Really nice Traction style, would be more cool if you make a 64kb version.

I agree with Gargaj, excellent transition.
i thought the demo was great until i saw the last part. that's just way too excellent!! it's the best cube demo ever made.
Once again Traction is showing what they are all about. Can't say more than this production is totally in my taste! Nice work guys.
top!
video, linux port, etc.
was thinking to myself "when will traction get some graphicians doing something for them?" while watching this. and well.. nice answer to close the demo :)
Jesus fucking flying christ. that's fucked up, even beyond the fuck itself, i felt in love once again (truely). Please, please, please AGAIN!
hmm, ah yeah, what ps said :)
I could help, if needed, even if i'm teh irokos from teh hated titan whatever, eh :)

Nice effects & code. Really seeing that you guys now keep more eyes in the effect transiotions just rules.
great cube fx.
and great soundtrack.
nice flow.
but, this prod should do in 64kintro.
anyway nice demo.

a nice demo indeed. has more of that warm and fuzzy oldscool feeling that that dreaded old's cool... that finishing picture was a little 'wtf', but quite fitting too.
2^5 is still your undoubted masterpiece though. 8)

I think this is the best Traction demo so far, but that end picture just doesn't fit... =)
damn can't see it with my loosing gfx-card.
A vid would be cool :-)

OMFG :)
I've enjoyed your previous productions, but this one still surprised me. REALLY good job here.
Well it's in a similar style like their previous few demos but I still like it. Traction found their specific style but please don't get stuck there ;)
cool demo. endpic and its ´calculation´ - simply brill!
top drawer stuff - from a cupboard labelled "same old shit".
for sure awardable :)
incredible piece of art
thanks guys

not one of tractions best but some very nice parts and an excellent ending
there you go
thumb up for the gay colors :P
im with smash, same old same old.
nice
Very nice. Great design, I love this.
video?
Wow...fucking wow!!
I've never been a big fan of the Traction style and when I saw those wireframes at the beginning I expected another cliche Tron demo. But I was very pleasantly surprised. The effects were very innovative and looked beautiful. And the end pic by Bridgeclaw was such a treat!!
And for the first time in a Traction demo, I thought the music was outstanding!!!

mhhhhmn!
Standard Traction. I love the girl at the end.
Hey, that's a bit more enjoyfull demo than other traction prods. We have similar minimalistic elements here, but with a quite nicer music and some great transitions and effects, plus the final Bridgeclaw image. I hope Traction goes towards that way of more enjoyfull demos.
Traction <3
nice music and cubes... :)
As cheesy as cubes can get, but thumbups for the music and for some of the ideas...
cubes!
what dixan said, but then more enthousiastically.
The best same-old-shit from Traction in a while, imho.
What I said at Stream.
preacher told me there wouldn't be any lines in this one.
preacher lied to me.

Yeah really enjoyable one!! Nice cubes!! and aehhm nice cubes!! Killer Pic from Bridgeclaw!
the best Traction so far =)
the music and the final masterpic make it a full cult demo ! it looks like it is *the* declaration of love to demo art !

smooth. music rocks, but gfx get a bit boring after a while.
I'm with break.
Though I want to add that it kind of scares me that so many people compliment this demo on its end part when it was just one nice design idea... Is the scene really THAT dead that one simple good-old-amiga-93-style transition manages to stir up you so much? Scary.

Impressive! Traction quality.. Great as always!!
Really nice zik and some cool looking FXs. Overall a quite chilling mood.
And yes, nowadays demos lack of static GFX art.

Enjoyable and pretty visuals connected to a good music with perfect sync makes this an excellent demo! Good work!
got cube?
nice.
piggy though.

Great visuals, great music. The best one from Traction (this far..) congrats ppl.
really nice. not my fav traction prod (i still love 'traction' by traction), but still much better than most of the usual 'demostyle' traction demos.
Video (it seems a bit choppy on my work laptop but it may just be that it's crappy..)
Traction makes sex feel good!
Though I think the last image does _not_ fit into the whole demo.

