Red Sector Inc with a great demo from 1990 that also happens to have one the most memorable soundtracks of it's time - Cream of the Earth by Romeo Knight.
Released at CeBIT Demo Competition 1990 - Ranked:1st - บันเทิง
2023 and still one of the best tunes :)
The Rolling Stones band is some old fashioned band of a bygone era on a dukebox in a pub somewhere. Thats how I saw it when this came out on the amiga. Now I love the Rolling Stones and think just how advanced this band was way back when.
Romeo Knight (Eike Steffen) sure made some absolute timeless classic tracks.
Soundtrack still kicks ass ... after 23 years!
And now it's 30ish years!!! Time flies:)
@@magiske Still good:)
Your comment is nine years old at this point. And I still seek it.
The guy who made this comment died 4 years ago.... but the music still sounds great
My absolute favourite demo on the Amiga, I just adore that timeless, epic music and the jaw-dropping 3D graphics (well, they were back then)
28 years ago and so next level back then. It‘s been a long time. Can‘t believe it...
I remember making an extended 12” version of this on Noisetracker!
I followed the Amiga scene religiously and this was one of my favourite demos =)
Fondly remembered by many Wendy, classic!
Here here. I've still got RK's tune in my regular playlist in the car and on the comp!
Wendy, this demo was my inspiration for both music and coding
Why followED? The scene still exists. demozoo.org/productions/?platform=5&production_type=
One of my most treasured demo memories from way back.. Killer music!!
Seeing this now it looks basic but back then it was cutting edge graphics. Blitter objects, lightsourced vectors, all old hat but mind blowing at the time. God I miss those days so much...
Me too ...
What is amazing to me is not only the result but that it was made on hardware from 1987 (that was prototyped around 1984 - imagine seeing this shit 1-2 years after the C64 was released ;D) - THAT is incredible. Then consider how demos looked in 1987 with the release of the A500 and then consider the rate of change 1987-1990 and then throughout the 90:ies. All the new render techniques, the introduction of 3D elements and dynamic lighting, fast blitting and texture mapping techniques and such. The late 80:ies and early 90:ies and onwards was truly an amazing time to be alive, just looking at the rate of technological progress and the progress of demo artistry.
I met some members of RSI at a demoparty once. Really nice guys. :)
The demo didn't age well but the music is immortal!
Music reminds me of Jan Hammer and maybe it is without me knowing it?
amazing tune...
Cream Of The Earth
I feel really bad about the fact that i missed out on the goldena era of the Amiga (i was born in the mid 80s). But i´m slowly trying to make up for that lost time ;)
Thanks for uploading this btw =)
Your most welcome and it's never to late to see & hear all the old Amiga treasures. You can find a cleaner capture of this one at th-cam.com/video/O8Yd1mZqvyI/w-d-xo.html
Thank you =) Hehe, and to play em ;) Oh, thanks! I´ll give it a go =)
It was such an amazing and inspirational time, the happiest time of my life in fact. Best thing I ever did was getting an Amiga 500. The memories live on.
goosebumps listening to this again
Advanced as hell at the time :)
Yep, and all running on a 7.14Mhz, not Ghz but Mhz, motorola 68000 CPU!
2023, 30 yrs later, waking up SO MANY memories 😢🎉😂
Takes me 23 years back or so....
i was 16.........lol........still my favourite computer!!!!!
For me it's still cool, and the tune is awesome.
Love the Amiga =)
This is one of the cases where I first heard the music and only later found it was a demo soundtrack. ;)
We can recognize the author of the also wonderful Phenomena Megademo's music :-)
I never really followed the amiga scene, but this is nice. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the video..
Great demo, great tune
This demo was the inspiration for much of my subsequent coding and music, good one!
Is it Vaper , Boy ? !
@@kaibrost1931 No I don't know what you mean :)
Vaperboy instead of Waperboy ? ?
Uno dei miei demo favoriti per il mio commodore amiga
I have 2 playlists I listen to almost daily: C64 & Amiga. 'Nuff said. Never played the games back in the day, just loved the demos for their technical prowess, but really the music...
🎶
Would you mind sharing? Always after new gems and nostalgia.

