TRY CURSOR KEYS UP AND DOWN TO SCROLL....... OKEY... WELCOME THEN TO YET ANOTHER DEMO COMPILATION BROUGHT TO YOU BY S T A X THIS IS NUMBER 47 ALREADY SO WE HAVE ONLY 3 DISKS TO COME YET !!! I HAVE JUST READ 'AMAZINE 3' AND CONSEQUENTLY I AM SAD NOW BECAUSE 'MAD VISION' HAVE WRITTEN A BULLSHITTING TEXT BOUT OUR 'REVOLUTION' MEGA DEMO....... THEY SLAGGED US OFF IN THEIR REVIEW COZ OF 'MISSING ORIGINALITY' (???) IN OUR MEGA DEMO......... PLEASE DON'T MISSUNDERSTAND ME.... I DON'T THINK OUR DEMO WAS THE BEST EVER OR GLORIOUS IN ANY OTHER WAY....... BUT TO BE HONEST....... OUR DEMO WAS SURELY MORE ORIGINALL THAN MAD VISION WROTE....... THEY GAVE US 50 PERCENT ONLY FOR ORIGINALITY AND WROTE FURTHERMORE THAT THE DEMO HAS NOT MADE ANY IMPRESSION AT ALL............ HEY MAD VISION...... HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SCREENS LIKE 'HEXENKUECHE III' 'SONIC THE HEDGEHOD' 'THE LAST V8' OR THE 'MAIN MENU' IN A SIMILAR WAY IN ANY OTHER DEMO BEFORE ??? WELL... I BET YOU HAVEN'T COZ WE WERE THE FIRST WHO DID IT !!! IT IS QUITE SURE THAT THE IDEAS OF V8 AND SONIC WERE TAKEN FROM THE C64 AND THE MEGA DRIVE BUT EXACTLY 'THIS' WAS THE ORIGINALITY ON IT !!! DON'T YOU THINK SO ??? ISN'T IT FUNNY TO HAVE A SONIC OR V8 CONERSION ON THE ST ??? I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY FUNNY AND THEREFORE ABSOLUTELY WORTHWHILE AND ALSO MORE ORIGINALL THAN 50 PERCENT....... MANY GUYS WROTE US LETTERS JUST TO GIVE COMPLIMENTS ABOUT THE IDEAS OF EXACTLY THOSE SCREENS I MENTIONED RIGHT BEFORE SO I DON'T THINK THAT THE ARTICLE IN 'AMAZINE 3' IS REALLY MEANT TO BE A SERIOUS ONE.......... ISN'T IT ??? FORGET IT !!! ............ANYWAY.... QUITE NICE ISSUE AFTER ALL.............. OOOPS!!! WAS THIS BORING ??? WELL SORRY BUT THAT REVIEW IN 'AMAZINE 3' JUST DID NOT LET ME STAY HAPPY WITHOUT GIVING ANY COMMENTS...... SO NOW I HAVE WRITTEN WHAT I THINK AND I FEEL BETTER EVEN THAT FEW LINES BEFORE WON'T MOVE ANY BIG THINGS !!! IT'S JUST FOR MY 'COLLAPSED' EGO...... OKEY ??? WELL.. JUST WATCHING FOOTBALL IN TV.... IT'S AC MILANO VERSUS F.C. PORTO......... QUITE INTERESTING!!! SO NOW LET'S WRAP FOR A WHILE COZ I WANT TO ENJOY IT!!!!!! SINCE THIS DISK ISN'T FINISHED YET I WILL TAKE ME SOME TIME ON ANOTHER DAY TO COMPLETE THIS SCROLLTEXT.......... BUT FOR TODAY IT'S ENOUGH...... BYE...... WELL READER... YOU SEEMS TO BE REALLY CURIOUS SO I WILL TELL YOU NOW SOME NICE STORIES...... THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY (SATURDAY... 