Slow calm and beautifull. Rocks Again !

YES!

NO!

To dull.. Music didnt quite qork 100% though at my machine.

This is a nice mellow demo for 'chillin out. It is almost beautiful, but the drab textures hurt the look.

i have to say that if one had some psychedelic experience, there is almost no chance that someone else will get it or enjoy it.

the music either didn`t play correctly or was awfull :) A few clicks and chords?

very nice, but music is a bit too unexistent for my taste.
radeon fails screen init in fullscreen, so just runs windowed here. fixable?

i really appreciate visualice artwork and there is some vision behind this demo. but i am so disturbed
by the music, i dont like to watch it often.

i dont know... its nice to look at, but it almost has no music
oh, and its a little boring

it seems that farbrauschs best years are over. this production just sucks....

I liked the tunnel colors/layers, but then again boring..

I'm feeling dead.
This demo rocks.
Sometimes it could have been more detailed tho. Just to make me even more dead.

This is great! The sound fits the visuals, although I do not think the demo would have suffered from more music.

Only the aliasing was disturbing sometimes, but maybe I should try to fiddle with my gfx card settings.

All the ADD suffering kids are thumbing this down again, obviously. Are we judging skill, the message or personal taste here?

i don't like it.

music is an absolute masterpiece!
visuals are very nice (but too colorfull maybe?)

the overall is fucking great !

ROULEZ!

The music didn't work at all here, the visuals were nice, it just seemed to be somewhat unfinished for a fr production, I'll wait and see if there is a fix for the music before I vote.

I want to give a thumb up for the amazing visuals, but as a demo it was very boring and the popping and clicking soundtrack really got on my nerves.

I'll leave it at a pig.

I think it had to be my nvidia, but the visuals were really ugly

No doubt, ps music.. but with great graphics and design, and concepts. I liked it.

once again, farbrausch releases a very different demo from what they usually do. at least a thumb up for trying to do new things.

i liked the calm feeling, but the 3d could have been better. like Stelthz said, the music fits, but it could have been just a little bit more..

(aliasing would be greatly reduced if i could run this and all other fr-prods in my tft's native res, 1280x1024 (which is 5:4) or 1280x960 for 4:3 =) )

I've come to expect too much from fb.

relaxing to watch

It looked good (but could've used some more polygons in the modelling) but sounded terrible. Still, thumbs up.

Very surprising prod! Calm atmosphere, hq textures : the renewal of Visualice. Good prod. after all! Even if werkkzeug3 needs some improvements (seems too jerky).

Visualice graphics are the saving grace (ish).

Other than that, static scenes, overlong camera sweeps, token filters, low framerates (for the content, I was expecting at least rock solid 50fps), music that is a question mark (I wonder if it played correctly or this is just it).. In other words, the usual fr production style and values after the excellent 'popular demo' ...

Something I missed in this demo....i dont know, maybe too long and simple scenes and sleepy music didn´t hit the target. Stiil cannot givi this a "suck"... so piggie...

cool visual.
Music is noisy.
but this demo is rox.

as long as there is no recommended pc configuration in the readme, i have to add that it ran rather slow ( with 5-or-less-fps - like movement updates ), while keeping pretty decent framerate of 30-50 (1024x768).
At resolution of 800x600 it ran a bit faster ( movement-wise ) but still had some flaws.
p4 2.4 here.

The (lack of) transitions in the beginning seems at bit odd. The windows->sky scene is simply beautiful - like only Visualice can do it. The rest is a bit so-so.

where is candytron...

I didn't quite like it

test123

woo, it worked!

maybe my favorite Visualice prod :)

What to say? Visualice's latest demos have all been uninteresting and anonymous, which is so sad.

Music is broken up.

Beautyful demo. So calm, I've feel this in Alien movies. Rulez ;)

buff

Can't say that I've ever been a big fan of the Visualice-Werkzeug-demos but at least they used to have good music. This one doesn't - as a matter of fact, I wouldn't even call this crap music.

very nice.

looked like it was heading for a thumb down for the first minute or so.. but then it cam back and slapped me a few times. This rules pretty hard, the tune especially.

this prod really disappointed me somehow. it was just of average quality. the design was okaish nothing spectacular unfortunatly. farbrausch usually produces better output than this...

