now this is some awesome shit

yesss

Worthy winner.

this is atmospheric and creepy for about two minutes, but after that the words 'pretentious' and 'tedious' spring to mind...

i love you guys for that one.

fuck!

i still dont know if i am supposed to love or hate this so i give it a pigface because mfx is a kewlers spinoff and everyone in kewlers likes bacon (and fuckings to the sceen mag for thinking mfx is kewlers' alter ego)

twisted :)

blood!

interesting re-interpretation of the ather hit effect. goes on perhaps a bit too far (and was missing the ultimate death of the ballet dancer :), so i won't give up any thumbs for it this time. still a pleasure (or should i say, convenient torture) to watch.

my retina is destroyed now :P

Attack of the 5 legged killer tree in a vulcanic world??

Music got irriated after a while though.

Thumps up anyway..

How could some1 think of creating a demo like this? :-)

Everytime when I think I finally identified the head on that thing, it gets smashed to the ground (which might explain all the blood though :-)

Anyhow, it's very atmospheric and a bit scary, but I definately love this...

exactly what parapete says. but i think this is the first mfx demo i really like

Wow! Grotesque! I love it! And yes that's a first one for me too, generally I don't really like MFX demos.
But this one is awsome! It's twisted and nightmarish... I love it!

awesome indeed

THE most disturbing (freaky) demo i've ever seen!

heavy SHIT!

horror

a supernatural being vomiting blood all over the place in a manner that is as stunning as watching the execution of the last judgement by god himself.
mind penetrating on a 24" Widescreen TFT.
music is not what i'd regard as such, but knows to convince in the given context.

By the comments we can assume that a cocoon comeback would reach top10 fast ;)

However, i thought this was just booring, and we have seen the thing before.. Both in the Addams Family and in aether (where it rocked).

Art

very good stuff.

next time get a "sober" musician... sorry, the effect is really good, but with that music, this effect is wasted...

Perfect feelgood material for your hangover-viewing pleasure!

props for trying something cunningham-esque but i seriously think this was prolly the production you spent the shortest time with EVER. (not counting the Aether development phase.)

and no it didnt freak me out. blood is a plus, but i might have a too extreme freak-threshold. i'd say it was predictable after the first ~20 seconds.

still, it has blood.

Bad childhood? Boring recycled stuff from ADNC but still great coding so I keep the thumb horizonal...

This prod consists of 50% breathtaking scenes 25% breathtaking graphics and 25% breathtaking terror audio.
Alltogether this demo raised my heartfrequency by 100%. This is audiovisual terror. (ment in a positive way) Needed a while to calm down again. Not many demos manage to do that.

The music fulfills its purpose. And it does a good job in a technical way. Is this dramaturgical techno?
Surely a matter of taste but looking at (listening to) the music style it is not my thing.
I think classic music with e.g. some tremolos and kettle drums would have been better.
THen I would have given a double thump if possible.

But so I give a thump to the visuals and a piggy to the music and that results in a weak thump.

still respect!

VERY interesting
nice direction
imho it should end at the middle

i've seen that effect already. piggy

OK, it looks a bit familiar, but still that doesn't change the fact that this is impressive. Some heavy atmosphere there.

Actually that didn't freak me while watching. But I like both, visuals and sound. Great demo!

reminds me to aether (??). in any case... disturbs me completely, congrats for that! not all demos manage to induce something into people's mind....
although it gets to be too long for my taste i think... can't stand that terror sensation during so many time...
ah and props for showing uncensored blood!!

uncle-x: a deepness near the cranium? :P

looks great but lacks some syncs on the stomping imho.. the camera changes were cool, but foot down on _atleast some_ bassdrum hits would make it nicer.

fuckings to stv for his comment.

I failed to enjoy this. And I wasn't scared either.

Looked great and had a haunting visual atmosphere, but the music was pathetic. Maybe if the stupid erratic drums were taken out it would leave a suitable incidental soundtrack.Otherwise it ruins the atmosphere and makes the demo seem a little bit like a silly "fun production".

