Stylish, different, cool. Should have ranked A LOT better. Very artistic, the music rules my world. IMHO one of the best accel demos to hit the scene in some time.
really great design and music! lassi done it great, as always. one of the nicest accel demo nowdays.
a little bit too long, but a good job anyway.
you can't get bored of this one. katastro.fi is showing us the way to a new generation of demos. me likes it a lot. yep.
it be lil' bit monotonous
but the design be excellent and the music compliments the mood... irie

music, wow... very Aphex Twin... the demo is very ambient. Does get a bit boring after many viewings, but then again, what demo doesn't? It's a good, if not great demo, with killer music.
wow. so kool... why didnt this win. one of the best demos Ive ever seen...
Another one of the "sucking demotrends" demos I can't understand why people like it so much..
Lately I had seen that again and I started to like it (Who knows :)
But that's what happens with every "Sucking Demotrend" demos I don't understand..
But still, I don't think it will be in my favorite list ever..

a fucking black layer scrolling, too much layers, we cant see anything!!! very boring, it's sad because background seems to be great! please, remake it without sucking layers, it may be more great
I definititely love that style. it apart of the best demos I've ever seen
wekilldaenemy.
dont analyze it, use it as a screensaver. you'll understand it abit better after some plays.

this demo sports some really unbelievably good music by brothomstates. the demo is an audiovisual masterpiece, no doubts about it.
the holy shrine of the temple of CNCD.
big thumbs up to this wonder...

mmm yumyum bstates and the works. just had to vote...
i wont gave this dezinstuff a thumbsup noway
so why bother to comment anyway?
Brilliant stuff, although the scenes tend to grow old fast (the start scene, for instance)
Music is incredible, and the overall atmosphere is quite good.
I still understand why this demo was rated pretty low at TP: it *is* a peculiar kind of demo.

i don't like it but that's ofcourse just my opinion, actually i think it sucks, saw it once and deleted it, boring like hell ... and depressing
I like the whole photograph-business, although I liked it better in 2nd Floor.
And that's all I have to say about this subject.

c'mon ppl, this demo has an ambience which cannot be discarded just like that. how many demos with THAT ambience have you seen last year? yeah, gerbera. yeah, any sunflower piece of art. well?
this one is my personal favourite along with gerbera. 'mood' is the word.

You.are.my.Gods :)
If I will look at it few times more, with my own pace, with good mood,.. perhaps I will appreciate it oneday. I remember running it in a friend oneday and watching it carefully,.. it almost went to appeal me,.. but still not ;)
A funny thing,.. oneother day in oneother mood I will run it again... I don't vote it yet...

This is not fair!
You had no permission to do this kind of production!
You all should be in prison.
Definitely.

great demo, if a 'lil boring near the finale.
I remember coming 'wow!!!' when the first photo (jumping boy) appeared. this beautiful effect made popular by Matrix movie - static picture of a dynamic object with camera travelling around it - is now badly overused in ads, etc..

kind of a prophet of sucky and boring artycrap demos!
To me, this one is nothing else but pointless and rather boring. The music is pretty good, but can't save this production. Dissapointing.
It's so good demo in such many ways that I can't decide where to start...
One of the first accelerated demos that showed how hardware can be used in creative way, not only for boring 3d flybys. Music and gfx are both brilliant and while code doesn't provide anything special it does it work. This demo is not about highly optimized effects but delivering a message in such beautiful form only cream of the crap (ie. demos) can do.
"Tee parempi."

dunno.
incredible mood, but too long and slow with an excessive use of multi-layers.
anyway, thumb up for the design and the music, plus the different use of a 3D-acceleration.

good like a bottle of old wine. of course it also means you need the palate education to appreciate it.
no vote from me yet? well, it's got cool photogfx with lots of different noisy layers above. oh yes, and the music. interesting.
nice pleasant mood 8)_
its weird and very very g00d!
This demo has a very nice mood set by bstate's awsome music, and I also like those 'cardboard people' in the 3d scenes. Too bad it gets alot worse after the melodic part in the music.
Very good shit. Nice coherent style and the 'cardboard people' were an excellent addition. Bstates music was also excellent, as usual.
nice design, rockz.
beautiful
won't run on anything i test it on.
Kkowboy, Moral Hard Candy ,"""" by Alien Prophets, Codename Chinadoll - that's all
Yeehaa, didn't like it when I first saw it, but after watching it again, I really adore it.
quite cool
Relax.
music sounds cool, can't watch it though
this is splendid.. few demos manage to create such an amazing atmosphere. very very nice flow of visuals.
has a pretty nice visual density which still makes it look different from the other slideshows of effects.

