 FRENCH SCENE REPORT
]---------------------

 by DEF KLF of MAD VISION


  That is obviously a hard thing to do,
because sympathy and rancour can inter-
fere my vision of a band.
  Nevertheless  I've  tried  to  be  an
objective  observer  of the most active
ST scene.
  Some groups are probably missing, but
I don't know the whole scene ; the MOST
KNOWN band are - I hope - in my list if
you deserve to be in this  scene report
write me,and you will be in the up date
of that article.
  If you are interested in writing such
articles about your country, and if you
think you are able to do it,write us !

] - THE CONCEPTORS:
                   A new little coding
band. Check  out their funny  "UN JOLI
MATIN..." a slide show with samples.

] - DNT CREW:
             A maggie some good coders
and some original sad cartoons,are the
positive  points  of  this  band. Some
coders of Future Minds joined them.

] - EQUINOX:
            They  were  one of the best
cracking band. They are now  one of the
only french band where friendship means
something.They are very good coders.

] - FACTORY:
            After about 60 cracks, they
have  been  grassed on an asshole. They
left the ST scene...

] - FUTURE MINDS:
                 Coding band , with  an
Amiga division.Not very active.Are they
dead ?

] - FUZION:
           They release game menus with
few cracks by themselves. They are  not
in competition with anybody now as they
are nearly the only one to release such
menus in France.They've got 3 crackers.

] - GENESIS:
   A coding band from Paris...

] - HEMOROIDS:
              They  are  working  on  a
megademo,rumours seem to say it will be
fab. Wait and See...

] - ICS (International Cracking Service)
The  French ST  division  of  an  Amiga
band. They crack... They've got modems.

] - IMPACT:
           They release many game menus
and did few screens for demos. They are
working on a 2 disx demo called "Town &
Country demo".

] - LEGACY:
           A not so old coding band, it
consists of  2 ex-coders  of the Reps &
few unknown(?) members. They did  guest
screens for different megademos  and  a
dentro called "my socks are weapons! ".

] - MAD VISION:
               We did intros  and games
menus,some intros for the Replicants...
We are now trying  to be a  coding band
and to launch our disk maggie. No  more
illegal products... Fuck the nark !

]- MYSTIC:
           ...coding band...

] - MYFITS:
         Two bands are nammed like that
1 has an ex-member of the OVR(Epsilon).

] - NAOS:
         They won GEN4 challenge , they
release screens for megademos...

] - NEXT:
         They worked with TLB on maggie
but they are known to  work on a  crazy
project:THE PHALEON mega demo. A so big
project  with  the  elite  of the scene
and it seems to be hard to debug... But
it should come very soon.

] - NO LIMITS:
              New name for some members
of the Empire prosecuted by the police.
They are  quiet  for  some  understable
reasons. They just spread  their cracks
abroad on modems.

] - OVERLANDERS:
                They  are  the  biggest
coding  French  band  (  high number of
members,and many productions ( European
demos,many guest screens...)) It's also
one of the oldest french band , however
the 1st Overlanders has nearly  nothing
to do with the Overlanders of 1992. The
1st were slagged off  by  all the scene
for different dark stories (ripping...)
  Now OVR joined the  UNION  and  are a
respectable band even if the definition
of group is not really good.It's rather
an association of good french coders.

] - OXYGENE:
            Already a megademo released
from this new band.Good 3d routines are
comming on a new megademo. A  quiet but
productive and interesting band.

] - POLTERGEIST:
                We  could  define  this
coding  group as the only arty-band  of
the scene.

] - PRISM:
          A band found by ex-members of
Pendragons.

] - PULSION:
            Make neat games menus , and
few game menus.

] - RADIATION:
                   A new cracking band.

] - THE REPLICANTS:
                   They  are  the  most
famous French band.One of the only that
began on  ST , 5 years ago. And that is
still on the top. They are  known to be
the most regular cracking band,but with
the departure  of  DOM  and  MAXI,  and
the  irregular activity of R.AL.  SNAKE
could have few problems to compete with
the  new cracking bands, but  the  Reps
seem to be immortal.

] - ST CONNEXION:
                 They were the first to
release a good sound track routine.They
are also an old band.In France they are
famous for their articles  about  demos
in "ST magazine", but if they have very
talented members , they don't produce a
lot.Lazyness is their business...

] - SYNDICATE:
              The french section of the
swedish band releases  game  menus  and
some file versions.

] - TBC ( the black cats ):
                        They  were  the
1 st to release  an intro  compil. They
released 2 megademos and are working on
new projects.

] - TBC ( the black cats ):
                      They   were   the
