Top Cracking Group:
Pos: Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Success*TRC 429 (2) #2 Avantgarde 406 (1) #3 F4CG 329 (4) #4 Alpha Flight 1970 322 (5) #5 Chromance 251 (3) #6 Motiv8 173 (13) #7 Excess 166 (6) #8 Dytec 148 (8) #9 Fairlight 118 (11) #10 Hardcore 117 (9) #11 Atlantis 103 (10) #12 Triad 86 (15) #13 Laxity 78 (-) #14 Cult 76 (-) #15 TRSI 53 (12)
>>> Comments: Again, Success*TRC regain the crown with some brilliant mail releases and even the occasional crack from Burglar and Moren. Alpha Flight and F4CG move up places whilst the Hungarian based Chromance slips, but one may notice their huge activeness lately, so they should again rise the chart.
Motiv8 does a very respectable jump from 13 to 6, and so does their colleagues in the Swedish crew Fairlight with great mail-scene versions by Moonchild & Bacchus. Laxity provide the goods through their talented leader and cracker "Didi" and debut at position 13. Another new entry this month with Cult cutting in on some mail action at a respectable position 14. Old fame TRSI shouldn't deserve even the last position due to no activity on the mail front at all. Legend and Hitmen are approaching the charts.
Top single cracker:
Pos: Scener/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Burglar/Success*TRC 335 (2) #2 Jack Alien/Avantgarde 319 (1) #3 Bacchus/Fairlight 178 (5) #4 Derbyshire Ram/Avantgarde 158 (4) #5 Hain/F4CG 149 (3) #6 The Ignorance/AFL 118 (14) #7 CBA/TRC*Success 112 (7) #8 Dodger/Hitmen 81 (-) #9 Sneaper/F4CG 67 (-) #10 Mr.Wax/Chromance 65 (-) #11 Didi/Laxity 53 (-) #12 Renegade/Avantgarde 52 (-) #13 Rage/Avantgarde 48 (-) #14 Zar/Chromance 47 (13) #15 Moonchild/Fairlight 46 (-)
Comments: Burglar takes over the chart once again, I recall a very nice version of a game (maybe Walkerz (c) EBES?). Avantgarde's main man Jack Alien slips one place, but just see the point difference between the rest of the field and the top two! Bacchus makes a deserved jump to position #5, although activity will be a factor for him. The Ignorance does a nice jump for quality first releases from position 14 and will rise higher each issue. Didi debuts with some quality one file versions, mainly available from AFL EHQ "Escapade".
Close to the top 15 is the brilliant Crisp/TRSI and the Alpha Flight mail cracker Ream.
Top Demonstration Group:
Pos: Group: Points: Last issue: Last demo: #1 Camelot 441 (2) Camel Park #2 Reflex 437 (13) Radio Napalm #3 Oxyron 424 (1) Parts #4 Byterapers 385 (3) Extremes #5 Agony Design 136 (10) Love #6 Fairlight 128 (4) Skaaneland #7 Taboo 126 (9) Altered States Prv #8 Focus 124 (11) Visual Delight 2 #9 Antic 114 (7) Dein Zycrex #10 Nipson 103 (14) Burglarly #11 Light 98 (15) Brutal Comeback #12 Censor 89 (6) Blaba #13 Wrath Designs 71 (-) Courtesy of Soviet #14 Crest 67 (5) It's Coming #15 Chorus 63 (-) Revolution
Comments: Camelot again take over the legal chart, with the release of their new demo "Elite", they should hold the position for a while longer from their competitors. Reflex do the most noticeable jump from 13 to 2!!! Their new demo which should be out very soon may help take the lead. Byterapers will climb next issue after the release of the brilliant "Extremes". Agony Design come back with their 2 sided trackmo called "Love" which allows them to gain a few positions. Nipson and Focus climbed a few places, with the more older groups such as Censor and Crest losing places. Although Crest will gain more with recent activity. Wrath Designs deserved an easy top-10 rating, and where is Megastyle Productions and Flash Inc? Closing in on the charts is Vermes and Triad.
Top Single Programmer:
Pos: Scener/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Slammer/Camelot 317 (3) #2 Mr.Sex/Byterapers 289 (2) #3 Graham/Oxyron 215 (6) #4 TTS/Oxyron 214 (1) #5 Quiss/Reflex 114 (-) #6 MMS/Taboo 112 (7) Glasnost/Camelot 112 (11) #7 Tron/Fairlight 105 (9) #8 Raz/Camelot 100 (10) Axis/Oxyron 100 (5) #9 Druid/Agony/AVT 94 (-) #10 Crossbow/Crest 75 (4) #11 Bob/Censor 65 (8) #12 Depeh/Antic 62 (14) #13 Fuben/Oxyron 57 (-) #14 Kingfisher/Triad 45 (-) #15 Ed/Wrath Designs 33 (-)
Comments: Slammer moves up into top spot with Mr.Sex close behind. Graham gets a much deserved position after the very nice "Parts" from Oxyron. But fellow member TTS seems to have slowed up quite a bit and will maybe fall out of the charts soon. The highlight of this chart is the debut of Reflex programmer Quiss on position 5. Glasnost or Tron should not be so high as they have been inactive for quite sometime, although Tron is now programming again and likewise for Glasnost on the new Camelot production. Druid, as expected, debuts after the cool Trackmo from Agony. Crossbow and Bob seemed to fall more and more, but Crossbow will return with the new "Crest" product. Ed of Wrath Designs should be far higher, after the nicely styled "Courtesy of Soviet".
