It doesn't look bad, with faster music and some more dynamic it can be a nice Demo or intro. The idea is cool :)
beautiful stuff you got there... since it wasn't released at any party, i won't blame about ripped music.
switches resolution, gives me a blank screen for half a sec, and exits (does return to proper resolution). too bad, i'd like to see this. i've a winxp pro laptop with intel centrino 1.4ghz, intel extreme graphics ii (sucky) adapter. sounds like some incompatibility in the startup code. do you errorcheck? maybe it's my lack of hwvp?
Nice rendering and powerfull scenes. Would have give it a thumb without ripped trax for sure. Well done!
commercial EBM! \o/
nice :)
i think it aint't that bad. only think i can't manage to comprehend is why you write in the nfo that you're ashamed of the code and general unfinished stuff, but release it anyway..
This really impressed me. The music suits the scenes perfectly and it al looks great although it's only cubes.
Somehow the CPU usage is kinda high. It runs nice on my notebook with fast CPU and slow GPU, but on my PC with slow CPU and fast GPU it's like a slideshow.

Ok stuff, but nothing that cool. Some cubes strangely disappears suddenly in the "light"-scene. Otherwise would be a piggie, but have to thumb down ripping.
sweeeeeeeeeeeet stuff :)
Eyh! I want you to finish this!
Gives a new meaning to cubism. In fact: lovely!
i second slemmy, nice work!
clean and simple, cubez 4 prez
Looks nice, isn't too artsy. And having watched demos since '89 I sort of a have a soft spot for cubes.. Shame about the ripped music though, especially with such ear-piercingly bad vocals.
i like it - finally some creative usage of very basic opengl
such cubic art is eye orgasm!
instant coup de coeur!

Skrebbel, so far it's worked on all computers I've tried it on. I'd blame the intel extreme graphics adapter.. but of course it could be our code as well, the demoengine used is over a year old and really buggy. But porting it to the new, better one would basically mean rewriting the effects as well, as the API is different nowadays and I really don't feel like doing that any time soon.
0xtob, the reason it's so slow is that it all rotations, lighting etc is done with software. Most of this was coded before I learned proper OpenGL and it shows.. but again, a total rewrite would take time and motivation I don't have.
And yeah, I apologize again for using ripped music. One of the main reasons this wasn't released at a party was the fact that I think the music fits the demo so well.. I know few scene musicians, and none of them could probably produce anything like this. If you're able and willing to work with us in the future, drop me an e-mail :-)

nice effects, music sux.
nice but :o
What?! A demo with meaning that isn't annoying? Well done :-)
/me likes it.
nice demo, especially the music is great!
The glow looks cool too and nice idea to build everything with cubes. Perhaps a name like cubemaniac would have fit better :P

we love traction demos !
kudos to the top idea and originality! LOVE IT! (but church disapproves of such simplification)
preacher, okay. i'll try on another box. some day.
Great Cubes.
Oh, and ripping music still sucks. On the other hand... can I really give a thumb down to THIS guy:
... ? No.

very pretty stuff.. the scene poetry didnt make me angry either.. neither did the use of cubes.. well done!
piggie should be enough...
oh, and btw:
"congratulations, no memory leaks found!".
now where is my price ?

Beautiful!
Such a nice concept, and now wasted... :/
Now if you only could find a scener making THAT kind of music, would be nice for a change...

original and moody, like all the traction prods, I like ! show off the new engine then :)
nice prod
Well, good prod even if you think it's unfinished =)
visuals looks (and are) unfinished, scenes are good, texts and thema sucks, some good ideas and renderings.
btw music have potential and textures are not good for this kind of scenes.
pigface

brilliant...
i mean... this is fucking awesome... i'm stunned...

Really cool-looking, and great atmosphere, even though the latter is probably more because of the music than anything else.
the music is what creates the atmosphere, no doubt about it. the rest is pretty good actually, but it doesn't really go anywhere after the "light"-part, which is a shame.
pcx rulez
one scene is crazy!!!1 :D
Normaly I dont like this kind of slow demos, but this was so nice and pretty and muisic fitted nice to it atmosphere.
cubes and glow! nothing can go wrong.
kb: who? i saw atleast 3-4 german guys on that pictures.
man, this IS awesome.
next time try to finish it properly, with a non-ripped song... but this left me breathless as it is now...

Nicely done! Keep up the good work, and somebody please help him out with the music...
surprised me very pleasantly even though it looked unfinished. The first few scenes were really great!
potentially good, but unfinished and too much ripping
Very nice.
gay track, but visuals fits and looks nice.
really cool atmosphere, but i think the ripped music has a big part to do with it. Still really good though.
surely this was nice music, but bad for being ripped. im sure jugi / complex would have done a good job for that. i am personally a fan of light, so thumbs up!
liked it!
Nice, I except for the last scene you don't really notice it is unfinished!
Very clever and sensitive, good abstract scenes, nice abstract design of eight scenes of life.
Ripping music sux, but VNV Nation track fit to the overall feeling of demo...

