I'd probably kill to get a crew as the one that made this production. One of my all time favourites. The code is good. Spine chilling music. Graphics to kill for. And the end is brilliant, I love this demo.

one of the best designed demos on pc ever. pulse rocked (as always).
one of my favourite visual trip. boost your sound system!
hey! there are no Poser and no mp3 in this demo!it's excellent!
The design is sloppy, but the chilling atmosphere and the AWESOME music blow me away every time. Must-have-seen!
we are living with some great demos! this is one of this demos. The design, the sinchro, the music, the code... all! is perfect!
What an abstract demo?! (But good abstract :)
Very interesting.
I don't watch it often, but still interesting..

a great demo, but far from both pulse's and statix' best in my opinion... but killer graphics by haplo and a great track by shad makes this worthy a download indeed..
maybe the single best pc demo ever? certainly the final masterpiece of the vga era...
square also represents the height of "classic" demo design in the way it blends very different effects, graphics and music as discrete elements (unlike many new demos which rely on more narrow design principles)

Shellshock!
My alltime favourite!!!
great in every category, imho a masterpiece and statix best one ever.
one of the best production of one of the best demogroup -> pulse rocks
Extreme thingie..
A masterpiece, by all the legendary guys :)
All parts of a demo; music, design, effects, graphics...all of it in this production is very good.
A true "must see".

One of the best prods ever. Watch and learn...
Just voting! :-)
ah! how could i have forgotten this one. it's simply put an amazing demo from beginning till end.
one of my all time favorites!
this rox massive butt
the best is always the best.
one of my favourite demos. maybe the best.
one of my all time favourite
i want a win-version. statix please do it :)

I have only seen this demo on my slow P75.... still a very good demo.
one of the best demos,
made by some of the most talented people at this time.
also their last one, they stopped doing demos after this.
at the same time a technically conservative demo (using vga) and a great step on the
conceptual side: it had a really cute design ages before that flat+wireframe numedia
trend.
it doesn't need a lot of words to describe how nice it is, just enumerate the people who
made it :
code of statix, particles of dune, music of shad, graphics of haplo..
nothing to say more on that point..
but what makes it one of the greatest demos is the way the effects are going, astonishing transitions, marvellous style, and looping video ending effect.
nice style,
for sure underrated at tp.

again..i just love it, an incredible piece of art
about porting it from dos -> windows. I asked Statix and he lost the sources .. :((((
Same for Blitz with Saint/Halcyon, lost too.

2 words...Kick ass !
i'm gonna say this only once: this rocks
this rocks
this rocks
need w32 version badly. :))
Running under Windows XP (kinda ;D)
Fullsize and other snapshots (i'll be posting them periodically) here
hello it's statix here I'm going to try porting this to win32 tonight, wish me luck :) I'll post on ojuice with the w32 port exe and source code when it's done.
square win32 version! we love statix indeed.
and my god how beautifully it works on modern computers (not that it would've been too slow in the past either). brings back a lot of good memories.

rulez
yes, cool. i saw it on the bigscreen back in the early days. apart from few bugs this demo still rocks :-D
yes!YES!YEEEESS!
thank you!
thank you!
Manages very well to change between different styles and looks -- it changes quite a lot, too. The music isn't the best I've heard, but heck, it's a real good demo. :-)
actually cooler than i remembered
Not perfect and not the best ever but still damn good shit.
A legendary masterpiece.
yeah yeah!! this one is one of my all time favourites!! Just great art and great sound..
Maybe it's one of those demos that looked good at the time of its release, but it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.
Quite good considering the limitations of the standard PC VGA card...
Amazing! Just seeing the screenshot makes me want to watch it right now!
data
yes! the distorted part in the music owns me.
<3 <3 @ statix
Looked brilliant in the 90s and does the same several years later :)
One of the best pc demos ever (at least it's in my personal top5). Like crest said, it still looks good today -which is not easy-
brilliant.
this demo rocks like hell
there is a strange darkness to this demo that gives it an obvious UK branding. Cool. Love the retro distorted bits.
great transitions for a great demo
shocked
Cool aphex twin sample!
Rools
On top.
How it's supposed to be done.
statix <3
With a minor resolution upgrade or even just some nice interpolated upsampling this demo would win compos even now. Beyond awesome
statix
One of my fave PC demos ever. Masterpiece!
one of my all time favourite demos ever on any platform =)
For some reason, this never did the trick for me. I don't know why.. there's nothing wrong with. The style is great, I like the music and the effects are good. But somehow they just don't.. connect
no no no no.. sorry. I got it mixed with something else entirely. This one rocks.
Great sync
i swear, been commenting this already! // now, refreshing my memory, this is still well enjoyable! //
Powerful code & concepts!
My favourite parts are the blue blurred blocks and the cave.

