nice graphics, good music, but the style can be better! why does the man or what ever do not move his lips to the vocals? i know you're able to apply this feature. ok, the best fr-demo at all, but there've been more stylish releses at ms2k.
Very cool, and I personally think it's quite stylish.
ok prod, i expected more from it
Very nice. I don't know what to call it - newschool is probably the closest classification I can think of.
The music, gfx, and speed were all good, and it looked cool, so I give it a thumbs up!
The style is not missing here - it's almost dripping with it. Well worth the DL, I say. But then, I like almost all of fr's prods, so... try it yourself! *plug plug*

The first fr production I really liked.
hangup right in the beginning on pIII-800/g450 here!.. 8]
To abstract for me.
Really nice, abit short tho.

well. nice sync, good soundtrack aswell, but somehow slighlty boring. the robot-scene is really cool. kinda stylish production - in fact something new in fr demos!
Completely unintelligible, but psyochodelic and beautiful. Am amazing demo.
reaktor2k: the face isn´t animated, because i simply didn´t have had the time to do that, wait for the final ! :)
ok giZMo, i'm waiting for the final version!
then it rulez!

wicked :)
Yeye
medium einklang-ish :-)
apocalypse inc-ish more like
Well, pretty mainstream fr stuff. Loses bigtime compared to their best intros..
Nice... for once, vocals in a demo that aren't intensely annoying
Great works!
Cool code, cool music.
And stylish design!!

Some things really good, like the robot scene and its animation(reminds me the iron giant). Others not so good
here is the proof:
mix all 16m colours together and you receive brown ;)
design is wired and doesn't fit the music,
some nice elements, but not my personal taste.

Goa-Electropop?
hmm... nice models but graphics and design are really ugly. somewhat ok music but wouldn't have deserved the 3rd place.

great with great music
very very nice stuff. I only hated the very badly made idealess monotonic musicsynks.
colorscheme was definately brave, artistic and fresh

is now the time where you can say the bad colors are actually a feature? come on, intel tried that already and it didn't work there..
hmm crap synths crap hi-hats crappy bassline ..
only acceptable is the vnv nation/covenant/apoptygma bezerk ripoff vocals
but honestly the worst music i have heard from farbrausch..
grafix was good
best musik i have heard so far is still in medium but that was ripped ...

Echoing MF!'s comment: "Bah....singing"
The FR intros far exceeded the impact (or lack thereof) of this presentation.

mal voten...
my head blew as i saw that marching robot the first time! ;)
the rest is some very well designed and synched bizarre 3d with tons of layers..
but please put some more technically interesting stuff in it next time.. :)

toxie, since the whole demo was done 6 days before and during the party WHILE i was organizing at the party and using the new demosystem for the first time, it´s no surprise that it lacks in several issues, but i´m workin on the final right now trying to improve everything...thanx for the constructive critism everybody!
nice visuals, but the music made me puke. please, no more cheesy eurotrance.
nono lame goa synths and really bad quality & dull highhats..
wtf, this demo fucking rules :D
The robot part is just awesome, and I also loooove the music. I'm looking forward for the final version.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE MUSIC AND THE SINGER SHOULD BE SHOT.
sort-of nice visuals though.

rm (and others who know who they are), for attacking kb like that, you deserve a molten iron rod shoved far up your rectum. (Or maybe you already have something stuck up there?) Amazing how people can tolerate piss-poor code yet scream when a scener actually manages to do vocals. Constructive criticism is fine, but until you can make a better soundsynth or song, take your caps-lock flames somewhere else.
i like it, it reminds me a lot on old sanity demos concerning the design itself. the music was good, i actually only dislike the robot walking. it looks like it has buggy textures or something but maybe thats design :) as usual fiverbrown colors. all in all pretty goooood!
aw, blow it out your ass phoenix.
one doesn't have to be talented in singing to be able to dislike the outcome of someone else doing the vocal chord straining.
besides, this is purely a matter of taste.
also, I'd like to add that my comments are not directed against any individual possibly behind the making of the demos I've commented on. if I've hurt your fragile little egos somewhere along the road, I do apologize.
I'm beginning to feel that one can't critisize anything without having to bear ranting from the direction of other commentators.
I didn't like this prod, and I can't help it. sorry.