I always like traction's demos and wait for their next release.
Nice stuff, not my favourite traction prod either, but it's definately good and the pic is great. Maybe the tune let it down slightly.. not a bad tune, but not superb.
oh yes!
well ...nice as usuall ( so polished and well done ) : What else can you expect from traction :)
Maybe tou should try something different sometimes in the future.

good! yep imo too last image doesn't fit to design, but it looks so good i don't care about the design fact :)
Cubism? Boxology? Whatever it's called Preacher has a master's degree in it ;-)
And what a fantastic picture by BridgeClaw.

Excellent!
I'm getting an constant error about some frame buffer not found, Plus updated video card but did mot help.
The soundtrack and the picture make it a thumbs up from me.
o.O
I never expected cubes to look that good. Only downside is the filesize regarding that there is not that much incompressible content...
se naisenpää kuva ko olin nähnyt sen aikasemminki jo ei ollut niin "jee" enää paitsi oli se ihan hyvin tehty mut muuten tosi hyvää traction laatuu ja musa... preacher sun pitäis liittää toi venäläinen muusikko tractioniin ;)
That's because we forgot some textures in the pakfile ;) Sorry about that.
Hrm. You can't really go wrong with glowing, neon-colored cubes these days, can you? I've only watched this without audio at work, so I can really only comment on the visuals. The final, much-hailed transition is actually quite poorly executed (the particle version of the pic looks a lot worse than it would need to, and fading it out before showing the real one defeats the purpouse somewhat), and much of the overall concept bears a strikingly nontrivial resemblance to this little beauty.
Piggy for now.

wow!!! a really good production!!
very nice - I'd say you need to add a couple of cubes though...
Some recyclated ideas and scenes form previous traction demos. A coders demo, no design, no backgrounds....

Really quite average demo without diversity. Design is boring, nice colours though. Music starts fine, but it becomes boring as well. Nice end pic.
Really nice sequel. But I think that there won't be a third part, because of exploding red cube. Maybe this is a suggestion that the Traction style will change in their next production :).
To bad I read about the ending before I watched the demo. So there was no surprise for me. Anyway a very solid demo.
I love Traction style! :)
wow that's cool! nice one!
smooth sound, smooth looks. like it.
Congrats guys, this one was simple and nice!
look simple yet very nice
this is one of favourite demos ever. i really, really love this. great work preach et al :)
Cubes, cubes, cubes, everywhere...
Very cool

lovely demo. nothing like good ole nice flow and consistency. I don't know if the pic at the end fit, but who cares when it looks great? :)
cool
beautiful
Nice demo, too bad it uses retouched fashion magazine picture in the end.
The (unexpected) picture at the end combined with the exploding/dissolving cubes does the trick!
Nice envmapping, makes the cubes more "diamondish".

ps. can you provide a soundtrack in mp3/ogg format?

thx! (^_^)
So... I guess I don't get it. A bunch of particle effects where particles are replaced by growing and shrinking rotating cubes? And another 3D plasma like in Ante Dominum, and a mellow pop soundtrack, and it gets a Coup de Coeur? Haven't we already seen this demo before, maybe minus a few cubes?
...on the other hand, someone has also CDC'd fr-038: theta; which I think is similarly inspired...
I would thumb this down except I know I'd be doing it primarily because this is overrated, and in all fairness it's not bad... it's just... average

Pretty, but if I hear that snare sample used one more time I will personally see to it that the responsible musician gets stabbed in the ear.
Also, it froze my machine on exit, but lots of demos do that so I blame my setup.

Very pretty and relaxing. Love those shiny boxes!!
Verri nize.
It's O.K. but not special. Music remembered me the good old amiga times. :)
normally I'd say I hate you for using hardware 3D. But you used it how it should be used - and better. Well done, belongs in the all-time top.
snif, beautiful, makes me cry :')

very smooth and nice - why use dots when you can use oodles of cubes instead? i find the name 'onwards' strangely ironic though. :)

i'll be fair and give it a piggy only so we cannot be accused of self-voting because Bridgeclaw is in our group, but HOT DAMN, this is probably one of my top 3 favourite Traction demos ever... Great style, great positive mood and energy, and a great tune by Zeebr. I think it's an awesome sequel to "Insert Coins". Great job, guys.
I suppose none of you saw demos before the millleniuim bug was over, because is genuinely the same old hat.

