! demo !
Different Engine by Zden/Satori and Distance/TPOLM party-version
Found at www.demobit.sk
2nd place at the Demobit00
System requirements:
8 MB HD, 640*480*256 mode ?, Midas for music.
No memory req. mentioned, but I guess 32Mb should be enough.
The demo:
While the winter is nearing its end, the number of parties is
increasing again. Too bad Yearning/Kooma 1st at Trax00 needs a
3D card, and Fate/7 gods 1st at Demobit is not released yet,
I hope. So today we take a look at Different Engine/Satori.
Lets warn you: this is HEAVY design stuff. Almost pure
black white, not the slightest 3D, no fancy stories, and it
takes only one and a half minute. So what IS in there ?
In fact, just one big effect: an overkill of windows, some
rectangular, other formed with blobs. They scroll over each other,
appearing and disappearing chaotically, and they all show grayscaled
scrolling images: unreadable texts, a plasma-map, a movie of a face,
strange objects or just random noise. First I thought it was in pure
black and white, as most images are dithered, but closer inspection
2.5 cm revealed some bits of gray. The whole thing is synced to
the music via white flashes. The music is also very minimalistic:
very atonal metallic percussion, with a very slow, vibrating lead.
Its not my style, but it fits the demo. I was impressed by the size
of the XM Sorry Distance, I know that shouldnt be a criterion for
music, but as a 4K-coder, I cant help but noticing it :.
It has only 6 samples, between 55 bytes and 4k, but it doesnt
suffer from the cheezyness of a chiptune. Well done.
Worth the download ?
Note that the demo is only 1.4 MB zipped. The main data file
with the black white movies etc is extremely compressible,
its a pity the demo doesnt cater for that. The rest is a matter
of personal taste: some will love this extreme stuff, others better
stay away from it. Judge for yourself.
Seven
! intro !
Public Broadcast 2 PBPT
64k intro
2nd place at Demobit 2000 Slovakia
Shakul - programming
Laser Harp - music
The previous work of this duo was Quickly Distorted Public
Broadcast QDPB. It won the intro competition of the Fiasko 1999
party. It is grayscale, has a flatshaded 3d engine and a constant
white noise effect. It is very similar in outlook, music and overall
feeling to the demo TB-2RX by TPOLM Gathering 1998, but in 64k.
Public Broadcast part Two is the sequel to that intro. Now I think
that the authors found their own voice: the intro more original,
it is well-designed and has many fine effects.
There are 3d scenes, drawn with flatshading and wireframes
some 3d morph effects a very good 3d starfield with transparent
spots although it reminds me a bit to Bakkslide 7 some quite
fine keyframer-effects with cubes. Additionally, there are many
smaller effects shown here-and-there. For example, a row of little
circles waving through the screen, a small voxel terrain in a small
circle-shaped screen, and many other ones.
Some technical details before you start downloading:
the intro runs in a high resolution, it supports both GUS and SB,
and runs both under DOS and Windows. I think that there will be no
trouble with running it anywhere. This does not apply to QDPB which
I cant execute on my P2 : Now its time to download it, the intros