HELL YEAH! I miss those guys!

nope

very amazing! the effect rocks even tho it was already used in another winning demo ;). music is ok too. kisses <3

I usually, really, really like mfx prods, but this one left me wanting something more.

still, thumbup for the overall feeling and quality.

IT came from Uranus to paint the town red !!!

dang ! baaaadass 909 bombing suspiria music too

An interesting demo, difficult to classify, thought-provoking.
I sure thumb up what's out of the mainstream in this way.
All 12 ALiENthumbs up!

First I tought that one scene couldnt keep me interested almost 5 minutes, but it did. Good job uncle-x. And this scene is way better than in aether.

Fucking awesome.

best demo ever v2.0

Show me blood, show me love

Visually perfectly 'choreographed', but slightly too progressive musically ...

word! me too! NYTRIK LEAVE THE KID ALONE AND MAKE MORE METALGOREKILLYOURMOTHER DEMOS!!

Pure madness. Pure nightmare.
So special, so amazing, so scary, so bad trip...

Everything fit like hell >;)
Thumbs up guyz!
mfx rulez

Dangerous siht!!

also, excellent cameras.

thanks ....pray for us and will probably finish our next shit in time for a famous french party :)

bloody frightening

ballet is always about doing the same shit with your arms and legs... there may be an modern industrial setting and the ballet dancer will dance using the same moves as if he was by a swan lake... SO ITS ABOUT TIME MFX TOOK US TO ZLARG AND SHOWED US SOME REAL BALLET MOVES FROM THE LAST INHABITANT DANCING IN GRIEF TO ITS OWN DOOM ON FIVE LEGS IN A POOL OF BLOOD!!!! what a great show this was! monster atmosphere. Shame I haven't seen it on a bigscreen yet.

Damn excellent. Although for me it kinda seemed to miss a proper climax. Really nice setup and then it just ended :/

..woOw!

really scarry thing. Rulez

aether gone evil or something like that... "enjoyable" prolly isnt the right word for this demo, but yea, its nice!

I wonder how it would dance if it were dancing on bile.

superb! teel, you missed the climax. it really is there.

lets just ignore this comment, shall we :)

inimitable style. respect.

perfect.

so different. so freaky. so fucking great!

frightening

sounds ugly, looks ugly, boring as fuck.

besides it the fact that it ranked 1st - i classify this for me as crap. sry.

weird and disturbing nightmare. perfect choreography and athmosphere.
awesome!

short, repetitive, looks like a small gore remake of aether. well, great

very nicely directed. Good atmosphere.

thank you so so much, for creating one for the ages.

hmm, no. close but no cigar.

am i the only one who thinks there's too much cliche and too little substance?

blood fountains... please.

Huh, the dancing squiddie, i knew it would ave been back :)
Anyway i prefer the one in Aether, with fire.
Weird zik indeed! :]

A weird creature dancing on blood, creepy visuals, creepy music. Boring after a while, but thumbs up for the atmosphere!

ditto

hm. ok, that was pretty cheesy.

big fuckings to mfx an alter ego of Kewlers - and seriously I think It's better than ADNC - but fuckings again for the knowledge that making demos could be more fun that I have - thinking 6 months before doing anything just kills the art of improvisation and taking pleasure of things that are small and really important. And couple of words in my native language: "Towarzysze broni nie dotykajcie sloni!". End.

- I hate the soundtrack, or maybe should I say the noisetrack ;)
- It smells strongly of aether
- It gets somewhat boring in the end

but it's original, somehow hypnotic and as usual with uncle-x, it has style.


By the way uncle-x, see a shrink please ;)

buh

quite ok.
good colours and music.
fugly typo/font and not really enough variation.

What a courageously, abstract, disturbing and somehow anvantgardistic experiment! This one is not made for satisfying the masses, but people who know something about art will like it. The noisy soundtrack penetrates my nerves a lot, but it perfectly catches that scary atmosphere. Good job MFX, but not as good as Aether, which is still my number one this year.

Sick.

Sick.

By the way, is the movement preanimated or calculated?

we want an osx port!

