          by Shadow/Artefact


MD: Hi Mental!  Present yourself...

ME: Hello  everybody!  My real name is
    Eric, and I'm a French boy, living
    150  kms  south  of Paris!  I'm 21


    years  old, 1.70m tall, blue-eyed,
    and  brown haired dude.  I'm still
    studying, and my main subjects are
    Electricity and Mechanics.


MD: Some personal infos!
 
ME: I  enjoy  chatting with anybody of
    anykind  of  topics.  I think it's
    really   cool   to   speak   about
    something   else  that  computers,
    isn't   it?    What   I  like   is
    football,  athletics, roleplaying,
    girls  (only,  and  my pretty girl
    called Aurelie), friends, going to
    the     cinema,     dancing    and
    travelling.  That's to say, always
    having fun, and taking the best of
    life.


MD: Your personality...

ME: I  like  to  wear classic clothes,
    and   I'm   quit   serious.   More
    precisely,   I'm   nervous,   shy,
    romantic  (as  most  of the french
    boys!), calm and franc!

 
MD: What's   your   group   and   your
    activities?

ME: One of my friends bought an Amiga,
    and   started   to   get  contacts
    abroad.     That   attracted   me!
    During  December 1989, I had my so
    awaited  computer!  
    Then  I started to be a swapper in
    Subsoftware.    I   was  asked  to
    spread our cracks, and packs.  But
    it didn't last a long time...
    So  I  joined  with  some  friends
    Beastie  Boys.  This one was cool,
    but   some  of  the  members  were
    strange, so I left.
    I  stopped  my  activities and got
    again into the scene in June 1991,
    when  I  joined Devils.  This team
    is  one  of  the coolest, but they
    live   too   far  from  me,  so  I
    prefered  to  joined Atlantys, who
    are living near Paris too.
    Then  as  Atlantys  was  dying,  I
    asked  Spirit  to  join,  to  make
    demo-packs!    But  one  of  their
    intro was made of ripped music and
    gfx,  and I really disliked it, so
    I decided to leave again.
    I  joined this german group called
    TECH   as  leader  of  the  french
    section!  Spirit asked me to stay,
    and   ATLANTYS  was  back  on  the
    scene,  so  I left SPIRIT and TECH
    because  of  lack of time and some
    internal  problems.   Lately I was
    only  in ATLANTYS (Which is a cool
    group   !),  in  this  one  I  was
    organizer,    packer    and   mail
    trader...  We produced a series of
    packs called 'BLUE DREAM'...
    But  now  all members joined three
    groups    (Rebels,   Silents   and
    Anarchy)  so, I prefer ANARCHY for
    their coolness ...


MD: What do you think about the French
    scene?

ME: I'm  glad  to see that many groups
    are  born  lately,  and to observe
    the  way  they  grow  up!  You can
    find,   in  France,  great  groups
    like:   Melon  Dezign  - Anarchy -
    Delight  - Devils - Dreamdealers -
    EOC  1999  -  Eremation - Rebels -
    Silents  -  Symbiosis  -  TRSI and
    Zenith.    They  are,  of  course,
    cooler   groups  abroad.   I  also
    think  it  is cool to get contacts
    abroad,  because  you can get some
    friends, and finally see them, one
    day!   Now  I  prefer talking with
    new   friends   of  all  countries
    because  in  France  most  of  the
    groups are jealous and I found the
    people cooler outside...


MD: What  do  you think about the APP?
    Note  for  foreign  countries:  In
    France,    APP    is    the   same
    organisation  as  it exists in UK:
    FAST.   It  is said to be there to
    protect  programes against illegal
    copies.

ME: In  France, the scene is cool, but
    due to lots of lamers, you must be
    careful   if   you're  an  illegal
    group!   The  problem  is that mad
    lamers  enjoy to give your addy to
    the  police, because they are just
    jealous  of your fame.  The APP is
    very active too because many games
    are made in France.

[Note:   Today,  the  APP is dead, but
exists  under  another name.  This new
organisation    can   strike   anybody
without  any complaint from a software
editor.  This was impossible before.]


MD: What  are  your  favorite  groups,
    musicians,   graphicians,  coders,
    demos, music disks?
    
ME: Best group:  Crusaders & Silents
    Musician:    Audiomonster/Silents 
                 &Moby/Drd
    Graphician:  Iridon/Shining

                 &Odyssey/Alcatraz
    Music-Disk:  Tune Disc/Concept 
                 &Merry Melodies/Relay


MD: What  are your prefered musics and
    movies?

ME: I  listen  to  cool,  soft  music,
    jazz,  also  Gun'n  Roses and Iron
    Maiden.    I   enjoy  movies  like
    sci-fi  (Terminator II), dramatics
    (JFK)  and romantics (Ghost).  All
    kind  a  movies affecting feeling,
    and making people stay in front of
    the screen.


MD: Tell us a funny story!

ME: It's  a tiny girl without any arms
    going  to the kitchen and she asks
    her father:

    - Hey daddy, can I have a piece of
      chocolate?

    And the dad says:
    - Just    open    the    cupboard,
      Bernadette!

    But the poor girl answers:
    - It's impossible!

    - Well, no arms, no chocolate!

    (Extremly    funny   joke,    very
    strange humour - ED -)
         
MD: Do you have something else to say?

ME: Thank you for this cool interview!
