RSI-AFL-SPECTRAL
PARTY INTERVIEWS
  On the 21.04. in a village in
Luxembourg the best party this year
took place. The room in a hotel was
very small and stuffed with more
than 30 Amigas (mostly A500) and a
few  hundret  freaks.   Spectral was
cheated  by  the  owner of the hotel
and lost a lot_of money.  Beside the
three  organising  groups which have
been  represented  very numerous you
could  notice  the  following  other
remarkable  groups:   Abakus, Abyss,
Ackerlight,  Amiga Industries, Black
Monks,  Brainstorm,  Cascade,  Cult,
Level   4,   Mindkillers,  Quadlite,
Sinners (!!!),  Spreadpoint,  Tarkus
Team, Tristar, Vision Factory.
  The   magazine  ZINE  (Brainstorm-
Switzerland) came with 4 persons who
interviewed  nearly  everybody  over
the whole afternoon (See their issue
for  complete  list),   At last they
got us too but not without answering
our questions:
CJ: Tell  us  about  the   begin  of
Brainstorm.
BS: B was born on the Amiga one year
ago.  We  newer  wanted  to swap  or
crack. We are a demo-group.  We have
17 members, mainly coders.  The big-
gest success was the magazine ZINE.
CJ: What about Swapping/Modem
BS: We  are  searching for  a  modem
swapper. But we aren’t swapping our-
selfes.
CJ: What do you think about selling?
BS: Selling software is big shit.
CJ: Is  Switzerland  a good  country
for a group.
BS: For the scene it’s a good place.
We  have good  groups like  Alcatraz
and  Cetrox.  And there  are members
from foreign groups like Trilogy...
CJ: How did you come to the party?
BS: By train.  75 DM return for each
person.
CJ: Do you often visit parties?
BS: Not  very often.  Meanly parties
close to us.
CJ: Who is ZINE?
BS: I  (Majestic) and  "The Accised"
(coder)  invented the ZINE in sunner
1989.  The idea was, that there haye
been  many  mags  amoung only the CJ
and  EX 8 (+) were good.  We thought
we  could  make  a  new mag with the
niveau of CJ but with a new design.
CJ: Did you have an easy start?
BS: We didn’t have big problems. The
second issue was the hardest. We had
to  get  the  articles  fast and  we
didn t have the routine  already. We
got lot  of help  from other groups.
Now it runs on itself.
CJ: Did you reach your goals?
BS: Yes  I think  so.  We are satis-
fied. Now we haye 100 articles.
CJ: What  do  you  think  about  the
scene?
BS: I think originality  is the nost
important in the  scene. The one who
is original  and a  little good  can
become very famous. But the scene is
stuffed  with cheap  trainer  groups
and ruled by elder coders.
CJ: What  do  you think  about other
mags?
BS: The scene is overflowed with bad
Magazines.  Every groups makes their
own mag for one issue.
CJ: Last Words?
BS: Good luck for you.
CJ: Good luck for you too. Thanks...