"we"?

shifter: I'm sure there exists atleast one more guy who watches osx demos...

and the demo itself rocks ofcourse!

"we" want a video too.

nothing new and horrible music...
adapting a single effect to a new demo just isn't enough to entertain.

Hellfire, but then, let's pretend you didn't see aether, would you like the ballet dancer? Anyway this was powerful on the big screen and quite nice to watch. I especially like the details of the dancer's pulsating limbs. The not-so-synchronised dancing is sort of a bonus to me, a change from the usual totally synched stuff.

shit i forgot the thumb!

hmm watched it again and enjoyed it, but I noticed there's too much grain everywhere :)

it's really awesome.
unfortunately a total reuse of the effect from aether, but still a thumb up.

It's not a demo, it's pure art.Same shock than seeing Desert Dream in early 90's.Splendid

wtf ? Desert Dream comparing to this demo ?? No way!

Desert Dream on the big screen is definitely a must and nothing to do with this.

However, I am really fascinated by the sound ambiance in this one... But not thumbing up because it's too much oh la la.

It looks very unusual which is good, but it is boring. Perhaps I'm not in the right mood just now.

,,

@uncle-x:



(if the img link works...)

Fire, isn't it? :)

Anyway before installing the last ati Catalysts (mobility radeon 9700) the dancing squiddie in Aether was simply cloudy, and not bright yellow...

More dancing squiddies!

uncle-x: broderick said that it was just before installing the last ati Catalysts. I was showing this demo to my friend on his R9200 and before we've installed newest drivers, there was visible artifacts like wireframe of a hemisphere for the background and funny wireframe that was forming a postcard in the foreground (like You were using couple of postprocessing stages, which were drawn using triangle strips and first stage used four vertices drawn in one order, and another used the same vertices but drawn in reverse order - blah - I don't think that what I've just written is readable). BUT I think that such errors are on the side of drivers - so don't bother check it on latest drivers on all configs You can get and that's it - coders don't need to walk with sticks in their asses.

must leave out with a piggy, coz
colorsheme lokks like aether,
the effect appears in aether
(although done brilliant)
the music is ...erm not suitable for my taste
and afterall there is only _one_ thing showed in the demo.
but it's far away from beeing crap

Shifter: WE.

uncle-x, u're fucking acidhead ninja

I PREFER RUBBER JOHNNY...

SERIOUSLY!
this sucks!

Looks good but music sucks and there's not much to see here.

argh! so close to being perfect. the concept, music, visuals, atmosphere... everything just great. but why thef didn't you take the time to get the synching of the steps right???????
strangely, even though the synch is more ore less non existant it is so obvious how it should have felt that you nearly see the right synching anyway.

just say it suck will you?

wrong thumb btw.. i'll try compensate!

Interesting, but it got repetitive!

As already said,it's almost perfect,well, from some point of view. I wouldn't care it looks like Aether, or that it's too repetitive, with only one scene etc., but why,WHY is it so dark/depressive? Aether was nothing compared to this, like the world itself wasn't full of suffering, pain and depression. Is there any demo from MFX which feels more positive?

That's why thumb down :-(

LOL!! FTL for fakeuser moron of the year. :)

As a coder, it's the first time I don't care how much time spent on this demo. It's too ugly. :(

It's awesome, very few demos manage to create such a dark atmosphere.
And I love the title by the way.

-> ps
I may be a moron, but I can't help myself, there are just two resons why u HAVE to be one of them :-)

1) I've only written my opinion, not mentioning to insult anyone, but yours " LOL!! FTL for fakeuser moron of the year. :)" is not opinion, but just a proof of your very limited mind.

2) just seeing your avatar confirms 1)

U see, I'm not insulting u even now, just my opinion again. (just get rid of that piece of shit u have in your head which is having it's own brain and u'll be fine)

FTL: i'll try, thank you for enlightning me towards the true path.

F-L-T: how about the fact that someone can have an insulting opinion. I think you are gay.

