oustanding beautiful production made by some positive thinking people of farbrausch!
the colors blew me away at breakpoint when this was shown at the bigscreen (no lsd used!). This production is rocking bigtime!

beautiful work! this demo is DISCO!

I really loved this demo! Too bad that the singing was so annoying, it would have been much better with "normal singing"

The BEST PC demo I`ve ever seen.. nothing more needs to be said.

bad vocals, great demo.

This is some slick shit! Slick slick slick. Perfect length and visuals and everything. (Too bad FSAA in DirectX doesn't seem to always work with the latest detonators. I hope Nvidia fix that soon...)

Good visual tricks and composition, beautiful!

i don't watch demo to see tv like commercial boring clips.

Beatiful looking demo with great use of colors. It`s so damn relaxing. Great work.

Thats it. I am quitting the demoscene!

Every now and then a demo comes around that is completely unlike anything else...

Like an american movie : no brain but massive entertainment, and it's cooler to watch it on bigscreen with audience than on your little pc alone (which does not necessary fits the requirements btw =)

nice, could have used more charactermovement though

for once "farb-rausch" really means something !
i was expecting to hate the demo, but after seeing such nice colors i could only like it !

a very nice one !

+ : very clean image
- : gay music, 0-charisma-characters, no innovation, no original design
= typical partybuster demo :O###"

not groundbreaking but very cool.

visually _very cool_.
but the music sucks imo.
it should be more like perfectly 70s style disco.

Enjoyed this one a lot, surely will be better when I can watch this one in a more powerful pc :P

i think its cool and very entertaining !

this demo included effects and style from fr-08 and fr-19, bp invitation and i like. nice colors, good animation and cool code! pop-music and pop-demo...

Skarab does better than this

This was simply amazing on the big screen, perfect disco atmosphere!

FEVEEEER!!!

Incredibly clean and perfectly smooth. The colors are absolutely beautiful.

let's go dance baby

well-made

just as the title said, this is one popular demo. A prod that can be shown to your girlfriend, mother, granny, boss or whoever, who has no clue about demoscene, and wants to know what the hell are you watching, coding day by day...

night fever!

animation was a little off, and it choked at some bits, but other than that, brilliant!

*starts singing*
tonight tonight, it's all in motion..

the bomb mega!

cool idea and so beautiful light effects ! but music is so ugly (not only because of the crappy vocals)...
for the disco fan i am, this would have been the perfect demo...
what a pity ! :(

OH MY COD! :-D

oh. my. fuckin'. god!

dance!

Disco Stu goes metal.

This is just amazing - Fiver2 is my new god :-)

The music was ok but not very fitting, I agree with nosfe that it should have been more discoish.

how about a final with configurable resolution, device etc ?

anyways, *the* demo :)

that animator rocks

Wow. Very cool. It even runs almost smoothly on this piece of crap. I don't really like that kind of music though.

THIS IS FUCKING COOL. respect

tonight tonight it's all in motion

YOU
ARE
MY
GODS

!!

This is one of the best demo i have seen in my life!
many seems to complain about the soundtrack,
but i must say that i liked it alot!, (great variation in styles).
I have been watching this show for awhile now,
and i cant really find anything to complain about.
Very good work Farbraush! & thanks for the colors!
By this moment iam starting to get very tired of all those: "IDM,industrial,dark,goth with poetic quotes" releases.
And people are talking bout to be innovative.

I can't believe I'm thumbing up something by Farb-rausch. Fr-08 bored me to death, A Poem to a Horse did the same and most others (except for 010) weren't much better... But this one is just too fun and cute to hate. No complaints except for the godawful singing.

I fell in love with this one at the first sight.
Fiver2 is crazy :)

I wasn't really amazed or anything, Farbrausch has never managed to do that to me for some reason. It wasn't bad, but...

what an awful voice but what an impressive visual !

Watching this demo makes me feel like I've jumped 5 years into the future. It's just so immaculate!

Instant classic. Period.

D*I*S*C*O

i've missed something like this for a while

LOVE! Oh sweet love!

sweet

that's not a demo, that's an outburst of positivity

now *thats* how it should be done. Great colours. The whole thing has high dynamic range of light intensity, something i have only seen done in DX9 so far.

Amazing...

great feeling and technique.

This is disco for sure...

It simply rocks. That should say all.

Very very classy look and feel. Wow for that!

Down: This music is way to positive/gay/disco for me.

But overall a very nice demo with some neat allusions to other fr demos/intros.

Very nice

We were doing a disco 64k for Breakpoint, but didn't have time to finish it, and after seeing this i'm glad we didn't, because it looked like complete crap compared to this. This just so fucking beatiful...

This is absolutely great, definitelythe coolest fr (fb? :)) production so far. I just love the music. the only thing i don't like is the last scene. (what happened to the envmapping?) deserved to win

excellent quality

i wonder what graphics i have done to this demo..

*gobsmacked* ,...i would give it a thumb up more if i could.

Fabulous music. Brilliant animation. Incredible groove. Dazzling colours. Meticulous synchronization. Total glamour.

Absolute bliss.

Now I know, how democompo at asm93 maybe was. Grafics are rocking, music is very theme-based and animations are ... cool. Nice to know, that in one or two years every second demo is like that.

One word: disco!

What are the machine requirement for this prod ??? For some strange reason it refuses to run on my Dell Dimension 4400 (Pentium 4 2.0ghz, GeForce 3 Ti 500, SbLive, 512 megs)... it just displays a black screen for few seconds, and then exits.

Any idea ?

Yeah, I like what I have seen...great Idea, nice Motions. the music is okay but could be better. Anyway at least another PC demo which is worth to watch more than one time. :)

ok, now i have to edit my handle sheet at ojuice, because i have to change 'Which is your prefered demo ?' ...

why the music lags? anyway very different and great demo, but not better than protozoa

killer code, but ... i dont like that much
and there are enought thumb up for fb on pouet.net;)

disco feeling! yay

Music ownz ...
Visuals ownz ...
Everything ownz ...

Simply jawbreaking !

This was one of the MOST impressive demos I ever saw on a a big screen!!! Really great work, fR !!
Breakpoint had so many VERY NICE releases that it was almost unfair to go voting at all !!! It was also VERY hard to decide between the KOLOR demo and this one which should be #1 !! Well, crowd has decided then anyways... ;-D
And I can surely live with that result !!

THIS piece simply BLEW me away when I was sitting at the party at the big screen! And the applause AFTER it was shown simply gave me the complete REST then!! :-D Simply UNBELIEVABLE !!!

+ for design
+ for very fitting music style (mixture between new and oldschool disco!!)
+ for over all presentation and COLORS !!!

MEGA+ for FARBRAUSCH !!! :-DD

What's up Weasel....

Agreed. I cannot stop watching this prod. I'm going to have to rip the mp3 so I can get some work done. Instant classic, indeed. Perfect mesh of code, 3D, music, and graphics. Replace that blurry screenshot!

quite nice ... but bad music

i really would like to see this demo with music that would actually be good.
someone should do a remix. :)

The lords did it again...
Love the music and 3Deee...
Defenitely my favorite fr dem0 !

I want my MTv!

very pretty and cute demo. originality and style =) thank you for the colors :)

Awesome looks!
Never seen something as stylish as this.
It lacks some 'demo feeling' however as it looks like a professional video clip. This doesn't mean that it's a bad thing though... :)

slick!

but i want to run max resolution on my TFT! ;)

you so absolutely must see this :-)

Guaranteed to brighten your day. Chaos & Co. can't stop making gorgeous, shiny 3D. And WF's music only makes it sweeter.

excellent

One of my favourites, a little bit short maybe ;)
Reminded me of the music clip Chillin by Modjo

oops thumbzup for sure ;)

I like the clean rendering of this demo.

The face shading, glow and stencil reflections look really good.

The scene seems rendered a first time with no lighting enabled, glow colors with inteligently choosen alpha value to a texture, including stencil reflections of the scene.

