        This week! I have been mostly eating... blanche beer


=====! interview !=============================================================

        *strike*

        I'm just too tired and lazy right now...
        I'll have a surprise for you next week.


=====! demo !==================================================================

        Myth of Orion by Anaconda (Party-version)
        Found at www.scene.org
        1st place at the Euskal 7 party

        System requirements:
          Aha: some info in the file_id.diz:
        MMX, DOS, no emm386 (XMS is OK), SMARTDRV (did crash without),
        vesa2.0, SoundBlaster. When you quit with ESC, the player goes crazy
        sometimes. Further 5.7 MB HD, and (wild guess) a PII with 32 or maybe
        64 MB RAM. Yes, heavy, but worth it.

        The demo:
          Actually ps has already a review at the moment for the next DJ,
        but after seeing Myth of Orion, I started reviewing right away.
        One word:
				WOW!
          This, ladies and gentlemen, is a Good Demo. We can even say a Very
        Good Demo. To start with, my coder-heart rejoices heavily at the
        sight of the raytracing. No! Not simple spheres and pillars and
        planes! There are actually Scenes With A Meaning: an oasis in the
        desert, with trees reflecting in the water, 3 rooms with strange
        alien machines, ... There are even parts with a clever combination
        of normal, sharp 3D and shadows calculated with raytracing! Trying
        to be objective, I must say it is very unsharp raytracing (1 ray for
        4*4 pixels) with blur. Still, it's damn impressive.
          Normal 3D worlds are plenty, with spaceships, spider-like robots,
        pyramids, the good old face emerging from a wall, and of course those
        fabulous birds... Not everything is "normal" though, take a look at
        the flames from the spaceship and the pyramids, or wonder how they
        made the alien humanoid so smooth (I bet it's some kind of metaball).
        And yes, as you might have guessed, there IS a theme, that is
        followed for most of the 8 (yes, eight) minutes the demo takes.
        I like long demos :)
          It's not a 3D-only demo, though: some very cool 2D-transitions link
        the 3D-parts together. Between the space-portal and the destination
        f.e., there are some WinAmp-like effects, further there is TV-snow,
        water, interlaced video, little squares eating away one effect and
        showing another, and an original "sand being blown away"-effect,
        slowly revealing a picture. Beside the countless textures, there are
        5 pictures, most of them hand-drawn. They are fairly good, and
        hand-drawn pictures are a rarity nowadays, but I think the skulls
        and the woman-picture doesn't really fit with the theme. At the end,
        a short video of Anaconda at the party-place is show. Low-quality,
        but what do you expect of clips in demos ? :)

        The music:
          Eight minutes of music, that means either several styles, or a
        serious boredom-risk. Luckily, it's the first thing here. There is a
        sample with the name "vangelis.xi", and indeed, in the intro and
        several slower parts, the music has something vangelis-like: epic,
        slow melody, impressive percussion going crescendo. At other parts,
        f.e. in the space-portal, more techno- and rock-samples are used,
        faster beats and more synthesized leads. But through the variation
        and different styles, there are two constants: the powerful beats,
        and a vivid, happy melody (I'm not very happy with the word "happy",
        but I don't know a better word). I like this a lot. Syncing is at the
        demo-part level, as usual. There is one thing I'd like to see more
        in both this and other demos: sound-effects that follow the visuals.
        It happens only once here: static noise at a TV-snow effect. Imagine
        a demo with a splash sound at water-effects, roaring engines when a
        spaceship takes off, the sound of opening and closing doors, etc,
        just like games have music and sound-effects. But this would probably
        double the size of the module... Hmm, this is getting off topic.
        Back to the demo!

        Worth the download ?
          Do you dare to ask ? Ok, I'll try to summarize: Myth of Orion is a
        Very Good "classic" demo: low-res, high-color, much 3D, some 2D, cool
        transitions, a theme, good code, great music, and enough fresh ideas
        to make every second of the 8 minutes worthwhile. It's not perfect,
        it does have some design-errors (like unreadable credits) or effects
        that are below par (like a tunnel without mipmapping), but everyone
        who has the hardware should see it at least once. Too bad I have
        already sent in my votesheet for Hugi 17, or I would radically
        change a thing or two :)
                                                                        Seven

          humm... maybe i should plug in my new bought gus and have a go at
        some old intros..

	Linking worlds
	Looza
	www.trd.scene.org #120

	  This release is really large - 8:20 in 10MB file. Looza introduces
	this track with ambient sound and during the time changes the style
	of the tune many times. It moves between ambient, triphop, various
	styles of dnb and even jazz. For a while I was thinking if I should
	not call it more tracks in one file - so much it is varying. But 
	all parts are so good connected, that it wouldn't be truth.
	  It's definitely one of the best tdr releases and I was excited 
	when I've heard it for the first time. If you're a fan of this group,
	it's "must have". 
          For other releases by Looza visit www.hgb-leipzig.de/~ajoscht.

	Caitiff
	scene.org or http://vyhen.site.cz/fiasko99/
	Fiasko 99 module section winner

	  When the track started to play, I was thinking "it's like from Mentz".
	The style is really very similar, the tune is chiefly made of the dark
	atmospheric background and drums. There is also some melody in the 
	foreground, which is also very good. There was nothing that I would be
	against in this tune - only one thing. It's that author of the tune
	hasn't showed more unique and original style. 
	  I recommend it to all people who haven't still enough of atmospheric
	music with lots of drums.


--------------------------------------
	Here's a small add. to the Assembly music reviews I did for Hugi#17.
	These two reviewed pieces are place 2 and 3 from MP3 compo. 


	2. 1697pt.  Ltkjtkt vie mun naiset by Wode  

	  Behind this strange name hides a very good guitar tune. It sounds
        like one of the folk-style guitar tunes with great texts, but here's
	also the biggest problem. This style of the music often stands on 
	the text - and if you don't understand like I did, it loses a lot
	of it's atmosphere. Good music, but I would recommend it mainly to
	the Finnish people (I hope it's Finnish :).
	

	3. 1547pt.  box by jugi

	  Even when the selected Genre in ID is Drum & Bass, I would rather
	call it pop. The drumline is distinct, same with bassline, but above
	all you'll hear the piano and a very nice woman vocal, which break
	out of the Drum&Bass genre more to pop.
  	In my opinion are some parts of the tune a bit tense, but overall
	feeling of this tune is good, mostly because of the piano and the
	vocals which are really good. Seems like it's 3rd place is rightful.

                                                                       tryhuk

        hiya.

        some people seem to have a gotten a wrong impression so i'll

        we got the idea in a bar wed-thu night, took 2 days off, holed up at
        petri's, dug up his old glide engine and made the demo from scratch.
        
        eetu.