Sure ps, you're welcome :-)

And Quisten, sorry to disappoint you, I've always wanted to, gays seem to be so happy you know, but unfortunately, I'm not, but what can I do.

zzz
ZZZZzzzzZZZ
zzzBLA!

yeah!

U sick sons of...
I won't be able to sleep for weeks.

blew my mind.

Pretty strange...

The camera angles really kept the whole thing interesting. Thumbs up, although I would have liked a better ending. ;)

Sux bigtime! Typical wannabe art demo without any sense.

HARD!!

rrrrr aye! we're getting CLOSER. this is an excellent piece of demo featuring the classic "beauty meets horror" theme. very very nicely done. the music fits the visuals perfectly well. ;)

The Billy Elliot remix :P

sorry, not for me.

cmon guys, this one has an unreal quality.

ahhhhhh - not synchronized, sometimes flickering, totally ugly, horrible music - how the hell could you need about 10 MB to make this shit?! Sorry, but there is nothing good to say...

oh noooo, thump down, thump down!!!

This is a bit scary! But I liked it. It has a completely different feeling than most other ("normal") demos...

idea=great.. but one idea isn't enough for a whole demo..

This is definitely one of my favourites. I fell in love with the dancer already in aether, and it's nice to see a full demo dedicated to this beauty. How can a synthetic dancer be so massive, so agressive, so painful and soooooo totally beautiful at the same time?

Bah... looks like my hardware is too old :(

big thumb up!
just one effect - but what a killer (although recycled) music is clearly not mainstream but it fits perfectly.
creepy shit, maybe should've been a little shorter

Piggy for me. I like it because it's unique, but I'm not a fan of the kind of "music" in it, and it would be nice if the main...thingy, did something other than stomp around aimlessley. I'm not sure exactly what else it could do, though...

truly beatiful.

I also instantly recognized the lovely effect from aether, but after seeing it again it's clear how much more simple it was there compared to this, there is so much more detail in the ballet dancer.

Application error.
The expection illegan instruction
An attempt was made to execute an illegal instruction (0xc000001d) occured in the application at location 0x00432dbf

When trying to run this one with 9600 pro and win2k. Cat 5.8 installed.

I actually like it and the flowness of that thing 8)

i was warned, but watched it anyway.
i expected something worse - but i couldnt imagine that i would see something so crappy.

This bullshit is not even worth beeing mentioned as a demo...its just sick shit.
It is far away from beeing called a demo.

Its just one lame scene, with a lame object and lame textures.

The soundtrack....sorry guys, a fart sounds more musical.

this is serious. did almost squeeze the shit out of me. freaky. really.

docd is seriously stuck in the nineties...

@DocD: 100% Agree!

sick

you got me scared! thanks for sparing my life by not including some scream at the end that would have stopped my pulse! you rule!

PS:
a different taste doesnt mean that someones stuck.
the discussion newskool/oldskool is in the same age than the scene is.

when amiga came out ppl said "you are stuck on your c64".

when aga came out ppl said "damn newskool aga scene - blasphemy!!"

same when pc scene growed, console etc...

so.....this is still crap.
if i could i would thumb down twice.
letting an ugly drug addicted seastar dance on blood hasnt much to do with design.

the biggest shit i saw in 23 years of scene productions...

Fucking cool!!! I love it!

Beautiful!

if it was a matter of taste you could still see the work involved in making it.
dismissing it as pure shit imho just proves that you lack open minded vision.

but i guess thats just the whinning bitch experimental portuguese artyfaggot ps speaking.

naeh... final judgement.

i don't care how good it is or not... (technically or designwise) but it left really bad feelings in me. i don't like it, i am sad. sorry guys!

a video version maybe?!

Very disturbing...

video or osx version NOW!

\o/ RULEZ \o/

interesting concept which creates a very intense atmosphere. too bad i already knew that object, so the surprise effect was a bit weak. also the soundtrack is a bit too nasty in the end and the whole thing is way too long...nevertheless thumbs up for creating something different.

