i am,
you are,
he/she/it is
we are
you are
they are..
I liked the next to last effect the most.. And the best line of scene poetry was undoubtedly "I am fractal, you are nothing" :D

many cool effects, but bad execution. lacks of style.
Very nice graphics! Everything makes a clean and solid impression and runs smoothly even on my Radeon 7500. Also, the music is pretty cool. Very polished prod.

very okay but lengthy prod
The scenes were put together very nicely, Crisp graphics, With well suited music.
Good effects, but the demo is designed in such way that it gets very boring...so no thumbs up.
Probably my favorite demo from Asm besides MC's, ranked way too low. The effects are cool and the scenepoetry works extremely well. The scene transition and design are good and I like the simplicity, I'm tired of hundred-layer demos. I don't think it was boring at all.
All in all rather decent, but not really enjoyable due to many filler parts, uninteresting music and unnecessary scene poe-try. A weak thumb up.
face from baby dancer suxx.
some good fx sometime.

Interesting trip (or is it a manifesto ?)
Pleasure trip. A tidbit to long maybe. Enjoyed the laidback tune.
Yeah, kinda long and did not understand the philosophy (nothing new) but a nice experience. I liked the soundtrack also but as someone said, a weak thumbs up.
Yep, deserved a higher rank imho
Very nice, should've placed higher. That's what you get for insulting people in your demo ;) - too bad about the ugly env.maps :(
Even if it was too long it managed to keep me in the screen till the end. Because of the very clean and nice scenes/shapes and weird (a bit funny for me) lyrics..
mellow and enjoyable. Lots of filler as Tomaes mentioned but effects are still interesting
lots of very cool effects and quite atmospheric but suffers from a too slow pace and unimaginative design. poetry is naturally almost always a minus too. still a piggie.
Hm.. nice text indeed. Nice effects as well, but the overall presentation of both is boring. Thumbs for the experimental value.
I enjoyed this one a lot. The slow pace doesn't really bother me and the music fits very well. Also the poetry was above average scene poetry.
a plethora of effects and scenes. some very good, but i feel that others could've been tossed out to make the demo a little tighter.
A clear and stylish demo with some very beautiful effects. Not a crowd-pleaser, rather someting for private enjoyment. Could've been a little shorter, though.
Very underrated prod. Deserve much better place than 11th. !
best asm04 demo.
i'm amazed of the fact that scene poetry is still as wank as 10 years ago.
a bit too long and slowpaced, but there's lots of neat stuff in there
you are not, but your demo is
Very nice effects and atmosphere. Rules :)
scene poetry .. its okay :D
awesome.
too long and crashes in the end. kinda stylish even though there is no overall design
VERY SLOW, but it had some nice parts...
for fucks sake, you have near 7 minutes of a demo without a climax - you're CRUEL :D
seriously, you don't have to show every effect for 30 seconds :D

A lot of really nice ideas in here. During the party I was a bit bothered by the Yet Anoter Scene Poetry Demo feeling, but for Scene Poetry, it actually made *sense*
Should be much higher! Vote SUCKS!!! Great demo!
Typical case of how cool effects can be wasted with boring music. But deserves a thumb anyway.
MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC
too long and boring... but there are several nice thingies in this demo (but some are bad too)
sfx are so beautiful !
assembly04 demos are amazing overall but Zeebr is right: the votes suck!

Weird, strange and refreshing
a demo i wouldn't like to watch twice.. some nice scenes, but on the other hand, some which should've been cut off (like the one in screenshot :)
When watching this demo, I feel that a lot of work and heart has been put into it. Usually scene poetry is not a big hit for me, but in this case it worked out quite well. Definately should have ranked higher.
a bit boring, but there are nice parts in it (and way too much scenepoetry also)
boring.
absolutely rulez! this kicks ass as most other prods. w33d rocks, you guys leads!! i love you!! world release...
Rocks ! Long, but full of good poetry with simple clever scenes.....
Good effects, but there's a grammar error:
My heart are a power plant
should be:
My heart is a power plant
My heart are a power plant
should be:
My heart is a power plant
I like this one!
Full of good ideas