Possibly the best demo by Visu - FR edition. PS musics is definitely a welcome style change.

wow! best fr-demo ever. wonderful direction which shows that you don't need a fat basdrum just to do proper synching and cutting..

dont know what u all smoke....
"wow! best FR demo ever..." damn!
pull your head out of their ass.

ben j'attends encore que la démo commence... C'est super court et sans intérêt.

A bit disappointing :S

not the usual stuff

IMHO, art in demo is not only about putting strange objects in slow motion with cheap transitions. I could like the glitch music but not. Disappointed but not thumbing down because there's sincerity in it and a certain amount of work.

this felt way too bland.

hmmm ... what's the point ?

kohai: didn't you feel like floating in space or peace or memories or afterdeath ? i mean in a elsewhere disctinct from your life ?? :p

well it doesn't suck, but I don't like it that much either. :o

was ok but nothing special...little bit boring for my taste

best fr prod i've seen so far.

one of the best tracks from ps ever and one of the moodiest visu-demos ever.

I liked it, and I don't consider this 'typical visualice' stuff, but then again, everything Visualice ever does is called 'teh same' anyway. No it's not a technical demo. You're allowed to make whatever the f* you want in the scene. Now go make a demo yourself or something. (I'm allowed to be a hypocrite, I'm on BP05 withdrawal)

I see in this production an effort to reflect kubrick's approach to 2001. Several interesting ideas and implementations exist but seem to have been somewhat hastly executed. I would like to think that this release bears the seeds of things to come.

Quite nice, but not entirely my taste somehow.

hm, there were some really cool scenes (especially this woman silhouette in front of the windows, building a dali-like scene) but overall it was incoherent and the music did nothing for me

dixan stole my comment

Beautiful as usual.

Screw you guys. This is a really nice throw at creating a brooding atmosphere, and just because it's not the same old horse they're beating, it sucks?

Admittedly not their best, but at least this is something out of the ordinary. I'm happy they bother to try.

I was disappointed... expected more from fr.. dont like the music.. visuals are ok

thank you very much for doing great demos that will never win compos.

looks good.

end of fr-days

.we. decide about the end of fr-days ;)

I like the music and visuals are standart fr quality so no reason not to thumb it. Although it's a bit weak thumb this time

terrible visuals, wonderful sound. i never suspected a hero like visualice could make terrible things like this. i really do prefer all the "haujobb prods that all look the same".

awfully bland demo with weird clicking music, definitely not my style. piggie.

emmie ny tiiä

It´s okay, but in the past were much better Farbrausch releases!

fiver2: i hope so :)

what truck said...

i appreciate visu's effort in doing something 'different' from his haujobb stuff and still you see his trademark in the graphics, so all i can say is.. visu keep it up ;)

Music suxx ass, but the visual (sometimes very low detailed) and the mood (that's it!) really got me. I love this baby...

I want more 'hjb' demoes done by the old members specially their musicians. Every visu* demo released under 'fr' label come out with weak music. :( but noz in the old 'hjb' times !!!

no, not really

tho I prefer the ambient that visualize+melwyn produce.

It's a bit sickening that so many sceners are just out for that next new eye candy, expecting the next pink bubble gum demo from FR when productions like this one tend to offer so much more space for interpretation and approach the viewer at a much finer grained level. I _especially_ liked the PS tune and I especially liked that this demo was _not_ what I would expect from visualice. We must not forget that technology is just the means by which our visions can be realized and it's not always about technology any more those days. Just look over at the Amiga plattform.
Probably the deepest demonstration from FR yet.

I still can't like it, though I've given it a good chance and watched it a few times, seems that the music was meant to be that way.

It's great to see FR trying out new things and some of the effects are really beautiful but I can't be doing with the soundtrack at all which I first thought must have been because of a corrupted download, or even as a gag.