Someone mentionned the music being "recycled" ... Where was it used before?

i fucking like that style and atmosphere mfx creates almost everytime

I really really whould like a video :)

It's boring, the sound drives me crazy. Have seen a lot better from them

well, it IS:
. boring
. tasteless
and i dont like the soundtrack, and it is offsync
the idea is good, the work was wasted
that could have been something, but its just... sad!

what a load of shit.

impressive in its very own way.

Sick... and in that category it rules...

music sux :(

technically impressive (even with the bad sync, well...)
but all it made me want was pressing ESC
it was boring and the music was not good
I've seen loads of prods from you that are 10x better

not my taste

not my cup of tea..

one of the most atmospheric and reminding-of-badtrip demos i have ever seen

Very unusual and I L-O-V-E the music! <3 <3 <3

I can't believe how many people are leaving negative comments for this demo. Despite the fact that it's basically one long effect, this is one of my favorites. It does something that very few do - cross over the boundaries of the "demo aesthetic". In an ocean of cheesy productions this stands out as something very hardcore. I wish there was a website devoted to "badass" demos so I could save time by weeding out all of the ones with jazz fusion and poor taste. Thank you MFX once again!

incisive+sharp+trenchant
pouring blood morpheme of genesis

Not my cup of tea!

its great
so provoking and moody
yes, its disturbing a bit, but hence its strength
true art, no bs

Damn, I didn't vote so far?

From the first viewing on this demo has become one my absolute favourites of 2005. It manages to improve upon an already innovative effect and fill it with meaning. It manages to make a rather abstract object show and induce emotions (and this is where most other demos sadly fail). And above all it's even looking great.

"Now that everything is lost...". This says it all. The viewer gets dragged through loneliness, despair and rage until it all culminates in an orgy of furious self destruction and pain. And I can't remember any single demo so far that was able to convey such a range and intensity of emotions without resorting to cheesy cliches (female models and such ;).

Speaking of cheesy tho: The music somewhat let me down. Judging from the comments above I seem to be accustomed to "harsher" kinds of music than most of the others, but for me the music was a bit too "artsy" with all those choir samples. And the bass drum seriously sucked. This could have been MUCH more.

But, apart from this minor nuisance, as many thumbs up from me as I can possibly afford. Which is, sadly, one.

any chance for a video version for poor gf4mx owners?

comfort zone killer

the best demo of 2005. The final part is too good, amazinnnnng prod

death of a great effect

v i d e o - 5 letter word, w h e n - 4 letter word. Never is never the answer :-).

this one is too identical to Aether. I loved Aether. Had i not seen that one before, I might like Balletdancer more because they really optimized the effect, but Balletdancer is waaaaaaay too long in my opinion. Rehashing the same stuff all over again doesn't convince me enough...

yes! how to burn a great effect,by bleeding it on anxiety

Art.!

i love that demo.

definitely the best one of the few demos i've seen in 2005.

(from myself above :)



K, in my last post the webhost f*cked the linked img, so for the sake of completeness I (re)post the nice fire-dancing squiddie I get in Aether:

better than aether imo

Ok, that's a good example of how a music can fuck up a show. That tune is nasty.

But turning the volume down, the demo looks great, but it's repetitive then ;)

It's really a shame, Piggie.

i love this demo. now, go and vote for the best demo of 2005.

twisted! i love it!

Trying to do something new, props for that - but the execution wasn't up to par - and maybe more effects would've helped.

i hate it

Yes! Difficultly that that to tell. I think, at everyone the impressions. Terribly, but and that else it was possible to wait from MFX. It is far not " back to italy ". Avant guarde, beauty, experement. Perfectly! CPU LOVEZ U!

2 kb_ & All people! .

By the way really about music... I have been surprised by such track. Similar ýêñïåðåìåíòîâ
From MFX with a sound I did not hear with " mother, mother my ears bleed ". I can and I am mistaken. Though they have precisely got in my mood. I was to tell the truth in a shock as to last time intensively I listen IDM, BreakCore, HardStep and similar. Also it is a pity that greater fingers so a little!

What should i say about this one... Experimental... Strange... Somewhat Shocking...

It is.. Different, but not bad

you guys will never come close to Chris Cunningham or even Blue Spoon/Statix, but it was a nice attempt by a bunch of airy-fairy Finns.

