                  and l and                   
       "bourgeois" also love demos...       
                                          
   While all progressive  ppl
was preparing  to FUNTOP, a number of remaining
West  amateurs  Spectrum also  decided
hang out at the demo party. The guys from K3L,
who were  on  E'97, apparently told
to their Western colleagues about how much Russian
Chinese they drink  and how they do it in ex-USSR
party.  Apparently, that’s why the bourgeoisie decided not to
spend money on a trip to a distant place and
disgusting Russia, but to conduct your own local
(from the word  "to lap") demo party, and nowhere
some in  Amsterdam, and in simple Czech
town of Doksy...

NOTE:       Some  people  can think 50 ppl
            is  пот  much,  but it was the
            biggest  party  ever  here  in
            Czechia.  For  us,  50  ppl is
            very very good rating :) There

So, what can be said about the "bur-
zhuysky" demos... This is a matter, of course, for everyone
beater!  For example, I’m in awe of them, but
our  viewer,   (from) raised  on SЧB.
FOREVER  and REFRESH. such an action can
do not  understand.  Anyway, look at
It's worth working with DOXYCON, since their auto-
ry  think  several  other categories
than ours,  local  demomaker.  And how from-
it is known that any non-standard thinking is acceptable
painstakingly studying, repeating and imitating...

So-so  demo... A lot of unnecessary conversion
chenny  graphics, some kind of  left animation
"RIrnated"  from an unknown toy! However
fullscreen scroll at the beginning of the conversion demo
these pictures by B. Valedzhi - cool. Particularly
but  if consider that this is all48K ONLY!
The name itself is very strong, but the work is
but it doesn’t justify him. It's a pity...

Very correct demo - could have been higher
place  take. "Circles on the water" in the very center
they simply kill with their simplicity and speed
height.  In  in general, the demo is solid, recommended
sulking for viewing with the family.

Work  from  organizersDOXYCON - E.S.A.
Well, since it’s from the organizers, then everything is possible...
As a result, the demo lasts for 22 minutes! I
I think  that this is an absolute record for the longest

the nuts and bolts of the demo.  This is even “tighter” than
CYBER  DREAM with E'97.  However, not everyone

Oh wow! Here  this is a dema, so a dema! In short,
 если  кто  вспомит,   была
 такая  вещь  как INSANE от
 этой   же  самой  команды.
 Между   прочим,  именно  в
 INSANE'е впервые появились
 и  ATTR  FLAME  и VOXELS и
 even FRACTAL ZOOM. In short
 INSANE  was classic
 demuhoy! HIGHER STATE -
this is a worthy continuation. Coefficient
The similarity of  these works is approximately the same as that of EYE
ACHE part 1&2, like the "Metallica" albums
Load/Reload, in short, twin brothers!     
                                          
From  the coolest part I want to mention is the part with
planets  and space. Cool idea, no
I doubt that it will be copied and
implemented at a fundamentally new level
our  demomakers. The strongest sound is
fills the impression!  Well, when you realize
You know that all this works from 48 kV then...
(disc version from Diver/4D works fine
works _only_ from 48KV!)