The rendered content is then copied to a texture (or is it direct rendering to texture?) with auto-mipmap generation enabled. This can be really slow on older hardware or shit drivers because the content of the rendered scene might be downsampled on the CPU, which implies a fucking slow texel transfert between 3d accelerator and system memory.

After this is completed, the 3d scene is rendered completelly, in the same way as an ordinary flybie.

Then, the "glow pass" is acheived, the code looks really similar to radial blurring with a 3d accelerator on that part, except we can notice an intelligent use of LOD to acheive the roundy lighty shape arround objects. To perform transitions, the alpha value of primary color is simply increased during the transition to saturate the screen to white.

All in all, this falls in the genre of effect improved flybies, and as a result, even if I enjoyed watching it 2 or 3 times, I don't know if I will remenber that demo in a few months. Magia by TBL is 10 times more impressive in my taste.

sorry, I really dont like this one, I think the wrong demo won, I voted this one #3... so only pigface. good work fr

I love it. Very very smooth, close to perfect.

the first fr-product that crashes on my mashine :(
it loads a bit and then crashes witout any error-message...
my configuration : Athlon 770Mhz, Via Chipset, 320MB Ram, Radeon 8500, Win2k

eine baldige behebung des bugs würde mir den Tag sehr versüßen... :)

... great ...
but music could be better

just saw this piece and boy was it amazing... damn you farbrausch :)

just saw this piece and boy was it amazing... damn you farbrausch :)

kickstarting my good summer vibes :)

One of the best fr productions ever and one of the only fr productions with a pretty good design thats smooth.
The music rocks, it's perfect for that kind of demo, and the visuals even rocks too. Farbrausch even

Fukkin funkee demo!
I really like the music! and the vocals are nice
and crispy.
Top of the pops :)

....ha, der neue farbrausch produktion, where is my spyglass or microscope ??? :) Everything is amazing, design is perfect, I simply love that "farbrausch-tm" textures, visuals are amazing except those kitchy fonts and "not so good" vocal in music (this vocal reminds me that crappy vocals from 333 demo from Acme) ..... i like KB´s vocals in "IN CONTROL" much

it's 303, you freak!

4Jar - Of course, my mistake, that boring demo with crappy gay vocals was named 303

danke.

makes me wanna dance!

reading all comments, seems to be great...
...but doesn't work on my computer !

gay

technically and visually perfect.
the theme, though, show parallels to "just a touch of funk" and "moai" - but this looks and feels far better.

the lighting effects are fabulous. funky positive vibrations!

nothing to say... Clean code, beautiful colors, and great music :-)

just black screen - exits after 20 secs with no warning. - AMD XP 1700+, 512mb pc133 ram, Sapphire Radeon 9500 with additional 4 unlocked pipelines

A super gay homage to Disco, Michael Jackson and shiny objects. Bit empty now and then, but overall it's pleasing to the eye

i seriously dislike disco, but this was well done.

So good. It is now in my top 10 high quality newschool prods

Can anyone tell me what's going on? I hate all that is close to disco-style, but I love this prod! Even the music is damn coooool!

Jolly good!

best demo ever. everything is absolutely perfect perfect. music vocals graphics everything.
i want more disco/house demos!
this rules

it rules of course but ... it crashes on my machine during loading :
TB 1.4 ghz
G force 3
Last detonator drivers

it rules of course but ... it crashes on my machine during loading :
TB 1.4 ghz
G force 3
Last detonator drivers

I guess everything has been said already.
Download if you don't have it yet because it really rulez :)

Bugs.. FR025 crashes during loading.
Running in debugger it gets a bit further and crashes after loading asycfilt.dll (version 2.40.4518) with code 128 (0x80).
Using W2k with DX9, GForce3, VIA chipset, SB128PCI, Duron 800 - all latest drivers.

This prod is really nice, but it hangs/freezes at the round discoplane where all dancers dance ;(

a bit boring, but pretty.

funkaaay!
I especially liked that "Billy Jean" inspired part with the leaves...
I was pleaseantly surprised to see it running quite smoothly on my old Celeron 800 / GF2MX400 :) finally something better than all those industrial demos.. i want more like that!

positive, entertaining, technically impressive and just cool... and i think the vocals are superb too. way to go fr :)

Impressive. Some nice ideas inm there and the music works great too.<br>Runs smooth on AMD2000-WinXP-GForce4-DX9

perfect.

Awesome!

Didn't even start on my brother's computer. Athlon XP 1700+, ATI Radeon 9000 (pro I think), 256 mb ddr, Asus A7V266.

farbrausch ownz!

btw, models and engine are quite perfect ...

yet another farbrausch demo style ;)

As far as production values go, FR has again raised the bar. Could easily sit beside any video on MTV... really. It's so flawlessly designed and executed, i'm surprised no one's hired them to make commericals yet. KEEPS MY FAITH IN THE DEMOSCENE ALIVE! btw: most all the breakpoint demos have raised the bar - get them all!

BTW : I have win 2k s well and it crashes too : will it be possiblme to fix that ( please ...... ) i feel somewhat frustrated not be able to see thais little gem at home : the strange thing is taht other FR demos / intros work fucking well....

Crash also on my system at 50% loading (win2k, radeon9k pro, dx9) but work if I replug my old gf2mx.
Really wonderfull demo, but I think that the soundtrack could have been better.

Die verdamten deutsche haben es wieder getan - all kinds of respect - guess there is a bit of disco in everyone of us... only minus was the ending - seemed a bit rushed!

THE demo from 2003 so far.
After seeing it thrice I still love it. Gr8. Absolute. Thrilling. Yeah!

"It's all in motion"!

Nuff said.

tonight tonight... rulez.

really, really good....although i really, really hate disco shit.

This is damn nice, though the Kewlers demo was better in my opinion.

reminds me of DSDS!!!

Mega demo

Oh my god

Marvellous!
My first associativity was
intro of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" = DSDS.

Marvellous!
My first associativity was
intro of "Deutschland sucht den Superstar" = DSDS.

...so we got to the point, where demos remind people of bad tv casting shows.... %)

A nice demos !!!
the only dark point is the "disco" music...

demo and not demos...

Simply Great
Good job Farbrausch
waiting for another pure beauty :p

What about a nice soundtrack dump? A "write to disk" switch would be appreciated, too.

I love it!
*addicted* ;)

I liked the disco design. Only when I can watch it in a gfx card/computer faster than mine. FR demos were some of the very few I liked from BP..

perfect design and just cool :)

Wow. Farbrausch, thanks for a massive inspiration boost... you're making it hard for us c64 guys to keep up now, though. But we'll definately try! ;) Lyrics were a bit *hmm* but for the rest, everything was killer, start to finish. Respect!

whack!... quite great stuff... actually my "fave-rausch" :o)

But please tell Mr. Thiele to better quit using such awful selfassembled vocoder-thingies ;)

Anyway: both thumbs UP!

As many Radeon owners, the demo exit after a bit, without error message. I only can see the typical precalculation bar (just one second) :(

this ownz! i remember back the hall was mad cheering at the party while showing this demo. yoho this really rocks!

Crystal Clear sound and gfx. Absolutely Marvellous

yeah... like HgH said.... (für ne detaillierte fehlerbeschreibung siehe oben...)

This prod is the weirdest ive seen for a long time, and it rocks. Good work, hope to see some more asskicking demos from u ;)

WOW! amazing...this one kicks ass!!

makes me wanna demo. makes me happy

Just for the record:

I'm rendered speechless really =)
Lovely music, amazing visuals. Just *aaaah*mazing!!! Smooth movements, details, whatever, it's just perfect!

