                  Hello Dear!
For the next 6404 bytes you will need to communicate only with 
me, ie with Scratcher'om. The theme for the upcoming 
discussion, I chose (though as always) the music, although if 
put exact - music demonstrations. I will touch on several issues

associated with different directions, trends
existing at present. It would be nice of course
try to analyze the patterns of development of music
ie in other words it would be simper to our speakers
a year later, although it probably will be the theme for our
the next call.
Just recently, we have, and perhaps in all, a new
soft among whom there are demos with Enlight in 1997! I do not 
know how to who, but for me it is truly the coolest event, it is

was the reason for writing this text. I
reviewed all available in my new demos, but they are only 6: (
I would like of course osushestvit global search of all demos
software, but for now have to settle for what we have: (
Some instances, of course, very impressive, although
is not entirely successful works (in my opinion). A failure
explains the first clearly "left" music. accompaniment.
(This assumption is expressed not only me). Exception
is, perhaps, a track from Shit4Brains (Progress). Track
really cool! In principle, the other could not be,
because, as you know, Mic and Ksa shit do not write, but here
Digital Reality, this time as a lohanulsya! (I
mean just music). As we know music makes 50% (in
some cases 100%) demos. Effects can not be
exist without the music, and music with no effects and therefore
track should be special, not necessarily cool or
clever, the main thing - it's his ability to create
mood, a certain atmosphere in which the effects of
would look truly awesome. In other words music
should be in harmony with everything else - text, graphics,
effects! It is this harmony creates something cool jitteriness,
that arises when you look masterpieces such as Mental
Masturbation, Brain Crash, Brain Surgery, Eye Ache ...
Each of these we shall have its own special style and
accordingly their distinctive music, graphics, effects,
therefore, for example, demos Imp'a not be confused with 
anything else. 

As for Enlight, I expected more. To the effect
chart I have no complaints, well, that's diversity
music is not enough. In fact, there is still not entirely clear.
Firstly, as mentioned above, I do not have yet all the work
(For example, can not see Code Busters'ov ...). As far as I know
should be about five drives, but I have only one: (And
Second, while this is my purely personal opinion and it is 
desirable to hear your opinion. Not necessarily write only 
about the music write about everything!


By the way, have you noticed that demah completely absent 
Digital, but gained strength attr, two or more bitplanovye 
effects. Subject to change everything or almost everything. 'So

write, whether you like it or not. I would have been 
interesting and even useful to hear the views of working 
people. It is not secret that will soon be our second deme, 
followed by likely to be followed by the third, fourth, fifth 
... Was would be very helpful, to know which direction the 
music in you demah predpochitete etc. For example, our third 
deme will be quite unlike in our previous and more is unlike 
anything that is on the Speccy. Perhaps we move away from all 
standards I may say so untie his hands, feet, ears ... As

will look like the result of such violent emancipation in all
way I do can not imagine, although
at least it will be interesting to see!

Well, now let's talk about the most important. Do you like 
stylish demos? (Stylish demos - it's demos with the style). I 
am! Under style, of course, can mean different things. In most

yuzersky interpretation of styling - it zrelischnost.Tak here,
been wanting to ask a very indelicate question: IS THERE
STYLE THAT DO WE? Answer: There is right! I
I will not dispute the question whether there is a style in our 
first TRASNe work, but with full confidence I can say

that in our new Deme - is all that is needed and not needed!
We can say that this is our second attempt to develop his own
own style or, so to speak, and, Midge.
The direction in which it was (a) Condommed define quite
not easy, for example, I would have attributed to a mixture
offhand-techno-trance in different proportions, which is very
unusual, although such surprises waiting for you, not only in
terms of music, but also text and graphics. We try not to
repeat anything (due to their capacity), despite
the fact that recently there has been a clear trend
limited to a certain set of standard phrases,
effects, graphics. Of course it is everyone's business, what 
and how insert, but such a loop minimizes

the idea demostroeniya. It's a shame that this trend
touched, and music. An example is the massive
"Otehnichivanie" only what only you can and can not. Techno
can be attributed to one of the most spectacular areas
but the technology must also be able to do, and do it
professonalno as delayut like Progress, VAV, IMP. From
The few I have viewed dem only a few can be
attributed to this technology, otherwise there are some
mutations are intractable to any analysis. It's not even 
themselves effects or music, and in the mood. Wrong way

go, comrades!

On this optimistic note, perhaps I will finish today
discussion, especially since you probably already utuhli. Extend
next time, unless of course you want, what you
I will certainly tell!

P.S.
All of the above with respect to dem and demostroeniya is
purely my personal opinion, not pertenduyuschim on any
objectivity, so do not call me and does not prove to
foaming at the mouth that I supposedly Loch nichrome not 
understand this art, as they say the taste and color lamer not.
