Ok, but too ordinary for a MFX prod. Also I didn't like the ending.

easily best demo of the year. just so not - a - demo - but something real.
A plain beautiful demo. This is something that could be shown on clubs, raves or live vj sets without being ashamed of anything.
Slowly pulsating and emerging visual combined to hypnotic soundtrack creates such mood that only few demos can reach.
And like good wines, this demo gets better with time and I just love it more and more every time I see it. Thank you, MFX.

god mode.
where's the linux version! ;)
clean, long, professional, evolving demo..
it's very beautiful and has a clever way of using blending with nice textures to create visuals.
damn, once again "a different mfx demo" :)
it'll for sure become a classic.

it works under wine/linux
though with several audio glitches..

this one is really beautiful and it looked awesome on the big screen. also very fast and smooth. maybe a bit boring though
Self voting sucks. too bad...
okayish demo, too demanding for my poor old gf2 :-D
Macaw: you seem to have the same gf2 model as melwyn? i tested the demo with a shitload of different cards and it ran very smoothly on everything else except on that particular model of gf2 (It was even slower than on my voodoo3<g>).
a bit more variation wouldn't be bad.
nice mood though

beautiful!!
Looks nice, but it's a bit too repetitive..
Too long and too monotonous, sorry. Cut it down to three minutes and it would rock :-)
ravedemolightshow. Finally a good mfx windows demo.
I couldn't really "get it" on the screen (dead tired = probably not the best condition for this one). However, just watched it again, and it is quite cool indeed.
cool mfx!
i like the colors, i like the style, the design, the visuals.. but its simply a bit too long imho. would've been great to see on a bigscreen during some rave, but not to watch from the comfort of your own chair :)
pretty, but a bit boring
a fucking nasty one - this is the kind of things that makes you feel comfortable with death. mfx rules.
Very... conventional for mfx! Also, rather long. However it's very well designed and the music rocks.
a typical rave demo. a bit like "medium" by einklang.net. yes, it´s different. but it´s also same. two, three effects, good syncro with the music. Well, and the music is typical rave style. I think in the future VJ-Technics and Demo Artwork will come closer together. I don´t know if i´m happy about that. because i don´t like the dance nation. there are just fans. and at a demo scene party there are also fans, but most sceners are activ and working on scene production. and do not dance ;). The future is near. we will see.
Interesting looking stuff. From the effects not so entertaining like 'Medium' or the MFX demo 'Within Minutes' (this one is at least much more a rave demo for me). But nice anyway :)
A well built lightshow, plain and simple.
i would love this on acid! :D
a little more variation wouldn't have probably hurt, but it rules

crest, erhm... so where did within minutes have any effects at all? ;)
Very nice!
a bit boring, but look good !
btw. good blending :)

thx guyes !!
i need more like this.

impressive
very cool and hypnotic show
This absolutely rocked, thank you mfx :)
melw: Maybe not real effects, but within minutes fitted the 'theme' rave demo very well
i wish it was longer!
gets a bit boring before it ends but very nicely done. pusi pusi mfx pojkar
At the partyplace I thought this was a bit boring, but now when I watched it at home it's not boring at all, it's awesome!
Cool effects and great music.

phat buds for mfx!
Hm....it's okay.
It has some brilliant textures and oozes atmospre allright, but it still reeks of the "randomly toggle a bunch of sprites and 2D effects and see what comes out" thing.

Wow, all these thumbs ups. What's wrong with me?? I sure didn't like this. Just a bunch of textures moving about. And far far too long. No more than 30 seconds would've been enough for silly ol' me.

THIS is fokin' massive!!!!!
beautyfull, abstract and hypnotic...
A must see!!

ÆM_ÆF_ÆX!
less text and more visuals like it's see in this demo is what we need these days .. congrats for this one.
not perfect... but its stil really great
This was so hypnotic that I fell asleep.
I like the design in this demo (and the soundtrack sounds cool too), but it's just too damn long for my attention span.
If it had been ½ the length it would have been great instead of just good. Still deserves a rulez, though.

Helluva Demo! You sure know how to make me happy.

mfx still r0x0r my underpants.
Incredibly cool! When Droid showed me this one at Solskogen I was amazed! (and watching it sober 24h later didn't change my impression of it...)
rulez!
greet aardbei next time tho:)

a very impressive killer-show...
neat effects, but too long. the repeative style would work better at raves etc, like melw already stated above
i like you.
good
this one's a keeper
Rather a Winamp vis instead of a demo, but still, has some feeling within it.
One of the top 3 demos this year.. a bit long, but when you turn volume up to 11 and watch this baby in a dark room, it really works!
oh yes me like
really beautiful visuals, good tune. yes, a bit long and repetitious, but that depends on how and where you watch it.
super
good stuff. beautiful, and good music.
yes. it is repetitious, and tends to get boring after a while...

