The music is a bit too much, but the rest is good.

Boring music, nothing new or groundbreaking at all but it was ok.
I liked Traction more when they didn't try to imitate ASD and Kewlers so much. :-P Didn't really fancy the elevator music.
usual style!
ASDish but even purer :)
can't be more beautiful!
can't be more beautiful!
It's not ASDish just because the use the same colors as iconoclast.
Nice garden.
Nice garden.
charming atmosphere! magic!
forgot thumb!
ASD lookalike. solid stuff
the music should've been something more abstract and outwordly. it really fails to set the mood with it's drumbeats, guitars and predictable chordings. this could've been more than just a demo.
looks really recycled. lot of scenes was way too long, and a bit empty. Anyway i really like the 'flowers" one.
lovely !!!
Fairytale #2. I loved the original so no problem at that, but a bit more difference wouldn't have hurt :)
Disappointing as a Traction prod IMO :(
Worked for me. And the RK's soundtrack was very nice! Thumb up.
thump for as nice as last year bp demo, but please don't make a third one the same!
fairytale 2007 SE, only with new soundtrack.
you need to change something i guess. \o/

nice
This was way boring. Too slow movement and too long scenes. To much linestuff, looks the same.
quite nice. still, the glowing "linestuff" is getting old a bit ;)
I enjoyed watching this. :)
Cool mix of Traction and Brainstorm styles!
Nice ambience.
Beautiful but boring. Still a minor thumb
This demo took my breath away. Absolutely beautiful. =)
I get a lockup (illegal program operaton blabal) right after the scene in the screenshot. (XPSP2, 8800 GTS)
Really dig that music!
Where Fairytale ended this demo starts..
Again the style/concept by traction but this time in a underwater world. Nice music also!
Thumb. (Preacher I hope you now start on a new demo, your only demo for 1 year, and release it at bp09 and wins instantly :)

Very cool zik and good traction visuals.
My favourite scene is the one with the rambling orangeblue ribbons.
Romeo knight ftw

Beautiful.
somehow most of the traction-demos look like some parameter-tuning of a long-existing engine, so no surprises here - except for the rather boring RK music
Good idea for the demo even though the gfx could need some improvment. Looked great on bigscreen.
A little bit too similar to Fairytale imo but still quite enjoyable.
stylin nice work!
most moody one
Starts nicely but fails to keep up. Still not bad ...
why "underwater demo" must always mean "jellyfish demo"?! :(
The thumb can't go any other way than up but Preacher.. the next time we talk about a demo of yours, make sure that you're confident about it (i.e. have spent a good time coding it and actually loving it.. and I suppose you know why say that eh? =)
Didn't really like how the jellyfish and the fish moved... Still nice effects.
more of that traction beauty
Lovley mode, and realy nice designed. Music were not my cup of tea though. Still a realy good production.
I'm a bit disappointed. After marvellous "Fairy tale" this tastes like a rechauffé cutlet. It was nice to watch it on bigscreen, but I probably won't play it anymore.
It's not bad but feels just too much the same as last year. Didn't give me any nice feelings I usually get from Traction demos.
some nice abyss in here. missed some consistency in this.
some nice scenes but the magical glowing jellyfish shouldnt really appear from thin air... killed the whole digital organic mood for me
Loved the visuals and the music. Thank you for talking to me, Romeo Knight. I'm not worthy :)
Kinda mixed feelings about this, the jellyfish stuff was a bit dull, but overall it was quite nice.
This is beautiful indeed.
way too slowpaced + reuse of fx
Beautifull and has quite a good flow.
I was too tired to appriciate this at the party but it sure is a good demo
"this could've been more than just a demo." but i like it!
Not bad, but lots of reused stuff and not so coherent imo. I was a bit disappointed, because I love "fairytale" so much and expected too much maybe... :/
not again please! Fairytale was boring, this is even worse, very disappointing as Traction demo. Sorry
I like this. Very nice colours and particles plus romeo knight is back.
Oh my... glowing lines, jellyfish, underwater theme? The skeleton fish looked absolutely bored and so was I...
Don't get me wrong, this is still beautiful stuff and the music was ace but I think it's time for a new direction or a more distinguished style, like in "Fiat Homo".

indeed it is.
chill
this one looked almost 3D on the big screen. I dig the concept and the execution, there were a couple of parts that had unreal beauty.
guys, please start learning shots and screen layout. most of the parts would be so much better with interesting shots. turning around an object is not always the best solution. nevertheless soundtrack and basic concept are nice - so: a weak thumb up.
great, some of my favs at bp
Basically what Astronaut said. Serene and beautiful, but slightly boring.
A bit empty and uninspired but some parts look really nice.
Not awful, but it looked like a quick rehash of previous Traction demos.
solid. does not catch me though
not so solid as fairytale but cool
Concept and visual direction in it's always nice quality.
"Because it's not plasmas and twisters it should be something new because you've done stuff like this already!", wait, what? :D

