Commodore Zone
A British C64 magazine of the mid-1990s whose composer interviews the sid-homepage reprinted: jeroen-tel (June 1997, reprinted with Warren Pilkington's permission), martin-galway (issues 6 and 7, typed in by Adam Lorentzon) and rob-hubbard (by Waz and Kenz, answered from Electronic Arts within 24 hours, about 1997). The interviews ask composers about their beginnings, tools, favourite tunes, the sid filter, unreleased work and remix plans, with the editor's remarks in brackets; a running gag is the question "who is your fave babe at the moment?", described as "one of the most often asked CZone interview questions". Readers were in Britain — Tel is asked whether his CDs can be ordered "from England", Galway and Hubbard what living in the States is like compared with Britain (sources: s-sidmusic-jeroen-tel-interviews, s-sidmusic-galway-interviews, s-sidmusic-hubbard-interviews).

- (unverified) "Waz" is Warren Pilkington's handle; the raw pages credit "Warren Pilkington" for the Tel interview and "Waz and Kenz" for Hubbard's without linking the two.
