S.E.S.
interview with S.E.S.
---------------------
* hi there man. please tell us your
real name and your age?
s: my real name is simon stelling. my
birthday is on the 6th of december'72
and therefore i'm 18 years of age now.
* what's your job in g*p?
s: i'm a coder. i do most of the gfx
to my demoes aswell.
* in what group(s) have you been in
before genesis?
s: i was in fear and before that i was
in no group at all. nearly at the same
time when i decided to join g*p, some
guys from scream and oracle asked me
to build up a new coder-group. i
agreed and so i'm in sunrise aswell as
in genesis. you have to know that i
went to both groups because both pro-
mised to get some converting jobs for
me. at the moment it looks like as if
sunrise failed while genesis suceeded.
* how many members are there in g*p?
s: well i don't know exactly how many
members g*p has, i guess around 15-20.
for sure in g*p are: antichrist, fgth,
scrap, deek, bizzmo, s.e.s., snacky,
the goblin, punisher and some more
which i can't remember at the moment.
* when did you buy your commodorre ?
s: on the 15th or 16th of may 1987. i
bought a c128, a 1571 and a 1301 mon-
itor which still works (hey man, i got
a drive which have been working since
the 12th of september 1984!). in oct
1989 i bought a second 1571 to be able
to copy easier and to leave my master-
disk in one drive, while the actual
workdisk is in the other one.
* how many hours per day do you spend
infront of your computer?
s: i spend every free minute infront
of my computer... that means 12 hours
on saturdays and sundays, 6 hours on
mondays, no time at all at tuesdays, 8
hours on wednesdays, 5-8 hours on
thursdays and 1-3 hours on fridays. in
holidays of course all night long !
* what do you think about cracking ?
s: cracking is fun... i did it myself
many years ago... nowadays cracking
seems to be harder. you have to be
fast and good at the same time.
* what's your future plans?
s: on computer i'll try to finish a
converting-job for kingsoft as soon as
possible, after that i'll try to get
some more such jobs to earn money, and
ofcourse i'm going to release some
demoes in the near future!
* who are your best pals in the scene?
s: they are: typhoon/fts , hje/amok
and ofcourse all g*p members.
* who is the best coder, graphixer and
musican?
s: when it comes to coder it's quite
difficult to judge... i think... it's
me (hehe)! no, i really can't name one
that should be the best of'em all.
turning over to graphixers it's the
same problem. i think bizzmo is quite
cool aswell di-art and redstar/logic.
musicans are easy: vibrants . but i
like mon too.
* so what do you think about the
scene these days?
s: uh... well... at first i have to
say that there are way too much lame
discmags(ed. like rock'n role)! most
of them are so bad to read that you
can't even read them if you wanted to!
* what's your opinion about the amiga ?
s: well, as everyone knows, it's quite
cool concerning graphics and music. as
far as i know, the amiga scene is
lame. anyway, i have no amiga yet.
maybe i'll buy one as soon as i've
earned some money with these convert-
ing jobs i told you about.
* the best disc-mag?
s: difficult to say... i liked s'n c
very much. also mamba, remark, bild,
corruption, bad news and of course
hotshot(?).
* describe a real lamer.
s: hmmm... a lamer is either someone
who releases a lamermag(i've already
given you a description of a lamermag)
or someone who writes to me and wants
to know if cosmail is a group or a
demo(really happened to me!).
* have you ever been to a copy-party?
s: no, i have never been to a party.
i was in venlo twice, but the first
time i was there, the party was not!!
* what are you doin' in your spare-
time?
s: well, i told you before that i do
alot of computing... i also give some
private math-lessons to some extremly
sweet girls(really! no joke!).
* what's your favourite:
food: pizza, cheeseburgers
movies: pretty woman, back to the
future, total recall, abyss,
dead poets club
magazine: 64'er although it's lame
games: maniac mansion, turrican,
zak mc kracken, last ninja.
music groups: i can't tell you any
special groups... anything
from phil collins over fgth
to front 242(ed. yuch!)
sports: coding and nothing else
* what makes you happy ?
s: to read my interview in a cool disk
magazine, or to read my name in the
coder-charts. the best thing was to
read the review of megaparts ii / fear
in mamba... it got a better rating
then flash inc's demo!! so i really
have a reason to be proud!
* angry ?
s: to type a letter in a notemaker &
after one hour of typing accidentially
to hit the resore key so that all the
text is gone because the notemaker
crashed! also reading so-called "lamer
charts". i get really annoy, because
i bet that 95 percent of the voters
are real lamers who don't even know
the people they named.
* do you have any enemies ?
s: enemies? no! (i hope so...)
* name three things you'd bring with
you on a desert island?
s: 1 - enough food, water etc..
2 - a girlfriend
3 - a complete computer system in-
cluding c128+1571+1901, an amiga+a 2nd
drive+monitor, thousands of discs full
of stuff and a long long telephone-
cable attached to a modem and a normal
phone aswell.
* and at last, do you want to say
something to the public?
s: yes i do. please, before you fill a
votesheet, make sure that you know the
groups/coders/graphixers/musicans and
demoes that you vote for! and then
don't believe only one discmag, but
read several discmags and then judge
yourself and make your own opinion.
and please don't vote for the fastest