19.03.1993) I DROVE TO BAD KREUZNACH TO VISIT THE DETONATORS ......... MY TRIP WAS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS AND IT TOOK ME ONLY 2 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES TO REACH THE HOUSE OF NO FX OF DNS... I TOOK HIM AND HE SHOWED THE LAST WAY TO HCL WHO I SPENT THE MOST TIME OF THE WEEKEND !!! I WANTED TO COPY ME A NOT TOO SMALL AMOUNT OF DISKS THATS WHY I VISITED THE DETONATORS !!! OF COURSE THEIR CODER (BEWEISE) WAS ALSO THERE SO WE THEN LOOKED WITH 4 MAN SOME AMIGA DEMOS BEFORE STARTING TO COPY ON THE ST !!! IN THE NIGHT WE (BEWEISE... HCL AND MYSELF) WENT TO SOME NIGHT BARS AT FIRST WHERE WE PLAYED SOME DART GAMES AND DRUNK SOME BEER (WHICH WAS TERRIBLE BY THE WAY) AS WE GOT BORED OF IT WE WENT BACK TO THE HOUSES BUT THIS TIME I WENT TO BEWEISES HOUSE COZ I WANTED TO SLEEP THERE !!! BEWEISE AND I WERE SITTING IN FRONT OF THE ST UP TO 4 O'CLOCK IN THE NIGHT UNTIL WE WENT SLEEPING.... EVEN WE SPENT A QUITE LONG TIME ON THE ST WE HAVEN'T MANAGED IT TO DO ANY RATIONAL THINGS.... TOUGH SHIT BUT WHO CARES ??? SORRY NO FX FOR NOT HAVING DONE AN INTRO FOR YOU BUT TIME WAS TOO SHORT AND FINALLY WE WERE TOO TIRED !!! WHILST BEWEISE AND I WERE LOOKING AT DEMOS... RIPPING SOME SOUNDS (OR NOT !?!) OR SLAGGING ABOUT DEVPAC HCL WAS SITTING IN HIS HOUSE COPYING LOADSA DISKS !!! ON THE NEXT MORNING WE COPIED THE REST OF THE DISKS SO FINALLY HCL HAS COPIED 130 (ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY) DISKS IN ONLY A FEW HOURS WITH ONLY ONE ST..... AND HE HASEN'T USED ANY HARD COPIER... JUST USUAL FCOPY SO YOU CAN GUESS IT WAS A NOT TOO BAD AMOUNT FOR ONLY SOME HOURS !!! YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HCLS COMPUTER ROOM WHERE ARE LYING TONS OF DISKS WHICH MANY MANY STUFF !!! ALL AROUND I FOUND LETTERS AND PARCELS FROM LOADSA CONTACTS OF HCL AND I CAN TELL YOU IT WAS TOTALY CHAOS !!! HCL IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ONE OF THE CRAZIEST SWAPPERS I HAVE EVER SEEN........ OKEY.... AFTER WE FINISHED THE COPY SESSION I WENT HOME WHICH TOOK ME IN CONTRAST TO THE FIRST TRIP 4 HOURS BECAUSE THE HIGHWAY WAS TOTALY FULL OF CARS... SHIT!!! AND WHAT WAS THE MORAL OF MY VISIT IN BAD KREUZNACH ??? WELL... THE DETONATORS ARE REALLY NICE GUYS AND ABSOLUTELY NO LAMERS AS SOME GUYS LONG AGO WROTE..... OKEY.... SHIT STORY BUT I HAVE NO BETTER IDEAS SO LETS CONTINUE WITH THE GREETINGS...... BEST REGARDS FROM MATT ARE GOING TO FOLLOWING PEOPLE...... THE TEUTONICK KNIGHTS (TTK) DARREN LOMAX THE DETONATORS (HCL...BEWEISE...NO FX) NEW POWER GENERATION (CARNERA) MC FLY (I HOPE TO MEET YOU AT THE CEBIT IN HANNOVER!!!) BREAKPOINT SOFTWARE (JON) THE MYSTERONS (DIGITAL MADNESS) T'PAU THE SILENT NOISE (PLEASE DON'T SEND ME SO MUCH DISKS ANYMORE... I AM NO SWAPPER AT ALL !!!) BAD BOYS BELGIUM TESLA UNIT (KIRI...

