what a strange demo ! it's a kind of psychedelic-trip, all the effects are weird but really good, and the music (by Loonie) fit perfectly with the demo.

stare at the centrum and focus on the music. do not look at anything else but the center of the screen. do not think about what is going on. just stare. maybe you will realize what it means by the 5th time you play it.
Does the title Tao has to do somethinng with Taoism, Budhism, some other Eastern Religion?
From the gfx, the atmosphere or the music that's how I understand it..
I liked it! I liked this atmosphere. And the lot'sa bitmap effects with this psychedelic colours too!
I may watch this demo again..

Very trippy, excellent psychedelic effects ... so 70s but as always with zden, it's all tightly packed in a coherent way. Just let your mind expand the abbreviations this demos displays in front of you..
I will check it agian
great music!
Fucking AWESOME. Blew my mind at TP98, I recall it didn't get as high a rating in the results it actually deserved. Recommended for people who have a neat sofa to realx on while it's running. Do not hesitiate to loop it.
Full of colours, esoteric, mystic, flashy flows and hypnotic music. Cool stuff. Btw, the voice sample also appears in a rammstein track, I believe.
huge tarrific demo
I really love this one
Great demo which creates a nice atmosphere.
Absolutely amazing. Not only is the music interesting enough to make a pure flyby engaging, the effects are cool, and there were even some I've never seen before! (but it doesn't work on XP... :-( Any suggestions?)
definitely underrated
Used to watch this a lot with my stoner friends ;)
One of the best demos ever, with killer soundtrack!
beauty in motion!!!
excellent visuals, splendid soundtrack and great experience :D
excellent effects brutally synced to an excellent soundtrack == highly underrated masterpiece!
This is so fucking great. Great code + synching! Really underrated.
Nice one! That last effect is marvelous
Download my "32 bits fixed version" people and enjoy this beauty in full color depth if your card doesn't support 24bpp. Just start tao32.exe.
wow! a large amount of beautiful effects
clearly ahead of it's time.
Rocks!
wow, had never seen this one before. really nice for 98.
nice effects-blendshow! good use of synching.
Cool, a good 1998 style demo :D

Trippy
The intro is fantastic - really setting a good atmosphere.
Sadly, the what comes next lets it down heavily. Loads of recycling effects and the music doesn't seem to progress - it's all like a record that keeps playing the same groove over and over again.

great effects, tunnels and kaleidoskopes, heightfields, spirals, breakbeat trance music
truly a great demo
feels very dated.
nice trip
a masterpiece of building up the atmosphere...
yyyyyk
Rocks...
awesome trip :)
seems I like the early Satori stuff more. this is great.
A classic and like some people already said, ahead of its time. One of the effects still make me wonder how it might be done. :D
My thumb!
Didn't I?
Nice
this . was . great !!
arrived home, completely drunk, connected to pouet (yeah), and wow, this was the best demo-experience in a long time. how the hell did i miss this one all this time? wonderfully wonderful!

trip! :)
awesome, and didgeridoo <3
how did i miss this one? very nice. love some of the effects to an extent where i'd consider ripping them for use 12 years later :)
nice one
Absolutely _LOVE_ the effects. The track fits suprisingly well to them.
Oh my! No cheesy 3D objects, just plain awesome 2D wizardry - this needs a Glöp O_o;
Hellish eyecandy!
This demo doesn't show mercy: the watcher is in Satori's world of mystic orientalism, and it's better just deal with it. Excellent soundtrack.
underrated
and that music!!!
and that music!!!
definitive
Still love this one. Pretty much perfect, if you ask me...
great psycheelic trip with good music. impressed me a lot (as other satori prods ;)
As was said, quite ahead of its time. Still very enjoyable.
Nice stuff
very hypnotic in any way.
wow.. low-res, SW rendered, but looks like many current shadertoy masterpieces connected together in great style. I love it.
Great Soundtrack, effects and sync inbetween. No words suffice. <3
I still played with Barbies when you already did such amazing trips :D
one of the best, you should use these colors more :)

I'm impressed by the concept, beauty and harmony. It's excellent.
Exceptional in every way. Great music, good colors and creative effects that blend together nicely.
I was sure i thumbed this one already. Obviously i didn't.
I think I thumbed this in a dream. Now I thumb up this again fully awake.
