Interesting one but I do not quite like their style, sorry! However, this should not be the reason not to try this demo, the music is good and the graphics are well, interesting in a way! =)
Kinda okayish prod, but could be cooler if it was less dark and, ehm. boring.. 8]

It's impressive, well designed and perfectly synchro!! The scenes are simple but nice, flat polys mixed with textured backgrounds. I really like this demo, it got STYLE!!!

Not my favorite, but I certiainly enjoyed watching it. I feel little for most colors and textures but the well-timed synch makes up for it.

Damn, I like this demo really much, even if it's not a technical demo. They made a really cool remix version, with a really powerfull music !
Watch it =)

The "Even Darker Remix" kiss ass big big time. In my opionion one of the best designs so far on PC. The Music is more than just cool.

"the guy in russia" actually likes you a lot 8) and, yes, "even darker mix" is cool.

I hadn't seen this one. Kthulu recommended that we see that when we were watching demos in the Icafe.
That time I showed I liked it very much! Ok,. it has flat polygons but compines some better fx too (Loved the radial blurry thing and the particle that burns the texts very much!!!)

Yes,. the syncs are great! And then we runned it with the "even darker remix!" Amazing!

First time I had seen it I loved it,. I don't know why!

Nice recomendation mate.. ;)

(note this is FR-06)
very good designed demo, with bad but very well synchronized music, no gfxs, a good code very fast
the win32 launcher is very good, a must see

there is 2 demos in one, see the remix, i prefer it, the music is very good and the design is better than the 'official' version, a must have, a must see!
i like this file. especialy the th-remix (and most the music of the remix) nice lyrics, nice gfx, nice effects. GO AND GET IT!!!!
added on the 2001-03-30 22:06:56 by syntiq syntiq
yay, the remix is nice, although it would be even better if there was no stupid text :)

fr generally do cool syncing - 06 is certainly no exception.

The "Even Darker Remix" was cool, when watching it at about 20:30, in a huge room, totally dark.
A demo that actually makes you _feel_.

Very good prod! I'm a gabba fan myself so it fits me :-P In fact, I started the 'dark' version, the bass started pounding me, I begun getting funky when... It crashed on me!

Right after the first black room scene. It exited to the desktop. And *very* few demos crash on my machine :-) I use a Hercules GF2MX, a P3/733, an ASUS VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, 512MB ram, Win2K, DX8 and latest detonators. Any ideas? Pllllllease! The dark version seems to be awesome! :-)

use the fvs32.exe from goldrausch and the black2k fixpack (http://www.farb-rausch.de/b2k_fixpack.zip) and it should work.
added on the 2001-10-03 20:58:57 by ryg ryg
I tried the fixpack and the fr09 EXE (btw I had to use the IMS.DLL from fr09 too), and at 800x600x32 it still crashed around halfway through (log snippet follows).

FCCF: opening file 'b2kth/nosfer.fnt' from archive 'b2kfin_th' (as 'b2kth/nosfer.fnt')
TEXX: added texture: width=1024/1024, height: 512/512, 9 miplevels, flags: alpha+low quality+mip maps, rid #031ee820
MAIN: presync
MAIN: start mainloop
TOOL: dx error: CreateTexture FAILED (#0x8876017c, D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY)

I have a 32MB GF2 Pro, isn't that enough? I think it even worked at 800x600 on my TNT2 M64.

update update update: the newer detonators (21.xx) seem to have some *serious* problems concerning video memory management for render targets.

update as soon as I find out how to fix or workaround it..
added on the 2001-11-15 09:45:32 by ryg ryg
thumbs up for even darker remix, perfect syncro, great flow and smoothness!

btw: newest detonators seem to have problems with nearly everything (canot initialise 640*480*16bpp on my machine and some different prods)
rulez added on the 2001-11-15 10:19:29 by PigPen PigPen
Vote it.
This demo is great prods!!
Cool code.
Cool music.

Ok, finally managed to get this one running (some textures are missing though).

Some known effects (say hello again to the nifty font-floats-away effect from fr-03 and some others from kasparov) and some simple, but effective scenes. Also we can find some typical fr trademarks, like perfect syncs and good textures in this demo.

Btw, I prefer the original version. The remix has better music though. :)

Awesome party version, even more awesome remix.

Rulez too much for (my) words. This could have a shot at the top 10, IMO.

i like it, but are the lyrics supposed to render love-sickness or a goth attitude ?

Nice sync, rulez a lot. Different from their lastest releases, that are more "technical" and push more polys.

Heh, somebody finally mentioned about MS Agent. The character will popup and talk if installed properly. And hate that wizard.

Fortunately for me, I got Peedy the Parrot the first time I ever ran this demo. :)

Peedy: Welcome to fvs32. Here you can configure the demo...
*clicks "Quit" button*
Peedy: Oh, you suck.

After three years the effects are gone a bit, but the music from this obscure "lr" is still fascinating me.

forgot to rate this one. set new standards in sync, music and transitions in 2000 from my point of view. (i'm also always searching the final) you need to watch the final "even darker remix". it is much better.
music: weird computermusic that makes you sing!
effects: perfect+sync
great for 2000

Crashed here too (check PS' comment) so I had to watch the video (i.e. I only saw the remixed version) and it's a pretty cool demo! KB's soundtrack kicks ass [I am not too sure about the vocals though =)] and graphics and effects are nice as well. And even if I would not have seen the video I would have thumbed it up just for the wizard at the beginning. :D

lyrics ruined it for thumbs up.
I prefer Panic's track
Never liked the cheese-creep-break-up remix as such, other than the idea to have a demo selector and allow multiple demos/versions in one package (put a similar feature in my own old fx tool). The original rocks though. You get Tron lines and butter cream particles with deft 1990s drum'n'bass. Still pretty cool. :)

The original one has one of the most unique designs I ever saw in the demoscene. The remix has a better track though. Still, very solid prod.