Props for trying to emulate the masters of electro-psycho horror.

berbat, igrenc....bu ne be.........

the one in aether was better of course but has its mood anyway

A bit boring and looks too fastmade, but creepy theme rules.

I can't get enough of that effect!

one of the few demos that don't look like demoscene demos. wonderful.

this is seriously good!! (albeit a bit long)

[by the way, we really need a video! to be more precise, a _highquality_ video!]

Man, I loved this! Very disturbing with the music and the bloody goo-stuff and all of it, love it!

absolutely great stuff =)

Maybe technically good but pretty boring, sorry. Much too long if you ask me.

...'just' a lazy aether spin-off. =)

i adore this demo,

the soundtrack is wonderfully inspired and evokes a lot of things (at least to me)
it is contrasted, very changing, located at an undefined spot between idm, glitch, breakcore and contemporary music.
i find it contrasted, to me it's stressing and relaxing at the same time.

and i'm very happy to see it totally leading the visuals.
while the visuals are pleasantly cinematographic as your visual style has evolved in the last two years, it's a pleasure to see this effect from "aether" following such a synchro-unfriendly soundtrack (synchro-unfriendly i found it, since it has at the same time way too much and way too few audible synchro points).

i would love to have it as a video i could play on my mac. for now i'm just looping the soundtrack in itunes.
i got to see the demo only a few times, most memorable one was at breakpoint during the awards ceremony with the huge speakers, a total pleasure.

weird, original and provoking. makes me feel uneasy

"art". bleeeah. :)

but really, what they manage to do is take a simple, five-armed starfish thingie and viciously trounce it through a lake of blood, to a once-beautiful choir mangled in violent drum beats. that is what mfx is all about. i only wish it were more than a one-trick pony, since visually, the screenshot is about all you get. thumbs up go to the timing work which serves as a model for future productions.

it's great. very emotional and hypnotizing.

fucking impressive. tho it gets long toward the end. some kind of evolution would be good.

My taste is said to be peculiar. By some said to be dark and weird even.

I don't consider myself easily scared by such things as might appear strange compared to the normal life experience.

Never in my entire life have so many conflicting feelings passed through me watching a demo. Nor watching or listening to any piece of art.

It repulsed me to an extent of actually raising hairs. Yet the beauty of the production and the beauty of this vision. This otherworldy creature going through whatever motions are natural to it.

All the emotions evident in the negative comments (some camouflaged more than others) point to only one thing: this production touches something people rather leave untouched.

This piece needs to have a place in a museum. It deserves it more than many pieces now in such locations.

Haven't give a thumb yet? Blasphemy! The mood in this demo is creepy in a nice way and the music just rocks. One of the best demos ever.

Someone should indeed see a shrink.

I like it!

disturbingly awesome.

aphex twin style, great omnious atmosphere!!!

great!

i havent commented it yet ??????
overrated.

beauty.

awesome.

second cdc is for you dear mfx <3

veeeeeery excellent :)

great

hmmmm not my cup of tea!!

\(OO)/

could be more interesting

awesome.

On the one hand I really hate this one. It is some kind torture that causes me pain. It must be one of the things they use for extraordinary rendition in combination with sleep deprivation! On the other hand it’s great that a demo can transport this kind of emotion, it is perfectly synced to a music supporting the overall mood and story, is a fresh new innovative idea and has a consistent stylish look. Thumb Up!

brutál

wow! like a nightmare scene from a david lynch movie. really cool! the soundtrack rules.

I want the dancer to go away and die. And I do mean die. Like, really die. Like, never to be seen on the scene anymore - unless somebody makes a 4K remake of this. Which could be done, I suppose.

feels evil & nice to me.

worst mfx demo ever

space but i like this :)

one of my favourite, if not my favourite PC demo. Not for the effects or technical reasons, of course.

awesome prod! mfx <3

~10.5MB unpacked with 8.9MB mp3-musicfile and just 1.6MB for the "rest" is ultra-sucking.

