OH----------->MY----------->GOSH !!
Just as good as "a deepness in the sky" by mfx.

great ambient!
where's the demo?
Its atmospheric. and its a great scene. But more needs to happen.
love it
Refreshing ... nice music and lovely atmosphere ...
slow and simple maybe, but sweet

bizzzzzarrrrrrre
Great effect for a demo introduction, but where is the rest? =8-)
It just deserves a rulez for the marvellous atmosphere created.

Flatshading + the already overused fake-glow filter (aka render to smaller texture and blend it over). Really nothing exciting about this one.
i liked the whole object creation.
but the two last minutes failed.
nothing comparable to the first byzantine.
still a very pleasant view..

I don't think I watched it as it should. Nothing like in the screenshot above. Probably just the fake glow texture, no defined objects whatsoever.
Athlon XP1700+, GF4Ti4600, ForceWare 52.16, DX9

Not my cup of tea
uargh. the music is nice, but the butt-ugly blur (just using automatic mipmap generation and upsampling is NOT a good way to do a filter!) and artifacts/shadows everywhere at the edges of the screen totally ruined the visual experience for me.
ryg: shut up coder =)
anyway... the whole demo is basically put together with some chewing gum and glue. (the executable was compiled well over a year ago, the glow effect was done with a script system and the coder has no interest whatsoever with making demos with it, especially if they're like this) also "small" artifacts shouldn't affect how good or bad a demo is. though if you forget those the demo still sucks.

Zzzzzz
Yeah, more needs to happen, but it's still creepy cool.
great music sync
kind of very massive. somehow loses the serious feeling somewhere during the time. you should believe more in what you do.
I'll join raimo on this one.
quite boring
The atmosphere set by the music saves me from thumbing this down. If this was shorted to about 30 seconds, it would be a great intro for a demo.. but it gets too boring just watching the same thing go on and on. Might hold some extra interest if your under the influence.
when did additive blending go out of style? :)
i'm not thumbing this down cos i <3 jobe!
Reminds me of Kosmoplovci, but Kosmoplovci is usually good. The music is quite good, but still...
really really good! looks like chimera by halcyon has a more nervous little brother!
it completely fails to achieve it's goal :)
pretty cool at times, but "more needs to happen" as others have said
Booooriing.. didn't really get the point of random plotted boxes.
A word from the musician: the camera could use some valium. Kinda hurts the spacious atmosphere when you're flying around at that pace :)
boxes... revolutionary
Agreed with jobe that camera movements are too fast, but still I like the atmosphere and the music.
agreed with plek but the great soundtrack and somewhat chimeraish visuals make this a piggie.
Nice atmosphere, but very boring after the first minute... As many said, where's the rest of the demo?
:( =
glitches/artifacts
no evolution in the visuals thru the demo
\:D/ =
nice music
nice atmosphere
overall, THIS is how chimera should be done.

ok, how many cubes are there ? (that's the only thing that can interest me here)
I don't usually like simplistic demos, but this one was nice.
A great atmosphere, thanks to the powerful audio and the first minute. After that it gradually becomes disturbing. It is boring at the end whereas chimera by halcyon is boring in the beginning.
My thumb would go straight up if it had something imaginative as a climax.

barely gets a piggy because the music is quite good...
but what about that random boxes thingy. i was always waiting for some "breakthru" to appear, but nothing happened. just more boxes. how boring

i just realised it lacked something in the end, a surprising conclusion that could makes all sense to the rest. how about something like the very last part of kkowboy by purple, all the polys sliding horizontally and vertically to make a word?
I'm not sure what kind of delicious, mind-altering drugs you're on, but the last time I checked, 'k' isn't a word. ;)
ugly colours I see and utter boredom potential, way to go
Bored me to death, but imo doesn't deserve a thumb down
thumbs for the soundtrack and for the way the 3d is done :)
Beautiful. Extreame mzx. Got me thinking what the visual represented... the creatiion of a mind? The fabric of the universe (building blocks)?
Simple, and boring some would say... But it has an atmosphere

yes. some moments of super great
yeaaah!! definately trippin!
Chimera an Byzantium b2 are my favourite ambient demos.
good work!!!.
good work!!!.
I think this is one of the best unique prod.
Beautiful music, but the visuals are too dim and boring.
Hohum, where's the rest?
Honestly, one semi-interesting effect plastered on for 5 minutes straight with an ambient tune doesn't really cut it for me.
It would be pretty great if more actually *happened* =)

good music, poor visuals
gets a bit carried away at the end. pig for you
Simplistic, but the soundtrack is hypnotic.
Ambient noise!
