In that particular case it was the WoA ’97 out at the Novotel in Hammersmith and quite frankly nobody wanted to go but me. It was a really sad event (in oooooh so many ways). Picked up a few games and stuff plus the last hardware I bought for my Amiga. So basically I flew home and transfered it to a cracker in Australia. As I recall it we still beat Hoodlum (or was it Hellfire) by hours on the Foundation crack (but I’m sure they will dispute that, but then we didn’t bitch about them doing Quake before us).

Sure back in the golden age we used to crash and crack at peoples apartments and in hotel rooms etc but this wasn’t the case this time. End of the era more or less, I have not gone to any shows after that one. Damn it was depressing there.

Tell me about it. I flew to the big things in London etc, got originals, flew home and then transfered them to the appropriate persons

OK I didn’t just visit the fairs for originals but when I was there I might as well …

There is alot to what BW says. It quite possibly be some sort of era thing. At certain points in time there where lots of groups in France, UK, Sweden etc but there seems to always have been alot of crew in Germany (or atleast with alot of german members). For every era there has always been atleast one really good German crew while the rest come and goes.

If nothing else success does breed success. One great groups leads to more since people had falling outs or decided to change names etc for various reasons.

WK; Lots of weird people in germany? Do you really have to ask ?

ALL might be abit of an overstatement but alot of the good cracking groups came from Germany. But then we all know that all good demos come from scandinavia (with less then 10 exception).
