The CeBIT´92 partyreport



After the very exciting CeBIT where we
met  a  lot  of  interesting  guys (as
always)  we  went  to  the Cebit-party
promised  to  us by the german part of
CULT.   The invitation was quite clear
and the way was very easy to find!  So
we  arrived at about 8 pm and a lot of
guys  were already present.  The place
was  a  youth-club  (Jugendzentrum  in
German)  but  as  we entered the place
the  we  got  shocked  the first time:
Instead  of  the  5DM  promised on the
invitation  we had to pay 10DM!  Quite
bad!!!   But  they  had special prices
for  partyreport-editors  !!!   (Quite
nice!)  The  partyplace  itself  was a
house   with   5  small  rooms  and  a





cafeteria  and  it was too small!  The
rooms were overcrowded and noone could
move  anymore...There  were  a  lot of
groups  present but mostly the smaller
ones...  let me tell you some groups I
can    remember:     Sanity,   Treacl,
Hysteria,   TSB,   Hardline,  Panic  &
Agnostic  Front, Cyborx, Amnesia, Skid
Row,  Pirates, The Risk, Jukebox, TEK,
Razor  1911,  Alcatraz,  Black  Monks,
TRSI, Fairlight and many more i cannot
remember...   So,  time  went  on with
talking  and  boozing...No real action
anywhere...    The  only  thing  worth
mentioning   was  the  guy  who  broke
together and had to be carried away by
the     ambulance...But    then    the


competitions       started:        The
grafixcompetition  seemed to be a fake
because  NAVY/VANISH  won  the 2nd and
3rd  place so he got 300,-DM the first
palce     got     250,-DM....      The
democompetition  was  (like  always in
Germany)    more    like    an   intro
competition.   TRSI were the only ones
to release a dentro, Cyborx released a
trackmo.     But    they    hired    a
picture-woofer   which  build  up  the
picture by dots.As the way between the
woofer and the wall was 5-6 metres the
pictures  was  not  sharp.  Everything
you  saw  were  big  dots.   This  was
extremely lame at the grafix-compo!

 So the results were:    
1. TRSI - Dentro
2. Amnesia - Dot-Intro
3. Cyborx - Trackmo


After copying all the stuff the freaks
spread out and headed home again.  All
in   all   the   party   was  ok,  the
partyplace      too      small     and
uncomfortable,  promises  , except the
entrance-fee,  were held, the cinema a
normal room and the picture-woofer too
bad  to  get  the  resolution  of  the
Amiga!   I  do  not  want to judge the
party  but  if you have not been there
you missed nothing!

THE CEBIT '92 REPORT 15th MARCH 1992
                  

by RokDaZone


Yet   again    it    is   the   annual
CEBIT-report.  This time   as expected
it    is   the  CEBIT'92  Report (some
things never change).
After   2.15   hours   and   about  40
kilometres   of  roadblock,we  finally
arrived   in   Hall   1,   where   the
COMMODORE-exhibition  was  located  as
usually.   By  the way,'we' here means
PINNY/ANARCHY,  HIGGIE/BABOONS, me and
another  friend  of  us,  who is of no
further interest for this report.
First  of all, let me give you a small
list  of  the  bigger  groups, present
here  (not  complete,  sorry):  ADEPT,
AGNOSTIC   FRONT,   ALCATRAZ,   AMAZE,






ANARCHY,   ANIMATORS,   AWAKE,   BLACK
MONKS,  FAIRLIGHT,  LSD,  MEXX, PANIC,
REBELS,  SANITY,  SCOOPEX,  SKID  ROW,
TRSI, THE SPECIAL BROTHERS, ...
Well,  we  arrived  at  the  big white
'tagging-wall'  at about 10 a.m., that
was   already  overcrowded  by  freaks
spraying  and painting logos, messages
and  addys.  At 10.25 an official lady
from  COMMODORE  showed  up to tell us
that  if  we  were  real "FANS" of the
AMIGA,  we  should  stop  tagging  and
boozing,  because eventually COMMODORE
won't  be  allowed  to  participate at
CEBIT'93,   if   the   wall   and  the
surroundings  will  be  turned  into a

mess.   I  offered  something  like an
official  statement  from COMMODORE in
front  of  several  scene-mags to her,
but  she  only  ran  away  as if words
would  be enough to stop those freaks,
that  seemingly  got  mad, as could be
seen  in  their  behaviour (if YOU are
the  elite     as  you  stated, then I
really  do  not  want to see the rest!
).   The  real  probleme, however, was
not  that  COMMODORE  themselves  felt
uncomfortable about what was going on,
but  the  neighbouring firms had fears
that potential clients may be deterred
from  freaks  behaving  that  bad.   I
thought  there  must be a competition,
who   was  able  to  cry  "Fuck!"  and
"Beeer!" most aloud and who is able to
spilt the most liquids on the floor...
I  won't  tell no names,but those guys
should think about if it is cool to be

prepubertarian!  This can also be seen
in     the     ridiculous    graffitis
saying:"FUCK  ATARI  ST!" I feel quite
bewildered about these idiots, because
I  thought  the  scene of today should
have  quite  enough  selfassurance  to
stop      those      outbreaks      of
pseudosuperiority.   Seemingly  LITTLE
BOYS  need  these 'statements' to make
themselves      feel      important...
Something,  I  also  found interesting
was  the  behaviour of the  exhibition
guards  and  officials,  because  they
were  really  in fear of me being from
"the  press".  Everytime I went closer
to  them  to  ask for a statement,they
turned  around  and  I  heard whispers
like:   "  Let's step a bit aside, the
press is here." The press???  Me?  Hm,
quite   funny...   Although  COMMODORE
invented  their  AMIGA-V.I.P.-CLUB and

therefore  tried to be friendly to the
freaks  (remember  the small sinusbeep
birtday sere- nade for FRANKY/AGNOSTIC
FRONT  ???),   there   was   something
left, I really have to complain about.
As   expected,   COMMODORE   tried  to
impress     possible    clients,    by
demonstrating   the  possibilities  of
AMIGA    multi-media,    SCALA   AMIGA
600/-HD,  CDTV,  ...   Therefore, they
displayed some short AMIGA made movies
on a big video-screen.  A demo without
sound  is nothing and there- fore they
played  some  real  cool tunes.  Guess
what!   I  knew  them.   Tune  one was
"SPACE           DELIRIA"           by
Dr.Awesome/Ex-CRUSADERS and the second
"Street           Jungle"           by
Heatbeat/CARILLION!!!    Well,  I  had
doubts,   if  these  guys  gave  their
aggreement  to  this  and  therefore I

again  tried  to  get a statement from
COMMODORE.  I did not get one.  All of
the  10-15  persons I have asked first
were   really   proud   about   having
participated   in   creating  the  ad-
vertising  movies  and  after  I  have
asked about it,they all told me to ask
another  person, because:"I don't know
nothing  at  all  about  it!" Only one
slimy  'Yuppie' had a longer statement
for  me:   "If  this  guy releases his
songs as Public Domain, he knows about
the  consequences!"  Well, may this be
the   reason  why  CRUSADERS  write  a
protection   note   in  front  of  all
releases     -     including    "Space
Deliria?".   

        Now  to CEBIT/SCENE NEWS!
