• demo Linux MS-Dos Windows Tribes by Pulse [web] & Melon [web]
• Damn.. no comments? I just had a talk with a friend of mine of all time demos that have had a big impact not only to the scene but also personally. Tribes definitely was a big hit at TP7, so much ahead of its time. Great mood and 3d.

• demo Windows Sweet Home Under Synthetic Clouds by Cocoon [web]
• Miles and yards better than the Kakiarts retro-bag, but doesn't hit the right buttons for me. Where as Coma (on the dancefloor) was mostly pure excellence, this one seems incoherent - different scenes put together and music that rocks on its own but doesn't really fit with the 3d. Perhaps the graphics and soundtrack were made separated, resulting into this?
  
  Nevertheless thumbs up for the best demo from Evoke (albeit I haven't seen the FR one yet :).

• Smash, you definitely shouldn't change your style. It's not about that at all. What comes to recycling stuff, everyone does that anyways (what someone commented about graffiti / growing effects). In fact, the visual side of the demo was varying from good stuff (tm) to mind-blowing.
  
  But you may take it to account if various people say it felt disconnected and incoherent in places, there's a reason for that kind of comments. Actually it never even crossed my mind it was ment to be a "tv-like channel switching" direction. Funny thing that Hoplite just commented about the same thing (although with opposite opinion), as he was definitely the master in this kind of direction with various Orange demos in the past. Perhaps you should get him in for the next release. :)
  
  To me it was the direction that dropped this demo from a winning position to 3rd place. Maybe that's just a matter of taste, but:

  you still havent seen even 25% of what this team of artists (+ a token coder running around trying to stop them breaking the tools, and squeeze in an effect now and again) is capable of, i can promise you that.

  
  
  I'll keep my fingers crossed then... Perhaps that one will be something we all have been waiting for. Keep reachin' up!

  Please run on real hardware if possible. Pretty much any flash adapter able to run homebrew application is good enough, and also booting with wmb works. If you must use an emulator (not recommended), try No$gba: http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm

• Ryg stated already what I had in my mind.
  
  I also realized perhaps my gripe with Fairlight demos lately comes from mixing realistic looking scenes together in a sense that doesn't make sense. In more abstract style demos you don't mind if there's no connection between the parts, but more realistic approach would require some kind of storyline.
  
  It looks really awesome in places. The soundtrack is brilliant as well. Also, works better for me than Halfsome, so here's your thumb. :)

• demo Windows Lifeforce by Andromeda Software Development [web]
• ASD demoreel 2007. That's how I felt after seeing this one - a "best of" collection of what ASD has done during the years. The direction is so good that you don't even mind that the demo is a miasmah of all kinds of different styles and parts that normally wouldn't fit together at all. I think this lot of the magic both aMusic on the keyboard and Navis as a programmer provide constantly from a demo to another.
  
  While improving almost every aspect from Planet Risk and Iconoclast, in the future I'd hope to see more of your innovative style such as almost every other demo releases have been in between these Assembly epochs.
  
  Well, a worthy winner. Congrats, guys!
