Demos with soul (not the music)
category: general [glöplog]
Some demos have amazing gfx, others music that you cannot stop listening to. There are productions that have extremely strong scenes that you'll never forget. Among all these, there are some demos that have soul. I would like to see a list here with the demos you beleve that have this "feature".
I'll make the start with Hyperventillation by Byterapers

Heaven7!
Equinox "sota 2004 invitation" gave me the oldschool feeling back in perfect way!! :)
1995
"Keiserns nye effekt" by Boozoholics
"please the cookie thing" from Aardbei
Heaven7, indeed a perfect example
"antimoney" by threestate
"Rob is Jarig" by Aardbei
"boogie factor" fairlight
"Caero", "into the dark", "empty", "sea robot of love", "dawn", "nation zero 2" or "h+"... Take a pick. Heaven 7 is awesome too, but not like the others...

http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=7084 this demo has more soul than diana ross
there are many "soul classics" that i could name, from hardwired and verses to the ballet dancer and 1995.
but i'd like to mention basically everything from CPU (zx) and FLT swedish c64 division. and also single works by skrju (zx) like "father" and "fuck you scene".
and on the pc side, kolor from "herbst77" to "relais", as well as their "varus"/"gracchus" 4k series. and definetely the 4ks and 64ks by ethos9 and funk. this is the soul of the pc demoscene for me.

vati
paper, square and 303 (statix has soul)
halcyon in general i'd say - not only h+, but also saint, into the dark (!) and even chimera (even though i don't like the latter :)
statix: *especially* his more recent works i'd say: tom thumb and staying pictures.
"poison ivy" by exceed. "kkowboy" by purple+blasphemy, also "moral hard candy" by blasphemy. "te-2rb" by tpolm. "metamorf"+"incyber" by satori. "medium" by einklang. "heart shaped box" by melwyn. "super luxus lemmen paketti", "fortnight", "predator", "the ballet dancer" and "deities" by mfx. "kolonija" by kosmoplovci and "messiah" by minimalanimal. "trocken" and"perfect love" by bauknecht/lkcc. "captive" by asd. "protozoa" and "aesterozoa" by kewlers.
and also (yeah, "selfvoting", blah...) "fr-038: theta" by farbrausch. can't put my finger on it, but something makes me want to watch it at least once a month. my favourite among the prods i was involved in :)

ryg: Interesting. Theta is one of my favourite demos and I can't understand why! It's the combination that just makes it perfect I guess.. :-)
