³½ Lizardking/Razor and Colorbird/Razor at The Gathering'94 ³¼ by El Loco/Talent Author's preface: ²Colorbird is the HQ of the rebuild Razor 1911, and he is also a coder and maineditor. Read our news- section to catch up with why he's been in some trouble when it comes to swapping. Lizardking should be known to most of you, he's the musician behind many good and popular modules through the last years. The two of them answered some questions regarding the rebirth of Razor 1911, and Lizardking does also give us information about his CD and demo-tape, along with some questions that revolves around his music. ¹Well, Colorbird, you are one of the founders of the new Razor 1911, and we, the 42 staff, would like to ask you some questions regarding to the rebirth of Razor 1911. How come you wanted to rebuild Razor 1911, and have you ever been involved with the "old" Razor? ³Since I was the Swedish HQ in Razor 1911 during autumn 1992, I thought that I had some rights to the name... And I thought that the now so lame swedish scene needed a good group with a good name, and I figuered why not? ¹If I claim that you chose to rebuild Razor in order to gain some quick popularity, and live on the old reputation of Razor 1911, would I be wrong? ³Well, its a good name..... ¹So I'm right then? ³partly... yes... ¹What does the 1911 stand for? ³The original reason should be the old 1911-line routine, a routine which Razor 1911 invented. We must also mention that a condom factory should have been started then in 1911 as well. (What about trying 1911 hexadecimally? -ed.) ¹Have you ever been in touch with any of the old veterans who started Razor 1911 in 1985 on the Amiga, after the rebirth of the new Razor 1911? I'm here referring to persons like Dr.No, Lord Strangelove, Shine, and Sector 9. Do you think they approve of the rebirth? ³We think they would be happy when they see our productions... I (Lizardking) have spoken a lot with Mantronix/Phenomena (former Razor), and he thought it was nice that we rebuilt the group again. ¹You guys change groups quite frequently, especially Colorbird who has been in groups like Razor, Noxious, Scoopex, Jetset, Circle, Alcatraz and now finally Razor again, and the same goes with you, Lizardking (Strange, Alcatraz, Silents and Razor 1911) Will this be the case with Razor as well, or have you now found "THE GROUP" as some people would refer to their dream team? ³YES! Because most of us are old friends since 1991-1992, and we have been in different groups and met each other at parties and talked on phone and exchanged letters (Lizardking once a year... Gustaf, skicka oftare!) so when we have now got the possibility to work together in a group we have NO reason to leave and which group should we join? Which group could offer a better situation?? Me (Lizardking) have been working together with Tony (Also current Razor) and we have always been in the same group for many years... The same is with Deelite (musician in sweden), we do now have better possibilities to work together... (I like "..."'s!) ²¢ >> Continued next page <<
