Technically, this demo was really awesome, including some new effects that have not been seen before (elastic vector spline, ). The classical screen (plasma, glenz vector) are superb, and music is fantastic. 20 years after, I'm still impressed by the talent of Crionics & Silents !
Pure brilliance! The way the music and video sync is impeccable, probably only equalled by Kefrens 'Desert Dream'. I remember playing this on my Amiga and being blown away by the pure genius of this whole demo. Loved it, still love it!!
I'm an atheist, but if there's any proof of a God, this is it. And His name is "Crionics & The Silents". I've fiddled with assembler and vector gfx and shit in my life but never came close to producing anything like this on an Amiga. I bow to these guys! And the music still makes me shiver. Just. Freaking. Awesome!
Absolutely a Masterpiece ! ... Jesper is a special musician, his musics in games like Hitman, Freedom Fighters, Assasins Creed, Borderlands etc. are also brilliant
This demo made me & my Amiga purr like a kitten... this and many others like it are timeless pieces of electronic art... and i stand in awe not only of the work itself but of the talent & dedication in bringing us these pixel perversions for our entertainment.
WOW I remember this, its strange how its never ever came into my mind since back then yet as soon as I see it , it all comes back to me like i am back in 1991 These guys had some talent, there would need to be a team of 50 to pull something off today to impress on this level, like these guys did in 1991.
This is THE demo I remember when I think of the Amiga demo scene. The music is awesome and the innovative effects are all put together perfectly, it is very innovative.
Totally great!! This guys just burning the modern brain! So old computers and so cool visual effects on it! And the classic Kyd`s techno music just incredible! It`s clearly reminds me the great retro masterpieces like a "Sub-Terrania" and "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" video games for the SEGA Mega Drive 2 (Genesis). HOW and WHY some of the people dislike THIS??!!
beginning of the new multimedia age. It was in 1990. With an Amiga 500 computer that was possible. Even today, the music of Jesper something special for me .... Spektaktuläre graphics. Maybe I was just lucky enough to experience the beginning of a new era. AMIGA ... was the beginning ... and we will follow:-))))
@FayeKane You're right - that toilet demo is not realtime, just playing back the frames in a convenient loop - this was pretty popular back (looped ray traced anims) then since it was quite an achievement to actually ray trace something that looked half decent (as everyone was working on Amiga's for their raytracing software)
you just don't anything that comes close to this quality, and any platform now adays. Awesome music, mesmerising graphics.... Simply breath taking,,, The amiga is timeless
The track on this demo still holds its own... Bravo.... and its ubelievable that they packed this thing onto 2 0,7 Mb floppys... THE demo in my head. Just a spectacular piece of work. :D Still have my old Amiga actually...:)
yeah, 17 years I've probably made about 20 people watch this back in the day all the time watching it with them and observing their reactions. amazing :)
I remember how mind-blowing this was when it was released, and it still is. I think the music borrows parts from Panther by David Whittaker on the C64.
Awesome demo I even remembered this, 2 disks and so (some demo with cool dark spacestuff and so...) didn't need more. Still huge thanks and respects for makers and 4 capture, very good quality.
imo this was the best of the best on the amiga demo scene, nothing touched it. You're just finished going "shit look at that!" and it rocks on into another amazing routine, and then another, all accompanied by superb dark music by Jesper Kyd. Notice the credits...nearly every routine done by or contributed to by "The Spy" - That guy was serious and knew how to code that hardware! Would love to know what the team that worked on this are doing now? Thanks for the memories :-)
Thanks for sharing! Love the Amiga ! Still have my A4000 040/25 MHz w/ Emplant Pro board/ Retina Z3 /4 MB Video Card. Reading Steve Jobs autobio book - too bad we did not have someone like Steve pushing the Ami because internally it was a way better machine than the original Macintosh.
Flash back... the music is still with me today.. Love this demo.. Respect in every department. To bad the audio is out of sync. Think i have this on floppys at my mom & dads hous - along with my A500
the best example how u can put quality programming on minimal space. and all based on amazing designed hardware! .... i want the good old times back. *sigh ...when we would have today the hardware more expansive, we would see much better programming work. a good example are gaming - consoles. its amazing what the programmers made for games, based on a p3 and geforce3 on the xbox1.... but just my thinking.
I remember Amiga... I owned All the models, from A1000 to A4000T... even the Amiga CD32 I made some awesome music and demos on it! I'd wish Amiga, Would be back! I miss you Amiga!!!! :-)
I still can't wrap my head around that Hardwired was only 2nd behind Alcatraz' super boring Odyssey demo at The Party. There must have been an error in counting the votes... Hardwired still rules today!

