Nice to see this again. It is crazy some of the things you find these days. I remember watching this on my 486 at the time. Inspired me to search for my two favorite ansi groups iCE and ACiD. You can still download the old packs.

I think games and demo music are the origins of the today's electronic music scene. Growing up in 8 and 16 bits sounds like this... sound channels from 1 to a lot of... After the built in sounds of the Videoton TV computer (in Hungary) the famous C64 and Amiga there are soundcards from Adlib, through Gravis... we allways heard music's like this! It's not a wonder that today we do the same but it's now called electronic trance, dance etc. music

Watching these demos back in '93 I couldn't grasp the complexity of the code behind it. Only recently I tried to program DirectX for a business application and then I realized how complex it is to code 3D from scratch. Unfortunately most of these guys ended writing banking or similarly boring applications for insanely bureaucratic software houses.

Man, I miss those days so much. I was getting into tracking/demos the last few years of the High Desert BBSing scene.Future Crew was, is, and will always be, utter win.

Yeah, this brings back memories... I think I was running this on a 486 at the time (from memory).

No longer available?! That's crap. This video was awesome, and I LOVED being able to watch it regularly without booting DOS.
