----------------------------------------
 here's another interview! this time it
 is with morpheus/flash inc.!

 - tch and r.c.s./brutal recall
 + morpheus/flash inc.
----------------------------------------

 -yo morpheus, please give us some facts
  about yourself!

 +ok. my name is andreas wallstrom and
  i'm 18 years old. i'm right now stud-
  ying economics and that takes most of
  time, so therefore i don't have that
  much time for the computer nowadays.

 -when did you start on the c64 and in
  which groups have you been in?!?

 +i got my first c64 in september 1984
  but i didn't do anything special ex-
  cept playing games. i joined my first
  group in 1987. at that time my handle
  was hook 2001 and the group quick
  quartet. really cool! later on i
  joined a group called peek & poke,
  and at that time i also changed my
  name into morpheus, so i have had my
  handle now for over five years. we
  could not do anything but swapping
  and that group died quiet fast.
  then followed pentangel. that was
  basicly the same group, just some new
  members joined. we released some
  demoes but nothing special. gemini
  followed. and at this time even i
  started coding. but, i totally failed.
  then some friends of was about to
  start a new group and so i joined.
  the name was eltronic(the name came
  from a alarm-clock) and we made some
  really cool demos but it was not
  enough. after the horizon party 1989
  we splitted up, mainly because the
  members in the group could not stand
  eachother. i joined my friends in zone
  45. but i didn't stay there that long.
  epsilon(an old fhi member), wanted to
  start a new group and zodiac from
  flash inc was about to join according
  to him. he didn't because he didn't
  wanna leave his friends behind, so
  instead we got the offer to join fhi.
  that was in october 1989, and i've
  been in the group since then, and that
  means that i'm one of the originals!
  right now we are celebrating our third
  anniversary! and that's it. i could
  have made this story much bigger but
  i don't have the time nor will.

 -where did you get your handle from and
  why did you pick this one?

 +ahh, i got it from the game morpheus.
  as i said earlier, my handle before
  morpheus was hook 2001. a friend of
  mine didn't like it and said it was
  very bad. i simply looked through some
  swedish papermags, and i found the
  name there. why? simply because it
  sounded good, and besides, morpheus is
  the dream god and that fits kinda
  perfect to me.

 -who are the members of flash inc. and
  what are their job(s)?!?

 +zodiac (coder, swapper)
  unifier (coder, hshot editor, swapper)
  creeper (graphixer, swapper, modem)
  crept (graphixer)
  moon (musican, zero speed swapper)
  shade (musican, swapper)
  zagor (graphixer)
  zoris (graphixer, swapper)
  the spy (coder, swapper, modem)
  lubber (coder)
  metal (musican)
  aslive (mega swapper)
  me (hshot editor, graphics, swapper)

  i don't know if i forgot some, but
  i'm to tired to remember. sorry.....

 -what is your opinion about the scene?!

 +it's getting more and more boring i
  think. the main reason is that it gets
  more harder to find something new.
  today, concerning demoes, there isn't
  much that haven't been done. but i
  think the scene will live until year
  2000 anyway.

 -brainstorm...

  brutal party...too less c64
  hotshot...the best!
  cracks...i don't care
  lamers...coooool dudes(tjost)
  girls...my girlfriend
  sleeping...great
  amiga...games
  charts...boring
  food...pasta
  dildos...mine(?)
  music...thrash
  booze...headache

 -what do you think about the so-called

 +there is no "elite". there's either
  the normal hacker or lamer.

 -what are your favourites...

  food...pasta
  drink...mer
  computer...c64
  music...thrash
  movie...lethal weapon i,ii,iii
  demo group...flash inc
  cracker group...legend
  magazine...corruption
  cracker...doc/legend
  coder...zodiac(!)
  graphician...mirage, crepper, crept

 -do you have any enemies?!?

 +yepp! that's something that belongs to
  all this. well, we had a fight with
  panoramic but i think that's over now.
  you can even talk to them at the
  parties! and there's light. i don't
  know why, but i gotta do with some old
  scroll-text or something. mainly it's
  spirou, an arrogant bastard, who i
  disalike most. and maybe you've read
  the latest smooth criminal. then you
  understand...

 -what about your future plans,or do you
  live from one day to the next...

 +when i quit my econimic studies, i'm
  gonna be a rock star. i play in my
  own thrash band "morgue", and later
  this year we will record our first
  album. geddit! but if i don't get that
  far, i wanna be in the advertisement
  business.

 -do you have a girlfriend, if yes then
  tell us somethings about her?!?

 +yes, ofcourse! her name i madeleine
  and she's as old as i am. i can just
  say that she is the girl of my dream.
  check in the new bullet proof, becoz'
  the crazy dense begged on his knees
  for the picture.

 -do you have any other hobbies?!?