Jesper Kyd's music in this demo is phenomenal!
Jesper Kyd's music is phenomenal period :D
It's partly a cover of Ben Daglish's music to the Commodore C64 game, 'Panther'.
cool
@@artstatedigital It's a worthy cover. Never came across it, didn't have an Amiga. :-(

+1
+Maik Sterling indeed. and the Kyd's music just blow you away... best enjoyed while drunk.
THE BEST AMIGA DEMO EVER MADE
This demo made me & my Amiga purr like a kitten... this and many others like it are timeless pieces of electronic art... and i stand in awe not only of the work itself but of the talent & dedication in bringing us these pixel perversions for our entertainment.
This has to be in my top 10 fav/most technical demos ever on the Amiga! Silents rule!
I just love the design how the demo goes on from part to another.
This blew my mind when I first saw it. The penultimate Amiga demo....
WOW I remember this, its strange how its never ever came into my mind since back then yet as soon as I see it , it all comes back to me like i am back in 1991 These guys had some talent, there would need to be a team of 50 to pull something off today to impress on this level, like these guys did in 1991.
It's still fricken brilliant!
When this was released its was so cool, it still is today.
This is THE demo I remember when I think of the Amiga demo scene. The music is awesome and the innovative effects are all put together perfectly, it is very innovative.
i remember being blown away by this demo, and the morph 4:42 my jaw was on the floor. pure magic. :)
This was always my favorite demo and still is. The music is really epic - the whole demo is. I still have it on my old Amiga.
Possibly the best demo ever on amiga.
the best of all - still
I still remember when I saw the Hardwired logoo transform into the wireframe box. My jaw dropped.
Epic soundtrack...
Totally great!! This guys just burning the modern brain! So old computers and so cool visual effects on it! And the classic Kyd`s techno music just incredible!

HOW and WHY some of the people dislike THIS??!!
best 2d amiga demo by far. very original effects done in a really clever way, accompanied by one of the best demo soundtracks ever
Amazing demo! When I recived this through the post I just knew this was going to be amazing! Long live Crionics, Silents and of course the Amiga!
beginning of the new multimedia age. It was in 1990. With an Amiga 500 computer that was possible. Even today, the music of Jesper something special for me .... Spektaktuläre graphics.

to rewelacja!!!! klimat i muza Jesper Kyd zajebiste
SOOO GOOD!!! Amiga forever!
my absolute favorit demo ever.
Jesper Kyd! Awesome guy. He made most of the music in Borderlands 2 and they damn awesome too!
Jesper Kyd was my hero when I was a kid. Now I remember why.
@FayeKane You're right - that toilet demo is not realtime, just playing back the frames in a convenient loop - this was pretty popular back (looped ray traced anims) then since it was quite an achievement to actually ray trace something that looked half decent (as everyone was working on Amiga's for their raytracing software)
that shadow vector effect is amazing
you just don't anything that comes close to this quality, and any platform now adays. Awesome music, mesmerising graphics.... Simply breath taking,,, The amiga is timeless
Great visual design!
awesome demo !!
This is scene history.
Great Amiga Demo!!!
excellent demo
The track on this demo still holds its own... Bravo.... and its ubelievable that they packed this thing onto 2 0,7 Mb floppys... THE demo in my head. Just a spectacular piece of work. :D Still have my old Amiga actually...:)
Jesper Kyd's music was and still is awesome.
Indeed :) On his Wikipedia page there's a complete list of all his scores for games, movies, short films, TV series, and trailers.
i remember... i had received this release via swap!... good old amiga dayz...
yeah, 17 years I've probably made about 20 people watch this back in the day all the time watching it with them and observing their reactions. amazing :)
I remember how mind-blowing this was when it was released, and it still is. I think the music borrows parts from Panther by David Whittaker on the C64.
It sure does.
Jesper Kyd was born with some serious Rob Hubbard DNA.
Fantastic....
I was one of those people. My Atari ST has since been recycled. Last week I bought an Amiga.
I love my Amiga 4000 so much
unreal demo
Awesome demo I even remembered this, 2 disks and so (some demo with cool dark spacestuff and so...) didn't need more. Still huge thanks and respects for makers and 4 capture, very good quality.
Epic, of course.
Remember being impressed by this one back in the days.
3 people click "wrong" button because they can't open this great demo without BLUESCREEN :P
imo this was the best of the best on the amiga demo scene, nothing touched it. You're just finished going "shit look at that!" and it rocks on into another amazing routine, and then another, all accompanied by superb dark music by Jesper Kyd.

