I think it was CU Amiga had a review of this demo, and it was very high praise for what turned out to be an absolutely amazing release. Living near Leeds at the time I was able to get a copy immediately and loved it ever since.
I have great memories of the track, I had just purchased a Amiga 500 and I couldn’t believe what it was capable of at the time, All on two discs. I always played this and it inspired me to get into computing, fidonet, octamed Darkside BBS writing webpages in notepad, wrote my first ever email on a Amiga. The Amiga what a machine. And thank you all the demo crews who pushed the Amiga hardware.
I bought a second floppy disk drive for A500 just so I could play this 😁 Eventually moved on up to an Amiga 2000 and ran my BBS (Dreamtime Sanctuary) and Fidonet on that, happy days when buying a 20MB hard drive and thinking 'I'll never fill that'
I ran this on my A1200. It was way too intense. So I stick to the classics like Seven Sins by Scoopex. Somehow that demo switches between PAL and NTSC modes depending on whichamiga. Runs fine on my real A1200 though.
Me too. The good thing about "what happened" is more of us now get to look up and see/hear this amazing work. Fantastic stuff. Never saw this back in the day.
Yup. RetroManCave sent me here too. I can’t believe this was all on one 3.5 inch floppy disc. That’s ASTONISHING. I was not lucky enough to have have an ST or an Amiga but my friend had an ST. He never had this though. This would have blown my mind at the time. Truly amazing.
@@glyph2011 I could be wrong, but I'd heard it came on 2 disks. Still amazing regardless. These days it would be a DVD Rom, which initiates a DRM controlled installation procedure to download the content. :P
Still, to this day, a huge inspiration for my own work... I've always viewed Jesus on E's as something like a milestone at the intersection of art, computing, and geek culture. This was absolutely jaw-dropping at the time, and a genuine a "Beatles On Ed Sullivan" moment for many of us -- The same kids who saw this when it came out would later grow up and revolutionize everything from the music industry to the role of computers in art, because they saw what computers could do when the limits were pushed. I'm glad they called it "Jesus on E's"... because to call it "OMFG" would have been a bit too on-the-nose. :)
Despite being only 16 bit this mix is probally one of the best to ever exist!!!! Youngsters wouldn't understand this was the cutting edge of rave dance music in early 90s🥳❤🥳 All of these samples are from experimental rave music from 1990, things were dark/ breakbeat and very bassy 🥳🥳🥳 1990+ were the best days of my life! Club Kinetic Number 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤
Great demo for the time and cool music. Always made me chuckle how they used the Chuck D sample from Power of the People, which goes "and you thought the beat slowed down, c'mon" but on the screen they put "In your thoughts would be slowed down" lol. Gotta love misheard lyrics
@@drewlovelyhell4892in fact, I think AMIGA came after the nane of the three main chips: Agnus, Denise and Paula, all female, hence the name, which the translation from Portuguese or Spanish as a female friend, amiga.
A timeless masterpiece! This is what exactly this demo is! I still remember when I saw this for the first time to my cousins amiga due to the fact that it needed 2 disk drives to work :D
Bought this for 10p at a car boot sale in with a load of copied Amiga games. Best 10p I ever spent. Probably watched it 100 times before getting my own decks. What a life changing moment that was.
This makes me even more depressed that I wasn't able to salvage my Amiga. I had a bunch of excellent tunes made on Octamed that are lost to time. Like tears in rain. 😢
😢 I lament not keeping the A500 my family had, but I'm still caring for the 1200 we replaced it with, plus a couple of 600s a friend gave us. I lost some music files after backing them up to Zip disks without using the proper MaxTransfer settings, so I feel your pain.
I remember the original release of this didn't work on the A1200. It would crash. But I discovered you could fix it by ejecting one of the disks (I forget which) about 7 minutes in I think it was, to delay the loading sequence for the next segment, put it back in, and it'd play fine to the end.
Still have my Amiga 600, with an old internal IDE disk and a Compact Flash PCMCIA card added. It's a bit dusty, but It's still wired up to an old BBC CUB monitor in full colour mode... Now I want to go and run some old Amiga Demos :)