Pulse rules (or at least ruled) This is just a gorgeous demo that proves that you don't need no stinkin' 3D hadrware for gorgeous demos.
Square,CrystalDreams 2, and Second Reality were my most viewed one's
great engine, superb 2D art, and overall wow factor.

I remember seeing this at the top of the charts (doose.dk anyone?) and I never really found it as beautiful as that was letting me expect. I do love some of the effects, the music and haplo's great graphics but never really got that... unreal feeling that the best of the best provoke in me. It's still good but for some reason doesn't quite touch me the way some other demos do.
RULEZ !
classic
Amazing graphics from Haplo, very cool muzak and teh sync!
cool for its time
RULEZT!
Rulez. I think I run it first on a p133 :)
lovely
pretty good
mmmmmmmmmm... luuvely
STYLE!
Yes!
one of my alltime favs..
excellent design, gfx, direction!
electro/jungle music, lots of graphic effects, 3Ds, photos
I prefer more orange's demos even if there is some same names behind the scenes. But it's still good.
dope demo
great!!
Great transitions!
I always have been a sucker for stuff by statix, and this one is in a particularly nice wrapper ;-)
well it's square by pulse :-)
Rather excellent
A classic.
This is how u make a DOS demo. Pay attention, BITS!
what a pearl :)
WTF, where's my thumb? A peral indeed!

The windows version stole it :)

INFINITE FUCKING THUMBS UP!
ok one
kickass
Oh god this was so good
soiaghin
Kickass soundtrack and gfx makes this a kickass demo!
Best era for demos.
Just realized, it was Drew Barrymore in the demo :)
dof in 1997?!
3d design is horrible ... otherwise pretty great :)
I was here with the boys (Statix, Dune, Haplo, Zeb...) during the end of "creation process" at The Party 7, it was amazing to see so much "1337ness" on a tiny table :)
watched it today again with Dosbox, great one, very harmonic to watch, a simply perfect watching experience, always a pleasure to rewatch :)
The whole thing looks like a pre-rendered CG video. It is not. Beautiful.
ahhh!
What SaphirJD said.
omg how could i have missed this one? its awesome and the win32 port still runs well on win7x64!
Technically supah .. not everything agrees with me, but definitely worth a thumb.
To this date one of the best demos ever made and will forever remain so. The design and visuals are timeless.
Ahead of its time
High quality code and good pace, I'm completely allergic to shaking photos in front of effects, but the music was really good for 1997 and I appreciated the brain model most. Even though it's a simplified model, try modeling one in a modern package. Now go back in time and do it before Maya 1.0 ;)
One of the best demos on any platform, clearly. Stunning and very influential design, you can see it's echoing in many demos that come later.
classic
Demos are entertainment, and this demo is excellent :)
Forever in my mind.
Classic! Gritty glitch, super soundtrack!
I like how it uses the lack of resolution to its advantage.
Ruled!
ahhhh how much i loved datmuzak from it! =)
I liked this a lot!
The coolest.
cool!
what? i've never upped it? here you go
Cool demo
Fancy newschool back in the 90ies !
My favorite part is when there's arbitrary 3d scene in the background with this asian girl appearing followed by the two side kicks and the music just says "you better get home now before things get ugly!"
What can i say about this? Excellent!
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
that purple tree thing in the center clips into the others
i'm never going to unsee this and it's going to kill me

This is pretty on point, atmospherically.
Looked brilliant then and still does. One of best pc demos for me.
true classic
IMHO the best PC demo of the late DOS era. Too bad it's so short :(
Nice relaxing demo
One of the best demos of the late 90s.
outstanding demo ever when i can't stop watching this for years
Kick ass demo. Wish there were more demos like this produced today for whatever platform this style is suited for :)
staticstates!
One of my all-time favs, even better than 303.
Awesome design!