Top Single Graphician:
Pos: Scener/Handle: Points: Last issue: #1 Electric/Extend 230 (1) #2 Creeper/Antic 221 (2) #3 Joe/Wrath Designs 197 (3) #4 Cruise/Taboo/Elysium 195 (5) #5 Fazee/Taboo 181 (6) #6 RRR/Oxyron 170 (7) #7 Ogami/Fairlight 165 (4) #8 Cupid/Avantgarde 100 (-) #9 Rob/Camelot 90 (13) #10 Bizkid/Camelot 88 (12) #11 Mirage/Focus 84 (8) #12 Carrion/Elysium 72 (11) #13 Roder/Agony Design 47 (-) #14 Lord Red/Creators 44 (-) #15 Alien Prophet/Excess 40 (-)
Comments: This chart nearly remains the same at the top sector. Electric although brilliant, shouldn't be as high due to inactivity. Creeper may hit number one soon with the release of "Creep Show 2" at any moment. Joe of Wrath's position in my eyes is a deserved one after some cool multi-screen pics in the latest Wrath demo. Cupid debuts having done some nice logos for intros and magazines lately. Carrion should be higher and Deekay from Crest should enter soon after recent activity. Approaching the charts is Dane of Triad (graphics this issue!) and established graphician Hein Design of Focus.
Top Single Musician:
Pos: Scener/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Pri/TIA/Oxyron 353 (2) #2 The Syndrom/TIA/Crest 255 (1) #3 Jeff/Camelot 226 (3) #4 PVCF/Reflex 155 (-) #5 Compod/Agony/Amorphis 150 (6) #6 Fanta/Oxyron 137 (9) #7 Shogoon/Taboo 128 (10) #8 Zyron/Swemix/Antic 124 (5) #9 Drax/Vibrants 116 (12) #10 Jeroen Tel/Focus 105 (4) #11 Red Devil/Fairlight 76 (7) #12 Moog/Agony Design 75 (-) #13 Decoy/Excess 71 (14) #14 Zardax/Origo Dreamline 56 (-) #15 EVS/20CC 55 (-)
Comments: Funk master Pri makes it to the top, taking over from The Syndrom, who slips only once place. PVCF of Reflex seems to be the new contender for the number one spot, with a magnificent debut at position four. Talents such as Compod, Fanta and Shogoon climb the charts slowly. Jeroen Tel of Focus is finally slipping, his last released tracks were in the "Lemmings" release.
Moog of Agony will be in the top ten soon, with some great tracks lately. Zardax, stylish musician of Origo, will climb the charts after excellent tracks in the new Byteraper's demo called "Extremes". Approaching the charts is Arne of Alpha Flight, who deserves higher and Metal of Vibrants.
Top Mail Trader:
Pos: Scener/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Intruder/Avantgarde 250 (3) #2 Spermbird/Excess 239 (2) #3 Calypso/AFL/Amnesia 200 (4) #4 Derbyshire Ram/Avantgarde 148 (5) #5 Splatterhead/Success*TRC 114 (1) #6 Walker/F4CG 78 (11) #7 Didi/Laxity 76 (-) #8 H-Bloxx/Success*TRC/Excess 73 (12) #9 Syco/Chromance 70 (6) #10 Sebaloz/Lepsi/Keen Acid 58 (-) #11 Code/Dytec 47 (-) #12 Acidchild/Taboo 38 (-) #13 Creb/Dytec 36 (-) Dr.Kaos/Reflex 36 (8) #14 Shuze/AFL 34 (-) #15 Starlight/Extacy 31 (-)
Comments: Moving up the chart in last issue, Intruder takes the lead this time. German speed king Spermbird is at a solid number two. (ED: don't worry Robin, you'll get there soon!!) Our friend to the end, Calypso gained a position, but people should stop voting for him now as he has stopped mega-swapping.
Splatterhead takes a strange tumble from position one to five. H-Bloxx shows signs of action and is steadily climbing the charts. Lots of new faces this time like Didi, Coda, Creb and Shuze. Acidchild should be higher and where is Styx?
Top Disk Magazine:
Pos: Name/Group: Points: Last issue: #1 Skyhigh/Camelot 342 (2) #2 Nitro/Excess 328 (1) #3 Vandalism News/Onslaught 309 (3) #4 Shout/Equinoxe & Fairlight 247 (15) #5 Mendip/Arcoss 185 (8) #6 Propaganda 175 (6) #7 Relax/Phuture 172 (7) #8 Revealed/IMN/Camelot 116 (4) #9 Tribune/Angry 107 (10) #10 Insider/Reflex 74 (5) #11 The Pulse 55 (-) #12 Splash/Accuracy 41 (12) #13 Chit Chat/No Name 30 (-) #14 Driven/Style 24 (-) #15 Metamorphosis/Agony 20 (11)
Comments: The Danish magazine Skyhigh once again takes over number one, well done Bizkid! Nitro slips and may slip further if Excess lose more valuable members. Vandalism News remains firm on position three, one of the more active magazines these days. Exactly opposite is Shout, I don't understand why all of you out there are voting for this magazine when it hasn't been released since a long time. Maybe a placing outside the top 10, but a jump from 15 to 4 is ridiculous. Mendip climbs places, whilst BBS based magazines such as Propaganda and Relax from Phuture remain steady on last months positions. Inactive Revealed loses many places (Ed: new issue please!!) The Pulse gets back on its feet and makes the charts again. Driven, an original, very informative American mag, also makes a much deserved entry.
General Comments:
The charts were made using the Doxx/Noice vote-counter (Ed: Thanks Stefan!). Something strange I have noticed on several sheets is the inclusion of active/inactive commercial people included in the "scene" charts of the vote sheet. Please try vote for actual sceners and try concentrate on what is actually being released and by whom.
Once again thank you to the spreaders of the Domination votesheets. If you want to become an official spreader of this magazine or votesheet. Send a 'nice' letter to the editorial address.
Happy voting and best regards.
