So beautiful are the bees and flowers. Have you ever thought abouthow beautiful bees and flowers can be? Sometimes, when I'm alone in the dark cellar, I can hear bees buzzing like the bulldozers do.. buzz buzz, around and around. Makes me laugh. No wonder they shut me down in the cellar... |SONIK CLIQUE, - Fish and Chips issue 3| Today I figured out some important things about light washingliquids and washingmachines. Something different, something... orange! |Coding ... Deflector.| Only red ones go faster! |Gfx and design ... Oxide.| I've been making plans, because I'm an unconscious man. |Music ... Maza, Oxide and Stargazer.| I feel like a suburban tunnel-rat sneaking in smelling sewers, never finding his way home. |Blunted text ... Dole. (With some help from Jartza.)| My whole life, nothing but sewers and running up and down through a rainy world, day after day. Please, help me. I fell and fell, and now I feel like a banana and they're ripping my skin off. They put me in a cold shower, it makes me feel unpleasantly fresh and clear... I need some drug to calm me down. Gimme that pigeon and I'll bite her legs off. I ain't no fucking fundamental bot... I'm just mental... freaky. This text is really mental and freaky shit, fuck mental bot. Bot bot. Mental! aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHrgh! Mental! ...sorry Did I lose my grip? Huh... What I was about to tell you was about my mother. She is. But, don't worry, my beetle is a RED one! Freaky friggin skyless cloud, isn't it all. Makes me touchy. Vegetarian blood leeches, this is what we need. No technique, just pure style. Automatic savers save the world. Save the world! Free the world! What do we need this stinking world for anyway? |the SONIK boutique. P.O.Box 43 FIN-02181 Espoo Finland| What is life? Life is drinking pink strawberry juice from a transparent rum glass. There is a story about a virgin pigeon. A sad story. It all begun from a crack in the braincore. So, from the crack in the braincore a peaceful virgin pigeon flew away. Sadly crawling she flew forward. A sudden random aggression launched a rocket and the virgin pigeon blew up and away. The virgin pigeon's virgin blood stained the red carpet. I'm so deeply moved by this story that I must go and get something to eat. Right through the window. Final act. Final smash. Final end. A goal. Ain't the world mental? I've been drinking too much that light washingliquid that he pumped out from my mother's sky-blue car's cleaningwaterpumpthing... Actually it's just a cleaningwaterpumpthing because I couldn't register it. Why are all my mothers sky-blue? BURN THE BOT! I'm praying here... Heard my famous animal trilogy? As a prolog I must announce that I'm a lion! Lions are the rulers of the whole multiversum. Our mothership cruisers fill half of the known galaxy. Our interstellar starships are much smaller, their size is equal to a starsystem. We use starsystems as a fuel when we cruise around just for fun. And then there are mooses. Mooses are our overall opposites. To visualise their size, well err, you could insert dozens of their motherships in a matchbox. You can identify one from a plate in their forehead saying 'this guy is a looser!' Then there are of course moles, who rule and live in the elemental forces of the versums, and they are almost unbeatable when habiting the elemental force of their own. Capercaillies are the weak nomads worldwide, but they are unbeatable in climbing. The world is mental... [Slavework, i.e. adding the 'normal' stuff and editing by Murk.] Yeah, right, it's Oxide writing.. After a rather unusual start I'll continue with some normal text. The story has come to its third exciting chapter and another issue of Fish and Chips is ready to once again undo all speculations on the continuation of our imaginative serie.. This time it was my turn to do all the work on the design and the graphics. The design doesn't exactly offer you anything new or revolutionary, but actually, I don't think this really would be the right place to demonstrate the wildest new trends and styles.. Hopefully you all like the monotoniously grey design anyway, and appreciate my hard work even a bit.. I think that all the six tunes in this issue are of a quite good quality and right down the line show strongly the influence of the C-64.. Like always, we had a small problem with music and particulary finding a completely working player.. At first we tried to use Complex' new Trackerpacker, but after we discovered how it sucks, we decided to use P60 by Guru/Sahara Surfers.. (Sorry Complex, but your player didn't manage to play all the modules correctly..) Well, hopefully this time's portion of fish and chips will tide you all over till dinner and the next issue of Fish and Chips.. btw: If you aren't stuffed after the main course, you can always try to find the hidden part and enjoy frutti di mare.. In the fourth issue of Fish and Chips you can find another multifaceted collection of chiptunes, some brand new tunes from Grim and of course a normal bounteous package of Stargazer, better stay tuned!! Some messages to my friends: Stargazer/Soni[k] (I think we wouldn't have made it this time without your efficient work!) Yolk/Parallax (no!) designs (Waiting for your demo, hah! See you at the Assembly anyway.. [DO NOT spread previews of our old modules, sukka! -murk.]) Bundy (Still inactive? I Hope to see you too this summer!) ..and an enourmous commendation must of course go to the whole Sonik team for unlimited support and on the whole for the splendid work