This blew me away when I first saw it. It was possible to get it to work with just 1 disk drive if you looked for the tell-tale flashing disk light meaning it couldn't find the disk, and swapping between them at that point! Some good sub-testing bass at around 20:45 !
How this fit onto two 1.44mb floppy discs I will never know! Every top rave tune from the early 90s! Very clever I realised how they did the music to fit it in samples and chip music combo but still wow that coding is something else! Still never beat a SID chip synth wise for 80s sounds tho
*Downloading this in 2023 into a "compressed" mp4 movie is 431MB !!!* The original was not even 2 MB. The NEW compressed mp4 format is 200x (or 200,000%) larger!! PROGRESS without PROGRESS.
Been watching alot of the Galantis venues lately, like their music, but this is like proper white gloves, bucket hat, dust mask rave music for the hardcore!! Way ahead of its time.
I agree its great but not ahead of its time , its from 92 plenty of music like this from that year , i literally have a garage full of it lol l'd say its of its time. Also alot of good rave demos for Amiga back then , this just happens to be the one everyone remembers.
The first time I've got this demo I watched it through a night again and again until I'll fell to sleep in the next morning. There are parts I love today, so from 19:00.
Retromancave reminded me of this. Picture the scene, i was 15 and got lots of 'copied' games at school and got to know some folks in 'the scene' after a few months one gave me the disks to this, i put it in my amiga at home.. blew my mind at the time. we actually used it to have a party 3 weeks later. good times!
Yeah it was quite something back in the day, still sounds great today i think. You probably heard mention in that interview about how echo remixed this just a few years ago. I quickly added the visuals, not perfect but its better than static ruclips.net/video/nRSQ9ZVu8hE/видео.html
I only had one floppy drive when this came out so I memorised the disk access patterns on my mate's dual floppy setup so I could watch it at home with a frantic amount of swapping!
If I recall right with fasttracker you could trigger images and small programs. I think it was the letter E but not sure, you added a number and then you could trigger an amount of images. the images where very tiny due to 2 colors.
This was my favourite demo on the Amiga until State of the art and Nine Fingers came on the scene but that was later. The timing of this demo for release was just brilliant also the fact it fitted on two floppy discs. People tend to forget efficient coding and hardware with limitations. Something forgotten in todays IT world
This would sound right at home on Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar (look up the OST for that game, it's a real treat). Might even share a sample or two!
Well F me, a 31 year mystery solved. Got into the scene in late 91 and was soon producing my own techno / hardcore with OctaMED when a friend of a friend had this claiming he & his mate had produced it. Lying toerags 😂 I remember being well impressed by this ❤
my mate did make this tune. graham g from Grantham. i was there when he wrote it. we used to drive to Peterborough to see the rest of lsd as i recall. he later became 'spoonwizard'. he stopped doing much music years ago and worjs in IT for insurance company.
Watching this memory of my early adulthood always blows me away and then makes me sad. I'm into graphics, audio, music, photography, programming, electronics repair/design, all digi-tech, etc., all because of the influence of the people that created this "community" back then. I'm 60 now and I wish sooo much that I wasn't 60 knowing that my time is gonna be up soon. What LSD did back then still holds many neurons in my brain that can't be erased unless I die. 1.6MB of *this* compared to any typical document, photograph, spreadsheet of today? Today is just a waste...
I'm only a young pup but a bloke I used to work with always recommend this to me and said it was a banging set. But i know he isn't the type to play about with computers so I don't know how he listened to it.
Glad to say I was part of the crew in making this demo... Fish/LSD
From Yorkshire? I met you when I was a teenager about 20 years ago :) (Scorpion/LSD)
Jeepers there's a name from the past sure I had a chat with you and Mub at Digital Symposium 1995 feeling well old now