Yep. The same guys developed the Demomaker for Data Becker.
Good Old Times....
btw... the building "Data Becker" did'nt exist anymore. The Company closed the doors few years before.
Demo Maker Was Greatest Invention Ever !!!!!! Bigger Than Red Sector Circle Scrolling !!! !!!
coding, design and music just perfect.
Color extra visual effective and good sound also animation design for small info-art form. Ok.😮😐😙☺
Coders got a hell of a lot more skilled throughout the years... but this tune is pure inspiration and talent !
Ufff, from good times
This is the jam!
Romeo Knight is an F'in Genius. To be able to create such advanced and intelligent music from, let's face it, extremely limited sound production software. I would rather listen to this than the shite they play on Radio 1.
I used to do tracker music at the time (I was in another demo group), and I remember ripping out the MOD for this and analysing the phasing effects and how he interleaved multiple instruments on the same channel (if I remember the stabs and the bass were on the same channel, and all the percussion on another) and it was absolutely masterful. Not only great composition but incredible technical ability in terms of working with the sound hardware. One of the best MODs ever made.
Did he make anything else good?
...podobalo mi sie wtedy i teraz tez......dobra muza od poczatku....
Super shouts!
Cool Stuff... we liked this very much .. IVAN of the special brothers .. much fun with the 2nd Place ... no never not this 3D so far at this early point of assembler dev. on AMIGA ... see ya RED SECTOR and fuck TriStar for sure my deers .. yours IVAN/tsb ...
You can move the mouse to control stuff in the Demo. :)
the beggining of the music sound like a slower version of phenomena enigma
The Amiga is the spiritual successor to the Atari 800, as it was designed by the same guy, and has a 'feel' to it.
Commodore bought the Atari design that became the Amiga, right?

Brilliant, GE, thank you for the elucidation!

Was it the same group that released the Demo maker?
Red Sector is That !

It’s crazy what Romeo Knight could get out of Soundtracker! And Delta’s coding here was just incredible back then, we were all in complete disbelief! But there was another even better coder, TIP (The Invincible Power), a really young guy, pure genius... Those were the days... Copy parties after CEBIT, oh my word 😂😂
TIP, coder? please name or link me a demo he coded.... :)
TIP was a musician in Phenomena - and on the top of charts 91-92. Especially after Enigma was released.
@@ulriksundby6208 Dude, it’s over 30 years now, and since I was a musician back then and knew and know nothing about coding, I have no clue what demos he worked on and if he’s in the credits somewhere. But I remember him clearly and his insane skills, and that he was part of TRSI.
@@teamracewerk_com9985 hmmm can not see his handle or as a member of TRSi on demozoo either or anything.
Weird to not 'know nothing about coding' still claiming a persons insane coding skills(?) Could his handle be Tic or Tap? (demozoo)
I'm a former scener and member of Andromeda, Anarchy and Lemon and been to 10 copyparties.
@@ulriksundby6208 He coded live in Hannover, there was a contest with a time limit, and what the others did was nice stuff and he shelled out morphing vector graphics like no one had seen before. I mean, when 200+ guys go nuts over a short demo, chances are he‘s done something right.
someone put a thumbs down? seriously
Why you monitize other peoples work?
I'm going to be a little controversial here. In many ways this is actually a bit weak, and lends some argument to the whole Atari ST vs Commodore Amiga debate. There are plenty of demos on the Atari that featured 3D modeling like this. But the difference is the Amiga had hardware scrolling and a superior sound chip. So even producing a smooth scrolling non-distorting 1-3 bit plane scrolling message such as this took a ridiculous amount of processor time and tricks like logical and physical screens with two offset 8 pixel scrollers because bit rotation was too time consuming. Honestly with kick ass hardware scrolling and a great sound chip (compared to a three channel POS that the Atari had), this demo screen seems a bit lazy in the grand scheme of things.
Take this screen: th-cam.com/video/ABxs5TcrCWg/w-d-xo.html
Released just one year later than this Red Sector demo and accomplishing this without a dedicated hardware scrolling chip, while removing screen borders in a manner that was thought to be impossible.
Sometimes I just wonder if the extra hardware made Amiga programmers a bit lazier :P
I have seen the scrolling demo you have pointed out and indeed on Atari st this was very impressive especialy when you know its limitation in this matter. On Amiga making the same effect was very easy as chipset was doing all the job So i dont know where did you get the info the scrolling in this demo was cpu consuming. It wasnt and all free cpu time is dedicatex to complex impressive 3d object manipulation. Yes i know there are impressive 3d demos on Atari st but not as complicated and smooth.
