• demo Windows Kasparov by Elitegroup [web]
• I had a problem with my Radeon at first, too. But there should be a link to some kind of update here. A resolution selector and "enable anisotropic filtering" option would be nice, btw...
  
  About the demo design (since there are enough remarks about the technical aspect):
  Basically I see 9 parts: (1)intro/(2)fly-by/(3)acceleration/(4)break/(5)credits/(6)restart/(7)acceleration+fx/(8)"error"/(9)final fly. Kasparov is clearly very well thought up, but: Part 6 is most likely the one which causes the "bad design" comments, since there is not enough new stuff to make it interesting. It gets somewhat more interesting again in part 7 and 8, but part 9 could be much more effective - and thereby shape the overall impression - if those parts(6,7 and 8), as well as part 2 and 3 were shorter. Instead, part 4 should be a bit longer as it has many unique and very interesting scenes with an excellent soundtrack. The animation of the spiders in part 2 synchronized with the beat is a good effect but it would be more effective if that synchronized drum-instrument would start together with this scene. Furthermore, since there are no other animated scenes outside part 4, it falls out of place.
  The music generally fits very well to this 9-parts concept, and enforces the good as well as the bad sides of Kasparov's design.

• The lyrics are about the idea of afterlife. That idea is not limited to christianity at all. The intro starts with someone being born, then shows images in the background of children, then grown-ups, then old people. The ocean as the last scene is a nice symbol for the "final" destination.
  There are only a few other productions with such well thought up lyrics and content.

• Music is neither good nor bad, but some visual effects, e.g. the one with the face, are very good.

• The rhythm of the music sounds screwed up, but the E-tom is excellent, and so are most other sounds!
  All in all very good for 4k.

• What are the lyrics supposed to mean by the way?
  And I totally agree with everything TS said (except it is "an ordinary" instead of "a" :)

• Most things that can be said about the "winnerdemo" can be said about this production as well.

• Finally an intro with focus on sound after stoerfall... Considering that "Industrial Light and Magic" is still ranked 1st with noone thumbing it down for its "music", this should get no thumbs down for its visual part.
  Speechsynth in 4k is great!
