_____________________________________ INTERVIEW WITH DAD OF IMPACT _______________________________________ KLF: Could you first present yourself. How old are you, what do you do in the band ? What is your configuration on ST ? DAD: Hi everybody. I'm about 20 springs old. I do some stuffs (ex: gfx digits, musics digits), a little bit of swap ( utilities, disk mags...). And I also code lotsa things in GFA. I've got a 1040 STF,monitor color, Handy scanner with emulator mono, ST replay 4, Ultimate ripper, Printer Star LC 10, Hard disk 52 meg, external drive SF, 3 joysticks, 2 Atari mices, many books and magazines about ST, and at last about 500 disks on ST, 100 on Apple 2C and 50 on PC. KLF: Is Impact your 1st band ? DAD: Impact has existed under different names ( Bat Boys,Alien Nation ) but it was almost the same band as the current Impact. KLF: What are the next productions or projects from Impact ? DAD: Ayoros might release a megademo on 2 disks called: "TOWN & COUNTRY", but at the present time, I decrease the rythme of my activities, and I'm thinking about going on PC compatibles. KLF: Why do you want to leave us ? Aren't you interested in the next Atari ? DAD: I've stayed for 3 years on Apple 2C, and 5 years on ST,and I've realized that all I learnt on ST, can't be used for my professional life. And I think the fight Amiga vs Atari will never finnish, so I'm not interrested in the Falcon & I've decided to do a high jump on PC. KLF: Do you realize that on PC, the demo scene sucks ? DAD: I'm conscious, and I'm sad, and it can be explained by their high prices for a decent configuration on PC. But I must learn how to use many softwares ( AutoCAD...). KLF: Back to the ST. What are your favorite bands or people on ST ? DAD: Pompey Pirates and Superior for the quality of their menus. Impact whose members are very cool and enthusiastics. Mad Vision, the megaswappers. KLF: What kind of music do you like to listen to ? DAD: Metallica, and the Rollins Band whose Guitars are dope. PM dawn, New age music, PE #1, NTM... KLF: Are lyrics important for you ? DAD: I consider lyrics as an important thing except if it Techno or House music. KLF: Do you read lotsa books ? DAD: Yes, I do. Many esoteric books, and a pack of computers magazines. KLF: Now, I'd like a little commentary about this list of things ? MINITEL: Megacool, but expensive. 1 MEG OF RAM ON ST: Indispensable, if you're not a lamer. OVERLANDERS: A good group of demos who gives a good image of France. BEACH: That's cool, but there aren't power points enough. POLITICIANS: 99% are rotten, it might be a vocation not a job. FAVE TV SHOWS: Metal express, Rapline, the Simpsons. LAMERS: Everybody has been in the beginning. YOUR MOTTO: Overpopulation is THE planet problem. KLF: As a conclusion,do you want to say something particular or give a few greetings ?... DAD: "Il n'y a point de hero pour son valet de chambre. (C.CORNUEL)" Might be in English something like: There is no hero for his manservant. Greetings to all members of Impact,Exec U/Zuul, igo/DBA, Bastards int, Penguin/AM, Mad Vizzzion, FL/Parx, Drax/TSK, CNC, Lee/ADR, DNT crew, Otari, TAZ...
