I really love your previous demos, but...sorry...this was quite boring and often disconnected. Piggy for now, but perhaps it will grow on me with repeated watching.

uhhhm. I was expectiing much more... ok guess, but not impressive
wins the least-readable-scroller prize
Sorry, but this was horrible! No design, no transitions, no sync, no background, too much black, awful env mapping...ok, I'll stop there.
Music was pretty good, but it was very unpleasant to watch.

seriously, what the hell... I think this was beyond my comprehension so I'll just give it a ?. Not a rules, not a sucks but a ?
Excellent music! Nice code here and there but otherwise the demo lacked design - badly!
Nice music, the reference to Siberian khatru wasn't too distracting. I didn't get bored.
Looks a bit empty sometimes and your music and design style gets a bit boring after many demos for which it worked great. But it fails here... sorry to say that.
Didn't really like it that much, as is the case with most Adapt demos. Especially the text parts were quite bad.
This is.... this.
Adapt demos are often like good whiskey: Sometimes hard to appreciate but very rewarding. This one is like a bottle of old, strange tasting whiskey from a obscure distillery: It might be excellent and very rewarding but it requires work to appreciate.

ha ! Siberian khatru ! I was listening to the record earlier and then saw the demo and thought.. Waaait a minute..
Great to see a scroller but unfortunately it was partly unreadable (the 3D one) and partly ugly (the fonts on the other one). But piggie anyway.
Wasted potential
This was terrible, but the music was cool, so a pig.
even music sucks lol..
what AstronautStebo said.
It is when watching demos like this I just sit there thinking "Okay, soo.. someone actually DECIDED to make it look like this?"
this had a few cool scenes and a very psychedelic feel to it, but i'll have watch it again since this left a really strong wtf-feeling in the compo.. the music was a refreshing deviation from the demotune norm.
Gimme the mp3. :)
(the rest was pretty uninspired though.)

what gloom said...
definitely not bad but kinda ugly :)
Coherent mess
Not my cup of tea.
"a demo inspired by late 90s amiga demos, yet designed by stevie wonder"
the scrollers :(
JDruid & Navis: I had to stop watching the demostream and go through my records shit drunk in order to find out where that musical phrase was borrowed from. I finally found it and missed couple of (bad) demos on the way.
Yes: Siberian Khatru \o/
Btw. that's one ugly demo.

Uhm,. maybe not enough shaders in this computer? I will try later..
Sorry guys for the rushed compo version.
The final party version of the demo is
http://kaverit.org/~deepr/Adapt_TheInvisibleHold_partyFinal.zip
First we thought to fix the timer problem that caused the movement to be very jerky everywhere. But finally we ended to add almost everything to the demo that should have been there in the compo version already.
So if we just had one day more before assembly, the results would have looked like this.

Great music, I love Adapt's demos and while this is not the best, it still deserves my thumb.
adapt syndrome repeated, some nice scenes, seriously lacking some decent design/direction
Ok, have to admit I had listened a lot of Yes, Curtis Mayfield and Graham Central Station before making the tune. And I was asked to do something like Opus' Live is Life, but I decided to do it with a really different style. The mp3 is available at http://basscadet.fi/music/demo/invisible_hold.mp3
the demo has interesting parts, but some are too boring sorry. The tune sounds like a "funky demo" preset on a cheap synth, Not my thing. i
nah...
This demo reminds me of the days when I still liked demos. Oh, the memories. Nevertheless, it feels fresh and new. I like it. A lot.
Watching it with proper shaders, I think it's not bad. The scroller reminds me of an old Cascada classic :)
got no sound
made it work finally

It may remind you of a Cascada demo, but it doesn't look like any of them.. unfortunately.
it has some great moments and some drawbacks, but overall feels good to me.
there is a lot in there, and I especially like the cloud effect and the head with the octopus style... unfortunally most parts are nice but "unpolished", or simply not as good as they could have been. I like the fact that you try to do music and not random industrial sounds like many other prods, but I think it's too slow paced for this kind of demo. a very good attempt and I think you will astonish us in the future if you keep developing.
also works in wine.

a, fucking thumb.
Love the music.
Some nice stuff and excellent track, but quite unfinished
heavily lacks polishing
Sorry guys, got the point there je'.
Still laughing about the desing <grrr> : D Final was better!
This is so off the wall I can't but love it, in a strange way.
