I really like this demo as its style has been more about breaking hardware-limits (like in old c64-demos... lotsa sprites, etc.) like the unlimited playfield-part while other groups just released phong-shaded textured rotating cubes in tight efficient code at that time...
Cyclone did an excellent job with the gfx (as he always does) and Pink has some great code in there...
Abyss rulez...

Oldschool demo and it roxx but sadly i must admit that i HATE the music!, though the second part is good (music) :-)

Spot on, pepto! What a relief it was to watch this one :) Hardly any black backgrounds..
Some good ideas came about in the introduction part, and the bouncing-balls-make-demoname-visible-part too.. And as I dig the way (good) older demos were (more or less) creative when switching to the (next) effect, or effect<->picture, this demo comes through 100% on that field. Ofcourse it did. Nearly anyway.
It was good to hear some Moby groove too. Now that was a nice trick to pull off, worth a point itself.. making this production somewhat a classic, sound-wise! How did they get him involved?
On the down side, the demo is a little bit short.

I really like this demo. One of my favourite. Nice music, nice effects (especially those presented at the pictures 1, 4, 5, 8). Excellent artwork by Cyclone.

this has everything a demo needs: Good effects, great music, fine pixeled graphics and it's funny, too! Abyss, one of my alltime favourite groups!

this one gave a real nice surpise, cool music and not bad code from pink for a first start. i recall the network-whq exploded in goodminded laughs at the obvious "unlimited playfields" fake :)

Very nice demo that keeps being fresh 12 years after release. Has a nice funky and fresh vibe, two awesome tunes (the endpart tune is so lovely) and the graphics are amazing.
Special mention must go to the endlogo wipe (just love that effects) and the sync going on in the face picture (screen 8) which was rather awesome. Must being one of the advantages of being musician and coder at the same time :)
Great demo and always happy when rewatching this one. Abyss <3

Redone the screens for this great and fresh demo. My comment about the face picture is now about screen 18 instead of 8.
