Great demo, one of my favorite ones

The voices impressed me the first time, but the demo is always impressing me..

Good demo, good voices!

This is one of my all-time favourite demo's, great effects and (as far as i know) the first to include vocals in the demomusic.

jeees, jeees. vic+statix super duo. grat video, with first vocals in pc demo. vic's a mad singer! :P

Simply a great demo, vocals are cool, and if you pay attention to the design you'll se that VIP2 has used the same design (construction).
hum...

demo is nice, vic sounds strange ;)

One of my all time favorite demos, dope ass music, and wicked effects that makes you wanna dance....or something ;>
Great production.

THE demo !!! my favourite one !

This one isn't a demo in my opinion. It's an anthology demo. big difference.

never could figure out what's so great with this one...

Great Demo! Great Design! Great Music! Great Lyrics! Great Effects! (I like the one with the face in the wall with the other 2d fx mapped very much! And I like the 2d patterns with the circles, e.t.c.. in the beginning very much too!!!)

Remix of the original 303 tune, by Vic himself! Rocks!@#

vic+statix=sex

Great Demo! Statix always surprises me

Great Demo! Statix & Vic always surprise, thx!

the first time I saw it, I was just expecting good design and good code, but the voices are what (from my point of view) make this demo really awesome

Hello? Did I watched the same demo, which you
all have seen? OK , this
demo has some nice effects
but the music SUCKS!
Why the hell it's called 303?
Vic is probaly a bit insane...

i can rather agree with the last poster than anyone else... this demo contain some really amazing effects but the shitty music ruins it all... especially this singing - well, maybe there is a true scene spirit and stuff and it's damn cool but for me it sounds like a cheesy pop track and it absolutely doesnt fit the rest of the demo. just because someone sings and even have some skill doing it doesnt mean it rocks. the lyrics seems to be stupid for me as well. sorry guys. this demo have nothing to do with 303 and just makes me laugh how "hard" it is ;D

Yes it rulez.

that's a very sweet demo. It's got feeling.

Well, I don't like singing in demos that much. Someone could confuse this with a video clip. ;)

It deserves a "rulez" :)

Vic and Statix are always amazing me with their demos.
This demo and Bleam is my favorite demos because they have cool feeling and atmosphere. Nowaydays demos doesnt have the same feeling because they have just crappy 3dengines without any meaning.
This must be an legendary demo =)

You GOT TO love this one ;-) Great soundtrack too..

yep, absolutely wonderful. very good soundtrack, with the little vocals-hack in midas =) overall, a great demo.

yeah, a truly rocking demo. great effects, and a soundtrack that may use some time to "grow on you", but when it does you'll understand.. :)

by respect

i keep the soundtrack with me on mp3, i never know when i'm gonna need it. a serious rulez.

sorry, but the music sucks. he simply can't sing.

listen to it at least 3 times chaos^fr =)

an all-times-rulez prod !

Chmm, soundtrack is in cheap pop-style, some good scenes, bit boring. Soundtrack doesnot fit with demo. The Statics+Vic demo BLEAM is better

a very good demo, but i agree with chaos, the vocals sux

i liked the demo and the vocals was a nice new idea. but maybe they should have done some more test-singing before releasing the demo ;-)

it simply rulez!

this has got to be the #1 coolest demo of all time! because it was (to my best knowledge) the first demo to include vocals in the soundtrack, it definately is truly innovative! vic's great (though not always in perfect tune) singing gives the demo a whole new dimension! i love this one!

A couple people have said this is the first demo with singing, so I thought I'd point out Zero Gravity from The Party '96.. but that one's lyrics are a lot shorter.

