• demo ZX Spectrum Elite VII by AAA Band
• Well, to be fair, some of the animations here did not come from Google.
  
  I do not like this particular demo because it is ugly. However, I do not understand the idea to "add two effects and be golden" either. I strongly believe that "no effects" is usually better than "crappy effects".

• Of course this rules. One of the first beeper demos of the modern era. Anyone can make beeper music today, using Beepola etc. This demo was made pre-Beepola, pre-rebirth of the Beeper scene. This WAS the rebirth of the Beeper scene.

• @TomoAlien, I do appreciate that this is 4 years later, but I think I have what you were asking. The software used to make digital tracks in this demo (Sample Tracker) supports, in addition to 1-bit output, the output to logarithmic 4-bit DACs found on 128K Spectrums. Now, it is a matter of discussion whether it would count as "high quality", but I am guessing it is higher quality:

  (check "Digital AY" versions of the tracks, as opposed to "Beeper" versions).

• @bonefish, you made it sound more negative than it was intended :)
  
  Most multicolour demos for classical Spectrum 128K won't work on Pentagon 128K either. The main problem is in different ULA timings and in the presence of slow memory. Pentagon makes life easier, not because it is marginally faster, but because the screen access does not generate additional wait cycles. Fixing this demo for classical Spectrum 128K will be (mostly) possible, but at the cost of pretty much re-writing many timing-sensitive codes.
  
  I am not aware of many classical Russian demos adopted to western Spectrums, but I do know that most important western multicolour demos (e.g. Shock etc) have been hacked to work correctly on Pentagons.

• demo ZX Spectrum kpacku by Kpacku
• @Preacher, no, this is intended for an unexpanded Pentagon 128K. Sadly, it won't work on a classical Spectrum 128K. 640K is a standard beta-disc image.

• demo ZX Spectrum kpacku by Kpacku
• The title of this demo translates into English as "Paints". Even this early sketch is cool, innovative and inspiring. The demo promises to be a bit cold and technical, however, it offers an insight into the future; shows the way for demos on Spectrum, and the future looks bright and colourful.

• This is an early sketch, alpha version, about 1/3 of the planned content, which was released to support the party. The full version will be longer and free of bugs. It is coming soon.

• Nice gfx, even if not 6912. My favourite is actually Vassa's.

• 64k Windows luma by Mercury [web]
• Absolutely loved it. The indirect approach, where instead of showing things, things are just suggested, it works great. Leaves space for the viewer's imagination. Plus, the sound track to die for.

• "Well, technology is a glittering lure. But there's the rare occasion when the public can be engaged on a level beyond flash, if they have a sentimental bond with the product. My first job, I was in-house at a fur company, with this old pro copywriter. Greek, named Teddy. And Teddy told me the most important idea in advertising is "new". Creates an itch. You simply put your product in there as a kind of... calamine lotion. But he also talked about a deeper bond with the product: nostalgia. It's delicate... but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, "nostalgia" literally means, "the pain from an old wound". It's a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn't a spaceship. It's a time machine. It goes backwards, forwards. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It's not called the Wheel. It's called a Carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels. Around and around, and back home again... to a place where we know we are loved."
  Matthew Weiner and Robin Veith (Mad Men, Season 1, "The Wheel").
