Enjoyed it, perhaps a bit to busy here and there
Great intro in BC's style. Definitely the best in compo.
The best entry of the poor pc-64k compo for me, hopefully you will win it.
I second Cj
Nice one, have to watch it again on my own PC.
Looked wicked on the screen. Sexy like Chaos Theory!
best in the combo
good one, but i enjoyed the clrsrc intro better
this might be my new favourite
Pretty good. Didn't like the music though, such a cliché softsynth introtrack.
rocks
damn i hate you :(
Some graphics are quite ugly and there is too much obvious inspiration from Chaos Theory and Aether.
Besides that, it's good for a 64k and I liked the sync, worth a thumb up :)

The effects are goodlooking and cool, although overall it feel kinda messy. Thumbs up for a solid prod.
winner!
Best one in the compo by far, great flow and good music. Felt like watching a demo.
music starts nowhere, goes nowhere, annoying synchro, screen too busy... still, it's the best one in the compo.
Solid as rock IMHO.
And I forgot the thumb :\
sweet.
Loved it.
great.
nice work... and thanx 4 tha greets =)
dynamic, well made, good music!
Too eratic, kinda spasmodic.. And the "music"??
Pretty cool, but the music (and some design) brought back some Memories From The Mcp :P
too chaotic and blinkering... the rest is rulez
They have the tech and the colours right. But they have no whatsoever idea or concept to go with it. It's just plenty of random 3d objects in random 3d environments.
Very good indeed, but too chaotic.
Sorry, but this really lacks soul.
Good on the technical side, so a piggy it is.

Definitely teh 64k PC demo of the compo
Mmm,. what I don't like in latest 64k intro by BC is how the parts seems to be really messed up together, a confusion of filters and scenes that I seem to never enjoy much (I would become quite predictable to say once more again that I still favor the icemachine more ;), even though there seems to be a lot of potentional there. It's the intros with lot's of stuff and work in it which I watch and don't remember later though. Nevertheless there were some good moments (and I liked that strange sphere object transition used all over) and I always adore the synth music in BC demos. (Mmm,. shane's comments describes what I feel about BC intros precisely. Too chaotic!). Still, it's so great to see you got the 1st place at BP and that's preety motivating I guess. I liked BC overall since I first watch the icemachine but I've been stuck there :)
it was too long, the music was not very good, in some places it looked like "My First Photoshop Plugin!!11" and the sync made me just plain mad. sync to something else than just every goddamn snare-hit please! actually i expected something way better after "memories from..". i hope you pack your Good Shit Bag(tm) and head for assembly though :)
sure, lot of great work.
+ skyrunner track.
good job.

random blury red yellow scenes :(
seen this kind of thing too many times before. it's random post-processed object show city. quickly becoming just as boring as a scroller with knighthawks font.. the music saves it.
Runs reaaally slow here; averages about 2fps.
AMD64 1.8Ghz, 1.5GB RAM, 6800GT.

Really smooth and well-polished effect show
Wow! This a big jump for Brain Control. It rulez for sure.
Some suggestive notes:
++ hexa ball scene
+ overall look and lighting
+ syncing
+ scene linking
- Too fast & random camera movements for scenes that could have looked huge. I wonder if there wouldn't have been much more potential in some scenes.
- slightly too much love for pixel shaders (screen wobbling, emboss)
- the Y8K image overlay
- repetitive syncing
Looking forward to your demo!

small improvement from their previous efforts. still not quite hitting the spot but it has loads of content.. thumb for the effort
WOOH!
Good range, partly a bit too messy for my taste.
Argh I just can't stand the music. Visuals were ok though.
It's ok. It's not great.
not the greatest thing in the world, but more than okay
interesting new graphics object corresponding with sound :D
Nothing revolutional, but this one is still _very_ well assembled! Looked great on the bigscreen.
...revolutionary, i mean...
WTF? After reading all the comments above, I think maybe I watched the wrong demo! Anyway, MAJOR glitch-fest rulage! I love that broken CD effect on the music, and the way the visuals pause and glitch while the music replays the last little bit to catch up.
I'm guessing that is absolutely nothing like what it should have been like... but no way am I reporting a bug, I'll stick with the glitch version thanks ;D

