten rubbish. My God, at least follow other pe... read more
Review on R.O.M. 4
R.O.M. issue #4 released under ESSENCE label main edited by MOP Mop hit the jackpot with this issue of R.O.M. Sharp as a real creature of habit the fourth one showed the scene how a scandalistic-magazine must be, nice articles, nice design and more and more scoops. . Surely it's "Novella 2000" of the scene. When we'll see naked V.I.S.? STYLE: Mop lacks of style? Who... read more
Review on Sun
SUN slideshow by TRSI Code by Iron Gfx by Lazur Music by Dreamer There aren't many slideshows released around, and TRSI decided it had to change, so they released TWO slideshows in just a few months. The first one we are going to talk about, SUN, comes from the Polish section of this group and features some of the best pictures by the talented Lazur, besides a tune by the acclaimed Dreamer. SUN is a very good slideshow, nearly all the pictures... read more
Review on mod.kef demotune 1
- PSYCHEDELIC first tune - by Julius of Polka Brothers -------------------------------------- Julius' tune is, simply, quality. It starts with gorgeous chords a la Jarre, and slides into a loping Mantronix-meets-Lizardking groove. Nice unconventional choice of lead-melodies, and a great `random` synth-break. The tune is brilliantly driven:no-one handles tunes that sound like they're going somewhere better than Julius. Add to that cute arp... read more
