which group are you in now?
! i got my c128 in december '89. i lamed
around till january '90, coz then i
built up my own cracking-group 'the
cracker devils (tcd)'. i had ca. 20
contaxts and we were ca. 5 members in
tcd. we mostly cracked magig disc shit
or buyed from gp some hot originals...
in may/june 1990 i joined the group
tropic which exists today again with 2
old real members... in tropic i com-
posed with future composer some nice
musix which i had spreaded in a tropic
music-shower! that was the beginning
of being famous... in some mags i en-
tered on place 10... after tropic
died i got an offer from the group
acid. i joined and one month later
acid died! at this timepoint i told to
me that i won't join such a fuckin'
lame group again... so i met airwolf
from action at the crypt+dark angels
pardey in hildesheim. there i spreaded
my latest musix and airwolf liked'em.
so he gave my phonenumber to spitfire
and after some calls i had joined
action. that was in november 1990.
i stayed over one year in action.
i was swapper and musician in this
group. but as action died in november
1991 i left the scene, coz every other
group was nothin'... so i had done a
half year break!

he ask me to join arcade. an i did!
