31 years later and this track never ages. I coded on amiga late 80's and early 90's and know the limitations of the machine all so well. To create this kind of music with your hands tight on your back is incredible. Big thumbs up!!!
KILLER music. Romeo Knight (Eike Steffen) was, is and will be one of my all-time computer music heroes up there with Rob Hubbard, Jeroen Tel, Martin Galway, Moby (Frederic Motte), Bruno (Jussi Pietilä, may god bless his soul) and Heatbeat (Antti Mikkonen/Alexej Eeben). Praise and respect!
One of the landmarks in Amiga demos no doubt. Man, watching this sure brings back memories. My trusty old A500, where is it now I wonder? (Sold it to get an A1200).
Me too!! If it wasn't for this demo i would not have got an Amiga and learned 68000, RSI I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Its thanks to those guys I had headaches at 5am trying to fix a copper interrupt bug or coding a new routine to move logos onto screen, cheers guys........ I wouldn't change a thing though!!!
Shit, I remember this one with sweet pain. For about 2 years you couldn't get a democompilation disc without the Cebit '90. I just didn't matter who your contact was, the Cebit '90 demo was included on EVERY SINGLE DISC.The first time it was really cool, but after some 2 or 300 sendings with this included it just got too much. I actually cried in pain at one point when it was included in a sending in 1993.. :) A sweet classic nevertheless.
Hard to beat this, except maybe by Vision Megademo IV. Romeo Knight's Cream of the Earth still stands as an excellent piece of electronic music. Hell, it's a great piece of music, period!
One of my favorite demos, mostly for the music, and the intro graphic. Still have this one on my play list, hear it almost every day. :) Romeo Knight for teh win!
One of the all time great tunes, and one of my fave demos ever. I still have the original disk my swapper sent me back in the day and it runs fine on one of my 3 Miggy's still :)
for a 16 bit machine back in days of yore , this was , and still is a stunning piece of music - the graphics in the demo really give the game away as to it's age , but i was there when this did the PD rounds back then. . . . my crappy phone takes photos that use more memory than this computer had ( and i eventually ran a 2 meg amiga )
This tune set the standard for so many demomusic to come! Romeo Knight is still a hero of mine, and I'm a graphician :P I wonder, was this made in their own demo maker, or was the demo maker released afterwards and based partly on this demo?
Aaah memories!!! Best demo ever! not graphically, they were much the same 'back in the day' but the music on this bad boy rocks!!! I've still got a lot of demo discs but when I bought a 2nd hand Amiga of eBay recently non of the discs work!! Proper gutted : (
I remember getting this intro maker on a magazine demo disc which was actually called Red Sector Demo Maker that lets your type in the text you want and scroll on in different ways and add Mod music and animated objects like 3d helicopters and some fella made out of vector balls dancing around lol
A recommendation for what is imo another all time great tune and demo is to search youtube(or pouet) for: virtual world tomsoft. The tune and everything about that demo just brings memories flooding back, the tune is mod.hysteria and should be available for download or i can send it to anyone along with the tune from this just PM me.
Well, I never had one, but I know the Archie could play it just as well. (and it had 8 voice sound chip, not just 4). Some Archie music was made on the Amiga and ported over (I guess they got their trackers too iin the end):
Yeah, lol. No internet, nothing like that. Well, sure, there was modem for the most "l33t of the l33t" and for the rest of us poor high school students there was snail-mail in order to exchange software. (Or swapping as it was called then).

Pure class & style, the music is a timeless classic, the scrolling, the vector graphics... it's all fantastic...LOVE from Norway!

Indeed. Brilliant music, brilliant demo, god I miss those days.......

Classic demo and great music. Great!

just pure CLASS... thanks uploader, what a bangin' toon!
Is it only Amiga demo music that never ages? Timeless classic :)
Hard to beat this, except maybe by Vision Megademo IV. Romeo Knight's Cream of the Earth still stands as an excellent piece of electronic music. Hell, it's a great piece of music, period!