So nice!
Chaos: which demoscene will you rule now you have ruled Atari,Amiga and PC ones ? ;)

makes me happy. besides the dirt textures that break the disco illusion

A big no no for the music (why oh why the "eurovision song contest" pattern pitch stuff for the last chorus???) and a big yes yes for the visuals

it's o.k. but it's not the wonder of the world (as some of the other say), i think.
++for the figure animation
--some scenes could be not so void

absolute want to watch it after so many comments...
still waiting for a fix or sth... :(

well, i've always respected fr, but between the demo with josie and this one i can say that my only reservation has been evaporated.. i thought they lacked soul, but a demo and an intro prove me very wrong.. at any rate, i have to say, i think the vocals here rock.. i defy any of the nay sayers to find me a eurodisco track with male vocals that is any better than this.. in fact, i've got it stuck in my head right now. and as for being an mtv video clip, well, whatever, there's all sorts of dope code in here that qualifies this as top o' the line demo material.. just to be judicious i'll mention two minor negatives.. a) it's too short and b) the funky dancin' was done better in digital murder's just a touch of funk.. judged on it's own terms though, this is much too good a bit of digital crack for anyone to be scoffing at when they're getting supplied for free.

For those radeon users who cant make it work: use Cat 3.2. anything over 3.2 seems to break it. Good ol' ati!

Or even easier: run the exe in Win98/ME compatibility mode. That fixed it for me.

Well, another real good demo by FR... Actually, i've just been watching fr-030, so i first though the vocals were indeed vocoded... Seems they're not indeed... Very nice idea to keep the meshes, would i say, flat-shaded? Well, not exactly, but anyway. I really love it. It'd been better with another kind of music, but it's a thing about tastes.
A further comment, it's too bad there are so few different actual choregraphies. I only seen three different. Maybe i'm wrong? Oh, and a few sparkles would fit the ambiance perfectly...

great!
after a long time this is a demo again that made me just think "wow!"

don't really like the music though..

so cool, i love the figure dancing && visuals rock too.
another great one by farb-rausch

incredibly nice and flashy demo. one of the only farbrausch prods i can enjoy. lovely colours.

the 'star academy' in action, real time video clip, i like this way
too much german dance music
same effects in fr019, they are great
too much the same moves of the men, allways the same men
not fantastic but it's good prod

ive finally managed to get this to raun on my radeon and its absolutely great!!
--sorry for going on everybodys nerves by posting so many "still doesnt work" comments here!! :)

now farbrauch rules not only the intro-categorie but also the demo-one :)

-- signing of now...

kewlo :)

cheasy, overrated, didnt run optimal here. i doubt i would ever like to watch this again.
oh yeah there's a lack of inspiring stuff, funky design, 2d elements where?

O.M.G

Great :) :) Rocks :) - The Music is fantastic, Wayfinder Rocks :) My new Demo Alltime Favourit to watch.

Nice and polished visuals. Good music. Animation could be better. The dancehall looks a little unfinished. Maybe a bit too short. Otherwise very decent prod!
I had it running fine with Catalyst 3.4, W2K and Radeon 9000, but after I installed DirectX9, it stopped working... :(

another incredible farbrauch prod.

and please please an .avi aswell!! (yes i suck with my pIII 500 with tnt2...)

.avi(divx) will be released when I finally will hold the *FINAL* in my hands!!! ;-DDD

Oehm..and please also don't forget the *FINAL* of candytron as well!!!
Can't wait any longer....damn it! ;-)

It reminds me a little "Staying Alive" but not too bee gees style...Great Anyway

nice prods guys :p i love it, lights effects are a pleasure, greeetings all
congrats fiver2: that rox, i'll pay you some more beer =]

Somehow, it looks way different on the screenshot than what i saw... Probably my piece of shit work pc missed half the effects. I wondered that a recent farbrausch demo could run so smoothly...

I'll try again at home.

simply stunning but! the end could been better.

Fantastic!!! The best PC demo that I've ever seen!!!
Btw wont run on my P4 with Radeon9000pro, someone know if there are some problems with catalyst???

don't worry 'bout that, the download link is good ^^

Fatal Error!you need directx 8 (or better) to run this program. :-/

The download link isn't good either ("fr-02 5-final")...

to make it clear : is the so called "final final" now up??? greetings

chaos : it works now

Lot's of nice changes in the final. Very good, as always. But I was kinda disappointed you didn't increase the size of the bulge in that disco guy's pants.

one of the best demos that I've ever seen

Ok it works now : thanks chaos for the final : thanks fr for such a masterpiece

Runs just superb in 1024x768 on my pIII-450 gf2 :)

Thanks for the final, but I have to say I don't like the new mix of the tune. What happened to all the bass? Also the people-dancing-on-an-lp part looks a lot worse now.. Oh well, at least it (apparently) works with most machines now :)

I love finals ;) Please more finals ;)
It works well and amazingly fast on a poor P3-700 gf2mx.
I love the concept of this demo, now it's time to a make a comic super hero demo ;) The overall quality is excelent because you are professionnal scener, and I like this almost prefect work. Only the music could have been better, I like wayfinder trance, but house/dance soundtrack here is just ok. Respect.

Whoa, benchmark-mode =)

the new animations help alot.

final final ;) fuckin spaces

DA >New school<

ok that bb-code crap is seriously fscked up
that url i pasted was 110% correct.

ironically i think it was chaos who suggested that feature to be added to pouet :)

hmmm http://www.scene.org/file.php?file=/demos/groups/farb-rausch/fr-025-final.zip&fileinfo

same problem :o) well Fr-025 rulez but ... the first music version was better (more bass and more spacial voice) :o/
Could we have a Final Final Final version with Final code but not final music ? :o)

rules pretty much

The final was as good as the orignal one.
Resived 15354 pop.stones at 1024x768.. is that good or?? The benchmark option is a fun feature, perhaps computer magazines in sweden could change their out dated QuakeIII benchmarking with a brand new fr-25 test ;)

blame it on the boogie

3176 pop.stones at 800x600
(PII-333Mhz + GF3Ti200 + 256MB RAM)

Consider this as the lower limit :)

The final RULEZ BIG TIME, but I still loved the "original" soundtrack much more.

And, PLEASE, release the music or put a dump switch!

The best demo i watched on my new system so far...

6685 pop.stones at 1280x1024 fullscreen
(P4/1.5/GF2-MX+512MB RAM)

...and this is the best thing I've seen since fr-018... and that says A LOT. The synchronization is absolutely perfect. I just wish Wayfinder would put up that incredible soundtrack.

p.s. 11797 pop.stones at 800x600
p.p.s...................... hund

19722 pop.stones 1024x768 FSAA qual-2

Soundtrack: de-upx, start offset 0x6BF856, ogg vorbis :)

I see pop-stone NERDS all around... ;-)

Damn...just put a benchmark in any prod and people will go wild about 'faster, higher, better'-postings all around!! ;-)))
Really funny and also really predictable...
Stop it, guys! ;-D

yeah. i got something like 2000 stones on 1024x768 ,|,,

hehe, nice music; 80' style

one of the best demos around!

fr,why did you re-recorded the tune??
i liked the vocals by andreas thiele much more...
btw.. DEMO IS INCREDIBLE!!
got 7300 stones at 1024x768 (ati radeon 8500le, 770 Mhz)

nice visuals, and btw I liked the 4x3 screen display.
The music is not very extra.

Yeah I have to say I prefer the original soundtrack more, but the new one is slightly more intelligible. Are there any visual tweaks besides the scrolling HUND in the first disco scene?

I prefer this version, but not by much. F'kin incredible demo! There's nothing wrong with the vocals at all I think they rule! I wish I had a voice like that!

Truely the best demo in recent years. Music great, gfx great, presentation great.

In other words, its great :)

21179 stones at 1024x768 (amd2100, GF4 ti4200)

Fiver2: Well, I like the new vocals better. They seem to synch to the words if/when displayed better, and most importantly there's less distortion; I can understand them much better now.

I can now safely confirm this is the best demo I have ever seen. I liked the party version just fine, but the animation felt a little stiff in that version. I absolutely love the way the guy wiggles his hips now.

Superb, well done.

very nice, liked the original vocals better, though :)

I really dig the work that was put into this final version. Vocals sound a lot better and the dancing animation feels better too. (Even if it feels still a bit wooden here when walking)

+ Performance's really nice.

Good news: Wayfinder released the soundtrack!

Check out his homepage at www.w@yfinder.de ... it's the "final" version though, with vocals by Mike May.
R00lz anyway.

