Danish editor and graphician Biz Kid joined from the recently deceased Ozone briefly in february, before taking Machine, Scrapper and Peace with him to join Oxyron shortly after - which means both that the mags 'Addybook' (Scrapper) and 'Skyhigh' (Biz Kid) are now Oxyron productions. Addybook #7 (1992, 28.03, Diskmag). INT - code: Peace, gfx: Kirk/Topaz Beerline/Plasma Design (addybook logo), Turbo B (blaze logo, sprites), music: Gerard/Sonic Graffity. MAG - code: n/a, gfx: n/a, music: Geir Tjelta/Moz(ic)Art, editor: Scrapper. Released at the Venlo Meeting. review: Addybook is a diskmag with a focus; addresses for swapping. There really are no other features to it. There are four 'chapters' here; Editorial, Charts, Addies and Addies II... the charts actually seem a little unnecessary in my eyes, since they bring nothing new to the table. So in reality this is a mag with little or no value apart from the audio- visuals... The graphics and music are of passable quality, ok but not excepetional. There are no actual credits for the mag itself, but probing the memory at least revealed the name of the musician. The tune carries a 1990 copyright, so was probably ripped. The disk came with a lot of extras; a note written by Mr.Mouse (using Flexwriter V1 by Flexer/Mystic) in february, detailing the addybook crew's intention to start featuring underground music news in the mag; a small 41-block contact intro (code: scrapper, logo: turbo b, music: drax/ vibrants); the cracks Chaos+ and Duonoid +2, and finally a note by Scrapper (written using Facenoter) for his contacts.