Last train
smash
www.tdr.scene.org - 151
Ah, another release by our favourite smash, who made me so good
with his musicdisk there goes the neighbourhood. His new release
introduces two songs - Last train and tune for hugi. Well take
a deeper look at the first one. Only one notice before I start. If
youre sure that youll get this song, do it and read the review
after listening, because you would not enjoy it fully.
It opens almost like a normal jazz track with piano and a low
string, played with 4/2 tempo changes. Then piano mutes and a strings
with rapidly decreasing volume envelope come in, demonstrating breath
of loco which is slowly heating up. Again comes a piano and
everything is repeated while more and more percussion joins it.
Then comes a break and strings have volume envelope turned off, so
their whole melody comes out. In this part is track in standby, it
just goes and keeps the tempo which forces you to await the return
of percussion. Track continues with the percs till the short break,
where comes up a sample of train. After it last instrument comes in
and plays a melody while another weird sound slowly fades in, giving
the track experimental sound and expectation of something more.
But it wont get fulfiled, because the track ends - we have to wait
for another release. Fortunatelly smash packed to it a
tune for hugi, also a very good song with a melody which reminds
me on stargirl and other tracks from the mentioned musicdisk.
I think, I should also mention that the melody played by the piano
is interesting and just lovely and helps to fulfil the atmosphere of
this nice jazzy triphop track.
This track perfectly presents use of the tempo changes and good use of
breaks, which actually dont break it and help to keep up the track
interesting. Of course is here also good work with the sample changes.
A track which isnt interesting for the passive listeners only.
Also check out tdr150 which re-releases lebe mein welt by kritix
reviewed in demojrnl58 and features also twister with killer of
the zodiac experimental dnb and looza with great hiphop called
noddin. Looks like new members of tdr will have something to
offer. Oh, I hope youve visited mp3.com/tokyodawn.
- Retro -
Here I am with the retro for the third time. Today Ill write
about past musicdisks of stereoman from now sm only, member
of progresive musicgroup called NOISE.
If you browse deeper in the past of Noise, youll find lots
of great releases by sm with really good samples Im saying
it just because he is releasing in mp3 to protect his samples.
His older releases are a lot influenced by Orbital, Underworld
and by Dune, who gave to his music really lot and actually sm
dedicated one musicdisk to him - Duneicated - and that is
todays first point. It contains 6 songs which are specific
by their combination of electronic and classical sound for
example lands of unreal, high stereo separation not only for
percussion, but for all sounds, lots of echoes and reverbs,
and by very own ambient samples which became rightfully a library
for many people. Very interesting is also the possibility to see
how can one tune evolve in two ways - sm included h and h2,
both based on the same song. And again one amazing thing is Samo
edin, a 17k chip tune which will show you excellent work with
IT instruments. Im listening to the mdisk right now and I still
think that its great thing, really worth downloading.
Another musicdisk which came out in 1997 is modes, this time
it contains 5 tunes only, but theyre anyway great and what is
important, theyre again very original and different, now with
more influnce by his friends from NOISE.
Last musicdisk is -e-4-, which clones ambient techno of sm
and mds steeldrums at least in the style. I dont like this
one that much, but I guess that big fans of md will like it.
I like duneicated best, but this feeling can be a lot affected
by the past, so Ill leave the choice on you. Youll find out that
you dont know how could you live without it after listening to it.
And heres only one way out - get more music by him, Ive heard
most of the songs which came out separately and I cant remind
on one that I wouldnt like ok, maybe one, but thats really all.

This week! Ive been mostly eating... scene.org

*none*
! demo !
Different Engine by Zden/Satori and Distance/TPOLM party-version
Found at www.demobit.sk
2nd place at the Demobit00
System requirements:
8 MB HD, 640*480*256 mode ?, Midas for music.
No memory req. mentioned, but I guess 32Mb should be enough.
The demo:
While the winter is nearing its end, the number of parties is
increasing again. Too bad Yearning/Kooma 1st at Trax00 needs a
3D card, and Fate/7 gods 1st at Demobit is not released yet,
I hope. So today we take a look at Different Engine/Satori.
Lets warn you: this is HEAVY design stuff. Almost pure
black white, not the slightest 3D, no fancy stories, and it
takes only one and a half minute. So what IS in there ?
In fact, just one big effect: an overkill of windows, some
rectangular, other formed with blobs. They scroll over each other,
appearing and disappearing chaotically, and they all show grayscaled
scrolling images: unreadable texts, a plasma-map, a movie of a face,
strange objects or just random noise. First I thought it was in pure
black and white, as most images are dithered, but closer inspection
2.5 cm revealed some bits of gray. The whole thing is synced to
the music via white flashes. The music is also very minimalistic:
very atonal metallic percussion, with a very slow, vibrating lead.
Its not my style, but it fits the demo. I was impressed by the size
of the XM Sorry Distance, I know that shouldnt be a criterion for
music, but as a 4K-coder, I cant help but noticing it :.
It has only 6 samples, between 55 bytes and 4k, but it doesnt
suffer from the cheezyness of a chiptune. Well done.
Worth the download ?
Note that the demo is only 1.4 MB zipped. The main data file
with the black white movies etc is extremely compressible,
its a pity the demo doesnt cater for that. The rest is a matter
of personal taste: some will love this extreme stuff, others better
stay away from it. Judge for yourself.

