cracker Tycoon decided to leave the group once again, this time for Censor
Design.

while, they both joined Vision, probably early 92.

at the TCC 93 party at the end of may. News in Fairlight's "Reformation #3"
[06/93] that Yabba had left for Paradize on the amiga must surely be wrong,
as we have records of him being a member as late as december 94.

  review: This 3-part, small demo-thingy is an inbetween-release in the wait
  for Brutal III. Nothing exsceptionally interesting here, just normal
  demoparts with no innovation. The last one is a sinus-plot part, where you
  control all aspects with your joystick. Booooring... [glenn]