Nice one mate its Yaz/Dextrous (MF/DTL) here - great memories of those times :D
Let’s hope you’re not echo 😂😂🤣🤣
This video is 433MB, crazy to think the original is simply 2x 880 KB floppy disks!
Call RUclips and have them add a built-in Amiga emulator :^
Anyone watching in 2024?
Still a classic!
And you thought the beat let down, come on !
I saw this demo in 1992 and I started coding
This just jumped into my head for some reason , i had to look it up to make sure i never inagined it from a misspent youth ahaha
I have great memories of the track, I had just purchased a Amiga 500 and I couldn’t believe what it was capable of at the time, All on two discs.

Oh, it's still getting pushed alright.. belive me.. :D

I have 129MB of FASTRAM on mine, but it took me 20 years to save up for that much memory. FastRAM $$$$$$
@@kfcspike2578 meanwhile my 16tb hdd is almost full.
10 year old me played this on loop in a dark room. Might explain why I grew up loving the raves/sessions 😂😂😂

Oooff, that Rolf Harris sample didn't age well 😂 Absolutely love this demo tho 🖤
LMFAO
hahhhha
Did he do something bad? I don't know who he is.

OMG thank you so much for uploading this! Remember being utterly blown away by this around age 13.

The amount of times, like today, that I've been drunk with this playing are uncountable.
like today
Nostalgia overload😜
Until recently …
Right now?
what about today?
Fucking hell, ths was Amazing back in da day, still sounds fking mint 32 years later!
Its been anniversary remastered from scratch, look that up. The Spoon Wizard ;)
God bless the Amiga, so many fantastic early 90’s hardcore tracks produced on her.
Have you considered switching? They take up too much space. On A1200T here. Tower.
I like that you said "her". Amiga literally means 'Girlfriend'.

Raved to this a lot as a kid. Amiga 600. Two discs. Even copied it on to a tape so we could play it on the school bus . Hahahaha
This came on two floppy disks. Bloody amazing.
LSD...jesus on e's, the docs disks...legendary! Awaited the jiffy bags almost daily!
Ahhh the postie hated me back then. Sellotape over the stamps. Shhhh.
My name is Rolf :-) Remember first time I heard it back and was in awe over using an airplane engine sound for the bass!
Rolf Hansen not so cool these days having Rolf on your track .......... g’day ....
No disrespect to the name.
So many memories! I bought this for my Amiga 500. The only dance music I owned!!!
back in day PD disks were the only way to get real hardcore
This demo gets old so well. Great job!
I can remember buying an external drive just to be able to play this on my A500+
Me too 😁👍
I had an internal 80Mb hard disk that cost more than the Amiga 😅
Me too!😂
Bought this for 10p at a car boot sale in with a load of copied Amiga games. Best 10p I ever spent. Probably watched it 100 times before getting my own decks. What a life changing moment that was.
Awesome track takes me back to ninetees - sat in front room lights off TV flashing 4am - all wasted!
It amazed me back in the day and it still does.
best Techno Music Disc before Quartz´s "Project Techno" i love it .
This makes me even more depressed that I wasn't able to salvage my Amiga. I had a bunch of excellent tunes made on Octamed that are lost to time. Like tears in rain. 😢
😢 I lament not keeping the A500 my family had, but I'm still caring for the 1200 we replaced it with, plus a couple of 600s a friend gave us. I lost some music files after backing them up to Zip disks without using the proper MaxTransfer settings, so I feel your pain.
G'day Rolf here
Love it
My favorite two floppys back then! I still go back to this. It's so good!!! Thanks it's still blows away anything!
Shouts to Tricky and Ade😊...tripping our head off to this and cyberdelia in '91 then loading up sensible soccer.👊
this demo came out in 1992 😉
It was the dogs bollox If you had an amiga..I had the A1200 great machine back then
I had a 500. Still have it.
I remember the original release of this didn't work on the A1200. It would crash. But I discovered you could fix it by ejecting one of the disks (I forget which) about 7 minutes in I think it was, to delay the loading sequence for the next segment, put it back in, and it'd play fine to the end.
What a blast from the past.... Blloooby Cyclone smith, Warren coming at ya from the BBS
Some tunes on this. The memories
Classic yeah. If you like this, you might like this also. Fresh from the past weekend :) ruclips.net/video/5wZZHuC9eOs/видео.html
Still have my Amiga 600, with an old internal IDE disk and a Compact Flash PCMCIA card added.
It's a bit dusty, but It's still wired up to an old BBC CUB monitor in full colour mode...
Now I want to go and run some old Amiga Demos :)
Nearly 30 years old this OMG......still epic

God thanks you for this superb post. Greetings from the Atari / Amiga democrew from the 80s/early 90s of Eindhoven the Netherlands.
The Amiga has a soul, loved it so much, great work!
Nostalgia.. This demo gave me lot of inspiration.
I still play this tune now and again... awesome then...awesome now.. . oldskool is where it's at...
This is astonishing, TY, took me all the way back to my humble 500
I remember loading this up on my family amiga back in the day and have my mind blown...still blown today!! 😃

Actually on two 880k standard density disks - even more impressive!
I love the FMV clips. BANGER!