I've watched this a lot over the past few weeks, so why I haven't rated it yet I don't know. I think it's great, stylish, and the pace fits the downbeat music perfectly. The screenshot is probably of the worst scene in the demo btw, why'd you use that one? ;)
I didnt enjoy this at asm, cause it was too slow and I was sleepy, but now when I watched again, damn this was good.
This is perhaps one of the prettiest demos i've ever seen .. lots of really nice looking effects, and it deserved a vastly higher rating. Extremely artistic, but then again, the masses generally don't like art (which explains the rating). Assembly was not the place to release something like this. Still, damn impressive, even when Preacher showed me the unfinished version in advance! Damn fine demo.
+ Code tricks
+ Some nice visuals
+ Decent music
- Very questionable design and colorscheme
- Bad scenepoetry
- Boring
Weak thumb up.

nice visuals indeed, but overlays were crap. however, nice prod
.. and still this is one of my favourite demos ever!
When I watched this at Assembly 2k4 I knew I had to see this at least once more. Afterwards I regret I didn't vote this demo.
I like especially the scene poetry in this demo. Although the music part might not interest everyone, it fits the demo very well.

the thumb goes mainly for the music, which is really good, and for having ideas.
but the realisation is usually not so good.
and next time i see such stupid scenepoetry i swear i will instantly thumb down anything!!!

traction is from now on one of my favourite demoscene groups. I watched all your productions one after another and then I realized that every line of code that I'm writing is a standarized product. It's all made from specifications and documentations. I forgot about the scene's main goal... Well I'm happy that this demo got 11'th in the compo. It's not supposed to go into wrong hands - into public and popularity. Keep the good work guys and don't loose your style. You are the tools.
nice music + good style, ilike !
Damn, this is so awesome. Respect!
It felt a bit long, but I enjoyed it. The visuals are beautiful, the graphical direction is really solid. But the text is inane and lacks the punch of its witty pretentions. Not a big deal though. The music is more soundtrack than music, and not in a bad way as it punctuates more than overwhelms.
pretty decent. missing a few design polishing on a few effects perhaps. but pretty decent regardless.
The mellow pace suits my weekend mood. Only part I didn't like was the morphing envmapped "oil" sphere, the fractals were really nice though. Obviously a lot of thought went into this demo, the best thing in the demo is the music which really suits it.
I'm sooo happy to see this one between the breakthru performance nominations!
Surely deserved it

fucking good.
lots of scenes, lots of effects, goog diversity.
the scene with the grey screen and this blue ...erm, blue star with moving branches, or however u call it, is really bad. and some other parts could have been even better.
is it final?

impressive... i don't understand how this could be ranked 11th... =/
blup :)
i want to be a traction groupie
great visual!!
some glow effect was good.
and cool music.

some great fx. But it's too long
Scene prose/poetism sucks but rest of it is good.
Yeah! You definately "are"!!
Fantastic voyage.
different demo and cool effects and relaxing music and seeking with the keyboard!
the last point was not a new idea, i found out now :)
one of my favourites by traction right next to A Study in Lines and Textures!
I am fractal, you are nothing.
:)
:)
very cool!
Great, great effects and a soundtrack that doesn't overstate but doesn't get boring.. admittedly the text got a little predicable - but still a good concept; and again, great graphics

I don't need to see the same effect two or three times in the demo when it's too booring like that. lot's of nice ones though, but no thumb up because of the boring text and the ugly fonts! mediocre...
lovely!!
Nice Voice in the Beginning, long but not boring. Nice Particles and morphing objects. Flower part with "Crystal Face" was nice :) I am has again good music. Interesting looking "vector floor scene" dunno how this is real called. And again interesting usage of lines/cubsss/"puzzle effects.
Now to the not so good thing: perhaps some parts could have worked better with a little bit more content.

nonsense consecutive seem too long this time not qualified worth than other trct prods, strike weekly on the breakthrough performance.
Keep your nonsense for your (censored) google-blog. I salute you as demo-shock idiot of the year.
Rulez ofcourse, as is normal with Traction.

