I really can't stand the music in this one. It's so incoherent... so little melody... and all these annoying 'effects' over it all the time.
Horrible.
Shame, some of the best Haujobb demos have excellent soundtracks, and it fits the style well.

The rest of the demo is standard Visualice-style. Nice 'organic' objects and all... But nothing special, nothing we haven't seen before.
This one is definitely not of the same quality as Liquid... Wen?

A few cool visuals, but it all goes to waste due to the terrible soundtrack (dare not call that "music") and ugly, repetitive design.

A shame, really.

best music in a haujobb demo EVER !

yawn. good music though.

My first impression was something like: 'uh, channel nr. 5 vs. we took the green pill'. Definitely not as good as liquid wen or elements.

Boring as hell and incoherent.

doesnt run...

some pretty scenes, but nothing new.
another yawn.

its ok.good music.
lil boring tho...

ok it runs in windowed :)

has some ugly-ass stuff, and some cool stuff, the music really rules, so a thumbs up

yay, music was not that bad. i liked the synching ideas here.

So. What we are dealing with : classical haujobb demonstration, ambient atmosphere, well designed. But where is ectasy?

I think this is actually better than liquid. Graphics are excellent (as usual), music kicked ass and it had nice syncs.

Music okay, synch okay, demo/effects/graphics the usual hjb output.

Hmm, usually Haujobb demos work just fine on my box but this one produces a crash both in windowed and fullscreen mode.

The <b>AMAZING</b> soundtrack combined with wicked syncing and nice gfx make this the most enjoyable haujobbdemo ever!
(Allthough Im getting a bit tired of the recycling of old design in some hjb-releases :)

I liked it :-)

Good soundtrack. awesome visuals.. would have been kicking with some more innovative code...

music & gfx changed (almost), but that's always the same demo...

i don't really like this for certain reasons but it still deserves a thumb up

a bit senseless and lacking of coherence between the scenes. the sync is very weird.

still, i love the music and the graphics are once again remarkable.

I've always loved Haujobb

The usual.

The usual thumb.

the usual.

The usual thumb.

uhm, looks like all other haujobb stuff, didnt u promiss to stop doin demos? =)

well it was nice yes. The music itself is cool but it does not fit the demo. the demo design looks more like a winamp visualization plug in , than demo. ~_° ?

Hmm... I don't know what to say about this.

I've thumbed up almost every Visualice-styled Haujobb demo, but maybe not this time. Many of the individual visual elements are quite nice, in fact even more polished than previous efforts. But the demo just doesn't seem right in some way. I can't really describe why.

I suppose in some aspect other Haujobb/Visualice demos feel like a 'trip' from point A to point B. This thing just kinda stands still in the middle of nowhere.

Nice graphs but the demo is purely haujobb : a bunch of scenes where faces, triangles and alpha faces move, with no particula effect... boring, so.

hmm i like this demo. The Music is cool since i like such stuff a lot, although some people won't like it for sure...

ok stuff but perhaps a bit boring.

not quite as memorable as liquid-wen, but saved by a few newish ideas.. and i like the soundtrack a lot with the granulated breakbeat.. the text was intriguing enough and was presented well.. i would've liked more of the antialiased pseudo-wireframed organic 3d blobby things (??) as it added some fresh interest to an old hjb standyby..

oh, and the only recently released demo that gets a good framerate on my "obsolete" amd1.6ghz/256mb/geforce2 ;)

Lots of eyecandy graphics but I think some of the more interesting effect should have been shown longer. But then again you really are making moves to quick to see :>

great graphics/textures and scripting, but the soundtrack doesn't do anything for me, and i think i spotted some already used 3d-objects. this is perhaps the first haujobb-demo i didn't immediately love. might grow in me though.. (oh, and fast code)

Ok.. seemingly on some Radeon cards this demo might crash or play really wrong. You can try running it in windowed mode (might help or then not), wait for a possible final release or go watch it with your friend who has a GeForce.

Hmm... anyways I think I'll make an exception and comment on an own group prod now.

As Thom said already this is quite polished demo but every piece don't still fit together. Now after watching "We Are" for quite many times I think it's not about anything itself would be bad quality (on the contrary most of the gfx are great) but it's more about missing a connection between parts. I also personally like the soundtrack by Xhale but it doesn't perhaps fit that well in this demo.

As for the repeatitive progression, this was also ment to be a sequel to We Took The Greenpill.

On the good side, I like the synchs alot and on a right state of mind this kind of flashy and quick changes gets easily hypnotizing.

nice music, but the visuals and sync are sub-par even for yahd (yet another haujobb demo) style.

yea it does rule in fact... watching it on the big screens at the sota was interesting, too bad there were a little buzz in the background which killed a bit the supa soundtrack!!!!!

coz YEA this soundtrack is good, who care about melodies in demos? the music is interesting, really well done and the syncs on it are good.

tho i'm sure many people won't like it, criticizing the fact it's boring, repetitive blablablablabla. that's the real way to make demos maybe? don't care about the scene, make your stuffs, some will like, some won't, that's all about personal matter for sure

The jumpy animations and colorful graphics didn't work well with Xhale's usual (but nice) spooky track

it exist a word for this kind of demo : haujobbish
this one is haujobbish and not memorable.

Hauhobbish, true.
Sorry, no thumb this time...

cOol, interesting and funny ideas, has sincronism, nice colors, meshes, and overall feeling, I like it

Ok, so... is haujobb back?
Well, great demo, as all haujobb ones.

You say it's incoherent and boring, but i stll wish i could do a demo like the ones Timo does...