The original was not even 2 MB. The NEW compressed mp4 format is 200x (or 200,000%) larger!!
PROGRESS without PROGRESS.
If the code to generate constant data is larger than the prerendered data compressed, something is wrong
Other than that, yeah
Been watching alot of the Galantis venues lately, like their music, but this is like proper white gloves, bucket hat, dust mask rave music for the hardcore!! Way ahead of its time.

Who would have thought 25 years later we would need those dust masks just to pop into the supermarket?!
@@Hail_Full_of_Gracelikely as it did what it said on the tin. Still a classic in my eyes.
The demo scene is still alive and well. Thanks buddy!
Such nostalgia! God im old lol.
The first time I've got this demo I watched it through a night again and again until I'll fell to sleep in the next morning. There are parts I love today, so from 19:00.
I remember getting my DH1: for the first time just so I could watch this.
Ne at DH1: or DF1: ? :)
this brings back some great memories
CBM Amiga MOD scene was fuckin pumpin.
I actually connected my hi fi to my Amiga & recorded this whole thing on cassette tape for my walkman back in the day! 12:52

Featured in the ZZAP Amiga 2023 Annual!
"Do Dooo Di Do Doo"
"Mer Ner Mer Ner"
"Do Do Ee Da" - Still love this Demo all these years later :)
I had completely forgotten just how fucking superb this was. And is.
Until today i cant figure out how they did it.. Simply State Of The Art
If I recall right with fasttracker you could trigger images and small programs. I think it was the letter E but not sure, you added a number and then you could trigger an amount of images.
the images where very tiny due to 2 colors.
Proud to say I own a copy of this.
i keep forgetting how absolutely awesome that end credit music is
Good call
10/12/13 I was. Its amazing how much my brain didn't listen too. The Rolph bit 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Doing more with less will always be more impressive to me, modern CGI and crap is fine but this still amazes me.
The music though. This wasted spaceballs for depth. Although that was pretty visually impressive.
I had a spectrum 128, got Amiga 500+ for my birthday, got this demo, saw the future❤
This would sound right at home on Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar (look up the OST for that game, it's a real treat). Might even share a sample or two!
Tempest 2000 shares some drumbeats together. One from Amiga demos and ones from raves tracks since the ost for it was created on an Amiga.
Does anyone know what the source they used for the voice samples was?
Is it bad that I would sit at my Amiga at 14 after having a microdot or a Penquin watching this all night .
Penguin was my first trip, lasted about 5 hours, trying to sleep was impossible hallucinating 😂😂

Remember this well.....thanks for uploading
Jesus on Es I thought at first it meant to laugh at Jesus. But maybe means E for Easter to see and remember Jesus.... ok ok....
The best bit was, ironically, the Rolf Harris part 😅 Didn't age well, but at least no Jimmy Saville
This is fire.
I remember this from back in the day, still have my copy somewhere.
And you thought the beat slowed down, C'mon! 😝
masterpiece!!
@08:59 who would of thought. Gday. Tragic. Can you tell what it is yet.
Im sorry but the two little boys arent home at the moment. hahaha. the irony
I'm only a young pup but a bloke I used to work with always recommend this to me and said it was a banging set. But i know he isn't the type to play about with computers so I don't know how he listened to it.
Maybe someone recorded it on to cassette for him at the time, would have been easy to do.
My favourite Amiga demo, loved the rave demo's, so fuckin good then and now.......... What's the name of the track at 7.22 mins ? loved it.....
ruclips.net/video/O3x-P8HMZp4/видео.html
Via RetroManCave, damn this takes me back..... (viva the real echo !)
Legendary!
3:20 Sounds like Tempest 2000
Intro music - Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
Loleatta Halloway screaming around the 1:24 mark made it for me!
Watched this on both E & LSD....... and E with LSD
A bit Laserdance.
Love the Keyboard within the techno
Damn, love that Amiga ❤️❤️❤️
pure acid trip ! love the muppets mix so much
2 discs of heaven lol 😂 \o/ ❤️🙌🏻
7:48 goes hArd af
This demo is over 30 years old. Feel old yet? :D
Jesus in bits 💯✨
Лисица 🦊 под эту музыку радуется танцует 💃 радуется и веселится
spoon bretheren.
Love the Nigel Faragh sample - oh that was an advert - sorry my bad :)
Fucking hell Jesus on Es knew the future 😲 9:20 rolf here 😲😲😲