I liked very much the soundtrack of Candytron, is it realesed too somewhere?

oh noh, the final2 version is directx9! i don't want to install a dot.net by m$ spyware on my system for now

Optimus: you can get Candytron's soundtrack at Nectarine, or directly at Kebby's homepage.

btw: Candytron ruuuuulz too

Nice coding, sweet music...good production...kudos

26939 @ 1024x768, default options
A2400XP, Radeon9700
Slick, damn nice effects + cool soundtrack.

Going to make my demo look like shit, but then these guys have been churning them out for a while now :)

Keep em coming F-R!!

re-ran it with mutlisampling quality 2: 19170 popstones.

btw - the guy would probably walk normal if you loosened up his pants a bit...

Well, when I compare this thing to the demos that were done 10 years ago, I come to think: What will demos look like in 2013, if this trend continues? Will they be so mind-blasting that you get stoned from just watching them? I cannot believe that a better demo is possible. Please fr, prove me wrong at bp04!

great!!!
final version runs smooth on my C466 + GF4MX.

Best demo I've seen in a loong time.

WWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOSHA!

I watch lots. it is grate and I make boner when see this demo yes!! ha ha ha

me also tink iz grate. kool demo-shock! hahahaaaaaa

great music, great style!

at last a demo that has the style of gay house music.

and has anyone noticed that you can sing the lyrics of kylie minogue's "spinning around" to it? :)

This guy is my idol
(como mueve el "cinturon"! xDD)

"But I was kinda disappointed you didn't increase the size of the bulge in that disco guy's pants."

"I absolutely love the way the guy wiggles his hips now."

"btw - the guy would probably walk normal if you loosened up his pants a bit..."

"This guy is my idol"

As much as I've understood it, this is not a guy, but a girl. After all, a certain "Sarah Hill" is credited for animations.

No, it's a guy. Sarah Hill is a professional animator we know. We didn't use motion capturing or anything like that :)

gotta love it :) nice pop-style!

!!

I agree with the people saying it looks like a girl.
I suppose Sarah Hill made a sort of self-portrait? The movements look like female physiology anyway.

Like somebody said: i was expecting to hate the demo, but after seeing such nice colors i could only like it !

This demo is a definite no-brainer, but it's entertainment to the max and just visually mindblowing.

Still a definite killer although this fails to reach you on a "higher" level.

This is the best demo engine i had ever seen.

Nice work, and the vocal is very kewl too! ;]

i think a lot of people want the guy to dance like a pimp. Perhaps a superfly remix is needed ;)

@ryg:
You didn't use motion capturing? So how did you manage to "digitalize" Sarah Hill's movements?

obviously great

@adok: sarah hill wasn't captured. it's her job to DO animations by hand. girls can work with computers. too.

Oh, I see. Well, then I must express my honest respect to Sarah Hill: Creating such realistic animations on a computer, without motion capturing, is great! Send her a kiss from me. ;)

@noname: "by hand" maybe that's what fiver meant by professional animator... ;)

(sorry i couldn't resist)

dizamn, you a smooth operator, Adok

der praktikant macht's mit der hand ;)

it's getting to top10 :)

uhh haven't notice it already is :)

total krass.

First time I saw the room with the colored light panels, I nearly s**t my pants. :) I love this demo because sceners and nonsceners can enjoy it. Beautiful, tightly directed, and the scenes are nicely varied. Very professional-sounding music, too -- great work all-around.

I've just downloaded your final2 version. Let's see... Your party ver. was amazing! Cool colors and effects plus nice disco-style music makes it really POPULAR!!!

disco !

every thing was really good, but i HATE the style, disco....???!
Made me wanna kill myself

I haven't watched a PC demo again & again so many times since Crystal Dream II, 2nd Reality and Dope. Instant classic.

Disco omistaa!

seems like i haven't commented on this one yet.
it's enjoyable alright, but a bit short on ideas. the music could've been a lot better (and a lot more 70s disco'ish). i mean, come on :) the vocals made me laugh.

Ahh.... downloaded the Demo after it was released on scene org - and i watch this Masterpiece still a lot of Times :) Fantastic Music... Can't get enough of it - Wayfinder, release a sequel to this Masterpiece :) Really The best Demo i ever watched and the best music i've ever heard so far :)

Very good prod, It is really true that sceners and non sceners can enjoy it as well. This is the first prod that knoced my girlfriend off ;)
Seriously prods like this attract people to the scene. I actually trashed my current project after watching this ;)))

if you love StarAcademy it's for you...not for me

if you love StarAcademy it's for you...not for me

No comment by me yet? Weird.

actually my non scene friends asked me if the makers of this demo are gay!!!
i mean, that says it all...

70's disco is gay by definition. and come on, he's a NON-SCENER. how can he judge a DEMO?

newsflash: the music in this demo is not 70s disco.

kinda weak this gay shit

it's a nice demo, although the music is quite non-great, and the demo doesn't run on my computer :) (i should start demanding divx of all demos that don't run on my computer, since everyone demands a divx of non-pc demos ;)

lemming: and even if they were would it be a good reason to thumb down?

Greatest demo!!! Very stylish.

I like it very, very much. Fantastic music and really something different. Keep it on you FarbRauschers...

unison: StarAc is StarAc, fr-025 is fr-025.

StarAc stole the discoman, fr-025 is disco spirit. StarAc is 100% commercial, fr-025 is 100% free scene spirit. Popularity is their unique common denominator.

Lemming, fishbone: are you that poor-minded ?

gay culture brought a lot of creativity to pop culture and open-mind to society.

and if you need more exciting stuff for your male pig instinct, go & watch Candytron, orgasm is guaranteed ;)

this demo is sooo clean, it's perfect... and i kinda like the music too, very nice work!

Enough with the "OMG THIS SI TEH GAY" -crap already, kids.. Jesus. If bright colours and cheerful music equal "gay", the scene must've consisted of nothing but homosexuals back in 1985-1990.. :)

well and it still does :P

it's AMAZING that this is done in mode 13h WOW TRULY A MASTERPIECE.

i thought i had already voted on this one...

kix ass like hell!

13h? no way :D

13h? no way :D

rulez

MC: YES IT IS MODE 13H ASK RYG

sure it is.

cool but idols rip wtf

I hate disco. But I love this.

I already thumbed this up, but I'd like to point out that it's the only prod I've checked so far that can be set for 16x10 aspect ratio (no letterboxing), just like my widescreen laptop screen.
Major respect to Farbrausch!

another fantastic demo, keep it up guys!

What can I say. One of the products I think :) Groovy and stylish. Excellent work

yes yes yes ! this time, it works on my computer ! and it's effectively a great demo !

Any .avi available ;)

have anyone else noticed some of the lighting tricks used in this demo are also used in Prince or Persia: The sands of time? ;]

<--- wants DivX of it :) :)

Brilliant!

Great stuff !! One of the must-have´s !

One of the best demos I've scene. ;) Excellent concept and execution, musics not for me but work with the concept. Outstanding.

i like it - but i gotta emphasize on their intros being *way* ahead of their demos, be it in any perspective.

Great Demo. Some months before I first saw it I was sitting with another democoder at a club watching the mirrorball, and we talked about cool stuff you could do in a disco demo.. so seeing this was like "yep, that's how we thought it should be done.. only better" :)

have I given my finger already?

Cool! If it is really in 256 colors it rules^10^6502!!!

lewiS, of course it is. It's actually mode13h. Gee, these fr guys must have a fast putpixel routine...

hahaha, some pallete optimizations on final version ;)

One of the best there is. Both thums up for excellent, blasting visuals and smooth animations. o/

it blew my mind the first time I've seen this prod and regave me interest in the demoscene... everything is great and especially the music (I prefer the first version because of the so huge bass! still don't understand how W@yfinder succedeed in making a final master with so much dB while keeping a great dynamic making my audio monitor crazy!)

great great job + it works on almost everything.

Please release a Video of this - would be nice to burn this on Video CD - really love this Piece :)

A masterpiece.

Funkadelic

arf :)

Great demo! Superb music! Farbraush rulez!

