К> Please tell us how it was formed
your group and where did you start?         
                                          
P>  It all started with the school where we
together with  Andrey Gulov/CRIMINAL  so
say learned.  The group organized itself
when we completely figured out Asm
Then we released a small demo. It was
so long ago that I don’t even remember how she is
was called. The demo is certainly not very good, but for
us was quite good. Next megademo we
started at the end of '93, before this
it was stylish.  Well maybe you know
such a thing asEclipse megademo... This
was our first megademo on Spectrum...
Next we, so to speak, heard about
Enlight'95.   This shocked us greatly
of course, but there were no demos on Speccy,
as you know. Passed Enlight'96. We are demos
saw they were at a very high level
and then we decided to write a demo in E'97 and
it was called Amigo.  I drew everything
graphics, wrote several effects.

К> What is the composition of the group?                 
                                          
P>  In principle, the core Die Krupps - this is me and
Criminal.   In addition to programming, we
did other things too.  I was drawing
graphics. Criminal figured out the music, then
I mean, I wrote in Sound Tracker, then
Pro Tracker appeared, but it was buggy

Spectrum).  Then we climbed into it and
hackily fixed the polling bug

on Pro Tracker.                         
                                          
К> What does Spectrum mean to you?
                                          
P>  You know, I'm on 
I want a Spectrum account

good memories. 
Because Speccy 
for me this is 
more than just 
machine.   This is the soul

other relation: 
soft exchange, 
correspondence, friendly 
meetings, people write 
demos, etc.  On 
commercial vehicles 
there is simply no such thing, 
everyone thinks like 
earn more. 
                     
К>  Does it suffer 
Speccy from 
all kinds of advertising 
other platforms, which is usually possible
watch in demo and intro?                 
                                          
P>  You know, Speccy suffers a lot from
such advertising. These are, to put it bluntly, assholes
who write Amiga - rulez and that
like this, they really let Spectrum down!
Because people who read this
advertising, they just drop Spectrum and
dumped onto another platform. But in fact
In fact, the Amiga is not a cool computer.
Let them criticize me there, but I read
there is a lot of documentation and I know that
The Amiga is not a cool computer.          
                                          
К>  I once witnessed such a case:
one guy wrote in his Amiga demo -
rulez, but in fact he is an Amiga in general
I've never seen...                       
                                          
P>  That's the whole point, that people
not seeing the car at all, they shout Amiga -
rulez.   And those who bought this car are rude
talking to her they jerk off, and then cry that
Amiga - sux.   Let's take people, for example,
who came to Paradox, I won’t
to say who exactly, I'm with them
talked.  They had A1200 and A4000
they just told me it was no good
it's not in it. The point is that a good Amiga
take it, it will be very expensive, in
within $4000.   Let's take for example
Megacode.   This is a group from Vladimir.
Their latest demo is Refresh. They blamed it on
Amiga and think that it is rulez.   But I
I'm sure that some time will pass and they will
screw up.  The thing is that firstly,
on the Amiga they are nobody and nothing. Secondly,
no one is waiting for them there. And thirdly, Amiga
this is the wrong computer.ZX Spectrum is
the computer is soulful, and the Amiga is
complete sux!!! Write that way...
