One of my favourite demo, and my favourite from Halcyon.
A really original and well done demo with a smashing "hard techno" song.

added on the 2000-09-09 16:25:41 by rez

powerfull techno beats and amazingly fast code.
powerfull halcyon. simply rules.

added on the 2000-09-09 22:55:35 by psenough

jormas+halcyon masterpiece! great design, jeea. tekkno beats! :D

added on the 2000-09-11 01:33:56 by lau

Good music, creative idea, Should see in a big screen!

added on the 2000-09-18 08:51:37 by w0N6F3iHuN6

Still play it from time to time. It's a perfect blend: cool visuals (not amazingly advanced, but to the point) and merciless techno to boot!

cdc added on the 2000-11-01 18:08:52 by Shifter

great design, nice effects, appears totally clean and stylish. i expected nothing different from halcyon. they rule.

added on the 2000-11-20 04:22:36 by PigPen

It's such a cool demå. I just love the way the music and visuals merge.

added on the 2001-03-06 08:29:08 by flow

Yes! Cool Jormas techno music (like in their best days on A500 :), perfect Halcyon code (innovative effects, fakes AND high frame rates.. what do you want more) and overall a lot of fun when you stand in front of the bigscreen and imitate the cow and the old, uh, "lady" with the handbag whie watching this... a must-see!

added on the 2001-03-06 20:19:09 by kb_

You know this is my favoritest demo from Halcyon?!

Abstract/Experimental stuff I usually couldn't understand,.. but Halcyon doesn't mime, they know what they do and they do it very well!

added on the 2001-03-08 14:31:02 by Optimus

that hardcore track by the guys in da Jormas absolutely rocks! the demo features some extremely great synchronization with the soundtrack... awwwwwwww!! pump up the volume! :)

rulez added on the 2001-06-05 01:14:44 by fractalgp $fractalgp$

Really cool rave demo ! Actually as this is a cooperation between Halycon and Da Jormas (music), I think it should appear in the prod information...

the proof that 4 channel mods can rock like hell! even nowadays.

added on the 2001-09-26 11:48:31 by rp

Ermmm, am I the only one, who thinks that the music is kinda... monotonous and a little bit annoying?

However, the demo has its good points. A portion of mindfuck style known from mfx and satori productions, plus a certain ambient feeling. Great!

rulez added on the 2001-09-26 12:59:36 by tomaes

this is just one of those demos that will rule even 10 years after it's release.
some just have it.

added on the 2001-11-08 03:29:08 by hempest

Well designed demo that has nice effects and flows nice :)
The best prod from Halcyon.

(By the way, Tomaes, nope, that's exactly how good techno should be :)

jRM >> thumbs up

rulez added on the 2002-04-11 01:11:26 by dalezr

rjv: According to the partyversion's infofile, it wasn't shown because the ASM orgas thought it was too much a "ravedemo" and contained "too much animation".

Bad move I guess, this would have placed in the first 3 easily...

added on the 2002-04-11 12:14:11 by Gargaj

okok so someone educate my mainstream newschool ass on this. why is this so fucking good? i see:
- ok visuals
- badly mixed and somewhat disappointing techno music
- ok musicsync (probably good musicsync compared to scene-average, but still nothing amazing imo)
- some nice effects
- lots of stuff that i've seen 174x before already.

all in all quite a nice demo, definately worth watching every once in a while. but not particularly god's gift to mankind, imo.

i must admit that i'm bad at separating good code from bad code, and also at placing a demo in its time (saw this first about a year ago). but still, i'm not amazed, just averagely entertained (and i do like technodemos).

so. someone enlighten me.

added on the 2002-04-17 12:42:55 by skrebbel

this is just very fucking cool.

'waiting desperatly for a win32 port (was unable to see this demo for now 5 years)

rulez added on the 2003-02-16 11:23:54 by neurox

it won't happen, the source has been lost according to the coder (and it was 100% asm, a real pain to port).

Smooth code and powerful beat. Halcyon!

rulez added on the 2005-05-30 19:33:12 by bdk

I remembered this as being alright, not great. But on rewatching, most of it is, indeed, great. A few less great parts, but the start especially rules.

rulez added on the 2005-06-20 22:34:32 by psonice

simply ruling co-op

rulez added on the 2005-07-13 13:28:42 by fxmj4598fj4598fj

As much as I like halcyon style (and certainly love some of their demos , as well) I completely dislike this one. Too chaotic, monotonic and stuff.. But, taking into account that it's somewhat a classic, and kinda alternative too, i decided to grant it a pig. whatever.

added on the 2005-07-13 22:03:27 by kbi

Amazing demo! Totally cool code, amazing style. Great "come back" from a group that had been quiet for a while. Blitz blitz blitz!