! intro !
Public Broadcast 2 PBPT
64k intro
2nd place at Demobit 2000 Slovakia
Shakul - programming
Laser Harp - music
The previous work of this duo was Quickly Distorted Public
Broadcast QDPB. It won the intro competition of the Fiasko 1999
party. It is grayscale, has a flatshaded 3d engine and a constant
white noise effect. It is very similar in outlook, music and overall
feeling to the demo TB-2RX by TPOLM Gathering 1998, but in 64k.
Public Broadcast part Two is the sequel to that intro. Now I think
that the authors found their own voice: the intro more original,
it is well-designed and has many fine effects.
There are 3d scenes, drawn with flatshading and wireframes
some 3d morph effects a very good 3d starfield with transparent
spots although it reminds me a bit to Bakkslide 7 some quite
fine keyframer-effects with cubes. Additionally, there are many
smaller effects shown here-and-there. For example, a row of little
circles waving through the screen, a small voxel terrain in a small
circle-shaped screen, and many other ones.
Some technical details before you start downloading:
the intro runs in a high resolution, it supports both GUS and SB,
and runs both under DOS and Windows. I think that there will be no
trouble with running it anywhere. This does not apply to QDPB which
I cant execute on my P2 : Now its time to download it, the intros

Last train
smash
www.tdr.scene.org - 151
Ah, another release by our favourite smash, who made me so good
with his musicdisk there goes the neighbourhood. His new release
introduces two songs - Last train and tune for hugi. Well take
a deeper look at the first one. Only one notice before I start. If
youre sure that youll get this song, do it and read the review
after listening, because you would not enjoy it fully.
It opens almost like a normal jazz track with piano and a low
string, played with 4/2 tempo changes. Then piano mutes and a strings
with rapidly decreasing volume envelope come in, demonstrating breath
of loco which is slowly heating up. Again comes a piano and
everything is repeated while more and more percussion joins it.
Then comes a break and strings have volume envelope turned off, so
their whole melody comes out. In this part is track in standby, it
just goes and keeps the tempo which forces you to await the return
of percussion. Track continues with the percs till the short break,
where comes up a sample of train. After it last instrument comes in
and plays a melody while another weird sound slowly fades in, giving
the track experimental sound and expectation of something more.
But it wont get fulfiled, because the track ends - we have to wait
for another release. Fortunatelly smash packed to it a
tune for hugi, also a very good song with a melody which reminds
me on stargirl and other tracks from the mentioned musicdisk.
I think, I should also mention that the melody played by the piano
is interesting and just lovely and helps to fulfil the atmosphere of
this nice jazzy triphop track.
This track perfectly presents use of the tempo changes and good use of
breaks, which actually dont break it and help to keep up the track
interesting. Of course is here also good work with the sample changes.
A track which isnt interesting for the passive listeners only.
Also check out tdr150 which re-releases lebe mein welt by kritix
reviewed in demojrnl58 and features also twister with killer of
the zodiac experimental dnb and looza with great hiphop called
noddin. Looks like new members of tdr will have something to
offer. Oh, I hope youve visited mp3.com/tokyodawn.
- Retro -
Here I am with the retro for the third time. Today Ill write
about past musicdisks of stereoman from now sm only, member
of progresive musicgroup called NOISE.
If you browse deeper in the past of Noise, youll find lots
of great releases by sm with really good samples Im saying
it just because he is releasing in mp3 to protect his samples.
His older releases are a lot influenced by Orbital, Underworld
and by Dune, who gave to his music really lot and actually sm
dedicated one musicdisk to him - Duneicated - and that is
todays first point. It contains 6 songs which are specific
by their combination of electronic and classical sound for
example lands of unreal, high stereo separation not only for
percussion, but for all sounds, lots of echoes and reverbs,
and by very own ambient samples which became rightfully a library
for many people. Very interesting is also the possibility to see
how can one tune evolve in two ways - sm included h and h2,
both based on the same song. And again one amazing thing is Samo
edin, a 17k chip tune which will show you excellent work with
IT instruments. Im listening to the mdisk right now and I still
think that its great thing, really worth downloading.
Another musicdisk which came out in 1997 is modes, this time
it contains 5 tunes only, but theyre anyway great and what is
important, theyre again very original and different, now with
more influnce by his friends from NOISE.
Last musicdisk is -e-4-, which clones ambient techno of sm
and mds steeldrums at least in the style. I dont like this
one that much, but I guess that big fans of md will like it.
I like duneicated best, but this feeling can be a lot affected
by the past, so Ill leave the choice on you. Youll find out that
you dont know how could you live without it after listening to it.
And heres only one way out - get more music by him, Ive heard
most of the songs which came out separately and I cant remind
on one that I wouldnt like ok, maybe one, but thats really all.