Smooth. The music is particular.
I don't like the scene with the eye, but other scenes are worth a thumb up
You know what ?
Fantastic design.
Big respect for you guys

very nice. rather sinister

A bit boring sometimes, but some good looking effects!
Kinda naive sometimes, but a great demo.
simply gorgeous
Yes!!
Very very nice!
Well, I loved this one. Refreshing as the day as I was born. Fantastic organic models, lines, grids, space and ideas. Well done. 9/10. One of the nicest of 62 demos I went through over the last week.
legendary, i love it
Shit, stunning. And it goes on forever.
The atmosphere... I cannot believe the atmosphere that you managed to put into this one.
It just blows me away, seriously.
Oh, and the music is amazingly done. It managed to entertain me throughout the demo (which is long) and although it kept the same pace and style, I never got tired of listening to it - damn good job!

Loved the burning head, music was bit boring.
I just had to revisit this... when this demo was released at Assembly, it was my favourite from that years competition. And it still is, even edging out Planet Risk, We Cell and Come Clean. Fantastic atmosphere, tight and well designed effects and one of the best soundtracks ever.
nice flow!
Sorry, but not this time...
CLASSIC!
A definite classic.
In case I had any CDCs in my pocket this prod would instantly get them all.
I a demo looks this modern after four years from the release, then in my opinion it is a classic.
Also I love all of the effects here, most of them being very innovative and visually attractive. And saying "I am fractal" cannot be responsed in any way other than:
Yes you are, and you're a good one.

I AM still so amazed of the quality of visuals attached to great direction and music that I start miserably missing some of the keypresses,
was of course meant to be:

Very nice with great tune.
Cool one
i see people are revisiting this one.. a bit lengthy, which makes it nice to chill out to. nice design and flow, still enjoyable. nice music. scene poetry could've used a little work, maybe. :)
I AM liking this demo a lot!
fantastic soundtrack, lots and lots of beautiful effects
very nice :)
geil
what a mysterious athomsphere, what a beauty of effects, what a unique style, what a fantastic soundtrack.
i absolutely love it.
i absolutely love it.
Great. Long but atmospheric, not boring, and I actually liked the scene poetry this time, and the empty backgrounds work strangely well, too.
Like it. Nice mood, cool music. Could've used a bit of polish.
I loathe scene poetry. All of it. Except this one, which I love. It's an integral part of this sublime demo. Hmm, technology/artificiality arguing with nature? :)
My first CDC, shall I have one, belongs here.

Traction still killing it after 7 years.
oh my, what an excellent soundtrack, demos as a whole is rather nice, pretty much just scene after scene with no transitions but a really nice show none the less :)

Well earned!
This could've benefitted a lot from some better design (empty pure black backgrounds, coder colors) and pacing (most scenes are a bit long and don't very enough by their length so they're hard to distinguish by that regard). I actually like the sgeneboedry, but unfortunately the typography is appalling as well. The music is great, as are most of the visuals at their core. Good individual parts, a lackluster whole.
Wow, in that year since the last demo something must have clicked - this demo is beautiful - even nine years later. Damn soothing, and somehow still pushing.
Soundtrack in this one rules, and a lot of the scenes do as well. I also disagree with the people who find the scenes oo long, I didn't get that feeling - instead it gave me time to think a bit about the poetry that tried to insult me as a visitor of this beautiful piece of art <3

Oh, and I had to start it as admin in Win7/64bit if that helps someone to make it run.
He is fractal, I am not. :)
The effects just kept coming! The soundtrack is great.

Well. Some nice effects. But is a effect show from 90's put together in 00's.
Nice tune.

great visuals, nice tune.
Doesn't work on an up to date system :'( Windows 10 x64, Radeox R7 260X ), any chance for a fix? And more resolution choices? Preacher? : )