IF I FIND THE TIME MAYBE EVEN BEFORE IN 48 OR 49 BUT IN 50 ITS FOR SURE SO MAKE IT CLEAR YOU WON'T MISS THAT ONE !!! SOME WORDS ABOUT THE MENU...... THE MJJ PROD SCREEN FROM OXYGENE'S O DEMO IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT AND THEREFORE THE BEST PROGGY ON THIS DISK !!! (BY THE WAY I THINK THE NEW MJJ PROD MEGADEMO ANOMALY IS EXCELLENT... ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THE ST !!!) THE BANANFISK DEMO BY THE LIGHT TEAM (OF AUTOMATION) IS OBVIOUSLY FOR STE ONLY BUT I AM NOT QUITE SURE.... SO CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF !!! ITS NOT TOO NEW ANYMORE (HO HO HO) BUT WE HAVEN'T RELEASED IT YET SO HERE IT FINALLY IS.... THE SAME COMMENT GOES FOR THE TURRICAN SOUND DEMO WHICH IS ALSO QUITE OLD NOW BUT WORTH TO HAVE ON A MENU EVEN SOME YEARS AFTER ITS RELEASE !!! THE TBC DEMO IS 2 YEARS OLD AS WELL BUT IN CONTRAST TO THEIR SCREENS FROM THE SWISS MEGA DEMO VERY GOOD !!! I CAN'T REMEMBER WHATS ON HERE FURTHER BUT FOR SURE THERE ARE SOME INTROS FROM US WHICH WE ONCE MADE FOR BBB OF THE REPLICANTS SO WE INCLUDED THEM AS DISK FILLERS SPECIALLY FOR ALL GUYS WHO DON'T LIKE ILLEGAL STUFF... (SO NOW YOU HAVE AT LEAST OUR INTROS......) THIS DISK IS BETTER THAN THE LAST THREE (MENU 44-46) SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN MAKE USE OF IT !!! THE MENUS 44 AND 45 ARE NO JOKE BY THE WAY !!! I HAD NO TIME FOR AN INTRO THERE SO I ONLY MADE A BOOT SELECTOR... ANYWAY THE COLLECTION ITSELF WAS QUITE NICE SO ITS WORTH ITS DISK SPACE !!! BY THE WAY..... HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INTRO COMPILS (OR 'GREAT STUFF COMPILS') AND COMPACT DISKS ??? IF NOT THEN GO AND THINK WHICH DISKS ARE MORE VALUEABLE IN ABOUT ONE YEAR !!! YOU KNOW THE ANSWER... EH ??? COMPACT DISKS... THE ONLY CHOICE !!! I THINK THERE ARE TOO MUCH COMPIL CREWS AROUND WHICH LET THE COMPIL BUSINESS COLLAPSE NOW OR TOMORROW !!! REALLY... MORE AND MORE PEOPLE GET FED OFF OF COMPIL DISKS BECAUSE TOO MUCH GROUPS RELEASE TOO MUCH BULLSHIT !!! I THINK BESIDE THE GLORY STAX CD'S (OOOOPPPSSSS...) THERE'RE ONLY THOSE LEGENDARY RIPPED OFF AND (OF COURSE) P.O.V. DISKS REALLY WORTH ITS SPACE !!! FORGET ALL THE REST AND LOOK OUT FOR THE NEXT COMING STAX CD'S !!! AND IF YOU HAVE MISSED SOME OLDER ONES THEN JUST WRITE ME A QUICK NOTE AND I WILL SEND YOU ALL MISSING DISKS YOU WANT FROM US.... (PLEASE INCLUDE ENOUGH DISKS CONSEQUENTLY !!!) WELL DONE GUY.... ITS GOING TO GET BORING FOR ME SO I WANNA WRAP NOW !!!! IF YOU GO ON THE CEBIT THIS YEAR YOU PROBABLY WILL SEE ME (OR ANY OTHER STAXXER... OR AT LEAST OUR ARTIST CALLED 'SODAN') SO IF YOU WANNA GET IN TOUCH THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE TO DO IT !!! RELEASE DATE IS FINALLY .... 21.03.1993 !!! LET'S WRAP..... MATT IS SIGNING OFF !!!
