One of the best old-school demo I've ever seen on the Amiga 500. Great copper effects, great tune... Watch it! It's worth the few minutes it takes :)

oh my, this one seriously kicks ass :D
A truly must-see demo !
My gawd. Why has this not got more thumbs! The music to this one is fantastical, and the copper effects were (at the time) stunning. One of the all time amiga classics.
woderful! nothing more to say
yeah this one rulez, a bit less than the dragons megademo (-;
The title says it all.
more thumbs!!
Put your sun glasses ! Great !
Corsair Powah! <3
1990 wow!
One of the best Amiga copper prOns ever!
Copper Master Corsair!
Blitter stuff started to rule Amiga world and mighty Copper was nearly forgotten. ;)

Corsair r0x
Excellent!
Music by Moby if I remember correctly...
Indeed a true copper mayhem.
featuring the song "Dragonsfunk" by Moby if I'm not mistaken, which rocks insanely. This was a great demo in general. Anyone knowing what became of Corsair?
;)
copper/blitter master corsair! who are you ?
little video

That's one good copper!
Axel, cyberpingui: Try googling the name Stephane Prophete, might come up with something.
thanx break
Nice one
A very nice copper overdose.
leet new screeny <3
I did not find anything after googling :|

Top class !
faq wheet daddy, my eyes blead!

I still don't understand how vertical raster are done
.. are they just tall sprites being blitted? this is what I get for never having an amiga or c64.
There are many ways, none are "real" rasterbars.
The nearest to "real" rasterbars is to set the bitplane modulo to -40 and show the same line of gfx data all down the screen. By adding new data every line you get kefratraz bars :)
Combined with HAM and overscan you can pretty much do anything vertically you can do with rasterbars, although you can't arbitrarily overlay graphics because you're using the bitplanes to simulate rasterbars. Sprites can of course be abused to hide that fact.
You can combine real rasterbars with the above tricks too, of course.

Oh, and thumb up :)
Ah, thinking of bitplanes, and the data not changing much as the scanning goes down got me in a more rastery frame of mind. Makes more sense now.
Sweet.
crazy stuff.
pure amiga spirit.

Copperbars! Lots of them! :)
found this crazy demo after a long time
stop the madness! :D props for youtube!
Super sweet!!
Awesome.
Oh yes. Damn fine list of releases at that party.
A thing of beauty
Hell yeah.
Great demo, which was one of the inspirations for the STe screen in the Phaleon Demo :)
Initially supposed to be released under the Dragons label.
However, one of the very best Corsair's release.
Foxy! / The Company
(Angels at that time)
Note : It hasn't been released at any party.
Corsair finished it at my place and it took him ages just to sync some visual Fx with Moby's neat soundtrack ..
No minor details for these guys ;)
It was then sent to the rest of Angels team and then spread thru BBS's (you'd say Da WeB now).

One of the best \o
Amazing, freaky, stunning... Corsairs' specific style.
nice music and a good pace of effects!
So many colors!! I love copper effects. And music rulez too!
I loved this back then, I love it now. Still a classic.
Awesome demo! Great work, Moby, especially the slow part in the middle...
This still rules now, great music and great code!
COPPER! MOBY! \:D/
I really don't know what to say because it's very, very good!
Love it or die!
Oh boyz, releasing this demo was definitely one my proudest moments on the Amiga scene (ok, that and the Dragons megademo to be fair).
It took me ages to get some of the visuals right (tweaking the colors until they felt 'right'). And as Foxy mentioned, getting Moby's music in sync with the visuals took forever (how many seconds should each effect be shown in order to achieve the best results, etc...) A lot of attention to details here, believe me.
I remember the whole Dragons crew all spent about a month together in the summer of 1991 and that's when we created this demo. Moby worked on the music (a true masterpiece), I focussed on the code and Mr Video (my older brother) helped with the design.
Some of these visual raster effects had really never been seen before (I think). It was a true mix of old-style copper with new-style blitter generated rasters... Take a look at the last effect (Rasters Mutation). Took me while to get this one right :-) Reading some of the comments, I am glad so many of you liked the final result. Never imagined at the time that I would end up reading all this 20 years later... kind of unreal if you ask me.
Amazing times boyz, I'll tell you that... Ah, being 18 again :-)
ps: btw, somebody asked what I was doing nowadays. Well, on the personal side, for the past 15 years I have been living in the states (moved from Paris, France). Married, 2 boys... On the professional side, I ended up sticking to programming. My Amiga years helped me find something I really enjoyed doing (coding). Got to be thankful for this. So, I am now a professional programmer, working for various large US corporations. And lately, I am 100% focussed on developing for the iPad/iPhone. Fun little devices to program for, I can't complain...
ps2: and, of course, here is the full youtube version

CLASSIC!
Hehe.. Quite Insane Show, Nice Music and good Effects, seems i have missed to thumb that one up so far :D
Great :)
!
Pretty cool effects for the time.
w00t!
simply great
Classic Time!
Beware of copper thieves
beautiful :)
Cringeworthy text-effect-text-effect design, but otherwise ace.
True copper master of its time.
good
Nice one for 1990. Probably one of the better copper demos I've seen.
Colors, copper and a beautiful tune (love the "Tubular Bells" Part)
I for one like the text/effect/text/effect like design (:
(plus, excellent copper effects)
(plus, excellent copper effects)
legendary copper demo!
Wonderful!
Cool music. The rest if an assault of garish gradients.
The master piece of my brother (Corsair) and I, with a legendary music from the talented Moby. The whole design idea was to bring a very dynamic demo with short and various effects. I think we made it as it seems many people really enjoyed this production.
Good old time for young people to create demos such as this one. I can remember the summer holidays with all the Dragons crew near the city of "Le mans" (greetings to Megablast !), before we joined the Angels team. We had so much fun.
I showed the recording of the demo on Youtube to my kids trying to explain them how difficult it was. Now, it is different...