It's actually pretty funny that the guy who made the music for this demo (Jesper Kyd) also made the music for the Hitman games :)
Awesome!!!!
some of the demo looks awesome enough to be a game intro
best of the best
+xsanchezz GREAT but no.1 DESERT DREAMS ;)
Animation of toilet at 2:56 was also used in ZX Spectrum demo "OVER THE TOP"
@hankillo1 I agree, It was definitely far ahead of its time.
all time classic
1:04 that synth theme is pain and passion, dark yet grinning
Thanks for sharing! Love the Amiga ! Still have my A4000 040/25 MHz w/ Emplant Pro board/ Retina Z3 /4 MB Video Card. Reading Steve Jobs autobio book - too bad we did not have someone like Steve pushing the Ami because internally it was a way better machine than the original Macintosh.
@metamour Because it's sample-reduced at the end of the TRON-intro, making it sound low-fidelity.. like the Amiga samples of the time :)
awesome music!
Flash back... the music is still with me today.. Love this demo.. Respect in every department. To bad the audio is out of sync. Think i have this on floppys at my mom & dads hous - along with my A500
i remember this and the awesome music
моя любимая демка, в 1994 году сто раз пересматривал.
Only on the Amiga!!!
So nostalgic to me..I remember thinkin ,Wow! how powerful is the Amiga.
nice memories :)
This music piece has a couple of original parts, but mostly it seems to be conversion of Panther by David Whittaker on C64.
topissimo
...and effect at 5:30 was also reused in ZX Spectrum demo "Action" (from one of Enlight demoparties) :-)
Fuckin awesome! Best demo music I have ever heard in my life. Jesper Kyd rulez!
I just commented on desert dreams.. hard to say wich music is what.. both are epic
7m20s still amizing
Sick... 5/5.
_- AMIGA 4 EVER -_
My second Amiga Demo!
That was when I became a fan a Jesper Kyd. :-)) (And the Amiga of course. :-))
@gnuochtapir, this soundtrack was composed by David Whittaker in '86 I guess. The fact is that Jesper's version is the best!:-)
The spinning 3D box with shadowing was quite good considering it's being done on a 7MHz computer. The maths behind that bit is kind of complicated.
Nice panther implementation ;)
These were the days...
Nostalgia…
Today, this is my favorite. :)
@hankillo1 we must all thank Jay Miner's awesome team! :)
Good old times.
@hankillo1 Indeed, unfortunately most of possibilities it gave were used only after 90's.
8-bit sampled sound with analog filters.
the best example how u can put quality programming on minimal space. and all based on amazing designed hardware! .... i want the good old times back. *sigh ...when we would have today the hardware more expansive, we would see much better programming work. a good example are gaming - consoles. its amazing what the programmers made for games, based on a p3 and geforce3 on the xbox1.... but just my thinking.
I remember Amiga... I owned All the models, from A1000 to A4000T...
even the Amiga CD32
I made some awesome music and demos on it!
I'd wish Amiga, Would be back! I miss you Amiga!!!! :-)
i second the Skaven/FC reference ;)
JESPER KYD masakrator!! do dziś!!! AMiga Rulez!!
Jesper Kyd
I still can't wrap my head around that Hardwired was only 2nd behind Alcatraz' super boring Odyssey demo at The Party. There must have been an error in counting the votes... Hardwired still rules today!
Desert Dream, Technological Death and Hardwired Rulezzzzzz !
The copyright notice at 10:36 says MCMIXC for 1991. It should say MCMXCI.
GLENZ VECTORS! I remember that peeing the pinnacle of 3d back then :)
Ho man, these guys were the masters. How did they do that twisty verticle scrolly?