you have done lately! A special greet also to the old fart.. Dole (Never stop being the fucking best, eh?) Well, I don't have anything else to complain about, so I leave you now and let somebody else take over the show.. If you want to contact me for any abrupt reason, here is my address: oxide/sonik poste restante oo8oo helsinki finland .. See you no later than in next marvelous issue of Fish and Chips, bye!! ...what's up FOOLS?! It's the SONIK clan rolling again with unstoppable force. Your host at the moment is no other than PHUNKIE FELLAH the one with crazy fat texts and dope metaphors, so all ya low down couch potatoes better duck down. This is no pop-shit, but pure fat chip beats with dope ass design and stupid tetxts, so ya all better watch your backs... Shiiit, I passed my finals just a few weeks ago, I am filled with lies that our school system has forced me to intergrate to my personal knowledge. We all live under the shadow of our education and suffer from its burden, but life is what you make it to be. I will enjoy my life, like tomorrow me and my bros gonna raise the roof, because GEORGE CLINTON is coming to town and we are going to see him perform. Three and a half hours of straight P-FUNK and people gettin' crazy blunted, nothing can beat that. Oh maaaan, we will wreck the place to splinters... Well as usually I got to give my love to the entire SONIK clan, you all got the Bo Bos. Ninetyfo will be our year, and we will never change our style (ain't that right, Murk?). I am ghost.. Now it's Deflector's turn to bore your ass with some bytes to this scroller and some usual greetings. I'm not going to write any normal text at all because this sucking production has drained me out of ideas and it's something like 2:38 AM.. ZZzz... Mmh?.. Back again... BTW. If you wonder why there is |April'94| in the very beginning of this issue then I must clear things out a little bit. Although this one was accomplished in April we decided to release it a couple days later in May and it would have been a too hard job for Oxide to discard the |April| and replace it with |May| (What a lazy bastard..... hehhe...) So that's why... Uh.. Now I have to go sleep a little bit, but before I go I'll send the greetings... Jam, Tukan and Boomer (Local upload rules but beware of cyberbugs and trojan horses!) Destop (Viinta kansalle! Kylla Olli tietaa.. Hehe..) TMC (Terraario - The final frontier) Linq (oHO!).. Now i have been dominating this scroller long enough so the keys are therefore handed to SGGGRRRRRRR..... [MUREENA] -Eek, it's Stargazer writing! This time I'll only throw up my personal greets and my contact address... here we go: Clawz/Complex - Nice Tom and Jerry sticker, thank you! ... RMC/Ads - Nor Bretter is great! Heartcure will never die! :-) ... Eczema/NoTeam - Onnea Ylioppilaskokeeseen, hehe! ... Tomy/Rellu Inc. - Hitto, taas ojaan... Sascha/Applause - Sorry for not answering you till now, hope you like this prod ... Jazzcat/Illusion and Sonic Temple - Hope to hear from you soon, Piotr! ... All S0NIK dudes - especially Oxide-Murk-Defu-Phunkie Fella (or whatever, send my TAPE!!!)-Syndrome-Maza-Omar and all the others... and greets mit kein Message to Mac!-Hex-Rantasen Mikko-DST (Puhelinterroristi, -tana!) + everyone I met at the Party III... Send letters !without! disks to: Antti Oksanen - Lehmuskaari 19 - FIN-16300 Orimattila - FiNLAND ... Jummi Jammi Okki Vokki Tingeli Tangeli Tom Tom Tom! Amen. This is Murk writing, the one you love and hate at the same time. I'm trying to get a grip of this keyboard, but my room continues to spin around. Yesterday was another day spent with the locos from SONIK. Yet another crazy trip ending in total chaos.. You have maybe wondered why there hasn't been any productions from Sonik lately. Well, honestly I don't really know.. We've been working on FC3 since issue two, then we started working on |La Femme Fatale|, but I guess it won't be finished, since we ran out of bitplanes. Experiments, the follow-up for Gastric Ulcer has been re-re-re-designed (at least three times) but it should (heh..) be finished for the summer. Rebirth Of Slick is finally released (at the same time as this issue), it got delayed because some changes and the fact that Dragzter is also doing his miltary service. [It was designed last August, so it may look a bit dated (?)] There are some other projects under work, but will inform you when the time is right.. Hopefully this production has brought some light into your life. It's a shining star, that will shine even tomorrow and the day after. Many hours of work, fun, arguing and dizzyness are behind, but there is still a world to be conquered. A world full of secrets.. But beware! The day you stop searching, is the day you sign your death certificate. If you run out of fuel, you're gone. The easiest way is never the right way, remember that. You can search your whole life, and still you won't find anything. That's because you don't know what you're looking for. But then again, you're only human.. Maybe we'll someday find what we're looking for. That'll be the day when we'll stop digging, and start a new life. A life with true values, a life without you. That's the day of victory, when we finally have overcome the basic human needs, such as an alter-ego. And guess what? That's when you notice how much you really loved us... There you have it, it's just too bad you don't understand it.. If there are any artists / traders who want to get in touch with me, try the ad in the beginning (The P.O.Box). TJ 161 04/05 1994 Wrap.