Oh, and I'd better give 303 a thumbs up too. :)

hey, what about Purple's Skumle Planer (SE95)? The goldfish sings "vi har skumle planet, mye værre enn du aner".. it rocks, even though the lyrics are even shorter than in Zero Gravity :)

one of my(if not the)all time favorite(s)

i never understood this demo.
saw it, disliked it (at least, since everybody said it was the best thing ever, i was disappointed a lot), found it boring, saw it again, same thing.

must be me not being oldschool enough.

try watching it on a bigscreen, then you'll know

cool demo. really. vic's singing is a little bit strange but i loved it! :) code&music-PERFECT!

i remember singing along this demo in a nice duet with ile at scene event 2001 ;-)

that would have been a quartet, macaw. I distinctly recall being the baritone (and some other guy in the dark quipped a falsetto)

yep, scene event, much like this demo, surely kicks ass :)

an ok demo, nice for its time and all, only i feel the music is quite cheesy and the name of the demo still remains a mystery for me. except for the picture of the mc303 in the end of it all.

Rudy Bentmoore....

huh huh huh...Is that an alias? =)

combine title + pic = demo title. Try to inspect the command line comments, you may find the whole demo and related texts, phrases and whatnot to be completely off your tits.

'all we need is a kipper'

it was ages ago since i watched it, so i might have forgot most of it. :)

hm... i expected some tb303 ridden acid for this one.

man was i dissapointed...

okay, it's been said before..

but I love this demo. One of the best ever made.

Fucking great...except for the "videopart".

its so good feeling to hate it (:

It's so good feeling to love it! :)

Weird demo, but still a milestone.

yay!

Terrible music and strange design. Doesn't reach a 'sucks' rating (but gets real close).

I like this little demo. Although the guy doesn't sing too well, but hey, neither do I!

i may be crazy but i love the music !!!

still my favorite (so called musicvideo)-DEMO! Alex Evans(Statix): U RULE man! Vic: can you sing better today? if you sometime come back to the scene then please make another demo like this. this demo was very nice indeed! but vocals yeah a bit strange.. but still my favorite Demo!

if you want weird vocals try finding one of Chris Huelsbeck's songs where he sings ;-)

Activator: Vic is style active in the scene... nowadays he's making tunes for 3state mostly :)

argh... still active of course...

hm, I don't catch the 'mojo'.. but it has something nice... 8)

oh yes, the singalong party demo :)

the vocals start and all answers come to why we are somewhere in the middle of europe so far away from home in a damp smelly hall.

somebody find a way to get this to work under XP and I'll be happy :)

vic can't sing. period. =)
other than that it's a pretty neat demo, i still like to watch it these days.

Thumbs up.

one of my alltime favourites

one of my alltime favourites too

Running under Windows XP (kinda ;D) Fullsize and other snapshots (i'll be posting them periodically) here

One of the first (if not THE first) demos that included vocals.. and okay, I'm not gonna say anything about Vic's singing abilities, but the demo is overall very impressive, even without vic's voice.

hirmu did a vocal demo before that.
i think it was called hirmu-hau, or something like that;

someone from the hirmu-family correct me if i'm wrong.

the face !! :#)

I said it before and I'll say it again - it's crap, crap and nothing more. And that stupid singing is the worst thing in it. What a great 303....

WTF? Haven't commented on this masterpiece?
OWNZ0RZ!!!

gave me chills

The vocals are really not that good, but overall the demo is nice. Not one of my favourites, although it's a classic.

all stuff makes this great imo. classic imo

Um, I really haven't commented this one, can't believe it. :-o Anyway, it rules. I suddenly got the tune playing in my head, have to download.

This is just perfect.
Nice music by VIC, and Statix is the dude with the code.
Couldn't be better.

Love this one, although the singing is quite strange.

Love this one, although the singing is quite strange.

Having problems running this under XP?

Try going to Compatibility Mode it worked for me under xp.
Right click on the exe file go to properties
Click on the Compatibility tab on the top
Place a check mark in a older version of windows, Best choice 98 SE

Never knew windows xp offered this little trick, Thanks demomike, Now this dos demo
is purrin like a kitten.

One of my all time favourites...

This is definately part of my top 10 best computer demos of all time, with TOASTED ;°) $een ruled!

great

my all-time favourite pc demo. this is pc demo at its best! love!

