³Interview with Omega/Rebels
¹---------------------------

³I¹:² Your name, group and functions ?

³O¹:   My  pseudonym  is  OMEGA and I'm a
member of Rebels.  I'm 17 years old and
I   live  in  Sweden.   Mainly,  I'm  a
musician, but I also do some low-budget
swapping.

³I¹:²  Which Other groups have you been in
and for how long time have you had your
Amiga ?

³O¹:I bought my Amiga 500 about two and a
half  year  ago,  for the simple reason
that  most  of  my  friends had one.  I
started composing half a year later and
around  xmas-89  I  joined  POWERDRIVE.
(Yeah!!)  I  never  made  anything  for
them,  so  short  afterwards,  I  was a
member  of  NECATRIX.  Next step in the
history  of  OMEGA  (he,he)  is  that I
joined  DUAL  CREW, together with MACE,
COLOR  &  TIP/NECATRIX.   Half  a  year
later  they  all got tired of DUAL CREW
and they joined ....PHENOMENA.

Myself, I stayed a while longer in DUAL
CREW.Finally,  in  March  '91, I joined
REBELS.
                                  
³I¹: ²  Are you still in contact with Dual
Crew ?

³O¹:   Well  yes, I trade some wares with
Stookie/D.C  but we don't write to each
other  very  often.  That reminds me !!
Perhaps I should send to him soon!.

³I¹: ² What do you think about the swedish
  scene ?                            

³O¹:The  scene  in  Sweden  is very good.
There  are  lots  of  nice  groups, and
unfortunately  lots  of  not  very good
groups.     Well,    it's   like   that
everywhere, right ?!  I guess it's more
or   less  equal  to  other  countries'
scenes.
                                     
³I¹:  ² Why did you join Rebels and not an
other crew ?
³O¹:I   found  out  that  Rebels  had  no
musician  in  Sweden,  so  things  just
happened that way.  I talked to Nick of
Rebels  (TJENA  KOSSAN!)  and he seemed
like a really nice guy.  So, nothing to
hesitate about,eh!!

³I¹:  ² I  know  you  are a friendship fan
(Talking  about  writing  long  letters
etc.),  but what do you think about the
movement ?

³O¹:  To tell you the truth, I think it's
pure bullshit!!  How many times haven't
you   received   a  letter  that  says,
"PS:Friendship  rules  !", etc.  If you
want  friends, get them, but don't talk
about  FRIENDSHIP like it was some kind
of   a  group.   The  scene  never  got
better, because the movement FRIENDSHIP
was born.  The only thing that came out
of  it was that the groups that started
it got more famous.

³I¹:² What do you think about cracking ?

³O¹:   It's  nice  that  some  slaves are
doing it,so you can get some neat games
from  time  to  time.   I don't think I
would  buy  any  games if there weren't
any crackers.  It's just too much money
!!   It's  wrong,  however, to sell new
cracks to others.  But I understand the
ones  who  do it.  It can't be very fun
wasting  all  that  time, if absolutely
nothing comes out of it.
³I¹: ²  Now one that is included in almost
every  interview.   Please  state  your
favourite:

³Groups¹:   Phenomena,  Vertigo,  Quartex
(Alliance Design), and PMC.
³Musicians¹:      TIP/Pha,     Mantronix,
Heatbeat/Rebels, and Delorean/Vertigo.
³Graphicsmen¹:   Color/Pha,  UNO/Scoopex,
Bustman/Crusaders, Intec/Crusaders.
³Coders¹:  Thomas Landsburgh, Azatoth/Pha
and Cocy/PMC.
³Demos¹:   "Enigma" by Azatoth 
         "Virtual world" by T.L
         Alfa & Omega (Yeah!) by PMC.                            
³Party¹:   Amega  party/CRB,  Dexion, FLT
and    Violence    (Not   because   the
organizing was good, but I met a lot of
cool guys there.)
                                    
³I¹:² What is your aim as a musician ?   

³O¹:   Well, first of all to release some
of  my  tunes.   Not  many of them have
been  released.  It would be really fun
to  enter  the  eurochart,  but I don't
really  care at what place I end up.  I
feel  more and more that I want to make
music to find my own personal style and
develop the kind of music that suits me
the best.  If others like it and things
work out I might do some gamemusic, but
then  I  must learn to be more creative
and  find inspiration much quicker than
I do today.

I don't have an own Synthesizer,but I'm
planning  to buy one, so I can get more
highquality-samples and perhaps do some
music   with  the  midisystem.   That'd
really be something!!

There is only one slight problem..  
...MONEY !!!                        
                                    
²OK!   Now  to the serious ones (he,he).
What  would  you  do,if you found Julia
Roberts, naken, on the beach ?

³O¹:  Give her a free ride to heaven !!
                                     
³I¹:²Have you ever heard about these guys,
Dr.Bully, Rack and Avantage ?

³O¹:Hmmm,let  me  think...I think I saw a
musicdisk  from  Majic 12 a while back,
with  music  from  these guys.  Perhaps
I'm  mistaking,  I  don't  know.  Maybe
Rack did the gfx....
                                     
³I¹: ² Tell me the funniest thing you have
ever heard.

³O¹:  Megashow a go-go, 23.10 on Tuesdays
in P3, swedish radio.
                                     
³I¹:²What  animal  do  you  think you look
like ?

³O¹:Well,  that's  a  hard  question, but
perhaps   the  rat  in  Stephan  King's
"Graveyard      Shift".      No,no,no!!
Hmm,damm  tricky  question  !!   Once a
friend  (?)  said  I  was  equal  to  a
monkey,  but I never understood what he
meant by that.(UGGA BUGGA !!)

³I¹: ²  Finally we reached the end !!  Now
you can say whatever you want to.

³O¹:  Since I don't know what to write, I
mind   aswell   state   some   personal
greetings here.