One of my favorite demos, mostly for the music, and the intro graphic. Still have this one on my play list, hear it almost every day. :) Romeo Knight for teh win!
Still amazing in 2018
Absolute class. Remember this when it first came out - Red Sector were awesome. Best ever demo track - no question.
A classic demo, it was the most interesting I got on a demo floppy , what? 15 years back?
those were the days!
and almost 2o years later i am still loving it! ♥
The song/demo is still great.
Aw man...Xerxes, Bendik and Romeo performed this one beautifully at breakpoint!
One of the all time great tunes, and one of my fave demos ever. I still have the original disk my swapper sent me back in the day and it runs fine on one of my 3 Miggy's still :)
The best Amiga tune ever, god this takes me back......
"Cream of the Earth" one of the all time classic Amiga tunez!
One of the best tunes ever :) Best memories
Thanks for the memories!
for a 16 bit machine back in days of yore , this was , and still is a stunning piece of music - the graphics in the demo really give the game away as to it's age , but i was there when this did the PD rounds back then. . . . my crappy phone takes photos that use more memory than this computer had ( and i eventually ran a 2 meg amiga )
Say what you want about the rest of the demo, but the music is definitely top-class.
pure genius !!
classic
Ohh, this takes me back :D
Not seen this one before, nice.
RSI les meilleurs demomakers sur amiga.
CReam of the EaRth!
This tune set the standard for so many demomusic to come! Romeo Knight is still a hero of mine, and I'm a graphician :P I wonder, was this made in their own demo maker, or was the demo maker released afterwards and based partly on this demo?
Suche a great tune! Thanks Romeo Knight :)
auf der cebit copyparty war ich 1990, glaub das war in wunstorf :)
incredible - romeo knight - what an utter legend
I invited my Archimedes owning friend round to watch this, causing him to concede audio victory to my beloved Amiga. Great days!
RSI & Scoopex kicked ass!
Now I clearly hear the drums are ripped from "Buffalo stance". Wonder why I missed that back in 1990??
wow, great to see it :)
@jci10
You know it's old when they put up their home adress and phone number without fear of getting raped and killed.
RSI i TRSI zawsze wymiatało!!!!!
Aaah memories!!! Best demo ever! not graphically, they were much the same 'back in the day' but the music on this bad boy rocks!!! I've still got a lot of demo discs but when I bought a 2nd hand Amiga of eBay recently non of the discs work!! Proper gutted : (
Cream of the Earth! wooooohoooooo!!! (...head explodes)
@stelamo Yes, it was released as "Data Becker Demo Maker" back in '91 I believe.
I remember getting this intro maker on a magazine demo disc which was actually called Red Sector Demo Maker that lets your type in the text you want and scroll on in different ways and add Mod music and animated objects like 3d helicopters and some fella made out of vector balls dancing around lol
Only Amiga makes it possible!
Is this an amazing track, or what?
Wow, what blast from the past. UnReal's still me fav. tho. Future Crew rawks! ;)
yes.. i lived back then ;)
RSI Vectorballs forever

it's a awesome tune! Download it! And there are alot of other great amiga tunes there to listen too.

I think the speed is a bit off. I changed the playback speed to custom and did 1.05 and it sounds more accurate.
Well, I never had one, but I know the Archie could play it just as well. (and it had 8 voice sound chip, not just 4). Some Archie music was made on the Amiga and ported over (I guess they got their trackers too iin the end):
I don't understand the "News of the day 1: Just Joking!!" bit.
this is one of my favorite ... tip and mantronix where kings back then !
/watch?v=Z5SU-FMuAyg
sure there was a red sector program disk to make your own demos ???
1990 dewd!
fuckin' A... quailty stuff from a quality group
I forgot how slow this tune was. Still epic though.
@gallarinajar I still have it :)
Yeah, lol. No internet, nothing like that. Well, sure, there was modem for the most "l33t of the l33t" and for the rest of us poor high school students there was snail-mail in order to exchange software. (Or swapping as it was called then).
wtf??!!