Maybe it's just too abstract for my taste, no thumb down though because of the nice code and having the balls to try out something new with the music.

b-e-a-utiful

Altought not everything looks great, the overall atmosphere is nice. Also I really like the music, don't know why :)

I love PS.
I love Visualice.

not the best .fr demo for me, but a significant tribute to the scene, nice and stylish

Maybe I liked this because seeing all these comments about it being slow, I was expecting something like the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Which I sorta got, although a lot more sedate, and with better music. (Except that darn pinging noise!)
Overall, it seemed to be the least Visualice-like Visualice demo... none of the characteristic women with large noses and mournful eyes. And the general ambience was very unlike the Farbrausch I know (.the.product, poemtoahorse, the.popular.demo,e.t.,theta)

maybe this is a good moment to realise, that farbrausch exists of different creative people. farbrausch has always been about creative freedom and there have been so many different directors over the years (way, cp, gizmo, yoda, visu, paniq, me - and also ryg, kb and chaos etc.), hence the different styles. so i really wonder what 'the' farbrausch style is supposed to be.

I like this. No idea why, though.There's just something about the atmosphere.. and the soundtrack is very intriguing.

We amiga/mac users get spoiled on this... anyone can make an .avi? I felt it too slow at the compo but probably both the beer and the long running time of the compo was taking it's toll.

I found this a bit dull. Good to see FR continually producing new ideas, but this production wasn't for me. The music was quite cool tho, and creates a fairly ethereal ambience while watching. It reminded me of the last part of the recent movie "Solaris".

really really great stuff!

Nice!

Fuck. Sorry for selfvoting, but this is what I was expecting from Visu for YEARS now. Kudos to ps for the zix too.

Its rather short for its filesize, but I liked it.

I really like the soundtrack, and some of the graphics in this, but as an overall demo, this doesn't work at all... at least for me

Farbraush, once again. Same colors, same style, same code... It's getting really boring.

Left me with a somehow uneasy feeling in the end.. I think there aren't too many demos with such kind of atmosphere! For me the best Farbrausch in quite some time!

I don't know why but I like it - I think the music does the job :)

WE WANT ANOTHER POPULAR DEMO!!1 YES!
OH WHY VISUALICE YOU WONT MAKE POPULAR DEMOS?!?!1 PLZ MAKE THE SAME DEMOS OVER AND OVER AGAIN INSTEAD OF TRYING TO MAKE SOMETHING DIFFERENT!!1
I THINKS POPULAR DEMOS WAS MUCH BETTER TAHN THIS ONE!

(just listen to what you're saying assholes)

meh. not traditional farbrausch.

the downfall of farbrausch is at hand...

i like it. music fit perfectly. nice to see something different.

I like it.. Can't explain why, but it somehow made my day

strange. nice tunnel indeed

<3 visu <3

some really nice scenes in there, but on the other side the soundtrack is awfull so piggie

Some really nice scenes, some pretty average scenes and even some kinda ugly scenes. Some of the cuts just strike me in kinda bad way, others not that bad. Music is nice. Overall an ok demo, but not a "rulez".

seriously disapointing for FR. this years BP saw some stellar stuff; this was not one of them :(

It took me a while to figure out if piggy or thumb.

+ visualize evolving
+ music (I don't get how some think it's corrupt)
+ associative scenes, colors

- poor polygon modelling
- elevator(?) scene

Flying thought the girl's silhouette was such a beautiful idea; here is the thumb:

well i've just seen this demo yesterday night on Cinetrip, and i wanna tell you that this release totally rocked, and changed my whole opinion about FR. coolies!

could be a lot better

poor fr, got the pop label attached to them. keep up the weird stuff i'd say! and please god, NEVER do a sequel to the popular demo!

I think this demo lacks a single element that would have made for me its atmosphere stellar: Actual background noises in addition to the soundtrack, such as field recordings. By this I mean for example a strong wind noise in the scene with the stenciled woman zoom. Things like that would have connected strongly the visuals and the ambient track.

As it is now, you only get a few intermittent connections from the soundtrack to the visuals (those clicks) but nothing in the other direction.

lol

reminds me of very psychodelic drugs. which is a good thing.

maybe you've should have replaced that woman with your well-known fr25 disko-guy.. not! ;)

_-__-__-__-_-_-_: i disagree! with connections like that everything would completly loose it's dreamy touch.

