good prod, with some rather nice code for such a prod.
The end scroller even features a space cut cube. AFAIR it is the first Atari prod with this effect.

Was the best democlip ever on Ataris. Best music/effect mixture in such a style.
Although its rather cool, its not a demo that makes me want to watch again and again. Perhaps its to intense.

Wow, this wasn't already on Pouet??? :O
The best music-synch demo on Atari indeed, with fast STe code.

p01: true, my comment was somewhat rude. It's technically good but it's STE and late 1992, so I find it less impressive than what Omega released before ;)
That space cut cube was nice indeed.

my fave demo for a very long time!! obviously inspired by amiga techno demos. but this one is really well done with -loads- of 1 plane animations and 50 fps polys flying over the screen. also love the way they used front242's "punish your machine".
there's also a falcon version in which some bigger objects are shown at the end.

what a demo! the first one in this style I think..
Grotesque once a day make your STe happy!
good code, horrific colours.
Great Front 242 demo!
Excellent! I still remember that weekend. I was the organizer of the party (in Lidköping, Sweden).
I didn't thumb this yet?! OMFG! It's a classic! This one totally and utterly RULEZZZZZ :-)
Nice
Ran this a few hundred times. An STE classic. Rocks!
btw, i recently checked the XOPE poly rout (as used in this one) and must stress the quality.. they seem to sacrifice a little accuracy to blit more pixels at once. can anyone verify this?
on a sidenote, there is also a TT version of the polyrout (not blitter) but this is quite bad. of course, that machine was really alot faster than an STe, so they didn't have to optimise.

Not a bad demo but I don't really like it. I didn't like LSD's Jesus on E's either. :) And I couldn't find the mentioned space-cut cube in the end part, emulator issue?
StingRay: you just have to wait a while during the endscroll, I think the spacecut cube was the third or fourth object
Oh, and the demo is nice :)

Stingray: no... there are two different versions I think... party and final...
very nice one =)
Sorry for the OK vote, but I can not find any way to post a comment without voting on my own prod...
earx: The poly routine was coded based on the theory that by filling the polygons in a column based order instead of a line based order, there would be a maximum of 20 columns to handle instead of 200 lines... Less number of fill loops that is.
I did however mess up the init of the polygon drawing, due to lack of knowledge. If I would rewrite the routine today, I belive that it would be possible to shave of some 20-30% cpu time for each polygon...

242 RULES!!!
hildenborg: ah, i guess that column based thing saves significant time on blitter as the inits are by far the most costly thing. but the top/bottom of the columns might still be hard?
good one for the STE
Just for the tune... Front rules anyway - and may rule Alternative Party for sure... Too bad I can´t be there... :(
Cool techno demo.
Nice. However I still cannot get use to searching a half of a day for proper desktop resolution (I mean the Falcon).

One the best STe demo. Very good concept and excellent code (and not to forget the graphics : the intro logo totally rocks).
Loved this demo when it was released. Had very high expectations, it being an Omega production, and I was not disappointed!
watched this on a mega ste yesterday. worked quite well allthough its really not for epileptics ;)

My god. The picture!! (Screenshot) Love it!

Nice saw this on BrandonWalsh/GPs test twitch streaming :D
Didn't care so much for it back in the day, but now it seems to have grown on me.
Missing the good old times, fucking nice demo btw! 
I remember reading about this demo in Swedish mag SHN where it received a write-up but didn't have the chance to see it then. Really cool and probably the start of something new in the ST scene, even though the design as such may seem a bit dated.
loved watching it back then. still nice.
nice STe release
I should have thumbed this one up before! Kick ass demo!
...I got the STe version working in Hatari but not the Falcon version :/
yes
This demo just rules forever!
quite ok
great flow!
Oldschool 90s!
for the propper sound!
