• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Forest 500 by Hackers [web]
• Fresh and unscrupulous, cool music, and the trees scene must be one of my favourites of the entire party!
  I attempted a fix by simply removing the fastmem attribute and repacking.
  There are some other oddities, like reproducibly crashing on my A500 when a disk is removed while the demo is running, but nothing to distract from its coolness :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS You Must Obey by Nukleus [web]
• It has to be said: The music rocks, and you need to sit through this all the way to the end to hear the best parts. :-)

• 4k Amiga OCS/ECS Candiru by Spaceballs [web]
• Razor sharp!

• 64k Amiga OCS/ECS Pheeb by void
• Super soundtrack, can have that playing in the background for a long time. Accompanied by ultra-simplicistic visuals. Motivational thumb for the gesamtkunstwerk. Please update your tech :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Blood Sugar Rises by AttentionWhore
• Kaneel, there's no way to objectively value art, its definition varies not only from individual to individual, but also from one day to the other. Demos are an especially multi-faceted affair. Of course this demo is as much art as all the others in the compo. My rough definition would be
  art = effort * prowess * concept * X. (Into X you can factor shady things like "talent", which I formerly denied would exist, but increasingly must acknowledge.)
  Demos have always been about the public vote, and they get votes for all the right and wrong reasons. That's the curse of the big parties with ithe "uninformed" crowds, and part of the fun. Let the dramaz ensue and sort it out in fruitful discussions. Jury awards are just amplifiers. I doubt they can or should delude themselves to add any kind of informedness. :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Cycle-Op by Oxygene [web]
• Totally insane - Raider of the lost clockcycles!
  Bestest of spirits and a presentation! And if that hadn't been enough, you'd totally won me over with the Scavenger track - me being used to record Scavenger to CDs :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS The Loop by Ghostown & Haujobb
• I was longing for more and longer running effects. But three effects make up a demo, and hands down with production values like these. Congratulations! :-)

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS The Nature of Magic by New Generation Crew
• Super demo with massive production values in all departments, and the code hits many aesthetically pleasing registers with grandeur. Some parts left me baffled about what's going on here, definitely needs more rewatches.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Visor Beams by Nah-Kolor [web]
• The soundtrack has beautiful moments and harmonies, there's an abundance of HQ pixel gfx, there is taste in the arrangements, there is polishment, the end screen has some solemn beauty. But I counted just one effect (the gfx dissolver), everything else was animations. This left behind a feeling of unfulfilledness, and so we have a woeful instance of 'less than the sum of its parts' here.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Blood Sugar Rises by AttentionWhore
• I don't understand half of the cultural references here. "Powerpuff girls" - WTF? But they look as batshit stupid as Batman - works for me! There is lots of artistic and technical work involved and entertainment value to be found here, and of course a persiflage on an animdemo has to be an animdemo itself. So everybody gets what they deserve. :-)