Yo listen up, here's a story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees
Is just blue like him inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
And his self and everybody around
'Cause he ain't got nobody to listen (to listen, to listen, to listen)

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai

I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
Blue are the people here that walk around
Blue like my Corvette, it's standing outside
Blue are the words I say and what I think
Blue are the feelings that live inside me

I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai I'm blue, da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai da ba dee da ba dai
Da ba dee da ba dai

get hold of yourself, stelthz

I love this guys. I love this demo. The music is awesome 70's revival. The dancer it's better than Tony Manero. Yeah.

As the Bee Gee's would sing ...
Ah, ah, ah ... Scenin' Alive ¡¡¡

now it double deserves my thumb! i just watched it running perfectly on my p3 500!

this is cool- no matter what framerate!
i got only 3260-some pop.stones at 1024x768! (for reference, 5325 at 320x240) yet another prime example of my rage128 not quite cutting it.

im getting an all-in-wonder 9600 VERY soon.

Good job!

shrooms! holy shit.

wow farbrausch rocks again !

Quite nice, I must say...

THE BEST demo so far from them...
Si tio!!! esto mola... ;)

the produkt will make you dance

you'll watch it again... and again... and again...

Final 2 is mad!!
The best pc demo imho
It's outstanding

How could I have forgotton this Prod. since I did the screen shot, My wife can't stop playing it, and we both agree that this is the kind of demo where you see effects create other effects.
Another code well done

Whoa this is probably the best Farbrausch demo!
btw: it's not Mode13h and it's not 256 Colors LOL
hmm... gotta watch it once again... :D
I wouldn't have expected it to run good in 1600*1200 but it's gotta be around 1500 fps on my Pentium 4 1.8 :O
Definetly the best Demo i ever saw!

One of my favourite demos

the only demo that my gf liked, hence it sux
(lol kidding, she just likes glitz mtv pop stuff)

really.. rox

i went over to my friends house and ran it on his dell dimension xps. HOLY FREAKING CRAP- 38140. over a hundred frames per second every second.

off the top of my head its p4 3.2(i think) HT/2Gb ram/ Radeon 9800XT 256MB

yes

Yes, rulez

Groovy! Disco lives!

Vive le Popular Demo!

Slashdotted to hell ;)

*vote*

fr-025 final - rulez!!! Where the f**king fr-034 final???

Good use of colors and nice character :)

demo for masses ;)))) what can i say? words cannot judge that prod. just click run and enjoy the show.

really very very very nice

even though i don't like farb-rauch I have to give it to them this time, cause this demo's got style :)

okayish - disco is not really my style

I love this. The music makes me feel good. And, it's just nice. : )

Something different...

great! the music is really well done!

Somehow I don't like this much. It has great finesse in all departments, but it's just a bit boring..or something...still, excellent excellent work.

it's very nice ! You made it in maya or not?

I want to be as popular as this demo.

kema: it was made in Fardrausch's own tool, Werkzeug, which is a relatime media creation system, which you may find in the tools section. A few models and character animation were done separately in Softvision and imported into the tool.

and finally the whole thing is compressed and replayed with the REALTIME codec :p

softimage xsi, not "softvision"

I use this one to warm up my video projector. Rox. :)

Actually... I meant to give a thumb up, but what the hell...:P

tbl rules!

Wow this just reached 100% yesterday I believe. Whatever does that mean...

radman: "100%" means "the current number of views does accidentally NOT produce the rounding error that normally keeps the value at 99%". :)

(popularity is number_of_views(this)/number_of_views(mostpopular) and so the [most] popular demo should always have 100%)

pop.

yeah kb and it degraded heaven7 to 57percent.
btw i never thumbed this up (and just cauz i was too lazy ;P)

Sellout og listepop!

"popular demo" ... the effect is very similiar to "winnerdemo" *g*

alot of fun; the track is catchy allbeit not my style

great music + great graphic + great style = simply great!

well, I have to vote

I like the music!
rules!

Szmörcs.

great graphics, great music, great sync, great everything - but somhow i dont like it. too cheesy for my taste.

Great overall design, and awesome sync and colors!

yep, rulez !

wordless

wow :)

Didn't like the music or the subject matter, but otherwise this is pretty faultless. Great stuff.

It's definitely pop, but still excellent execution. I like it a little more hardcore myself.

LOL I FIND ITS NOT 13H IT IS .TXT-MODE! LOL :((
lol ryg WHY

One of the prods I use to explain the demoscene to non-sceners with! Wayfinder could easily climb the charts with "Tonight tonight is all in motion...":-)

Excellent : everything is excellent in it !

music = 19/20 everything is perfect except sad lyrics (she left tomorow)

gfx = 19/20 all is excellent except the dance on circle (final part)

code = 20 / 20 smooth, colorfull, fast, tiny, music synchro

anim = 20 / 20 smooth, perfectly dancing

Well, the first demo for a long time (till the same team build a sequel :) ). Thanks U all at farbraush for this.

wow !

nice visuals but i'm afraid to admit enjoying this.

the music sounds a lot (if not exactly) the same as "finally" by Ce Ce Penison? Anyone remember it? 80`s or early 90`s dance track...

\o/

I now walk like the dude in the demo =)

amazing demo!
Respect!

For me, this is the best demo ever created.
Great Music, Effects, Graphics, Animation and Performance.

It's almost a videoclip :)

Well, I sure see Disco with a different eye now!...

automatic thumbup for perfectly done demos™ mode on

this prod is definately all that!
one guy i study multimedia design with blatantly copied this with poser, maya and some motioncaptures dl'ed form the net.
when i asked him if he knew 'bout the scene and fr-025 he answered that he never heard of either.. whateva..

ne, it looks really great but it's boring....

>>ne, it looks really great but it's boring....

Agreed.

I'll still thumb it up though...

i loved it
i love it
i'll love it

the lead synth is great
respect

Very cool stuff. I think Fabrausch is darn wickkid! :]

now this is weird, why havent i commented on this one before?

anyway, whatever, the demo is good, but remind me not to read trough the comments of it on a "hmm 2 min until i have to head for work" morning. now i'm late. damn you germans

I love this Demo, do you guys know the name of the song?

testing

never mind!!! I found it out!!!

I don't understand why most people call the "tonight, tonight" song gay!!! I really like that song, it's so catchy, it really makes you want to dance....nothing gay about it!!!

This is one of my favourite demos and I like the song as well.

Fiver2 , it's a horny voice ;)

One of the best ever. I'm looking straight forward to breakpoint 2005. After 2004 and some old parts spilled to together to something like a demo I feel in my urin this year will come something shocking again. My 2 Cents.

Stunning graphics and music. Perfect code. Really NOT my style but... :) I still can't give it anything else but a "rulez" :) Thanks for this demo, farbrausch, the gods of the modern demoscene :)

very cool. it was made in .wz, but i don't see how... if only i could figure out how to make demos like this...

well you could download the data file and find out.

Greatest demo i ever seen

Great production, great musik!

I love this demo with the Saturday night fever concept. Excellent music with funky/groovy style!!!!!!!!! i'm dacing with the gold dancer in my bedroom ;) Huhu ;o)

i didn't comment on this yet? well, everyone knows that it rocks. i wonder how 13 people could have thumbed it down...

Definitely one of my all-time favourites. Everything totally fits.

It's my favourite! So far state of the art!

i do not like disco :|

btw. the soundscore is a copy: or should i rather say that it was inspired? by some pop song from the break of 80s and 90s called `Night in Motion`. the atmosphere of that song and this soundtrack is quite the same. (it's mentioned nowhere within the demo, though.. :-( )

yes

I know the song you are talking about (from U96), it has nothing to do about Wayfinder's one, I don't know what you are talking about :/

This demo blew me away! I had been away from the scene for seven years and couldn't even imagine how far demos had come. The colorful dancefloor used in the screenshot is the best scene. With motion capture used to animate the dancing robots The Popular Demo would have been perfect!

