Live Interview done at the Energy and Cosmos Designs Party
with Antibyte and Tech from SCOOPEX  Austria !

Interview done by Zinkfloid/ENERGY

Z: Ok let`s start this crazy interview with crazy guys, Tech, could you 
   introduce yourself ?
T: I am 17 years old, handling is Tech of Scoopex of course, before I have 
   been  in Energy for a 1/2 year. And in Scoopex I am now for about 9 month !
   My function is coding (Ed.: and eating other peoples Pizza !)
   some hobbies are mmmh.... nothing ! My hair has a brown colour and I own 
   blue - grey eyes...yes I like to play Bass Guitar !
Z: Now to you Antibyte ! The same again...  
A: I started my career 4 years ago in a little group, called X15 Crew.
   Then I joined Energy and stayed nearly three years before I joined
   Scoopex. My function is to code and to crack.
Z: Tell us more about Scoopex, any releases planed or some important changes
   during the last time ?
T: I have planed to release a Demo called "Influences", which will feature
   graphics from Uno and Angel Dawn and the musical parts are delivered from
   Hi-Lite. And a new Cruncher with the feature to decrunch files with reloc-
   tables on absolute addresses.
A: I am waiting for some originals to crack, and in the meanwhile I am
   working on little projects like intros....
Z: Seems like there will be more releases seen than in the last time. Some
   time ago I heard some rumours that quite a lot members left Scoopex because
   the most members are very inactive and lazy !
A: That is not quite right. Many inactive members did not leave, but they
   were kicked out (e.g. Scx-SF)
Z: Scoopex gained a good reputation cause of the Mental Hangover Demonstration
   released 2 years ago. Then in different mags it has been anounced that
   Mental Hangover II will be soon out. But Slayer got kicked out as far as I
   know ! Why that ?
T: Slayer attended his military service and he had no time to code the Demo 
   because he just worked for firms doing different projects. Maybe we can
   expect a comeback, which is very uncertain at the moment.
Z: Now back to the austrian Scoopex members ! You got a new kind of sub-group
   called S!P (former TRSI sub-group !) But this group is not very popular in
   scene ! Are you happy with this choice or are there any disappointing 
   reactions ?
A: At first I have to say that I do not like the idea of sub-groups joining
   other groups without dissolving their sub-group bonds. The S!P members
   seem to me more like people, who want to abuse the reputation of the
   group that they are currently in. I wonder whom they will join next.
Z: In which form do they abuse the reputation of Scoopex ? What do you think 
   about releases with low quality or telling shit about other groups ?
T: (Tech is mental in other spheres,so I ask the same question Antibyte !)
A: I mean that they do not take the full responsibility of a group`s actions.
   They allways want to maintain their position as a group within a group.
   So the organazing gets more difficult for the leader. 
Z: Seems that the leader from S!P - Reebok - had luck to become part of such a 
   good and popular group ! Anyway, best regards to this lovely and friendly 
   humantarget !
   So let us change the topic a little bit and let us talk about the austrian
   scene ! What are your main thoughts about groups, divisions, legends (are
   there any ?) and releases....
T: Some years ago the whole scene has been good because there were many active
   and cool guys like Copyright-Hunter, Crazy Typer, George II, Mark and others
   nowadays almost nobody has any motivations to do something. Some groups are
   nevertheless very talented but lack creativity. 
A: It has become very difficult to hold an elite position for a longer time.
   The scene has almost reached its limits. Therefore only small successes
   can be achieved.
Z: You mean with small successes that Austria is very weak when you watch the 
   scene movings in other countries ? I mean the other countries have better
   and more releases ?
A: In other countries the groups influence and benefit from each other. In
   Austria most of the groups live a very isolated life. E.g.: Copyparties
   are a rare event and are also not attended as much as they should be.
Z: This `austrian` phenomenon can be traced at the Energy party here ! Why do
   a lot of experienced guys from austria not attend a local party but travel
   to foreign parties which are more expensive and sometimes not so `familiar`
   and funny than parties in Austria ?
T: Because at foreign parties are more known and more popular people, more
   visitors this makes the foreign parties more attractive !
Z: Do you share the same oppinion Antibyte ?
A: Well, it is part of the Austrian identity and way-of-life that they think
   that everything that happens abroad is better. 
T: In former times Austria had a better reputation when the austro-hungarian
   monarchy ruled you all !! Even Mexico belonged to this imperium ! In Austria
   the sun never descended. 
Z: Nice to get a lesson in english and history ! But now back to the roots of
   your taste ! Tell me favourite coder, musician, gfx-artist, groups and disk 
   mags! As always asked in interviews, you know !
T: Coder:  The Spy/SILENTS
   Musician: Jesper Kyd/SILENTS, Tip & Mantronix/PHENOMENA
   Gfx: Uno, Uno, Uno and Uno/SCOOPEX
   Group: Silents, Fairlight, Anarchy
   Disk Mag: I.C.E., Zine, Hack Mag