hehe, unlike jazz I really loved the part with the robot walking.
neat!
but the singer sounds like some german italodisco artist :)

wierd demo indeed.. but i like it.
this was a different experience, i needed quite some seconds to cope with the shock when kb started singing, but afterwards it rocked :D
yes!
and for all those people lesser into different styles of electronic music, this is neither goa nor eurotrance, but "electronic body music" or EBM for short. And the track roxx, so I guess a lot of you have misunderstood ;)
(yesyes, taste of music is a personal matter. please, no flames :)
kb: what about letting apoptygma berzerk do a remix of your tune for the final? :o)

lug00ber: I'd go for VNV Nation instead, Ronan is living in my home town and I think some talks and a few bottles of Whisky will do *g*
Nah, let's see, the track is kind of a "preview" of an upcoming album (whenever i'll finish it... sigh... stupid scene crap taking all the time that my job and gf leave me), and maybe there will be some remixes, who knows...
... anyway, thanks for all the comments, and i know my singing sucks. I realize that every tmie i lsiten to thie song again. But I'll do better next time. Promised. :)

actually; my favourite part of the demo is when the vocals "join" with the melodic part and things really kick off. it sends chills down my spine. just to bad that the party i like lasts for something like 10 seconds. :)
Very nice ! and great music... I could live without the vocals but I don't think they are anoying
It blowed my brain away on the big screen. Not that impressive at home but still great work. Bugs around a little on my Radeon2, but that's common i guess ;) Oh yes, and -again- fantastic music from KB
Is it kb singing? :) Haha. Marilin Manson having rest. Btw, there are so ugly colors in demo. Uh.
interesting objects & colors. i didn't find the robot very impressive though. indeed, synching is there, but it's not presented in an interesting way.
i also think kb should not try singing ;)
overall not a bad demo, lots of stuff happening in every scene.

All the vocals really need are some more echo & reverb.. and it's not like any of you could do better. :)
as usual..... FB suxx ! :)))))))))
the music is pretty good as usual with kb ! but what's this demo ? in the beginnind, i believe that my CGX was done but no this is ugly !
wow. really nice, unusual style for fr prod :)
i love that mean robot-stomping.

This product really rocks. Kb's music as usual is very good. A bit quick-done maybe, i'll wait for the final version.
Call me nuts but I actually like kb singing...
Music totally kicks ass! The effects are a bit too abstract for my taste, sometimes I was almost wondering if there was some kind of bug that had byteswapped the RGB-vals..
Walking robot is also very cool, but I would have prefered some more traditional colors/shading. (fr-019 style gfx + this music would have been great :))
Anyway. the style of the vocals reminds me of some commercial song, I just can't remember which. Nicely done anyway!

good and original demo. actually best by fr imo. music is awful though (better turn it off :).
nice syncs.
but the soundtrack.. the vocals are just terrible. hate them. i think it sounds a bit like the guy is trying to imitate the vocals on apoptygma berzerks Welcome to Earth cd, but does it badly. anyway, it's nice idea to even try to do the vocals, just do it better next time.

This product is really excellent, as usual with fr.
music sounds great, effects are great, except the robot walking in the end i didn't like much... the end is quite weird.

I prefer this one over the first or the second from the demo-compo.

I wish I could give more than one thumb up. This demo is in my opinion the best demo so far in this millenium, mostly thanks to the music. The colors are also fresh! So... when do we get to see a finalversion?

Although I can hardly stand the extremly cheesy vocals, there are still some nice things here and there that I can enjoy, especially the nice modelling bits...
Commenting this prod won't be easy... *sigh*
Let's get this over with.
Quite standard code and odd-colored (buggy? >:) graphics are OK.
But.
Let's have a word about the music.
I have a confession to make.
I've been a fan of KB for a ling time now, I always respected his works, even thought about him as my scene-idol, or mentor.
However, I think this time, he failed to bring the usual geniality in this song.
(I have most of his musics on my hard drive, so I have a comparison basis.)
No, I'm _NOT_ bashing the vocals. The vocals are good (although Z2 was better :), I'm talking about the kickdrums, the bassline, the snares. They just don't sound that good as e.g. in fr-08 or Picknick in the Meadows.
Overall I don't say it's a bad song (the part where the bass-chord changes is simply chilling), but we heard several better tunes from KB... (as we saw several better demos from FR)

is it a crash or normal these strange textures like litter?
music is not my taste and it is so funny when germans try to sing in english :)
some parts are too much complex with nonsense
instead of that, all have rythm and the code is perfect as usual