Good demo. But near plane cutting the cube (omg) and ripped music make it piggy.
so well pulled of, even though i dislike ripping this demo needs the vnv nation tune to become what it is, imo a timeless masterpiece, will be one of my favorite demos for a long long long time.
Some really great visual ideas!
But...
Ripped music that doesn't fit and kinda sucks. Don't know why everyone's so hyped about MIDI strings that sound like default Windows GM sounds mixed with a guy who can't sing and has a *horrible* voice.
Or maybe I've just visited one too many opera productions in my life.

Wow, this is really great! I can't believe it's unfinished. Traction <3
what?
it's amazing what can be done with simple cubes
Mhhm, wanted to see it again, but link's br0ken. :(
Hmm.. it's pointing to Preacher's migty homepage. Still, worked now when I tested it :) ...maybe this should be added to the scene.org.
(...odd, now it's working again... %-) )
beautiful! traction rocks
Holy dogfuck this rules!
I don't like the mood of the demo. Flat cubes maybe elite but really boooooring. No thumb now (maily of the music ...)
I can't beleive i haven't review that one.
One of my favorite of 2004.
Very good mood .. nice abstraction with a neat concept behind.
I wish to see more of this ... It rules of course

Nice 1
finally saw this. preacher, if ever i meet you in person, i'm going to offer you a drink. this is damn wonderful.
nice visuals but the ripped track doesn't really suit here - so a piggy it is.
I didn't mind the track in fact, I think it suits the demo ok.
Some really good parts, great demo :-)

Great. I would've liked to see it finished :)
THIS...IS...FUCKING...BEAUTIFUL...
it took my breath away.
Strikingly beautiful
very nice
How could I miss this one? Fuckings for ripping music, this could have been one of my favs...
what dixan said.
this might be in need of remixing, with original music and graphics :-)

A remix is in the works, inter alia. Anyone willing to supply me with quality music that compliments the theme, feel free to contact me.
i like the concept and most of the scenes. but i can see why you say its unfinished. looking forward to check that remix if it ever comes out.
great demo. but i'd use the other version of this track, as that's faster, but that's only me. anyway, good one.
nice, CUBES :)
this could be a nice coup de couer
i loved it. nice ideas expressed with cubes. and music fits very well.
ripped music is better than shit music.
An ÜberMood production in the best of taste.
sounds good, looks better
simple & beautiful..
music fits excellent..

cubes are life
dead link :(
(reminder) excellent demo.
yes, good, i like cubes, i like song, i like black hole
wow, very nice work
The music is awesome, it makes me cry. And the design is just perfect. Lovely piece of demo.
I really liked this one.
Congratulations! No memory leaks found!

Great atmosphere and excellent music!
Beautiful! Thumbs up for Preacher, Vulture and Mr.Harris. :) Legion \o/

Feels more like an idea that has not been completed, than it feels like a complete demo. Semi-nice music, though, and the idea with the cubes gaining/losing textures is nice.
Lovely
where's my thumb?
Pure beauty. And the best use of a commercial track ever
its nice to see good use of ripped music when its openly confessed to.
Great story, visuals and music
Commercial music, but still a good demo.
A-a-awesome!
Love it.
Love it.
A very nice demo ruined by music. These whining vocals...
LOL VNV Nation ;)
Shame this was never finished as there prolly are a bunch of artists that can replicate the feeling of the song ... really liked the "death" scene.

Cubes+Glow and ripped music which just run side-by-side at best.
Oh hey, this one is by far the most creative way of using cubes only I've seen so far. Really loved the billboard effect at 'birth', and left a bit puzzled what 'life' tries to show me - my guess is that my finished ideas inspire others?
Soundtrack isn't my cup of tea somehow, but it really sets the mood - as it's a unfinished demo I understand the usage of commercial music, while waiting for the actual musician to deliver something as moody.
Very cool one!

It was never meant to be released in this form, I was just toying around with the primitive glow filter that I came up with but then decided to put it up on Pouet on a particularly beautiful and cold autumn day (I still remember it for some reason, I put it up on Pouet and took a long two hour's walk by the seaside after that). The lyrics in the song somehow became relevant during the process and then I just decided to release it as is and not wait for a suitable soundtrack
The 'life' was meant to be a sort of a transformation. I had an idea of a sequel where it would pick up on that, but it never materialized. In retrospect I think the cubes should've turned into wireframes again, to make a loop.
