Kefrens - Desert Dream (part 2)

[SuperShadow]

Hey.... 4:50

WHERE'S THE SECRET PART??

[photonique]

4800 stars

[kikencorp]

This Laxity tune has a bassline obviously inspired by "Silk" Hurley's "Jack Your Body". Not a bad thing at all, but I am surprised it has never been mentioned.

[leatwix]

"The meaning of life is to become a legend."

- profound, so true.

This video was absolutely awesome in the day. This is the kind of thing which Anonymous and LulzSec should be doing, showing off their talents in a creative way. DDoS attacks are childish, let's see them make the Desert Dream for modern times, if they have the skills. I doubt it.

[Anyamar666]

one of the best demos i seen so far back in time.... 11of10

[heinek76]

It reminds me about that the new coders needs to wake up

[Floppendisk]

MOM: Hey....where are your going?

ME: Out to kill two idiots?

MOM: Take care of you!

ME: Don't mind...I got 90 people with me!

[EdgeOfPanic]

Epic demo with epic music! played it over and over again on my A500 back in the day.

[surfitlive]

The ending credits states;

"The Meaning of Life is to become a LEGEND"

Those were prophetic words back then, because this demo is A LEGEND!!

Like the computer it was made on/for......(tear in eye.....)

[Gigageilomat]

LOL ? amiga? WOW °!°



[knortz251]

! !!! GIGANTIC !!!!

!!! AMIGA 4 EVER !!!!!

[knortz251]

OMG !! ORGASM !!!!

[Seiding]

This demo still makes me proud after so many years.....i was properly one of the layziest members of Kefrens....together with Zeus ;-).but we had a great time...and i will always remember the fun we had. Laxity, R.W.O, Zeus, Airwalk, Hawkeye, and all the others.

[elhermanos]

see c64 version of "Desert Dream" too. C64 rules!

[Jazzsteppa]

This is the demo that will always come to mind when I think Amiga. I hate to use the word "classic" as it's a word that gets bounded around far too quickly and freely these days, but, it is what it is: A true classic. The visual cues with the music just blew me away at the time, and I remember the end - with it's Tibetan monk vocal and throbbing razor synth pulse - would loop so I used to leave it running while I studied. Haha... fucking top buzz.

[DrSanchez666]

Best demo ever§§§

[NerdBirdBeaker]

350MB eh. I miss the Amiga era.

Figure; this demo runs over 12 minutes, fits on two LOW density floppies (880k) and is simply amazing. You just don't see that kind of tight code any more.

[afxgroup]

the best amiga demo ever (for me...)

fantastic soundtrack..

[razors78]

I have the Original Video in superior quality in all aspects & it's a whopping 350MEG :-)

Nuff said!

[Snowwie888]

I still have it working on two DD floppy disks on my Amiga 2000. YouTube doesn't do any justice to this demo, which is MUSTVIEW on a real Amiga. Especially the part with '1,2,3, 12.000 dots'

[turbolenza35]

The soundtrack is brillant... !!

[Thunderblade64]

too many video artefacts

[dazman76]

Yep, the youtube compression really kills the 2nd part. Download an emulator and the real deal, it's great to see it again in full quality :)

[jagfan84]

Still love it. Reminds us how far graphics have come in 15 years - but even despite that, this demo has a hypnotic quality to it because of the inspiration the coders had. And that soundtrack... really sounds good. More contagious than most, even compared with the improved fidelity of today's soundcards.

[VideyoJunkei]

I have this on disk somewhere...you tube compression really kills it, though!

[sikkepossu]

Exactly. It's a pity this is not available in high quality.

[cheesyman1]

lol fellnuts told me to watch this

[magmalinux1]

It's the first demo i have show with my

Amiga 1200

[gqr2000]

Found this song as .mod format when I started using fasttracker, impulse tracker for pc in the mid 90's. This song has been haunting me for decades, awesome song, laxity is awesome, the amiga was ahead of its time.

[leetha28]

The whole party was in awe when this was shown at TG93, too bad there arn't such parties anymore

[germdisco]

demoparties still exist.

[kendow11]

you have no idea. demo parties are bigger than ever.

[BurtWilson1]

/ \ O "Cool"

[BurtWilson1]

:¬D

[BurtWilson1]

Second half music is excellent. :D

[themeanstar]

Greatest experience ever when it had been shown on the big screen at Saturne Demoparty 94 in France. I was there! Peoples got crazy because, back in those days, Desert Dream was a hell of a demo. Laxity was both the coder and the musician and we got very surprised by the result! Very impressive thing.

[Gamewitzer]

I kinda envy you :)

[Awake1077]

Amiga 4-Ever:)

[Demonfreak76]

Hardly to imagine this stuff is more than 14 years old now!!

[Demonfreak76]

The real one... ;)

[ergine]

one of the greatest

[tomkrist]

Awesome:)
