interview to frap/magnetic fields.


1.  well everyone, this is frap of
    magnetic fields and i am the
    european swapper, demofreak of this
    group.  my age is 18 years old, and
    the hardware i use is amiga 500,
    1 meg ram, 5/4 drive, 3 1/2 drive
    and not forgetting my monitor and
    cool 16 bit megadrive, which i use
    when i am copying disks for
    everyone.

2.  magnetic fields was formed just less
    than 2 years ago, when there was
    various groups thought of a change,
    i will explain.  i joined a group on
    the 64 called sub^zero and formed up
    the amiga group, but we wasn't so
    famous on the amiga scene as on the
    nearly^dead 64 scene. i started
    writing off to loadsa guys in order
    to get more contacts as remember
    that i was a real proper lamer!!!.
    luckily i got a few more guys who
    wanted to swap with me (don't ask
    why), one of my contacts was a
    mega^guy called cosy, who belongs to
    a group calledd nitro.ac. afterwards
    when we got swapping loadsa times, i
    asked him for a joint co^operation
    which was called nitro.ac/sub^zero.
    we happily struggled on until the
    change came, and thats how magnetic
    fields was formed, from the help of
    these groups ^ nitro a.c ^ sub^zero
    ^ the 3 amigos.

3.  i joined magnetic fields at the very
    start, magnetic fields at first took
    a while to get famous but i think
    everyone has heard of us, even
    though we only release demos every
    so often.

4.  the scene in the u.k at the moment
    is increasing all the time with
    groups expanding and releasing much
    more stuff than ever before.  the
    most promising group to become big
    has got to be anarchy uk, who are
    releasing demos just as good as the
    european groups now.  but it is not
    surprising with kreator and del.
    the most recent event in the uk was
    the c.e.s show down london which was
    cool, as loadsa european groups
    attended, there was only one
    complaint, how come there was no new
    16 bit sega games to buy???

5.  i think wars are really funny but it
    is very sad to see a group die,
    especially when they are fuckin cool
    co^operations are really something
    when they make a good effort as the
    demos and cracks are so much better.
    please note:  i would like to see a
    co^operation megademo released
    through all the best coders as i am
    sure it would be really something 
    special for all demofreaks to keep
    in their disk collections.  i am
    glad we have come on to the copy
    parties point, copyparties are
    really great to meet all ya contacts
    for the very first time,also it is
    very good to get new ones as well.
    another note:  how about a european
    copy party organised by all groups
    (worldwide) every year so all groups
    from every country travel once a
    year to the same place,bringing
    their latest products, especially
    written for that party.  just think
    of all the disks for you to copy.

6.  you asked why i am a demofreak, the
    reason i am a demofreak is from the 
    early days on the 64, when i use to
    always go mad when i saw a demo.
    remember the max headroom demo by
    the judges(yeah!).  from ever since
    i am just interested in demos, but i
    do like the odd game.

7.  my favourite swapper has got to be
    cosy of magnetic fields as how can
    any one swap with over a hundred
    contacts, sending so much new wares
    all the time. (keep on betty boo).
    my favourite coder is delta/rsi, my
    favourite gfx artist is scoopex's,
    my favourite musician is uncle tom,
    my favourite group is kefrens,
    my favourite board i can't really
    comment as i am not a modem trader
    yet!!!!.

8.  i think the friendship movement is
    good, but how about a friendship
    megademo released through various
    groups.

9.  magnetic fields plan loadsa cool
    demos, loadsa compacts, and the a
    cool copy party was held on the 27
    october 90.

10. i am afraid no^one has been caught
    by f.a.s.t or software police but
    cosy has been caught several times
    by the post office and once he
    thought he had his phone tampered
    with!!!

11.  i am afraid that i am not really
     interested in the cdtv (cd rom)
     module as no^one will be able to
     pirate the games.

12.  my top five demos are as follows:

     1.  northstar megademo (2d)
     2.  subway n dream team megademo
     3.  rsi megademo
     4.  kefrens megademo viii (2d)
     5.  dragons megademo