I am now mentally disturbed. Thank you.

die lamers... die. this ... is ... pwnage

Beautifully disturbing. Or disturbingly beautiful. A well-deserved thumb up, that's for sure.

Art.

OK concept, but the music makes this painful to watch.

I like the concept. Both visual and music is very good, but... i don't known... i had the feeling that something's missing.

watched it again and finally changed my mind...
btw: both visual and music are excellent! :)

Can't stand the visuals or music. Only positive is attempt to go outside the box.

i didn't even see this... fantastic!

Uncomfortable and creepy. Totally my thing! I fucking love it!

<3

Its interesting, its ugly, its basicly one effect, its disturbing, its disgusting.

I don't like it.

<3

what Zweckform said. and the music sucks.

I love it <333

Tip: watch this while suffering from lovesickness or any other kind of depression. You will find it a very adequate representation of life.

definitely... love \o/

I prefer it as a part from aether.

definitly not aphex twin style but fucking great anyway!

V8uEzGuvfc

Very good.
The motion of the dancer is great.

awesome!

kinda depressive and scary... mmmh

What Zweckform said.

I don't know why I haven't thumbed it yet...

damn great

not that interesting

Too few demos manage to induce feelings of horror. This manages that to some degree. Although it gets boring after a while. You could've have changed the pacing somewhat and had something in the middle to break the monotony. All in all an interesting and inspiring prod.

madness

Mindblowing

break our brains!

a classic. I've never been convinced by all the emotions peolpe read into this. However its a great demo nontheless.

Yeah

I like to watch this one over and over again... soundtrack owns.

scary

\o/

It's fucking creepy and has nice graphics, but it's the same thing for almost 4 minutes. wtf?

Original!

Piece of art.

>>

fuck, i forgot how much this demo dominates!! uncle-x, please do 16:9 ratio update for the fans...it only runs in 4:3 here (ati)...unless iime doing something wrong.

agreed! we want the HD WIDE version! this is the TRUE PIECE OF ART!

+1 for the hd 16:9 version of this PIECE OF ART!

Lightheaded stuff.

MFX ossomness as usual :)

Video MP4 1280x720

scary...art!

Made a Highres Youtube Rip for it on my HD channel:
The Ballet Dancer by mfx (1080p)

The first time I watched this I got a strange, uneasy, feeling. Not unlike the feelings that some of Chris Cunninghams videos induce.
A strange feeling that something is wrong but you can't pinpoint the exact processes in the mind that makes the feeling uneasy.
The concept is brilliant and I think that the demo manages to go where it was intended to go.
I don't really know if I would like this kind of stuff on a party, but at home in the dark with volyme pumped all the way up to 11... yes.

Ball it dancer!

O_O

madness !

dance until death

the evolutionary consequence to that dancing object in aether. the music sucks! piggy

atmospheric

i remember this

i actually don't like the music that much even though i really feel like i should :) (it has to do with the "kick drum" sound, too plain and cheap...), but the concept and visuals, oh man...

overrated like all mfx prods.

thumb.

Was blown away when I first saw this. Just re-watched it for the first time in quite a while and it still packs a punch. A classic and probably my favorite PC demo.

I love this.

so good!!

Psyché!

video: if you go here and click download, you can get this small video in a .zip

Can't believe I never thumbed this glorious rendition of nightmarerish horror madness and chaos.

I'm nearly 30, and this shit never fails to creep me the fuck out, even when I'm 100% sober. mfx guys were on to something here.

True demo art. I have almost forgot how good it was over the years. Much better than all this recent supposed to be 'motion/infographics' bland/pastel thingies without real concept behind. Only one complaint: more of this, please!

i actually love it

Forgot to thumb that one.

Deliciously creepy. Maybe a bit too long.

I lack words.

creepy but awesome

this is so awesome and weird and all the other things we don't have words for. Great stuff

Interesting.

I think I would have "enjoyed" this one a lot more without the drums.

Disturbing, but nice!

funny to see the evolution of MFX during the years, i first discover them with transgression II on my 486 which was even more experimental than this one, more content, in 64K