303 vibes have just caught me too !

high party factor.. Hearing the lousy singing makes me want to drink beer. :)

after you've watched this masterpiece you can feel what does it mean: demo. an evergreen...

so what, the vocals are not the best ever, but a) they're cool, b) they're in tune, not like in some *other* demos and c) they fit the rest of the music piece.

and the graphics, and the energy... oh, what a fat prod!

Oh yeah!

Can blame me if you want, but i never liked this ...

I never commented on this? One of the greatest demos ever. There is just some special magic in it, even if the vocals are a bit strange.

The intro part of the music is sooooo cool. The demo has its ups and downs a bit after that - graphics and music-wise (vocals and lyrics are pretty cringey), but it's brilliant all the same.

This demo never really impressed me, and I still don't understand why its so wildly popular =)
Piggy here.

Kudos

Forgot to vote. /o\
Thx to Mindcandy, W32-emulation, Crest's demoshow and Nectarine of course I know this rocks. Too bad, It won't run with my GUS (sets IRQ always to 0).

good

anyone has the soundtrack to this one as mp3?

[scenemusic.net] has it. Original, remix, vocals...

not my favourite, but rulez anyway

I liked the face scene and music was nice too.

I HATE the music :)

statix <3

Quite possibly one of the best demos of all time. Simple as that. I don't know if Vic would like to have his ... lyrical talent ... remembered like this though ;)

I do not understand how anyone cannot like the music. The visuals are average, I think, but the music is great and fits perfectly! Great stuff.

Total pop (:

i remember to be late from school watching this demo over and over again. it's a masterpiece.

simply statix

Simply great!

lovely.

The music is quite good until the singing starts and then I burst out laughing! Really funny.

Demo has some ok routines, but as a whole is just some hacked together piece of junk.

Nice, damn dynamic+groove thing.
btw_ this was the first PC demo using videos?

My thumb. Where's my #@! thumb ?!

One of my ultimately favorites, it has this edge between being so hellishly stylish and being coder colors, but the first mentioned definitely wins. Great everything!

i finally saw it!! great stuff!! thx for the port

very nice

like it a lot

As stated above, a milestone.

Code ... is mathematics .... but code is also ... the dream !! the dream !!!

One of the first PC demos I saw. Very high "wow wtf is happening here?" Factor :)

"nothing is as hard as me... hiding in the dark you'll see... ... ."

...or something.

I LOVE the music :)

A masterpiece

^

classic

some clever bits.. but didn't love it

Deffinitly an interesting WTF experience.

Ugly as hell. I love it :D

coder colors \o/

Rules!

i L O V E this

Haha thumb up for the totally crappy vocals. :D Other than that, cool and weird demo! =) But those vocals haha I can't stop laughing, great entertainment for sure. :D

great.

Classic, maybe because of Vic singing that off.

Stinger...you like to torment yourself once in a while, eh ;)
I had terrible pain hearing that soundtrack

d0DgE: for REAL torture, check this one: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=16368 :D

Nicely varied demo. Not mad on the vocals.

Great classic. Coder colors ftw! ;)

I JUST HATE THE SINGING : )

Good PC classic.

For me,

best demo ever
I love ALL,the music,the sing,the code.

And,Vic + Statix were a HUGE couple.
BTW,this was 10 Years Ago.

I'm old.

i almost concur. one of my very favourite demos of all time (the awful singing even works in it's favour), but square beats it to "best demo ever". :)

The singing and video clips are real downers, the rest is fine..

What? Did I not thumb up this epic masterpiece yet?!

graphics and effects

classic

After 10+ years, still gives me that genuine "demo feeling".

nice

Nothing is as hard as me
Hiding in the dark you'll see
That every turn I take is passed
Every movement I'll be so fast

Chill like you never
feel like you never
live like you never
did before

Every moment will be lost
Only I can know the loss
I am pulling all the stream
I can make you groove with me

Chill like you never
feel like you never
live like you never
did before

Chill like you never
feel like you never
live like you never
did before

Chill like you never
feel like you never
live like you never
did before

Want you know what I control
I have power over your soul
At last you see that all I do
Can never be surpassed by you

Just too cool.. great effects & design, and the awful singing stops bothering you after a while :)

Great, but the singing makes you wanna vomit explosively

Actually, Vic did after recording the vocals =)
I remember he was fucking wasted, drunk & fucked up when he was singing it.

