Interview
Zine: The history of your group?
Razor 1911: Razor was born in 1985, only on C64 of course. Some cool demos were released and we became rather famous. Unfortunately the group split in late 1986. But on the Danish Gold copyparty in 1987 the crew was reborn, this time as a pure Amiga crew. In the summer of 1988, we released our first real Amiga demo together with Thrust. The rest of the story you probably know.
Zine: What your functions in your group?
Razor 1911: Coders and leaders.
Zine: What do you think about your local Amiga scene?
Razor 1911: Local scene? Well, the Norwegian scene in general is not too bad, although some guys seem to imagine that they are the best after their first close encounter with the 68000 engine.
Zine: What's your opinion on demos?
Razor 1911: Too many demos are looking just like all other demos. Invent some new techniques. And: 431 Bobs demos are so boooooring...
Zine: Your favorite hobby?
Razor 1911: Computers and nerd-hunting.
Zine: Do you have modem?
Razor 1911: Yes.
Zine: A few words about phreaking.
Razor 1911: Well, it's certainly a cheap(er) way to make phonecalls.
Zine: List us the best demos you have seen in the last few months.
Razor 1911: RSI Megademo, Synth Sample 2 and Unique vectors.
Zine: How many swap partners do you have?
Razor 1911: Hmmmm, about 1911.
Zine: Will that number change in the future?
Razor 1911: It will probably be decreased a bit.
Zine: Is the fastness of modem-trading affecting you?
Razor 1911: Yes, it seems like fastness has become necessary these days, so you simply need it.
Zine: Tell us, what you know about the American scene.
Razor 1911: Some years ago, there were some good crews from the USA like UCF, ESI and NEPA. These days nearly all Americans are members of big European groups, mostly as sysops for their BBS.
Zine: Have you got anything good to tell us about others scenes?
Razor 1911: Amiga freaks from South Africa are cool.
Zine: Have you heard any good, bad, important rumors lately?
Razor 1911: Good rumors, A500 Kick Reset V19.11 will soon be ready. (This one is working!) Funny rumors, stupid Newsflash magazine put our first Kick Reset in their utility section.
Zine: Compare the Amiga scene to C64 scene.
Razor 1911: There are far too many crews on the C64, the capabilities of the C64 is now pushed to its limits, although there are still many cool demos being released.
Zine: What is your opinion on old heroes like BS1, The Kent Team, SCA etc.?
Razor 1911: Never forget them. (Get the Amiga pioneers disks if you enjoy the old heroes.)
Zine: Your favorite programmer?
Razor 1911: Jeff Miner and Sodan of Flying Crackers.
