TITLE:Could The East Overturn The West? PALETTE:0223 0779 099b 09a9 3 EASTERN KNOWHOW AGAINST WESTERN IGNORANCE... Here I'm standing now in the city of Dessau in the part of Germany formerly called GDR. This was supposed to be a party. Everything seems arranged. A whole schooldbuilding as partyplace, 400 - 500 people are easy to hostile. At the entrance we face a small but seemingly well videoscreen, much better than those we've seen at 2HURRICANE'92 1or 2CEBIT'931. The soundequipmemt is small but for the room quite sufficient - to be exact: Every phone blasting more out of the speakers, not necessary to prevent the listener with a maximum of clearness is pure (poor!) braggery. Every group that needed it could get a special room for itself. The weather was great. Weekend. But just a couple of dudes showing up. Nearly everyone comes from the regions of the former GDR. I as a dude from northern Germany really felt like being from a far off exotic country. So, after the date was good, the announcing was ok, the weather was great, the rooms and the equipment better than on many parties I attended before... WHAT WAS WRONG??? Easy. The location was wrong. It was 3EASTERN 1Germany. That's what was wrong. It's a sad fact that groups from former nations behind the iron curtain are laughed about. Only few eastern groups manage to break through the barrier of western ignorance. But - let's face the facts - Jellyvectors first very invented by a small Polish group (which name even I can't remember anymore). The idea only was optimized by western groups which later got the full fame (Nouh! I ain't thinking of 2MELON 1and/or 2ANARCHY1. Nouh!). What about 2APPLAUSE1, eh? Don't they have the design and the abilities? What about 2INFECT1? They come from cities like HALLE and MAGDEBURG. Isn't this eastern Germany or what? 2INVESTATION 1and their glenzes. 2MUFFBUSTERS. VECTORS. PICI. REAL DESTRUCTION... While the war rumbles, dudes in CROATIA still are active (e.g. 2ROD/POLARIS1). That's harder than sitting at 21 centigrees in a nice room, sipping cola/beer and holding strong words about those 3"OSSIS"1! Well, keep on showing the ignorance you are used to show. Maybe we all are just victims of what ROCKY BALBOA has tought us. The RUSSIAN is stupid and dangerous and never put trust in them or their allies. And if you now painfully scream out what a 'fucking' idiot this R.A.W. editor is, remember that you are born with the quality brand of being made in the west and praise the lord of capitalism... ... and forget about the fact that 2TETRIS 1- your favourite Gameboy game - is a Russian invention and that a small Polish group invented the jellyvector. Don't spend a thought that 2RUBIK 1isn't from America and your favourite 2VODKA originates from Russian potatoes. Sleep well. Oh! Don't forget to rip the music from this issue of R.A.W. (magnificent, isn't it?) with 2INFECTs EXOTIC-ripper1...