I admit I was surprised to see Visualice use a PS soundtrack, but hey, overall it works. Maybe some of the scenes aren't too well related, however, the end -- for some strange reason -- brings it all together. Well, at least I think so.

i really remember quite well that i *hated* this one during the compo, but i totally fail to figure out why now that i'm watching it again. this really rules. amazing how visualice managed to make so many scenes and typical demostuff work with a(n excellent) soundtrack like this.

okayish

it has an interesting start but later the scenes becomes too isolated. i am too stupid to see a rocket launching in this demo, and i have seen better ones in even tomb raider 3. this one violates many physics laws as far as i see. and it is the only part that is "afterlife". the soundtrack is nice but too scratchy to be listened with earphones.

on the whole it is ok i think.

not the best of Fb

Very good prod.... But not enough long for me, and i think we waited too much time to see it...


And.................. do you know who symbolize that girl in background???????

psychodelic drugs???
Im in!

Can't knock the visuals, but very disappointed with the clicks and scratches that make up the audio (uinless its broken on my machine).

I am fine with the sound but some of the visuals just don't fit in somehow. They look like they come from some game intro or so...

I don't like sleepy, boring, story-like demos.

Why stuff like 9 fingers is so rare these days... :(

strange, mellow and adult, interesting feelings about the death
(too few polys in models, a little bit too short)

Not so bad for me, interesting concept and the music is not so boring

interesting concept.

Very Relaxing and calm

yeah it is like soothing until the very end

while a totally dig the soundtrack the design kills it for me. these steril semi scifi and game like visuals mashed up with a photo and an illustration is as coherent (and tasteful) as currywurst with champagne. they dont evoke any emotion in me ... which is damn sad, since the music goes so well with the concept.this could have been so much more with the right visuals. piggy, though.

atmosphere.

I don't understand it and "music" from ps is driving me insane. Spoiler, anyone?

this is beautiful.
the sync are a little different from beat-metronome,everytime i watch it,it seriously grows on me,i dont know why, maybe im excatly kinda guy that catch cold on these style of demos easily.
ps:i like ur xperimentals more in this way which could are futher possible for gfx to visulize them, imagine the scenes, design cams,etc. altho narrative much it still exist a huge space for aftering passed lifes..:)

I like it
great music, relaxing atmosphere

gets thumup for music!

POLL: Do Visualice's Demos need a Cheat Sheet?

poll: does eye^pac need to be banned
choose yes/yes ?

Visualize, go to draw 2d-art, you rulz 2d-gfx artists, but in 3d you sux

too much strange for me...

i like the mood in some parts but i dont think everything fits together that well.. but the music is one of my favorite demo musics on pc.. (from the ones i know of, of course;) so how can i do different than thumbing this one up!

Überboredom and the soundfxmusicartsyfartsy what's its name ruins even the boring mood.
But perhaps this was exactly what they had in mind.
blergh....

just watched it again for the first time since BP05. and my opinion hasn't changed much. while i really like ps's soundtrack and sure dig some of the scenes, this one still has enough major design and camera flaws to it down to mediocre. too bad. but as we know now: there's life after 'life after'.

okaish 3d and nice graphics (from visualize) that saved the demo.

surreal atmosphere! light color scheme + soundscape makes it really special...

OK.

Nothing special...

Soso demo... some scenes were very nice (eg the girl in the room) other scenes felt quite dull.

quite relaxing

I think it was quite alright.

it would be even more relaxing even that annoying clicking noise would not be on the soundtrack. anyway....

-even +if

smooth

.the .unpopular .demo.

kind of reminded me of the intro scene to hardwired. :)

boooooooooooring. :(

fairly dull.

Beauty

What Saga Musix said.
TBH, this just got me boring. -________-

meh

haunting, even with some of the rough edges, like strange linear movement without acceleration, this might be one of most delicate directorial works visualize ever made; the glacial is perfectly married to the wistful chords in ps' soundtrack

the old comments are also quite a hoot, lol

glacial pace*, dammit...

Made me sleepy
