From C64 Diskmag Wiki
the editorial yappa dappa merry christmas & a happy new year finally another issue of skyhigh is out again. many days have passed since issue 13 was released, and now issue #14 is comming to you. in last issue i told you all about what a hard time i had collecting all the text for the mag. this time it was much worse.... beside problems with my love, there also was another thing which caused this huge delay... my group pal didn't send much (besides rrr - which again did some cool chapters for you!!!) for this issue. lots of phone calls and letters have been made for the involved members, but nothing happened!!! something was going on. but what ??? well maybe i should have known it after the laziness for issue #13... but now it's clear to me : oxyron is dying!!!! yep that's right!!! tts and axis both left the c64 scene. scrapper has left as co-editor, so i had to do a lot of work in the last few days!! i haven't heard from pri for ages, so i can't inform you whether he's still on the c64 or not. but i have heard that he has started composing on another system. so oxyron c64 devision is more or less d e a d with a bit of luck they will bring a small demo at parties or whenever they feel like! i have just in this minute talked to rrr of oxyron. he will continue his work for skyhigh - cool!!! we talked about diffe- rent things, including getting skyhigh back to the regular release periodes. so you should expect to get skyhigh every 6 weeks from now on!!! we will do what we can!!! so eventhough the future of oxyron looks rather dark now, then don't worry about this magazine. nothing will change, except the delays! he he! be sure to get it in the future aswell.. - -- --- -------- --- -- - as a result of scrapper leaving as co- editor i myself will do the charts again so please send the votesheets directly to me from now on.. talking about votesheets : i could use someone to spread votesheets for me... i expect you to have at least 80 contax and to return the sheets rather fast. i can provide you with the sheets, so don't think about copying them yourself. if you have the possibility of copying them yourself it would be great! if not then let me know and i'll mail you 100- 200 copies!!! if you are interested then let me know! send a letter/disk to : BIZKID OF OXYRON XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX or give me a call on : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX - i speak both english and german - ---------------------------------------- well what have i got for you this time! ofcoz there's the usually chapters, which i won't comment now. furthermore i have a text written by my good friend nightshade of scs*trc. he has a responce on the chapter by crossfire of motiv8 brought in the last issue of this mag. more facts has seen the daylight concern ing the x-fire case. read for yourself and make up your opinion. a very good, and well-written chapter. this time i also did a kind of magazine review. not a really review but check it out yourself. you might get some hints or tricks you could use in the future. charts of '94... hmmm, what could that be??? yes, ofcoz.... it's a compilation of the charts brought in skyhigh through out 1994. see who was the rulers of this year! who's the best.. and then i, again, proudly can present 3 new exclusive tune in this issue. this time these 3 cool composers gave me their contribution for skyhigh. : -- ------------ -- 'disclosed' by zyron/antic/swemix/the remembers -- ------------ -- 'viby' by echo/bass -- ------------ -- 'skyhigh 1' by decoy/excess/natural beat -- ------------ -- a big yoho must go to all of you.. you are the ones who help me staying skyhigh if other composers wants to help me out with an exclusive tune then feel more than welcome to send a tune (or more!!!) to me. my addy is shown somewhere in diz chapter, or in the first addy chapter! i would love to see contributions from everybody.
