{k{2 INTERVIEW WITH SEEN/MELON DEZIGN{1
{mSatanic Rites {ddare to ask arguably the Kefrens?
World's most successful group the
questions that require answers! {mSEEN: {d It's private!
~iff.jellyvector
{mSR: {d Seriously now! Tell us the
origins of Melon Dezign like how the
group first came together and your
role in the formation of Melon!
{mSEEN:{d We started up in Oct 1991 with
just myself and {mPaleface {d- we had both
come from {mAlliance Design/Quartex{d. We
wanted to start a group we fitted into
well - we didn't want to be just
another name on a memberlist. I'm a
graphics artist and a kind-of manager
{mSR: {d First of all, can you tell us why because we have democracy in Melon,
you're no longer having sex with it's not anarchic! I also invented
the idea of {mMelon Dezign{d. design is just about colours, but it's
not - it's everything, a demo's
{mSR: {d Some people have said that build-up and the like.
because your demos have good design
you can get away with not-so-good We always take a lot of time picking
coding. Is this fair comment, or are out the music for our productions and
these people only jealous? we always have problems with it!
{mSEEN: {d People just look at the coding {mSR: {d Are the {mEurocharts {daccurate? Do
in {mHuman Target{d and {mSOS{d - we've got you deserve to be at the top?
some pretty good coding and it's fun
because before we were Melon Dezign {mSEEN: {d No because we're only number
people wrote to us saying that we had #3! I think that the best groups list
good graphics, good code and good is giving a good reflection of the
music - now people write saying `Hey! scene - even though I believe {mComplex{d
I like your design'. should be higher.
It's really in the group name - {mSR: {d Outside of the scene, tell us a
people think that we worry more about little about yourself - are you
the design than the code - this is not employed or are you studying, and if
true - sure, it's a design overhaul so, what for?
with weird colours, some people think
{mSEEN: {d I'm going to a business voted {mYes{d. SO all in Melon Dezign
college, I'm 1m 90cm tall and blonde. said Yes - you could say that we're a
My real name is {mJehova {dand I'm 27. Maastrict-friendly group!
{mSR: {d What Amiga equipment do you have? {mSR:{d Do you have problems with high
`phone bills?
{mSEEN:{d CBM 1081 and an A500, model
1987 and that's it! {mSEEN:{d Yeah I have because I have been
talking too much to my friends in
{mSR: {d Not much? Paris. It's OK though - I manage.
{mSEEN: No! {d Because I hate external {mSR:{d Your previous groups: tell us
disk-drives because of the clicking, I about them - were they as fun as
hate hard-drives because of the {mMelon{d?
whirring, I hate {m Workbench 2{d, and
that's it! {mSEEN:{d The first "real-group" was
Kefrens - the {mREAL {dKefrens - not the
{mSR: {d How did the members of {mMelon{d bunch of wankers that are playing with
{mDezign {dvote on {mMaastrict?{d that name now!
{mSEEN: {d All our French members said
{mYes{d, I was the only member of {mMelon{d Then I joined {mRebels {d for three
{mDezign Denmark {d to vote and I also weeks, and I left because it was crap!
Then it was Alliance Design/Quartex `forces of the pyramids' will never
which was really fun and after beat us because fruits are far more
Alliance I founded Melon Dezign which wholesome for the human body than
is excellent. All in all these groups bricks and stones from ancient Egypt!
have been cool - except for Rebels
(sorry Jake!) {mSR: {d Do you have any last comments?
SR: Do you like arguments? {mSEEN:{d Some groups try to copy our
style but they really shouldn't
SEEN: Yes they're fun! One of my because there {mCAN ONLY {dbe one. It's
friends once said to me that he like Coca Cola - there's only one {mREAL{d
thought I only ever called him up to {mCoke.{d
argue with him - and he was right!
There's nothing more fun when you're
bored than `phoning someone and saying Also, could you dedicate this
you're a blah..blah..blah.. etc! interview to {mLaxity/Kefrens {d who's a
poor wanker because he didn't know
SR: Who CAN stop the Melonmania? what was really going on and therefore
acted rather stupidly!
SEEN: I don't know! It seems as if
Andromeda are trying to, as are the
new Kefrens, but don't worry, the more ->
