I believe this possibly the best tune Ever made in all time???

It makes me go cold everytime!!!

I remember how mindblowing this was back in the time of release. If you ever wanted to convince someone of the Amiga's superiority to the PC - and they WERE so much better until about 1996 - you'd fire this up on an A1200 and watch their eyes widen with shock.

What impresses me, even now, is how this still holds your attention. And the music still sounds pretty wicked - Amiga's always did have great sound custom chips. Real nice analogue quality to them.

Thanks for the upload... memory lane!

@NeedleFactoryTube Wrong. This demo is exactly what it is, a demo.

It is a showcase of skill and mathematics, all hand coded off the top of their heads, none of this drag and drop shite. The epic soundtrack was just a bonus.

@dahDougieBoy yeh thats what l was getting at really. l still use Amiga sounds because even though they were a low bit rate they had a personality of their own. l did so much on my Amiga back in 1993 that l just simply would not have been able to afford anywhere else.

@NeedleFactoryTube I would rate the s1000 a couple of notch higher than the Amiga sound quality wise, but yeah, it was way way over any other computer. Everything else in the same price class said blip blip :)

This demo was basically just a music video and demonstraits the power of Amiga sampling, The Amiga's sampling capability in 1993 was amazing, you would have to spend over £2000 for a Akai s1000 to get the same. This combind with pro tracker produced some of the music that became early UK acid. This is probably why is still use Trackers.

@thetruemetroid Because a banana would look silly!

[lazyeels]

Takes me back, are we all really this old? No one I speak to knows about these good old days. Then, of course, there's the ol' Spectrum PD demo's to trawl through too! So, so good all of them! If these guys are around we should get them to do a long video and album in celebration of their talents!

[sigurdurf]

@thetruemetroid Well, there was another group called Melon Dezign, maybe it is a reference to some rivalry between those two groups?