ManJIT: If I recall correctly, there was no motion capture used. :)


Anyway: great prod + released .werkkzeug1 project file = thumb up for sure :)

@Krzysiek-K: I wrote --- With motion capture The Popular Demo _would_ have been perfect.

The lack of motion capture was the only bad thing about it.

could you please tell me why motion capturing would make even the slightest difference?

I can't find something not brilliant in this one

large farbraush in all its splendour !!

the popular demo carries its name with pride // popular, available and accessable yow! // and all packed with a demoscene flavour // if you keep the title on your mind, this is just perfect in what it is

..just why do i always manage to discover popular things this late?:D

Stunning!

yeah

That's odd, when I first came to this link, it said 99% popularity, now it says 100% popularity. But, well, duh, the popular demo. Anyway. What I wanted to say was now that I know what the words are to the tune, I have to say the lyrics are EXTREMELY well written, and this is the best lyrical tune I have yet heard from the scene.

I love this demo more and more :]
Colors and pixels are so neat. The music is teh shit, I have the chords in my head, and like to play them on my old roland xp 50 with a rhode patch ;) Give me the mid!!

=)

This is the demo I watch when I've seen a few bad productions and start to loose confidence in the scene. After some Popular Demo my faith is reestablished ...

Pheraps fb's demo masterpiece since now, very good use of hw rendering capabilities.

fb? like in far-brausch?

fr indeed :)

disco feelinkki

Could be watched multiple times, its pure fun.

THE demo...

rock me baby!

What a Farbrausch!
This is one of the best demos i have ever seen for sure.
Cheers

shows what modern pcs can do, but fails to amaze me in other ways. it's well designed, has a shiny layer of coating, but neither the music nor the choreography are MTV video music awards class... this is all leaving my tastes out of view, because i really fucking hate disco!! ;)

short: thumb up for technical side and shiny polish, but fails to amaze me otherwise and i dislike the theme..

a sweeeet eyecandy

funny Michael Jackson style with glowing steps :o) i really love this piece, Wayfinder der Housekönig? i especially like the disco-ball-boy and the nice SFX-parts

I cannot stop watching this demo ! This demo will be a legend for a very long time...

Must thumb it up.

This is really cool ! Nice ideas, excellent made.
Good timing & atmosphere. Great.

Awesome!!

ATH500: Your system's specs... I couldn't care less.

I hate these people!

absolutely技术炫耀

yeah

absolutely popular rulez :)

It's exactly brilliant.

..and this *always in my top 20* prod...

well if i would vote for every "demo" i saw over the years i would mightbe in the "top 10 of the glöps"...

i can't stand the rings cutting through the dancer. the rest is perfect.

Great demo!

Aptly named and flashy in a stylish way. Makes you wanna dance. Not one of my absolute favourites currently but still excellent.

well done

hitchhikr t'es un gros connard!
Go hand in hand with your friend Dipswitch and Unlock: you've the same level (LOW).

I repeat


hitchhikr t'es un gros connard!
Go hand in hand with your friend Dipswitch and Unlock: you've the same level (LOW).

This was about 3 decades too late. It must be a Euro thing.

rules

nice colors

Truly outstanding - still looks great 2.5 years on.

OH MY GOD! It rulez! Good work

Yeah, couldn't help myself here :( Although the vocals are indeed subpar.

wonderful demo, imho not as beautiful as some of their 64kbs - ie. fr-08, fr-019, fr-034.. but still.. wow...

Rulez!

rulez!
the *actual* top-flavour on 2003, this was the usual demo I've used to show people to easy understand what does realtime and demos means.

Amazing one

rulz0r0rew90r9rw0

very nice engine and scripting but i would have liked seeing some more GROOVE in some of the scenes!!

Makes me happy, great demo! Benchmark: 29787 pop.stones at 1680 x 1050 (quality 3)

Colors colors colors....eye candy, smothy running speed and funky ass music....nice stuff!!!

nice

i was listening to daft punk's "voyager" from the album discovery, and started singing "tonight, tonight, it's all in motion" on top of it. *hint for dj's out there*

This is a great demo. I saw this on a shop that sells monitors and stuff. They had this demo to show people on the tvs and monitors.

My 1st Xperience with this Demo was more than a wow-adrenaline-show & 1 day perhaps the mr. 'disco-kugel on the head' will lead us to an another great popular-demo. ThanX FR for this Demo & a big ThanX to Wayfinder for his Soundtrack & Tonight, tonight the City is groovin'

isnt really best demo but nice, i give thumb down for all lame fake voters who raised this into top10

Fakevoters? This is the Popular Demo - it is so popular that there are no Fake Voters needed ;)

er, what's fake about the voters? their hair? their breasts?

you know, that doesn't technically count as fakevoting.

Oh I forgot to FAKEVOTE iT! Unseen Fate go home!

Give us Popular demo 2 ay bp06 perhaps ryg?

Give us Popular demo 2 at bp06 perhaps ryg?

magic:i guess the second version of 025 maybe produced under .wz3 which fr less mention it without their fans' concern.. fan like me are so respect to this kickass group but it seems that a delay mind have to be.

magic: great idea!

ryg: please do me a favour, show it only on the big screen and never ever ever release a final- that'll teach those lazy cunts who stay home every single party for the last 5 years...

ok, but boring

Okok unseen - you got me.

I received a huge amount for voting for it.

Actually i hate it. But thumb up for the money !!

Cheesy

oh stupid bastards thumbdowners! this is the best POPULAR demo ever!!!

Just POPular. But very nice! C'mon Let's dance!!!)))

very nice production! music is cool (can be a bit better) demo 3d and gfx ruled !

<3 muah. I dig it, and it seems to work good with doing the dishes or mopping the floor

good.

no, No, NO!

Demos are demos, not musicvideos.. Can't we see enough of these on tv and other media?

What an illiberal sight!

didn't work

After so much crap has been released lately its good to go back and watch some true peaces of art. Aslo I've never thumbed this up...

I can't believe it that people thumb it down. That one is really a masterpiece of elegance with no exception. (i need a second thumb for it ;) )
This piece of code should work on every average gfx-card. VGA is not up-to-date anymore ;)
Well musicvideos are demos too, musicians demonstrate viewers something.

was a great seamless prod.. and hi quality in all aspects.. and a lot of work went into it..
a bit cheesy and un-exciting tho

pure art....

Of course a popular demo! ;) But it can't mess with those beautiful 64k demos. > for me unexciting, unrefreshing & too commercialy :)
@thumb downs: There is a lot of realtime & creativity in this demo, too (no video or animation). Is it so hard to recognize the differenz?

<3

if you fr guys were to do this today, what would you change?

best :o

Glow, britney, gold, more glow... love the music

ultra 70 feeling , nice

well done and polished production :)

ATH500: As soon as I have the rights I'll cick you.

popularity : 100 %
OMFG !!!
but yeah - this prod rulez

....Speechless.....
This is magic!!

ummm... well... i can't thumb it down since it is impressive, the music, the visuals and everything - so it deserves the thumb up, but it's so not my taste. anyhow, here you go, tonite tonite.

yeah, i agree with kelsey and i will bring balance in the force by not thumbing it up then :D

very impressive demo but looks a bit to simmilar to some music clips. But still very well done guys it looks great and has the wow factor undeed.

Completely agree with Kelsey & Maali

my wife like it very much too. what to say, so well executed!

whoo!! i never thumbed this!! now its done!! perfect disco feelings!!!

I hate this kind of music. (sorry Wayfinder, I hate 99% of your mzx)
I hate this kind of visuals. (sorry guys, but disco IS GAY!)

...but this demo is so fckn perfect.
...and I RESPECT that.

...and a note:
I FCKN HATE ALL THOSE MTHRFCKRS, WHO THUMB DOWN PRODS, JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE ITS STYLE!

Just. wow.. Can somebody help me pick my jaw up off the floor?

my understanding of a perfect demo.

Call me a geezer, but nope...

(*slaps Archmage*) :)

345th thumb up!
alltimesdemo!

rocks

i don't know why the hell i thumbed this down emuch earlier and said it didn't work....

because it does work and it IS wonderful...

if i could change to a thumb up i would haha

It's very cool. Good sensation :D. Congratulations!