I liked it on the bigscreen! :)
beautiful autumn colours in some scenes.
Lovely!
very pretty, you can show traction demos to your girlfreind :)
Could have used a little more polish here and there, but overall very well done and I loved how the music went with the demo.
Average
I have seen it all before
yeah average, and a little asd like
nice relaxing demo.
Relaxing stuff.
What stijn said.
Seems i forgot to thumb up this one
as the text attached says :
" Sometimes, a demo can change the world of those who watch it "
it changed my world for a few minutes :)

Nice demo, especially soundtrack.
..I like it, but Fairytale is my fav! Both demos has the same look.. both nice!
after rewatching it. what about some random offset in jellyfish movement? would make it a little less static.
There is some random offset, but apparently not random enough :)
boring
720p60 video (H.264, AAC) here: ftp://ftp.untergrund.net/users/ryg/challenger_deep_720p.mp4
i thought i already thumbed this :S
I really like it. The music is charming!
nice
Stunning visuals, but I feel like I've seen it all in Traction demos before. Sorry, Preach.. ;)
Also, the music is very well produced, but sounds too much like someone was trying to copy an ASD soundtrack. Without progressive metal it just doesn't work, I tell you. ;)

Also: Fish shaped like that don't move their tails sideways, but up and down. JSYK. ;)
Romeo Knight kicks ass again with the music. So great ! Atmosphere is magic and colours very beautiful ... Shivers ... A masterpiece !
so peaceful.. =)
thanks!
thanks!

digital subaqua dreams!
The visual has some poetry inside...
A little bit boring but music is nice
It was a nice effect show, but nothing really inspiring.
Great show, has a dream feel to it - very good balanced colors and a nice soundtrack.
cool... :)
woah hey never thumbed this. I still like this "romantic" style. Plus its nice to have a demo to show the family again. Please dont stop making demos like this.
Nice sync to these scenes, Fantastique musik.
it feels like holiday watching this demo!
long lost thumb! i truely believe that, due to their (his) distinctive minimal trademark style, traction (preacher) has been one of the most inspiring forces in the demoscene over the past few years. and continues to be so. this production is no exception. one shot however got me worried though: what the heck does the swimming fishbone do in there? while one is easily seduced by these beautiful deepsea realms full of microscopic life the swimming fishbone is the unpleasant out-of-place kick in the head ... but other than that: brilliant!
Nice
Damn, I didn't thumb that one, and yet... I just LOVE it.
The mix between music and graphics is really, really inspiring... Thank you guys for crafting such a beauty. I like every bit of it. And it makes my mind rush, you have no idea.

Saved by the music. The visuals are sometimes pretty, but overall a bit boring and deja vu...

What Barrio Jigs said...
Me like. :)
apparently we're eating porridge again...
in the beginning it was boring, at the middle it became worse, at the end of the demo it was fascinating.

Preacher: it seems you are doing as I said in my comment dated 24-3-2008
(atleast the first part ;-)
Good job!! :-)

magic: We'll see.
I watched this again yesterday just before going to sleep. I find it sad how close it is to what I wanted, and yet so infinitely far away. Maybe it would warrant even a re-make some day, with some scenes taken out entirely and others reworked. I still think that the spline/line/glow thing in the end is the finest effect I have ever done.

At times it felt kinda empty and stagnant, but some parts and effects in really liked, good music too.
i dont care about the gfx and visuals, but the music by romeo knight is so great!
beautiful visuals and outstanding music
.. !
Deepest beauty
Everything is so nice, but... well. Somehow I cannot fully enjoy.
lovely <3
awesome!
This one is beautiful. Only thing I don't really like is the fish. Everything else is awesome, including the music.
Underrated somewhat. Awesome tune, for sure.
nice
I wouldn't have enjoyed this half as much as I did without the music, but the design is still awesome. The camera paths seem very carefully considered. Also, I think the fish skeleton was a good thing.
I often find myself watching this.
Very good.
Very good.
beautiful visuals and lovely music!
Nice and trippy.
mad love
This demo has a perfect ending. The soundtrack and fish models scream for a comparison with ASD so here goes: this one wins in style and music but loses in the scene transitions. Overall, quite enjoyable but a tad too long.
I wish someone, some day will make the perfect jellyfish animation and a demo about it.

Hey, we got successful once with this concept (Fairytale) so let's do it again! The music is great (I especially love the acoustic guitar solo in the middle and the shredding through shitloads of effects in the end). This one was a painful to make with lots of arguments etc, but watching it now years later hurts less than it perhaps could.
Out of all the effects I've ever done, the recycled Fairytale line snake is maybe the best single one.
