-
- »CL0:Spot and Plus8 of 3LE are probably not
- among the most known members of the
- quite popular Swedish group. We
- decided to find out more about them.
- Here is the result. In the following,
- these abbrevations apply.
-
- EC: »CL2:Eurochart.»
- SP: »CL4:Spot/3LE.»
- P8: »CL6:Plus8/3LE.»
-
- EC: »CL2:What is your function in 3LE and
- how long have you been a member?
- (A bit about yourself, perhaps!)»
-
- SP: »CL4:Well, I do graphics and design and
- I've been a member since Nov`96 I
- also took my dear friend Plus8
- with me. but I knew some of the
- original members since a long time
- ago, so i guess I made myself at
- home quite fast. Now a little
- about myself: I started scening
- for real on the Amiga back in
- 1992. I was into the C64 before
- that but back then most of the
- time was wasted on gaming. :)
- My older brother (Hitchhiker of
- Digitech) was the one who got me
- hooked to the scene at first. He
- was awake all nights coding demos
- and packmenus and entering strange
- competitions and stuff. Back then
- I always adored those neverending
- bobs and the first time I saw a
- line vector it was already to
- late! I had become a
- scene-addict! Time went on I sold
- my C64 and bought my brothers
- Amiga and I have been in a lot of
- more or less known groups to
- finally end up here in Three
- little elks (???) I sure hope so
- atleast.»
- P8: »CL6:I do graphic design and promotes
- 3LE with posters and stuff. I
- joined together with Spot in Nov
- `96, it was a package-deal really.
- ;) I didn't know any of the
- members before, except Ant, but
- I've found myself comfortable with
- the others. Plus8 history: I
- re-joined the scene in early `96
- after some years in "exile". Spot
- persuaded me to go to Icing96 with
- him, and after that I was hooked
- on the scene. Again. To mention
- The Old Days, I got my first Amiga
- back in `89.»
-
- EC: »CL2:Do you like being a member/How
- come, you like it?»
- SP: »CL4:Jupp, It comes with age.
- Seriously, we are very good
- friends inside the group and thats
- actually what really matters. We
- don't release as many megs/week as
- Hellfire but I think I can live
- with that. ;)»
- P8: »CL6:Definetly. All of the members are
- creative and supports new ideas,
- and since I do graphic design for
- a living this was the perfect
- group for me.»
-
- EC: »CL2:Personally, I'm a great fan of the
- crazy style and design of 3LE's
- demos. What do you think of it? Do
- you make weird graphics yourself?»
- SP: »CL4:Do I make weird graphics? BOY DO I
- MAKE WEIRD GRAPHICS!!! Nah, I
- think that you have to judge for
- yourself. I think I'm a bit more
- into design and the overall looks
- rather than pure pixeling at the
- moment but that does absolutely
- not mean that I don't do some
- pictures and logos every now and
- then. I like the craziness in the
- 3LE demos but I think that there's
- a lack of design in some ways.»
- P8: »CL6:3LE has, in a way, found its niche
- on the scene, but some projects
- that are in the works right now
- may take 3LE in another direction.
- But to cite my good friend Yoda:
- "Always in motion is the future".
- Regarding the weird graphics, I
- don't do any. Just freaky
- experiments with typography.»

- EC: »CL2:The ELK-animations. I'm pretty
- sure that everybody loves them.
- have they come to stay? Will 3LE
- release a pack with them someday?
- (Please :-))»
- SP: »CL4:Some people say, some don't.»
- P8: »CL6:Silents is/are golden. ;)»
-
- EC: »CL2:How does the future look for 3LE
- in general? more funny demos? Any
- wild plans?»
- SP: »CL4:The future is quite bright if you
- ask me, we have a lot of planned
- releases and everything is just
- fine. The happy ones who live near
- Gothenburg (Spot, Plus8, Tabasco,
- Explorer, Android & Nude) meet at
- least once a week over a cup of
- coffee. Rumours say that there is
- currently a demo starring the
- ultra cute Hello Kitty and her
- friends under developement.»
- P8: »CL6:Not to mention the games
- department!»
-
- EC: »CL2:As you can see in the
- chart-section, 3LE has quickly
- moved itself all the way up among
- the most voted for overall groups.
- Does that surprise you?»
- SP: »CL4:No not really, there simply isn't
- that many quality groups left, and
- thats really a shame.»
- P8: »CL6:3LE productions always feature a
- sense of humour, and I think
- that's a major part of the
- "success". I mean, few groups
- manage to have a consequent
- approach to their line of demos.»
-
- EC: »CL2:Are there any plans of increasing
- the memberlist in 3LE? How's your
- organization? Are you all close
- friends outside the scene as well?»
- SP: »CL4:The amount of members is according
- to me just fine. But who knows?
- The organization is good, most of
- the times. I mean, we meet a lot
- and my phonebill is starting to
- get awfully high.»
- P8: »CL6:I think the same as Spot, except
- that I only got a GSM phone, so
- it's the others' phone Bills
- that's going sky-high. ;)»
-
- EC: »CL2:Thanks for answering! You are free
- to greet whoever you want!»
- SP: »CL4:Charlie says: Always tell ya mama
- before you're goin' somewhere...
- [Miiiaaaoouuuuiiieeiii]»
- P8: »CL6:I'd like to greet Kenneth. Hi.»
-
- We hope that you have all
- learned a bit more about
- this funny group by now!
