Dear readers,

With september passing by, summer is
nothing but a vivid memory and whatever
that may bring. We're heading for 1996
at the speed of light, and believe it
or not, we are putting another year of
8-bitstory behind us. I still startle
at the thought and recall an interview
I read with long gone KARATE KID from
DOMINATORS in 1989. The last question
in the interview asked how long the
64-scene would continue, to which

KARATE KID quickly, and with self-
concience responded. "The 64 will be
dead in half a year!", and kept mumb-
ling slightly about the Amiga taking
over. I do not have to point out the
the igorance in this statement, looking
at it now, almost 7 years later. It
came even clearer when I spoke to him
late 1991 and he understood he had been
wrong. At that point he said he regrett-
ed having left at such an early point.
Even STRIDER from FAIRLIGHT claimed he
was sad about leaving the 64 when we
spoke to him at the Christmas party
in Aars, late 1992. At that point, I
was in G*P, and we were not on the best
of terms with FAIRLIGHT having put out
their game RUBICON. STRIDER found it
very amusing funragging about, but it
was all to all a jolly time. I pity the

people who were so hungry for the Amiga
and other formats in the past. Look at
their unhappy faces now. The 64 out-
lived the Amiga by far, apart from a
splendid demoscene, while the PC con-
sists of waresrunning youngsters. It
is awful, but most of the people on the
PC are 14 and would go down on you for
a callingcard.

No, look at what we have. A small, but
intense scene with an atmosphere that
couldn't be mistaken. We have the
groups, the cracks and the demos. We
have the magazines, the fights and
the struggles. We have 16 colours and
Sidchip music. We have all the fun in
the world, and a million people are
missing it. The 64 outlived them all.

      |THE INDEPENDANT STATEMENT|
      +-------------------------+

PROPAGANDA 19 is probably one of the
juiciest issues I have ever produced.
I do so, with a splendid staff. My
hardworking co-editor DEFF is expanding
his efforts in the magazine immensly,
and with the up-to-today-list, shortly
called THE REAL LIST, we are covering
the releasingrace on a higher ground.
It is still interesting however, that
some people prefer to accuse us for do-
ing a job benefiting only certain groups
on the charts. HOMEBOY from ONSLAUGHT
took the accusations out in the light,



and by golly did we drop our jaws. It
is ridiculous at this point, that we'd
even consider doing so. And we have to
be very clear on this issue. PROPAGANDA
is, and will remain an independant
production. And still, you have to keep
in mind, that even though producing a
magazine takes a lot of time, it is not
a fulltime job on the scene. That is
why we also take part in different
groups and join the race of releases.
So no matter how you twist and turn,
we will leave you with the same, dull
statement;


                   ..

    |       - Nothing else.       |

      A public message to HOMEBOY
     and people thinking likewise.

By the end of September, I NEWSCOPY
will take a brief vacation and visit
DEFF in Germany. Though having met
before, this is the first time in
PROPAGANDA-history, that the two main-

editors will in fact be working on the
coming issue on location. The world is
getting smaller and smaller by the min-
ute. Issue 2O of the magazine you're
reading is somewhat of an anniversary,
and will most definately feature some
nitty-gritty surprises.

With this issue, number 19, we also have
to take our hats of bow for a second.
Since issue 9, we have made it a welcome
habit including stunning artwork by our
friend and artist SCOPE. Passing away
tragically in March this year, we have
had a limited amount of pictures to
use. Therefore, we will now cease the
popular PROPAGRAPH-series, leaving it
to art-history. Thank you for all the
work, Mathias. You know how much we
liked and appreciated it.


That more or less rounds up the prologue
to this juicy issue. Flipping the pages,
you will realize how powerful and fasc-
nating the word and language really is.
You will most probably sought for more.
In that case, I advise you to also read
the few, splendid competitors we have;
THE PULSE, RELAX, DOMINATION and
VANDALISM. These, my friends, are mag-
azines who rightfully represent the
sections the 64-scene today.

                    Yours Sincerly,
