A nice demo with energetic soundtrack, it won the accelerated compo!

Good mix of modern effects and oldskool style!

Looks very Pantaloon. Looks very cool. :-) (Especially the part with the falling ashes rules, except there should have been some refraction in that water :-) )

I like it!!

pantaloon engine (tm) and cool music & gfx..

somehow unfitting synch in the end wich is to bad.. (i mean.. who the hell wants to see a sinusscroller with 3d-letters together with the most powerful part of the tune?;)

And the scenepoetry sucks.. ok.. they couldve looked 'cool' if they where displayed in another way.. rotating happily in a text with "be afraid" is like when dxm makes a tinnitus demo .. jokingly painful stupid ;)

tho, ok demo due to the nice gfx and music, and afterwall its a nice engine panta have done..

*agree with sesse & stefan*

this IS nice, never really been a fan of fairlight (read: the vodka series)

but then smash & co. started doing nice stuff, and now even pantaloon does :) hurraay.

nothing really new when it comes to the effects/scenes, but they look nice. furthermore a very solid/driven soundtrack by gemini, which unfortunatly wasn't really synched that great to the visuals (except the part with the falling ashes).

oh and please, we're not in the early 90s anymore, skip the sinscrollers :)

Nothing new, but I like the FLT style, nice design and good music. Thumbs up!
rulez added on the 2002-07-02 09:13:50 by Sdw Sdw
this is the partyversion dudes... in the final there will be some more gfx and another endpart... we had to leave some stuff out coz of the 8mb filesize limit at the compo... we will release it in some days... kind regards and cheerz to my bros in flt!

hey braock and the whole silents/flt crew: nice one really, i enjoyed the fx the have exactly the coloring i like. and also the music's much more demostyle than in other productions these days.. :-)

what will be the next group from the past that pantaloon will resurrect ? Future Crew ? :)

ye nice stuff again.
added on the 2002-07-02 14:08:50 by droid droid
or maybe even haujobb? :P
anyway, the old boys from tsl.de revived tsl without help from anyone, and you can't really blame anyone for wanting to work with old friends, can you?

..anyway, I'll thumb this up even if I've contributed to it, because my contrib (the text, which apparently sucks anyway :) is so small, and gemini's soundtrack is so great :)

i won't give it a thumb down because of the great tune...

btw, i do *love* since scroller but this just doesn't fit...

nice effects but why a sinus scroller at the end ? :) horizontal thumb

hey, whats wrong with scrollers =) they fit any theme... =)
added on the 2002-07-03 00:52:00 by pantaloon pantaloon
rules for good scenes etc, but seriousley the sinus scroller quite dont fit. nice graffiti tho :)
rulez added on the 2002-07-03 01:01:31 by skypher skypher
remedy servers dont like my flashget... had to re-download.

This has very good music and some nice transitions and some cool gfx. I don't have a specific problem with the sinus scroller, other than it and its colors don't fit at all with the rest. The design is quite nice up until the scroller kicks in. Also, that music can be easily made into an .xm (I suppose this is an mp3) and then you won't have to download 8mb :-)
rulez added on the 2002-07-03 03:32:26 by moT moT
no idea how this tune was stored, but its tracked in ft2 and quite small originally as i recall.. And making a demo like this with so much gfx is quite hard even with 8MB and a small tune...

8MB on my 2.5Mbit didnt hurt either, i guess sweden rocks
added on the 2002-07-03 05:07:10 by Hatikvah Hatikvah
overall nice music and fx, however, the scroller is definitely turn down as are the 3d scenes, and its a bit short
added on the 2002-07-03 06:14:36 by mac mac
hm. nothing really interesting in there.

solid code, solid graphics, but aside from that, it's absolutely hollow. neither rulez nor sucks here.
added on the 2002-07-03 07:45:43 by ryg ryg
okay stuff, not too original though and no real theme..
added on the 2002-07-03 08:03:36 by bhead bhead
i might change the scroller color to pink in the final so everyone gets pleased :)
added on the 2002-07-03 12:14:10 by pantaloon pantaloon
uhm, isn't this the final version? the zip-file is called final..
It r0x0rd, but i didnt like big mac and coke, or the napkin.
Next Time use less mayonaisse with my fri-ze please.
thankz

this is not the _final_ version, you will know when u see the final coz its going to have a pink scroller.

panta did it again. great effects, *great* music and let's not forget the very cool flow in the demo. good good good shit! :)
rulez added on the 2002-07-03 19:33:03 by gloom gloom
Gets pretty awesome, then just when the music's at its most intense.. whaa? Just a scroller? OMG, I actually agree with Stefan. :) I'll thumb up the demo when they make an ending that doesn't give the impression that they ran out of time - because it really deserves better.

This is so fucking cool! One of my favourite demos from this year for sure.

Pantaloon demos are easily recognized by the fact that they contain at least one part where most of the screens is covered in bright white light :)
Seriously, I know these guys could do better, but it's a nice demo. Big names like flt and tsl come with a responsibility, and I think panta & co. are upholding the standards pretty well..

all in all a good demo, again one that shows that it's possible to create something good without the use of wannabe-philosophic poems.
good screenplay and good musick too, i foresee great things to come from tsl in the future.
rulez added on the 2002-07-09 13:57:33 by dalezr dalezr
all ok and better. + powerful sound and some new images, slick work - needs more sync and a switch to off the mindless text.

Definetly one of my favourites in 2002! Candy to eyes and ears. There's all, good music, good 3D and effects, and there was that nice 2D pic too, couldn't want much more from a demo.

I'm a big fan of Pantaloon's demos and this is no exception.

Although the contribution from The Silents is slight, I think this demo is an honour to their name.

Very nice design throughout much of the demo, but the tunnel, water scene and the end part doesn't fit too well or could be improved. I really love that scene in the upper-right of screenshot!
Also a bit short, but a very nice demo altogether! Nice soundtrack!
rulez added on the 2003-05-05 15:39:48 by Zigrath Zigrath
another flt demo with good effects and gfx.
but too short.

i'll thumb up the music and the gfx but the one who figured a sinusscroller at the end should be forced to watch it forever...

Shit. What is the slightest sense in crypting RAR (.."kings"...as you wish) file? Yep, do not tell me, to protect against lamers ;).
Silly TSL practic back in the days...
Demo title is very pretentious too. In factl, we could have thought that the prod was made by some teenagers...

But beside that, it is a SOLID prod, in fact!

Is it possible to find a tune alone somwhere?