Very very cewl... It i still one of my favourite demos and also non demo scene related people are stunning what people can do just for fun... Top !

really nice lighting

It's really hard to vote consistently, and this intro is particulary tough one: I know the code has to be good and the visuals look pro. but the overall visual and audio impression it gives makes me want to vomit. Also there are no innovative visual effects, so it feels empty and hollow. I have had a hard time understanding the appeal of this one.

great!

the screenshot scene is the thumb up one.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stylish!

Classic

No need for words, everything has been said already! :)

will it ever be topped?
its so, so, so............. popular ;)

As for the colour scheme it was ok, but the rest completely opposed to my personal taste right after the compo until now and forever.

Hyde and d0dge: Fuckin homophobes you are :)

Dare to be different! ;)

lol you guys....
This is one of the best demos I've ever seen, and it's what really got me into the demoscene... woot.

If on the 6th of september The Popular demo was downloaded 497708 times (see my comment on this date) and now 503072 times on the 8th of oktober.. This is to much :)

Highly optimistic and good-mood making.

love forever!

I don't like the music but visuals are nice

i didn't thumb this yet?!

despite years that passed the graphics still looks quite decent. a classic!

Popular != good

still one of the best produkkts ever.

Demo kitsch.. Yet well done.

not to forget it allready runs on a geforce2gts!

muh, it runs on a fucking GF2MX, that was the plan all along :)

y kb, lets keep it to "it starts on a fg2mx" ;)
the gf2gts has been my actual card on bp-03.
Never the less this demo is perfect to show women what demos are. They mostly can't touch the mfx-stuff-alike =)

well, it was developed on a gf2mx (actually a gf2go).

hmkay ;)

Not that many different effects and quite some repetition due to the main character, but very nicely done, with a bouncy soundtrack.

this is always the one I start with when showing someone what a demo is.
since it looks so shiny...

then, if they're really interested, I show them some of the 64kb ones.

That's when they're all like :O

great demo, great music

Rock in the Disco!

still looks cutting edge today...

ah yes: brillant.

high quality. i don't like the music or the dance theme.

great!

Rulez of course! Soundtrack reminds me Jay-Jay Johanson songs (the same specific kind of vocal).

How could one not thumb this up. It was shown in a German discount market "Media Markt" over and over again for ages!

Obviously one of the best demos of all time. Great music, awesome graphics, entertaining.

Very well done.

Very nice prod!

Thumb up!

Can't say it's my favorite, but I also can't say it isn't great :)

This is very entertaining.

it's great

What, I didn't thumb this up yet? Greatest "demo" ever, besides Second Reality :) I like those effects, colors, the music and everything!

Several years later, the thumb is here!

Classic

@NeARAZ It's never too late ! ;)

The best demo ever!

nice. Music is really cool. but...
improvable animations, model has too short arms, no "action" at all.. anim-music sync is cool. Scene-sync seems a lil off.

Its really THE popular demo! Great!

my fave::::::::::::::::::::::::::!

love playing it all the time... every year, this rocks!!

Very niiiiiice.

I'm not a fan of the disco thing, but it was a fun demo... My only suggestion is to watch the speed of the camera in that one room with the pillars and stuff (where the guy's walking and the camera rotates around him). It made me feel dizzy, which was actually kinda cool. haha

very good SNF inspiration :)

Far from being my favourite FR prod, but still a modern times masterpiece. And 2003 isn't 2007 (How clever ! Did I figure that one out on my own ?) :)

lehet hogy én erre már szavaztam de FR rulez :) O_o--b

WTF no thumb yet!?
This is POPULAR DEMOOOOOOOOO!

Simply ____popular____ :))))

One of the best soundtrack ever.

Pop idol

this is definitely a demo to recommend watching to people they don't know about demoscene

so they think demoscene is gay? ;)

Bab0O0M! What a killer...I still wanna dance...

still puts me in a great mood ;>

A milestone... second only to Contrast/Oxygene in my book!

Watching productions like this makes me realise how insignificant I am...

tonight tonight...

I forgot to vote for the 2 demos that made me think 'Hmm, I guess the demoscene isn't dead' and return to the scene - this and Candytron

+ for code and really professional output, - for lack of real innovation, repetition, a style that (while great in its own class) i didn't like at all and a horrible soundtrack. i've heard a lot cheesier and better disco humppa's than this.

fuck you trx, of course i can thumb down a demo if it's style is hideous in my opinion :-) there are far better scene prods than this but as said earlier, popular != not always the best choice. but it's ok, tad better than average grey mass.

I'm addicted to this song!

<3 the song. <3 the postprocessing. <3 the screen shot scene. This demo still rules.

Not flawless (the font on the stairs, for instance, is quite hard to read), but definately an inspirational production.

Nutman: you are more than 4 years to late :)

magic: maybe he qualifies to write stuff in Hugi then

Awwh :/ Wont run properly on a GeForce 8800 GTX

Great mood forever

one of the best demo ever

yeah, well... ok...

i forgot to vote?! one of the best demos ever. 4 years later and it's still awesome!

the popular demo is a good piece to explain what the demoscene demo is..

It is wery popular...

NOT FAKEVOTED YET????

Music is very sloppy

The 'final2' version doesn't work with latest nvidia-drivers (163.71) and e.g. a GF8800 GTX card properly anymore! :-((((((

For example the first scene with the stairs when the doors open and the figure is stepping down the stairs the screen is almost dark and you'll only see the shining-effect from behind the figure! :-/
More similar scenes during the ongoing of the demo coming up later, too!

So, is there gonna be a 'final3' version soon??? *praying for it at least!!* :-)

Bye,
Weasel

fr025 is pretty much certainly within spec. file a bug report with nvidia.

nice shit of holland!

great stuff !!!!

Ryg:
It's luckily true, it seems! :-D
With the currently latest nvidia drivers (v163.75) everything is working fine again and you can enjoy fr025 in full effect without any problems!
(tested on a 8600GTS chipset with 256mb)

Just to let everyone else know here as well, whoever might have wondered about similar problems before! ;-)

Bye,
Weasel

...Damn nVidia, man! If they ever will do that again, then... ;-)

gf8 series drivers are still kinda dodgy (pretty bad considering those cards have been around for quite some time now). from what i've seen on pouet, there are problems with a lot of demos, not just our ones...

True, true! But you can't get along without such a thing these days anymore if you want to stay up-to-date though!

The drivers since gf8 series went pretty bad, true! But I guess that's mostly because of their dumb vista-beta support trials blaaa.... :-/

Anyways, at the moment it's working (again) and I hope it'll stay that way also in future from now on! ;-)

Bye,
Weasel

nope, it's mostly because the g80 is very different from previous nv parts, guess it took them quite some time to figure out how to actually use the hw efficiently... in any case, it involves a rewrite of a lot their code, so it's pretty bug-prone.

Short but sweet. :) The best part must be the one in the screenshot above, where that gay man doesn't dance like a girl! :)

That's the only way this demo could have gotten better - imagine a hot girl modeled by a girl! ok, lol.

Anyway, realism and textures are overrated. And Imagine credits that are not in Arial! thumbs up t'is...

I watched it for the first time a year ago and only now i'm addicted to it. :)

I MADE IT REACH 100% POPULARITY!

...so it is true! One vote counts!

I love this one =)

i <3 it :D!!

beautiful. It sure was a milestone.

letz dance baby

Blaah.

still great to watch

gay

<3

Nice, the music is in the style that i like.

still not getting tired of this :)

Aha I've fallen in love with this demo after seeing exoticorn play the soundtrack on ukelele! <3 <3 <3

I meant I've fallen in love with it AGAIN

burgrlovr: Haha, that was awesome! :)

An Optimused recommendation ;)

This seems to be popular

Hey!! It went from 99 to 100% when I wrote that!

Now it's back on 99%.. :p

still great to watch and great music too

the style is great and the tune is just great.