crackers or best importers when you
get all stuff four weeks after the
release date. how the heck can you
dare to say this group is the fastest,
when you are not able to judge?! and
besides, forget everything i told you
just before and vote for g*p in all
charts, including demo charts! and
please vote for s.e.s/g*p in the coder
charts! or haven't you seen my work?
then stop voting in general, because
you are out of touch!
JACK DANIELS
interview with JACK DANIELS
---------------------------
* hey pal, please tell us your real
name and your actual age?
j: my name is tobias and i'm 17 years
old and i'll turn 18 on the 7th of
august this year.
* what's your job in genesis?
j: i'm a swapper with 80 contacts, the
main-editor of corruption and some-
times a little bit of cracking, but
nothing special at all. i'm soon going
to buy a modem.
* in what groups have you been in
before g*p?
j: first cocaine, later orion, atg and
paramount before i joined g*p.
* who found the name genesis ?
j: moses was the one who invented the
name genesis, it was the first of his
5 books in the bible. the name indi-
cates, that we are the first in most
of the cases... and the best ofcourse!
hehe!
* when did you get first commodore 64?
j: i got it in 1986, i suppose.
* what's your future plans?
j: as far as the scene is concerned
the most important thing is, not to
get caught by the cops, because in
germany it's still illegal to swap
illegal copies of games(cracks). i do
also want to do some more issues of
corruption and i want to get some new
friends in the scene and i'd like to
meet lots of my foreign contacts any
time, any place!
in "normal" life i want to stay tough
and healthy. i want to continue my
alcoholican career and to fuck more &
more girls. all in all, i just want to
have fun...
* in your eyes, who is the best coder,
graphixer and musican?
j: coder - zodiac , sam+zentrix, fgth+
s.e.s.
gfx'er - red wiz, sparkler, bizzmo,
thunder
musican - griff, deek, jeroen tel
* how many hours a day do you spend
infront of your computer?
j: usually not more than 1-2 hours per
day. here and there i have to take
some more time for my computer activi-
ties, for example when i have to write
texts for corruption and that means 3
to 4 days of hard work, or when i
want to satisfy my contacts with a
sending... there are also some days
where i don't even touch my computer.
computer is a hobby, not a full time
job!!
* who are your best pals in the scene?
j: g*p members, the dudes in my town
(ex-hitmen, pulsar, abary), raze/xray,
deff/enigma, scorpie+kid+fen 1/f4cg,
aj/trc, peter+bod/ikari+talent, crush/
bonzai, gabriel/chromance, gabriel/the
force, tmb/victims, richie/enigma,
dr disc/chromance, tyger/ex-paramount,
thunderstruck+antitrack/legend, mr+
psycho/censor, adolf/victims, moon +
morpheus/flash inc. and some more....
* what do you think about the scene?
j: the scene dudes care too much for
the charts and for their so-called
carrier.. it's nonsens! friendship has
to be more important! i love the
momentary demo-scene, yeah cool! there
could be more originals and less mags!
* what's your deepest thoughts about
the amiga ?
j: it's good for playing games and
watching demoes and nothing more.. the
scene is lame.
* which is the best disc magazine?
j: corruption of course. bild zeitung,
bad news and hotshot are the only
competitors nowadays. mamba is also
not bad, but they have written too
much shit lately. i like these mags
like gamers guide aswell, they are
objective.
* hotshot then?
j: a cool mag, but what about a new
main-menue? (ed. your wish has come
true!)
* describe a lamer .
j: that is someone who ripps or re-
cracks things and then when someone
finds that out, he declares them the
holy war (ed.do you mean wildcat/ics?)
as for an example this guy called
playboy. he ripped an amok intro. 3dk
and i noticed that and published the
proove of his ripping. lately he wrote
an anti note against me. yeah.. lamer!
suckers to the wall!
* do you often visit copy-parties?
j: i'm very regular in venlo. from the
next year on, i'll be on more parties,
because i'm getting my driving license
in a month or so...
* do you want something to be changed
in the scene?
j: i'd like to force all rippers and
recrackers to leave the scene. but i
think it's senseless... there are too
much of them.
* what are you doing in your spare
time?
j: i often going out to the bar or to
the disco in the evening, this takes
all my time in the weekends. i love to
sleep, when i find the time to do it.
school takes alot of my time. i played
some soccer and trained body-building
in the past, but i nearly stopped all
these sports. i also meet my friends
in the afternoons quite often, so it
isn't boring for me at all.

food: pizza, rumpsteak, gulasch
movie: all monthy pythons
country: italy and great britain

passiv - soccer, ice hockey &
handball.
animal: dog! i hate cats!
* what makes you really happy ?

jack daniels tennessee whiskey, beer,
sunshine, meeting with friends, beach,
good music, going out, having fun, no
school, sleeping, long letters and
phonecalls and to travel around.

the mornings, too expensive alcohol,
sendings without letters, cats, double
training, school and extremists.

dezert island? three things only!

travel back home.
* mucho gracias for this interview. do
you want to say something to the rest
of the guys in the scene?
j: try to get all the latest genesis
wares, including corruption. and then
be objective and vote for us, because
we really kick ass nowadays. but
always remember, that computing is a
hobby!