 +music is the manor one. but i also
  do different kinda sports, like
  badminton, bandy and stuff like that.
  but i guess the manor hobby is to
  stay together with madeleine.

 -if you could rebuild an old elite
  group which would it be then?!?

 +probably judges or 1001 crew or even
  the real triad with mr. z ixion and
  the guys.

 -just as you thought this was going to
  be a normal interview,we'll kick off
  with some special questions which only
  morpheus can answer right...
  okay,as you're editor of the best mag
  in scandinavia,you must recieve quite
  a lot of stuff for your mag. what is
  the average amount of votesheets you
  recieve for each issue?

 +you better ask creeper about that
  since he's the vote-counter slave. but
  i don't think we get as much as you,
  mainly because we haven't got any
  mega-swapper to spread the sheets.
  now we have aslive, so...

 -hotshot has,just like lots of other
  mags,some 'delays'.  is this because
  you're bored of editing it,or is it
  due to another reason?

 +sometimes it get's really really
  boring. but then i don't write it.
  it's not like i'm obsessed writing
  text for it. but the main reason is
  school. i study economics and that is
  fucking hard(i think). but i tell you,
  hotshot is the longest lived mag!

 -as mageditors among eachother,what is
  your favourite magazine and why?

 +corruption because i like that way
  jack daniels write it. he's writing
  style is very much like mine in some
  ways. but i don't think there is a
  no 1 mag, every mag got something
  i don't like.

 -you told us that hotshot will get a
  new outfit.  could you please tell us
  something about it,or is it one big
  secret project?

 +no it's no secret. it will be alot
  of graphics, because i think that it's
  one hell of a important thing to have
  in a mag. and there's some new funct-
  ions aswell, but they have to wait!

 -lots of people out there start their
  own magazine,nowadays!  what do you
  think about this and what do you want
  to say to those fellas?

 +that suck! you know when we started
  hotshot, there were about 20 or some-
  thing, but now it's has increased
  up to let's say 50. i don't like it,
  because everyone thinks that their
  mag will be the greatest. why not
  support one of the big ones instead of
  sending it to lame mags? i just wanna
  say that all you who don't have a
  really good mag, stop making it! don't
  waste your time, because most of the
  scene guys will ignore it anyway.

 -you sometimes come up with the ideas
  for the flash demos...  where do you
  get these ideas from and what inspires
  you best?

 +some ideas from amiga. sometimes i sit
  down and just trying to figure some-
  thing out. the thing i keep inmind is
  that the idea must be that good, so
  it will give other groups a shock.
  i'm inspired from some books i got,
  there's just pictures but i'll
  change them into something you can
  code. strange but it works.

 -it has been quite some time since the
  "legacy 2" has been released...
  is there a new demo coming up,and when
  should it be available?

 +yes that's right! we are lazy as
  everyone else. the new demo will
  hopefully be released in august, on
  our meeting. but it also depends on
  if we have enough parts that is good,
  so we can live up to our reputation.
  that's quite hard...

 -recently you got yourself a new
  composer called 'shade'...  where did
  you find him?

 +from a lame swedish that i don't
  remember the name of. he's getting
  better, but he's got to improve more
  to reach the top! we also got metal
  from sacred noise/bonzai. i guess you
  will hear their music in our new
  demo.

 -just some time ago,aslive/hysteric has
  joined your forces...
  why do you need a megaswapper of his
  size?!?

 +first, he's both in flash inc and
  hysteric. and why? because we need
  a mega swapper to spread our warez and
  we also need someone to spread the
  hotshot votesheet. this is the first
  mega swapper we ever had. actually
  zodiac had the most contacts some
  time ago...

 -i think i've also seen some graphics
  from you in a demo...
  do you paint very often,and how long
  does it take for you to finish it?

 +my bigtime as a graphixer is
  over. nowadays, i let the job over to
  the ones who really can draw. i lost
  the interest of spending hours just to
  draw one single picture.

 -are you in to the modem-scene?

 +not that much, it's hard to get at's
  right now. and i don't wanna try
  blue boxing and stuff like that. too
  risky. but i call the swedish boards
  yes. we have one bbs with antic called
  the subway, call it!

 -if flash inc. dies,will you quit the
  scene or join/form another group?

 +if flash inc dies(we will never do
  that but anyway) i'll probably join
  someother swedish group.

 -how would you discribe the flash inc.
  demos.

 +demoes with great(!) coding. the
  design is geting better, but still
  not enough. the graphics is simply
  cool(hej kim lamer)! the music is ok.

 -well,i guess that's all...  is there
  anybody who you wanna greet?

 +all my contacts and specially to
  those who i've met, talked to and
  stuff like that. you know, the ones
  i know more personally. you know who
  you are.....

 -thanks for this mega-giga interview!

 +it's ok i guess. good luck with
  brutal recall in the future!!!!!!