So, everybody who posted here that Vic can't sing. Correct! You're listening to a drunk singing.
:D

very nice

Damn great!

Great, although the drunken vocals made my ears bleed :D

Astonishing work.

A true classic, with well-executed effects and generally nice overall feeling. Music is unforgettable, though the vocal part always felt a bit .. contrived. But vocals are still something rather rare for demos, and were especially rare for that period. One other thing I remember about "303" is how it's so notoriously buggy and DOS version was difficult to get running on some machines. :)

late thumb

okay, I can see how the ammount of lyrics and the video sequences are revolutional for their time ... but the overall demo felt pretty thrown together. Piggie unless someone explains how this became a classic.

誕生日おめで{ 92;う!!!

STATIX!!!

(and Vic!)

rulez!

Another classic.!

i saw it a million times. it was, and still is, fucking amazing

Just reminded of this demo today. Silly vocals don't make this demo any less awesome. :)

one of the first pc demos I really liked - it was even published in a danish mainstream magazine for computer enthusiasts

bad singing, but the rest is nice

milestone

nice

Screw the robot with a spoon becuse it mings for earth!

oh:
+audio tick when the vocals start :)

i always thought this demo hasn't aged well and every time i watch it i get this bitter taste of the 90's in my mouth. but still i can see why it won and the direction/design is very impressive.

The visuals are some of the my stylish I've ever seen and the effects complement them perfectly, but argh that music!

Amazing. Maybe not the singing.

This is glorious. The uncanny combination of an upbeat song (that oozes teenage defiance) and the very demostyle visuals makes this a unique production.

a real gem from the past

It was the first one I heard with some singing and I'll love it for that.
"Unpacking Vocals"

Great demo!

Some nice effects. Thumb for first vocals.

masterpiece.
don't know why but i've never seen this demo before and i even own mindcandy 1.

btw i liked that music, even vocals.

not my cup of tea. oink

This is just horrible from the beginning to the very end.

who peed on your sukkermad today maytz?

nobody - it's just really REALLY bad :)

immortal!

rules. deserved an additional thumb up for nfo :D

Here's my late thumb up :)

Gawrddddammn I never thumbed this up? This demo has it all! Cringe worthy vocals, breakdancing HQN/Successes, Baller 48 hour code action, burned motherboards (2)

Classic!

everything that okkie said..

wow
had missed this at the time
underworld comes to mind

great!

i've put mustard on my joint!

I love it! Drunken singing FTW!

one of the best demos ever. love it.

loved it!

great classic.
does anyone have a lyrics.txt?

jco: you can always copy the lyrics from one of the comments above into a .txt file ;)

My eyes shine with the effects and design, but my ears bleed heavily because of those horrible vocals..

Seems i forgot to thumb up this gem, but the soundtrack really rules :)

Nothing is as hard as me...

In other words, serious masterpiece. Thanks MindCandy for good capture. I think.

Nice prod, music could be better though

It was hard to describe this when the art style and music evoked a rush of late 90's memories. Cohesive design and some of the effects were really cool. I liked the music a lot. The vocals gave it some nice edge.

nice... idk what to say about the music. It had soul and wasn't horrible :D

they don't do 'em like this anymore

It's cringe. it's brilliant. It's Scene history. Forever in our hearts. And I sing along every time I watch it ! :D

Yea I remember this had its heyday back then, properly executed visuals of the time plus Underworld-ish soundtrack. But what the hell was behind the title? To glorify that piece of junk shown at the end, x0x-hyped rompler MC-303?

Vic used the MC-303 for the soundtrack.

A true classic! Still running this on my DOS setup on a regular basis.

True classic! I watched it once again. Have my soon-27-years-late thumbs up