Ok, watched it again. Still no thumb up, but definitely no thumb down either. :) (it's still dead slow with d3d here, so I switched to OGL and it ran much faster).
From what i remember this is an ok:ish demo, it doesn't seem to want to start on my computer right now though.
first time i watched it i hated it, second time it was ok, the third time it was genious :)
yes, a classic this one
i thought it suffered more as it went on, but the first half makes up, with the masses of great style.

Good demo and technologically impressive. There's still some lack of action and point. It's just random images spinning in some technoshitbackground :)
brothomStates's We kill da enemy is one his best tracks and it fits well in the demo.

it's good in the same way "citizen kane" is a good movie. i like it alot, feels like it moves me.
i agree with flrent; "amazing atmosphere".
the music is absolutely beautiful. i get very nostalgic when i listen to this wekilldaenemy.mp3.
thanks katastro.fi / bstates

This is almost like a soothing lullaby to the soul.
Yes it is NeZbiE
Ruulz.
Great demo
how many of you have seen this projected on wall at kiasma, i dont think many foreigners ;D
i correct my last sentence, i dont think many foreign scener has seen this demo at kiasma, it was at katastro.fi exhibition at "kontti" space.
Nice visuals, colors, design motif... with Brothomstates' music, it evokes an odd feeling of nostalgia
killer demo, killer soundtrack.
Fantastic mix between 2d and 3d. Awesome 3d editing and programming. Nice electronica.
Totally unique demo.
I would still vote for it in any compo if it was released this or next year.
superdemo, everything is good about this one
different, unforgetable
different but way too boring.
relaxed and inspiring
one of the most underrated demos ever! brilliant, designwise and musicwise!
Soundtrack makes the demo
Someone upload a bigger screenshot.
I really love this production! Really stylish.
Probably one of the best demoscene tracks ever made? :)
why isnt it on caped/DTV ?
MUSIC!!!!
Great music. Unfinished, but when you read the info you know why...
Beautiful!

If you mean the "passing away" thing - I remember talking to Rawer from Katastro.fi at FMX who pointed out that it was just really bad wording: the coder didn't actually die, just left the scene, and is still very much alive. :)
the music is absolutely wonderful until the 2:28 mark, after that it becomes hardly bearable and totally loses its magic coherence.
visuals are nice, but lose their attraction halfway into the demo.
still a thumb for seriously intriguing 2 minutes and 28 seconds.

Yep!
Fuck yea! 10 years later, this tune finally made it to a cd-release; "Chilling Cuts Vol 4" / Compiled By Sundial Aeon. Feel the nostalgia. All thumbs are up =>

YouTube video
great atmosphere in this one. classic!
style.
Still a good one. A tad bit too long or uniform.
Please people, do run the demo. The youtube video resolution is... bad.

it's almost 5pm, I'm watching demos...... oh god the soundtrack
one of the best ever. these guys know how to cast magic.
Excellent!
wierd
Well what do you expect from such a supergroup? One of my favorite tracks from bstates (+yolk).
Great demo, probably the PC-demo I've been watching the most. Love the chill out track and that several layer stuff. Impressive... A great piece of style...
And good to know what was really meant with the coder has "passed away", thought about something more serious...
really cool
i never thumbed this classic up?!?!?!
Brothomstates+Crankshaft <3
That music <3
yeah that music
Yes.. of course the music is excellent, but combine it with those wonderful layers of slightly-unnerving visuals and I could get lost in this kind of ambience for hours..
god bless the youtubes on the internets <3
.
Catastrophically cool.
..is my comment too lame? Ok, then "cool". And the music. And the music♡

fuck this is GOOD
neat
tune vote!
the soundtrack has surpassed its time. timeless! i like the visual arrangement too.
for me, this is one of my favorite demos of all time.
I fell oddly nostalgic every time I watch it.....

Always liked it.
Well-crafted atmosphere, interesting visuals, pleasant music. Thanks to that it doesn't feel remotely as dated as its age would suggest. I kind of agree with keith303 about the 2:28 mark, but it's not enough to detract from the overall enjoyment.
Classic.
note: if it doesn't run, check out if the path that leads to the demo contains unicode characters. The DLL loading fails (and says so in log.txt) if so.
Like the colors, idea, and music that made this demo.
i remember back in the 90s i had panic attack while watching this demo after smoking some weed, probably because that depressing music and sleep deprivation due too much clubbing.
despite that, it's still one of my favourite tracks lol

also dune and yolk should be punished for not releasing it on vinyl...
amazing demo, great music
Great use of 3dfx Glide! Runs great on original hardware, okay under dgVoodoo2 and nGlide 3dfx Glide wrappers.
looks fire
Shocked to read of the death of the programmer for this. RIP.
Thanks to Windows being the powerhouse that it is, this still runs well today. Throw a wrapper at it if you wish but Direct3D works fine too albeit with there being a window border visible. Not sure if Glide has any extra effects but I doubt it.

I should really read other comments. He's not dead! Just moved onto real life too soon...
