an instant classic falcon demo. this will surely be one of the greats.
Just one word: Rules!
Great electro song, great effects, great modern design, all synch in a videoclip style... all in all, great production!
An instant classic indeed.
It was really worth the wait and worth the work. :)

I like the non-double-pixeled gouraud shading!
For those non-Atarians browsing this way, this demo from a party two years ago ;-)
It has stayed fresh over that time, a real uber-demo...

btw, just to be sure: lotek and moondoog are the same person?

can you tell me if you random pick IP numbers in demo (down-left corner) or with intention?
I didn't try it all but for example 129.42.19.99 is IBM web site....

in some ways this demo is better than everything that has been done on falcon before: the music and concepts i mean. i really enjoy the flow of this product which is very slick. in terms of code the 1x1 gouraud worlds are very nice although they could be faster (don't hit me!). all screen have got background effects or stills and there are overlays too, which is the maximum you can expect from a basic falcon. bravo tscc! :))
Sometimes I even disbelieved that it will be released someday... great work, mates!
scene.org reorganised a bit, so the video link above doesn't work.
Here is a new working video link.

They did it, at last!
Nice falcon demo, quite original.
I watched the video version, sorry, I know it probably ruins it somehow but there is no falcon around :)

One of the most remarkable Falcon demos ever and it has
gotten even better from the first presentation till today.
Excellent work.

Awesome - in concept, style and idea!
A pity that I don't really dig that style of music ;) But that's my personal taste - a long awaited and really brainbusting demo! Well done, TSCC!

This just great - you got a Falcon030 ? Then you got to have beams, too !
I like the music and the effects and the strange overall atmosphere.
Best designed Falcon030 demo so far.

rules ! : )
Excellent demo! Cool design and concept and a soundtrack that adds much to the overall cyberpunk atmosphere. I want more! :-)
Saw the video today. Great demo, really stylish! And the soundtrack rocks!
Nectarine let me fall in love with the soundtrack, finally I could enjoy the whole demo. It was worth the long waiting. Oh and presenting it in Dresden first ... <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3. :)
Love the song and lyrics :)
Gotta get a Falcon now..

All right "the beams are gonna blind me" :D watched first time at Evoke 2005
i forgot to thumb
fucking great demo!
loved discovering it @ evoke

Beams are gone blind me. ;)
whoa.
hmm... i don't really see the big deal about this one. the track is nice, but...
Enjoyable production, although the parts with "beams are gonna blind me" last too long.
parapete: the demo is for 16MHz 68030 with 4Mb
ace
A great coup de coeur,indeed :)
Awesome graphics,music and stle....for a 6030 machine.

Don't use IP addresses nor binary numbers in the design graphics... argh.. Can't get rid of that tune :) Nice pic up left.
great demo and lotek style´s tune simply rox...
ofcourse
What ps said, and vocals rule, it's always nice to see some new repertoire for Ultrasound :-)
The song and voice in refrain sometimes sux, but overall demo ownz.
Awesome!
it did not impress me that much, still a very good production except for the soundtrack =)
this.Lemmingize();
this is neither funny nor technically interessting.
actually most effects are ugly.

Cyberspace isn't a pretty place for pretty boys! ;-)
Solid production, worth a thumb up for the atmosphere alone.
hellfire: it seems that you are not able to judge any atari demo technik... this prod run on a falcon030/4Mb at 16Mhz ... Nothing more to say !
Love it or leave it... Love it! :>
rules.
...must admit that i've watched it again several times, just because i couldn't get that music out of my head. so this demo, apparently, can't be as bad as i thought.
however, that green gouraud-thing, which is also the only full-screen effect, is still ugly ;) and too much of the rest reminds me of an '94 envmap show.
herrV: thank you, i was aware of the hardware specification (but i'm not an atari-coder, so you probably have a point).

j'aime !
TT version is also very fine
Haven't seen that many Falcon demos myself, but must say I liked this one. Not very inovative design but still very enjoyable.
LTK: Thanks for the tune links! I need a second thumb for these killer tracks alone. :D
Ray, beautiful code, i LOVE !!
Lotek, beautiful music, i LOVE TOO !!

yep...cool one...unfortunately i never saw the tt version...
Voice recording remains one of the hardest things for amateur artists, unfortunately.
Code ups its value.