it is a considerable achievement that you created such a lame intro with such a great engine
I can't find any soul in this. Sorry. All I see is blur.
ger : please come on do better... we need talented guys : i bet you are one of them
rult.. better than ya prev ones. and i liked the hexagon scene..
nytrik, ok, so let me be a bit more constructive. i remember your stills from the gfxzone times. so i wonder why these bc prods go *soo* nowhere.. i mean... perhaps i should remember more than a flashy swirl of quads after watching the intro..
so if it's you who will figure out a *concept* and *direct* the next intro, then i wish you choose a theme as impressive as here

Schön geil.
Definitely has style!

Well yeah you definitely lack a concept there. Some nice scenes destroyed by ugly overlays, a boring colorscheme and texts with '95 style glow. To make things worse, you can't really grasp anything of the visuals because it's either too blurry or the sync is too fast. It's still enjoyable, and deserves a weak thumb.
Quite messy at times but cool 64k anyway. Lots of different things to see and pretty cool music. Well deserved 1. place. :)
Music was a bit too... generic, but otherwise nice
Out of the fact that it fits in 64k, I've to say there's not a single thing I like in it. Boring music, overly contrasted black/orange, no flow.
Disapointing :(
(But the engine itself seems good for what I can see)

Nice some stuff.
It ain't great in the brain control prods.
But, I liked some scene, trax.
And it is 64k intro.
Anyway nice work.

GER : well good luck : keep in mind that i have the right to use only primitives geometry
Horrible polish colourscheme, messy design and bad bad synch... And was the tune reused from some previous intro or what?
@rainmaker: No ,the tune was custom-made
by me for this intro.

I think its a bit am boring at parts (maybe too much efx at once), best intro in the compo anyway ;)
Quite nice, although a bit messy..
Nice!
nah. I dont like this one. in all ways.
I found it very "Treble & Bass"-like :
http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=24521
But still friggin' enjoyable.

Rulez must be said.
nice to see a non-photorealistic 64K that kicks some ass again.. A bit messy in parts though, but cool.
I think you guys have improved your intros a lot compared to a few of your previous releases (e.g. "Terra Incognita"). Seems that you have turned your direction back to the better direction you had before. And me likes the fastly paced effect changes here.
nice.
Who is added? 256? sux!
Warning, this prod contains Obfustat.EDF virus. Very bad from Braincontrol.
don't worry, there is no virus. only an outdated and/or bad virus checker that probably doesn't like kkrunchy :)
Hmm...Brain Control is a very strange group.Their demos are not great and not bad.But this is one of their best.
A bit messy and monotonic, but it's ok.
I LIKE.!!! :)
...demO-stYle 4 sure.!! :)

Great intro, and I love the soundtrack. Design wise I think the second intro in the compo was a bit more original though so I think that one should have won.

*** AVG Virus *** Found this as an infected file.
Teh Du : dude, it comes from the packer that is recognized as a virus by your unreliable antivirus software.
Most 64k have this problem nowadays.

I thought the effects were cool but the colors and gamma or whatever just made it ugly.
Still worth a thumb.
@Teh Du: What are you doing with that pic? ;)

gah that kind of things piss me off, thumbing down a prod without having seen it. bollocks.
seems to have problems when put to very high shadow quality - i couldn't make out any shadows, but several times i got a 80% black screen which COULD have resembled a shadow map...just a shot into the blue though.
Apart from that i enjoyed it. Sound was mediocre, but then again not my taste.

The constantly changing/repeating effects was annoying at first, but after a while i admired how much effort went into this 64k. the hdr and shadows are a nice touch.
brain control!
bad colors and a bit messy. Has some nice stuff in it though.
Same as all thumb uppers!
what Jumpseri said
Not the smartest design but I liked the old school feeling and love the music !
a bit too hectic for me, but very good overall.
Cooool! The kind of 64k I enjoy! Thank you.
one of the best ever
Amazing soundtrack and absolutly incredible video!
Pretty good visuals but a bit dull and the music is crap.
could have been so much more