I already saw this when it was released. At that time I had some mixed feelings about it.
Now, I just watched it again (for fifth time or so) yesterday, and I must say that this is a demo that grows on me, it gets better each time I watch it. The visuals are nice and they match to the cool soundtrack.

Move Over Pacasso!! This is an Addicting Demo for Sure Very Precise and Synchronized to the very second with it's awesum soundtrack.

This and Fr-08 are my favorites
O Yeah!! Fantastique
I luv this one
yaw yaw yaw ja ja ja Yeah!!
This demo made me understand what good code is. A code that generates beauty instead of lame usual demoscenish stuff. Congrats guys. If this is boring then i hope i'll spend my life getting bored :)
wow wow wow!!This demo gives you a mood.! I really love it. Very good synchro+great visuals+great sound.This one is different and a step in a new direction I think.Keep on!
Awesome piece mfx prod
Very impressive demo, especially on bigscreen. The colors and the music are the best points. Rarely does an MFX demo have such a good music... And it need not be shorter. It only gets boring to boring people.
ofcourse, everything is just plain great ::> colors, movement, sound ::> demo as whole
a 'no please' music
uninteresting jpg photos (take a look to the open data dir) with radial blur

I love this demo but it runs differently on my new (P4 2.4Ghz) PC. Photos stobe too quickly and talking effect turns the screen full white. Do you want to lock down some of the effects before clock speeds render this unwatchable?
you can probably can fix that yourself in the meantime by setting your driver to "wait for retrace" ... unless you are an alien that needs 400hz refresh rate.
one of the bests
first I thought it's boring and didn't even watch it to the end.
then I watched it again and realised it's slowly increasing athmosphere. the speech part is really awesome, although not understandable. all I can say is: plug your pc to your hifi, turn off the lights and fire up the volume. rox hard.

I was about to comment that this demo was too blurry and stupid, but after i read Blue 7's comment i realized that I'm suffering from the same problem. After watching this with my laptop, this made more reason.

Absolutely stunning - A total keeper - should've won scene.org's demo of the year!
The atmosphere, the ambiance and use of texture as a sort of 'clouding' is brilliant! Still revolutionary almost a year later!

Imho, the music isnt as good as the gfx... I wont give it a "sux" because theres some kind of good job done... a question of personal tastes
if the demo isn't working for you, you could just browse the images in the data directory really fast while listening to the music.
Although there are some annoying details, like the greetings (why those greetings?! it destroys the whole atmosphere since it cries out to you: "hi there, this is a demoscene production" - which doesn't feel compatible with the rest of the mood of the production).
Anyway, it still really really really good.

i love it! one of my favourites! mfx rules!
the music for this prod is probably the scariest thing ever to listen to while travelling with a subway (we DID try)
thought i voted this one long ago. It rules hard anyway.
pwn3z! Slightly repetitive at times, but that doesn't really matter, as the effects repeated rules! Solid.
8====o~
geil
Hypnotizing
hmmh... the code sucks. either new gfx cards (GF3 and better?) or fast computers (i haven't tested enough) display the demo wrongly. Too much brightness, especially in the supposed-to-be-subtle images. A fix will probably never be released... thumbs down for me.
selfvoting sucks :D
the feeling of electronic music
m(ental)fx...
Good and weird demo, though I like A Deepness in the Sky better (and where is Across Realtime? :))
always loved this one
good shit!
lobotomy
Really cool - has to be in the right mood though...
this was (and stil is) my favourite mfx demo..
this one gives me chills, in a good way.. watch late at night with the speakers cranked and all the lights off ... mmmm
awesome, as always
chill...lights down...and...Amazed me, this demo let's me free to feel everything in my mind, no rules, no strict schemas...be what you wanna be
Aina ei voi voittaa. Hävitä voi joka kerta. MFX--;
start's real cool.
this just got boring.
I see I am not the only one who is missing the demo here...
...
smooth.
Great Visuals - Nice smooth layered visuals - Too bad the fade/in/out effect kills it's smoothness - could be extremely chill otherwise
Ahem!!
Putting the visit of a technoclub into a demo?
I think they can do MUCH better!

thumb in arrear
tekkno!

let it seduce you
that vocoder visual, yumm ...
we want more like this one!
A true masterpiece forgoten in time! I like it's pace. What trace said.
I think I love you.
quite, quite boring
Psychedelic
NOOOOO! It no longer runs!
mfx
YEEEES! It runs again. Turning every advanced setting on the nvidia drivers to off or oldschool mode fixed it.
doesn't run on vista anymore ;(
classic!
this is one of my favorite ambient demos out there. thanks mfx.
Hmmm... too flashy and repetitive. I think they did better with "a deepness in the sky"
smooth
deep and impressive
y
Subliminal.
wonderful music
I don't like the track very much (909 kick is bleh) but the visuals are pure sex.
Even in 2012, this still hits it :)
top!
really ugly.
experience
perfect
nice
hell yeah