Cool, before I saw this demo I thought that the sentence "This is even more the same than everything else" was illogical.

very cool indeed

I actually really liked this one because it's DIFFERENT from Haujobb's usual schtick. The sync was amazing; a weird trippy jazz song with hypnotic pulses timed to the visuals. It's a departure from the norm; yes there are floating transparent organic structures and nice 2-D art, but it's not a smooth and buttery thing, it's more of a stuttering mess that becomes entrancing. Kudos!

Typical high quality visualice artwork with typical abstract 3d models, sync'ed very nicely with a rather spooky (but very interesting) tune. However there is something missing from this demo, and I'm afraid that what's missing is a 'pulse' :-/

as always

kb got it rite!
it is definately visualice's handwriting but then, i can second twoflower's opinion more than anything else's.

it is *VERY* different in mood than any other HJB demo, it also got quite some new things (oh well, forget the screenshot, its not representing demo that well). sync kicked some butt as well, maybe even a bit too much of it since i think this demo should've been a little more calm not flashing scenes like there's no tomorrow. muzik was good as well if you are the guy to accept more than one style.

anyway, perhaps my fav demo from visualice!

not so bad...
...but not so good

- see and make you own opinion -

Contrary to the first post, i think the music rules. As well as the entire demo.

Xhale track is great. Visualice gfx are great. Atmosphere is great.

Do i like HJB ? YES !

won't run on my recently installed det.xp.41.09..
just a med-quality hjb demo.

must be a conflict between the detonators and XP.. i'm using 41.09 on 98 and can view this with no problems..

The same haujobb clean (too clean) work. Nothing change, no new concept, no new style. Hey ! Haujobb ! Can't you use your imagination and find something new ?

thumb for the track. the demo is so-so

as this demo started i thought "okay, a visualice demo again"... the demo got better the longer i watched it. nice effects, good sync & a kickass soundtrack - defenetly a really good hjb production.

i cant understand why ppl keep saying "visualice here, visualice there". okay, due to their most famous productions, which all have "visualice-style-objects"... but dont forget about the other ppl which are involved into such productions! pay credits to them! :-)

and don´t blame hjb for doing different stuff! thats inovation! some people here dont know what they want: if haujobb does a "visualice-style" demo, they complain about it and say "blabla, the usual style" and if they´re doing something different, people start complaining about "ooh! that does not fit hjb!" so what do you want?....

well, some people here always post crap about all the good releases, which can be found here on pouet. kinda strange, that most of them NEVER visit a scene-party or never released something before. those people simply SUCK.

my 2 cents

i think a script would be in place for haujobb + razor1911 wich automatically thumbs down, yes, i do

30.82 detonators didn't help this one start either.. gotta love nvidia driver team..

this prod does not rule compared with other
hjb-prods like elements or liquid-wen, but's
much better than some other prods released
at sota02 and many other demos i've seen before! haujobb, you are very good...

this is definitely not a bad demo. i actually like the soundtrack, and the visuals. visualice's a freakin genius, no debate about that.

but i have to second the people who said that something's missing this time. there's no kick. no "wow". more like "haven't i seen those objects somewhere? they used to be silver rather than chrome".

haujobb can deliver much more than that! and i hope they'll do it again next year.

Very good another HJB demo i think it was a little underrated (a place about 3 -4 will suit for this demo better) ... a new looks to a making a hjb demo... graphic is a bit weird and "no-simple object" and music i also weird, but this thing together makes a very good feelings from this prod...still i thumbin up

Not as good as Liquid Wen, but overall nice.

please notice that it does not make any sense to compare this to "Liquid Wen".
Liquid Wen is pop,
while this is not,
and, such, results in a higher level of mass-disfavourment.

i agree with hellfire. compared to liquid wen this is not a pop demo (mainly because of the sound).
still i wish this would have had some more of the green pill spirit which was somehow missing here.
moreover in the end it crashes my machine everytime so no thumb this time.

the only way it can be compared to liquid wen is that it looks the same and is as poorly made

the only way it can be compared to liquid wen is that it looks the same and is as poorly made

haujobb doesnt deserve visualice, this is abuse.

A_Lee_N : pouet doesnt deserve you, and nobody is saying a word about that, so...lol

you comment guys just freakin' me out...

cool sync.
cool music.
cool design.
However, there is no new thing.

runs perfectly for me .. so fricking smoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth

could be a little shorter otherwise PERFECT

i think many people were disappointed by the fact that this doesn't look or feel like "your usual haujobb demo". the scenes and choice of colors are definitely a new direction, and so is the design (gotta love the "poetry" everywhere :). besides, it feels rather polished.

cons: rather uninspired music and sync at times. still a rulez.

ok

old good Haujobb.
trippy music (yes!). demo too.

Haujobb did a great job in this demo....

...cool sound, great syncing and very cool gfx...

Yap. You are

very cool stuff, i especially like the way everything is cut together!

nice demo.

my pig.

OK one, but nothing to keep in mind

Small thumb.

ok

Hipnotic

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

nice blending ;)
relaxing atmosphere

Oh, from the music I thought the Youtube clip was mangled! Thumb for making me feel the urge to run the real demo.

Agree that the music was repetitious, but it created a mood. My ear couldn't accept the out of sync beats tho. (Strange?)

Upnostril action, some chromed mooseantlers, some nice styling and graphics.

One of the best haujobb's releases.

absolutely cool!

Ok. A bit repetitive and bland effect-wise.

ee

yo

Laidback

Must have missed this one. Very smooth, wholesome music and design/gfx. Overstays it's welcome slightly.. but it's still great

I've seen better, but great soundtrack at least

some nice parts

so turn-of-the-millenia it hurts. but in a pleasant way.

the visuals are great
