Relax #1 (1989, .09?, Diskmag). code/gfx/music: n/a, editors: Tom, Marc. review: Just a single file and 50 blocks, but this very first edition of Relax manages to cram in quite a bit of info anyway. In addition to the usual news, rumours and charts, there is also an interview with Ross/ Sphinx, and little else. They do promise more for the next issue, so let's see... The outfit is really basic, and the selection method of the 10 different articles (most just say 'more next issue!') is mildly irritating. The "Relax" logo at the top of the screen with sparkles is ok, though. The music is a cover version of "The Look" by Roxette, done by SOMEONE in afl (according to text in the memory). There doesn't seem to be ANY credits in the mag, apart from the names of the two editors. Oh well, perhaps they did it all then :) The logo is signed "Tpa".   The release date is, as usual :), little more than a guess. It is based on information within the mag of an upcoming party in late october 1989. They do mention the mag will be released on the third saturday of every month. [glenn]