To conclude, people need to tone the fuck down. This is not that special, color has been invented already, everything in there has been done to much chagrin to you when it wasn't Traction. Settle down.

A thumb up for the well made soundtrack.
How come I need to have ext. framebuffer since 2^5...and now this?
Are they so different inside compared to ..say Amethyst ?

Same old i guess, but still nice
This was oldskool and nuskool in a same package. Very moody, indeed. I liked it much more now when I looked it at home than at the party.
great lighting. freaking awesome 2d cubes. but too much like iterate for me to thumb
Classy visuals and luvverly mellow soundtrack. I like!
Really nice! me likey like!
Nice demo, but not all that great. The MFX demos at Stream had more interesting effects by my taste...but nice prod indeed.
WOW!
"This was oldskool and nuskool in a same package." - defacto! a must see!

traction.... not amazing
That's style ... What else ! :)
Replay 2.0 (yes, I repeat myself).
Still, wonderful, but these guys must be careful. Ten more of this style and people REALLY start to hate it. ;)

Yes it is good.
really good
too 'happy' for me... shiny colors, cubes, mellow music, cubes, cubes, more cubes. nothing special. althought the ending is nice.
smooth'n'nice
I like especially the feeling of this demo. And the smoothness. It's really relaxing and pleasant to watch. One of the best. Hellos to mr. Traction. I'm coding again, btw.
quite vain
Cube particles are nice. Tight music.
yuck!

dude i watched this about 3 days ago and i've had the song stuck in my head the whole time
awesome!!
awesome!!
Very stylish.
yep, very good. also my cousin liked too... ;-)
Nice music, nice effects, nice graphics, nice design, dreamy, and with a bit of originality :). Technically, this demo is not *awesome*, but it has this little thing that turn it into a very pleasant demo, a demo which make me think/feel/dream, and that I want to watch again and again...
Well, I like it very much, gratz traction !

great!
nice overall design and cool tune
there are plenty of better demoz than this one in the demoscene, please open your eyes, the whistle sound seems to come from the 70's !!!!! ok it's nice, but to put a CDC on it, you must be mad (O_o)
Top stuff!
Very nice! Not a technical breakthrough, but sometimes this is just the ticket for a really enjoyable demo. Very pleasant to watch and listen to!
Very nice ...great work :)
clean and simple, enjoyable... nice pic at the end, fits the mood perfect.

just wonderful
be autifull
its full of cubes!
haven't commented... this is beautiful. period.
This one had its share of nice gay design. Good work. Here is a late thumb :)
i was expecting something boring
bland visuals and cheesy music.
as all other tumb uppers says :)
ok, but still thumb worthy
CUBES!
What Gargaj said....
great
Awesome <3
I liek this soooo much <3
Boxology! \o/
really great flow from start to finish - starting with wireframe and ending with a nice picture. also really well paced transitions
my fav demo of 2006 -> huge thumb up!
This is deeply beautiful.
I have loved the soundtrack from the first time I heard it :). Lovable!
excellent demo.
Amazing. Simple, yet beautiful graphics, very nice tune. Thank you.
really great demo, everything flows smoothly, great tune : thumb up !
the music rulez big time!!
same old, same old, but well, it's still very beautiful :)
yes it is
I think this is near perfect.
No overwhelming killer effects here, but it nails what it aims. Nice visuals, nice mood, clean synchro... Only the end is a bit odd, with that unexpected artwork.
I'll surely watch this again.

this demo has a remarkable flow. the music and the visuals fit very well.
Very nice demo and music, only the colours let it down a bit.
4 years later, I still love it.

I love Traction a fucking lot, this one is just too amazing to even exist - that whisteling tune, and damn fine visuals - MWOAR MWOAR <3
In my evergreen list, and will always stay there <3

Very good music......!
Pretty amazing how one can make a stylistically strong demo with cubes alone. :)
soundtrack link broken :(

\o/ :D
Despite being a traditional demostyle track, zeebr's music is very good and made this demo quite special. The visuals were pretty and the flow worked, probably because of the thoughtful transitions. I think this would've been better if the cubes were replaced with mere point sprites, though!
made me feel good again today