great demo
GT-Turbo gave me the chance to watch this on real hardware at numerica and it roxxs, cool tune and great design.
Great demo and works on my ct63 :)
really special concept and in the end it worked out together very well :) I especially like the combination of effects which are rare on falcon all in all.. my respect for the good and steady work for so many years on that one!
masterpiece !!!
OMFG I'm afraid I never voted for this before ...
pleaaase forgive me ... it's really outstanding dudes :)
Kewl track ...

nice visuals by gizmo, good overall flow.
but seriously, singing should be left for those who can do it. =)

The is really great stuff! Incredible graphics, superb effects, great design and sound. That tune should be released to all radio-stations so that we can hear it on air. Maybe a top ten title? :-)
Great visuals, great music!
Cool one
Outstanding!
ihr seid ja ma krass..
rules, although chorus is a bit annoying...
The music is bloody annoying, the green gouraud-scenes look horrible and there's way too much repetition which pretty much kills the flow. Some of the gfx were nice though.
I would usually thumb down this kind of stuff, but fearing the usual atari-retaliation I'll just give it a piggie ;)

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the music.. The visuals are ok for the most part.
ok, well, i was expecting a LOT better than this from the comments. Its enough for a thumb up, but only just. Its pretty boring, i thought.
The vocals are excrutiatingly awful.
The vocals are excrutiatingly awful.
the music must be the worst I have seen in any demo on any platform... (the vocals)... makes it impossible to enjoy the demo... quite sad for the demo looks quite cool.
what solo2 said
The beams are gonna blind me!
I am riding on a beam
A digital clean datastream
Travelling with bits&bytes along
Binary encoding 0 1
The beams are gonna blind me
The data streams behind me
The beams are gonna blind me
The lights are gonna guide me
(repeat)
Much more clusters passing by
Fujijamatari signs
And in the distant digiland
The pyramids of IBM
The beams are gonna blind me
The data streams behind me
The beams are gonna blind me
The lights are gonna guide me
(repeat)
A database my journey ends
All panther moderns are my friends
We break the ice with no problems
We gonna steal the whole contents
The beams are gonna blind me
The data streams behind me
The beams are gonna blind me
The lights are gonna guide me

hfr: far better than your sad productions, windows-boy.

PLIIIIIIIIIIIIZ, make MOOOOOOOOORE!! :)

Nice FX and music, but what's with the IP's?
Creepy lyrics, <3 nevertheless
awesome <3
Nice demo, kinda love the music.
How can you not love this demo? Great production!
The beams are gonna blind me
great demo for 030 Ataris, especially like the TT version
Just great!
Is there a problem with the video or the vocoder is simply out of tune?
nice greetings part
The music is following me everywhere on my mp3 player <3
I captured a video from the Atari TT030 version:

excellent music
This is a cool demo with great music. (Note that if you cannot fit the Falcon demo on floppy, you can lower the bitrate of the 'Beams.mp2' track. Don't change the frequency though as it will screw it up.)
One thing that sucks a little is the Falcon MP2 tracks are only in Mono, whereas the TT MOD files are in stereo. It would have been nice to see the Falcon version use 16 bit MOD's in stereo.

Quick update to my last comment. WTF.
So with some tinkering, I just found out that you can play Stereo MP2 files providing that: A. you keep the sample rate at 32 Khz, and B. You rename the MP2 file to 'Beams.mp2.' Furthermore, it will play 128K music tracks without any problem.
So one must ask again, why did the TT get stereo MOD music, when the Falcon only got a Mono MP2 file?

So, the TT version works on Falcon as well? Nice! Also, the conversion work to MOD-format is top notch!
The TT version will work on the Falcon, but you have to change the MOD format to Stereo MP2 Format. I tried it with different songs like 'Tatu - Show me love' for laughs and it is a great player.
I just created a video using the music from this demo, and Subgliep for the Jaguar 'Native' Demo. Check it out. http://youtu.be/C75isKIgfUQ Hope you dont mind ITK_Tscc (great music should not go to waste) I understand about the file size, and hate having to transfer big files on my Falcon.

great, music is meh but still ok, like the vocoder part though
No thumb yet?? Great track, nice visuals, Neuromancer!
released on error in line 2003 but was released on march 2005!?
Nice demo, someone showed me this on Sommarhack a couple of years ago, and always been wondering what the name of the demo was until now
yes
rulezz
nosfe is a creeping retard, for sure.
This demo rules hard, second imaginary thumb-up here.