"For example the first scene with the stairs when the doors open and the figure is stepping down the stairs the screen is almost dark and you'll only see the shining-effect from behind the figure! :-/
More similar scenes during the ongoing of the demo coming up later, too!"

Go to "3D Options" in the nvidia control panel and set "Antialiasing - Gamma Correction" to "off". Now it will work perfectly! Stupid nvidia features... :)

Best use of highly saturated colors ever.

i like this a lot. some parts of the music (the melodic phrases, the artificial-sounding tom drums), the colors, and the tunnel sequence really make this enjoyable. one thumb from me to you.

WOW! A masterpiece!
The dancing man... :D
It rulez of course!

the.popular.demo is to populääär

gay,but in a kewl way !

one demo to rule/bind them all !

Bad synchro, repetitious animation. Never liked it, don't mind that others do.

k8to, buy the brain

And a clue too.

The Popular Demo. Of course. ;)

This demo is so ... different :D I understand it's a reference to many popular songs (and after seeing the .k1 source even more so) and it does it absolutely perfect! The music is what you expect from a popular tune - catchy, simple, with instant hooks, visuals are - well, just say DISCO, and even the kitschy font fits! This is absolutely 100% spot on and perfectly put together.

Tonight, tonight ...

another long overdue thumb up from me.

I absolutely hate that I love this demo. It is SO much wrong with loving disco .. :)

But yeah, awesome, and I can't understand why I haven't thumbed it up earlier.

omigodwhyhaventivotedforthis?

### disco music, mirror ball man dancing ###

can't resist the disco :)

The colours, music, concept - fantastic!

tonight tonight..... rocks!

I honestly didn't think it was anything special

ha ^ ha

The dancer looks a bit stiff but the lighting is magical!

pop !

all-time classic

TONIGHT TONIGHT

fr to the next blow pleez! :DD

...

Probably watched this more than any other demo.

 

ok done but nothing touched me here

die männer tanzen lustig

the demo of this decade

+ technology
- boring
- horrid color palette

+technology
+color pal
+SOUND !!!
-mastering :)

Tonight, tonight, it's all in motion,
can't feel the gravity.
Tonight, tonight, what is this potion,
that makes a fool of me?
Tonight, tonight, I'm seeing stars,
I'm blind with love.
Tonight, tonight, we're Venus and Mars,
looking from above.

Tonight, tonight, I feel like grooving,
like flying endlessly.
Tonight, tonight, the city's grooving,
they're dancing all for me.
Tonight, tonight, the perfect night,
the only one.
Tonight, tonight, I'm holding you tight,
tomorrow you will be gone.

Love it

how could i forget this one. Very good!

very beautiful demo

This demo is so great that it changed my head into a disco ball!

the best demo to show my "no scene friends". Even my mom like this. (and so do I).

Who cares about mastering, if it sooo popular :)

cheesy

The vocals alone can take the thumb. Huge amount of respect goes to Wayfinder for such a soundtrack... to heck with the ugly colors :P

Shiny

lol wat i haven't thumbed this yet?

Still a pleasure to watch this after all those years...

CDC added.

I recant my opinion above. Better late than never!

The dancers definitely need more life.

I feel like grooving !!!

partie!!

In the mood!

(Bored to write what stage7 said.)

:-)

Tonight, tonight . . .

I <3 FB!!!

No this is still not overrated. Rocks!

No thumb from me yet? Still rulez

The title is so accurate.
This is the demo I usually show to people stranger to demoscene.

This demo has style !

Yeabutno.
(yes, I did just comment to use the image)

Just ok.

no

Has some potential.

Realy, realy stupid demo. It sucks..

Just awesome.

Popular Demo is popular.

Popular Demo is more then Popular ;)

popular yourself! wtf is this??

take it on cannabis and it will be a incredible experience :D

Very nice colors, I really like the scene of the screenshot.

music makes my ears bleed. and the style does the same to my eyes.

Well, not much to say ... you make a demo and you call it "the popular demo". You knew all along what you were doing.

This was one of the first demos I saw in 2003 after not seeing any demos for a couple of years. Impressed.

popular!

I never understood why this is and was so "popular". It's a fine demo, but make it one of the all-time greatest demos made? Please.."Debris", the top demo, is not just better than this one, it's HUGELY better - despite the years that separate them - at all levels, and several ASD's productions are TREMENDOUSLY better aswell.

But hey, its a nice product, just not my cup of tea. A piggy for that.

Farbrausch!

My all time favourite farbrausch demo!

still and always will be one of my favourite demo watching experiences :)

So awesome!

tunájt tunájt itsz all in mósön
kent fííl dö greevitii

@soueusou i actually dont think debris is better. it may be technical superior (it also has 4 years in advance) but the style of this prod is just unchallenged. and yes ive seen it back in 2003 already (when i didnt care for a pouet account or commenting or shit) and i can still watch it over and over. it just delivers.

to thumb down this prod is like fisting yourself.

Fr, me loves you for this ;)

Word cloud for popular demo comments on pouet:

Wayfinder!

Quite old, still quite of great!

Hm. I just watched "Shrek 4". The disco scene with the dancing witches in the castle just looks like the closing scene of the "Popular Demo"... lol?

It should be called the.POPular.product, I dont' see anything very much impressive in it, just a well made disco theme (which I don't like) to please the masses. A Justin Bieber or Hannah Montana of the demoscene. I'd thumb it down if it wasn't a clever marketing success of Farbrausch. And I'd thumb it up if it was 64k. So, piggie.

Hrm. Only just seen this one for the first time. A little simplistic perhaps, but it's catchy and well made. Like it.

classic

one of my more fav's

One of my all-time demo favourites.

that's just awesome!

Love it.

Hey... i never thumb up this one!
I re-watch it on big TV in full HD ---> still roxx

So funky cool.

Cool music, cool effects!

Made a Highres YOutube Video for it:
fr-025: the.popular.demo by farbrausch (1080p)

this is so .popular!

Watching the slo-mo room scene on an ancient GeForce 256 with 32 MB DDR was an eye-opening experience as to how well could a demo look on such hardware. Brilliant job.

wow

Forgotten thumb error!

wtffff why did I piggy this fffsss

It's fun to see all the comments from when this demo was first released re: hardware, and smile as it runs perfectly on my $250 netbook ;)

Belated thumb for one of the all-time greats!

obligatory thumb :)

song, people dancing

demo or die!

The Karlovy Lazne in Prague has a dance floor that looks like fr-025 ;-)

pics or didnt happen

Bürgerpflicht.

Im Rausch der Farben! ;-)

classic!

Nice!

Kitch, but in a good way. Perhaps a bit too "german" in some ways tho. :D

Perfect partydemo.

I'm never bored and can see it 100000 times in a row!

Amazing. Simply amazing.

can't feel the gravity.

Fuckings to farbrausch! ;)

Tonait, tonait is all in mosh'n o//

nice!

155 872 pop.stones on stock setting with a GTX 660! LOL! Great demo then, still great demo now. Rulez! :)

Let's Dance !

Outstanding! A true masterpiece!

Classic track. Visuals apart from the screenshotted scene are... well, they seem like they were pretty dated ten years back already.

<3 <3 <3

Great!

Archetype.

Almost perfect. Design, graphics, music engage like gears of a clock together perfectly.

hm, back when i didnt thumb it up, half of the shit was missing due to having a shitty gpu or bad drivers or smth, so i wasnt that impressed. however, this was a good demo and i still owe it a thumb!

I could still watch and enjoy this at anytime!

Boring towards the end.

had to laugh myself over my post on this one. :)
of yourse a ruler.

glöp

something someone said

Disco!

Not really my cup of tea.

Somehow I never rulez'd it. This demo is FABULOUS! :)

Dancin' yeah! The music has annoying high frequency EQ, the hihats and cymbals shriek too much and hurt in your ears. But other than that, splendid prod! :)

One of the first demos I saw .

Probably one of the first PC demos I grabbed from pouët to watch in the computer lab at school, years ago. Good shit.

thumbs up for mainstream feasibility

thanks for smile ❤️ crazy perfect, I am your fan wayfinder
