- yeah, it seems that we have existed for five long years already. many of
- you didn't probably know that sonik actually is a living 'reptile' from the
- days of the old.
-
- that's one of the main reasons for releasing this intro. internally we
- already celebrated our anniversary with a 20h cruise the 4th of December,
- which (cleverly?) was called "winedoze '95" after our belowed OS. not.
-
- this production was developed during december 95, and contains work from
- the following:
-
- coding .... eye-q
- design .... oxide
-
- this might be a convenient place to include greetings and msgs, but since
- too many should be mentioned, and today's scene shows little respect for
- the old-farts, i guess i'll just forget about it.

-
- as you can see, after a slow start we managed to get our engines rolling
- in 1992 which was good year. the following years both indicate a move
- towards fewer productions, but higher quality.
-
- you could say that we "broke even" (ok, economical terminology doesn't
- really explain the matter, but.. ;) with the release of fish and chips 2.
- that was the first time when the "sonik sign" (the heart, dummy!) was used,
- and also the first time when attention was paid to the overal layout. the
- puclic liked this approach, and this was the beginning of what most people
- consider as 'sonik'.
-
- the year 1994 was a pain in the ass, although we had two nice releases in the
- spring. lack of insipration and hard self-criticism were both to blame, but
- also the fact that i (murk) joined the army in late -93 slowed things down
- even more.
-
- when i got out of the army in late 94, lots of thing had changed. nearly
- all productions were produced exclusively for the 1200, and at the time
- model and i were the only ones lucky enough to own aga amigas.
-
- after some re-organizing and encouraging things started rolling again. after
- my experimental (?) rom intro (and the joining of eye-q) things started
- looking better. oxide finished his long awaited f&c 4 design (long in the
- making, no shit! 8) and we took a little break. two intros released at the
- assembly, ranked 1st and 3rd, was not bad at all..
-
- the future? we'll see.. so many things have happened so far, it's
- impossible to say what will happen next, and what will be released. the
- latest change in sonik is yet another new meber, namely ASTRO! he joined
- from lemon., movement and virtual dreams. hereby astro = sonik! ;)
-
- (nb! astro is _still_ a member of cncd)
-
- in conclusion, you could say that sonik is a group based on _pure_
- friendship. most of us (90%) live very close, so it's not just a scene
- life, it's a way of living, or better yet, drinking. :P
-
- you can see that we've rarely entered competitions, only at asm92 & 95,
- simply because we feel that the scene is for phun, not the money. ok,
- winners get all the chicks, but who cares?! ;)
-
-
- on behalf of the sonik clique, i'd like to wish y'all a happy new year!