Uh... wait...
Let me reconsider this: a FRENCH says that Germans speaking/singing English sound FUNNY?
Wait, uh...
... has the world suddenly gone upside down or something? :)

I had seen this when it was released but forgot to comment.
It's a little abstract (object+textures) which is good or bad, depending on whom you ask. It worked for me. That face did seem rather raw. It has good sync, like in the robot scene. Finally, the music...
kb_, with all due respect, a little more variation on the drum sequence would help greatly. The melodic parts are very good as they are. Kudos for trying vocals, it's not as easy as many people think. Your voice is not exactly 'Celine Dion' but it works nicely for that tune. You only need to add a little echo/reverb like phoenix said and it will rock :-)
It's not farbrausch's best work, but a very nice demo nevertheless.

nice... farbrausch, despite having good politics and excellent coders often seem to derive their content from cheesy videogames.. this remedies this a bit.. glad to see evolution..
oops.. saw this without the sound on first.. nothing wrong with reviing the spirit of electronic body music.. however, there are all sorts of neat ways to fuck up a sub-par vocalist :) (try www.audiomulch.com, loop the vocalist, and then download a bunch of VST plugins)...
very nicely designed
just the vocals

kb: where (when?) can we buy your cd?
YES!
colors and fx were amazing.
but muzik.. fee.nix-z/pht was sitting just next to me here in the office as i was watching the demo with headphones on and i asked him, mate look at the visuals, how do u think what kind of muzik is in there? and then i handed over the headphones and he was just as disapointed as me. he told me tho, they call it industrial. now i'm puzzled - where is the line between cheesy trance and industrial? i've been always considering industrial to be more on noise/techno side, like hypnoskull, synascape, convertor and all that ant-zen stuff..
raveroza: It's not exactly industrial. If I (as the composer) had to choose a style, I would say something between EBM, Futurepop and "Demostyle" (The music was done to fit a completely different demo script btw, therefore the inconsistency in itself)
i see! there was a bit of demoish touch indeed. and the singing was ok btw, tho the music itself.. damn, you were my hero on c64 but seems like we're on opposite sides when it comes to "real" muzik =)
little reminder to giZmo:
Way up here in the thread you said something like 'wait for the final'... ;-)
So PLEEEEASE!!! WHERE is the final....I'm still waiting and waiting and waiting...the party-version doesn't run here at my system (btw: the first fR prod that didn't run in its first released (party)version... ;-) )
So hopefully there WILL be a final of it soon!
Would really like to watch it again after seeing it at MS2k2 the last time...
Thanks, dude(s)!! ;-)

Surely not the best FR demo, but a good one ;)
I like the demo! More of these kind of demos please! And I like the music aswell (maybe because I like synth/EBM), although this demo might fit a bit better with some oldschool acid track ;)..
jeez, i didn't like this at all
whhhaaaaa amazing!
in the fr's style, and so energik, music like ever superb....

After watching .the .popular .demo and candytron again and again this (1 year) older thingy is completly different. :)
Oh oh oh. My only complaint with this is that it ends way too soon. Extra props for the music (and the vocals didn't bother me one bit :))
AWESOME music! kb ROCKS!!!
Music cool, graphics too messy for my taste.
I just want to finally thumb it up
One of my favourite. Cool music and nice graph.
nice
excellent
CYBERPUNK!

Ah, nearly forgot about this one... it's a bit too flashy for my personal taste, but the energetic music rocks! Kb, if I recall correctly...!?

both ugly and beautiful, a striking style!
Enjoyable.

soundtrack
a strange one, some neat visuals.
wow!
Always liked this and, like Virgill, I watched this a lot just to hear the soundtrack. Very cool track and the singing really works.
Some really cool and crazy visuals too.

Love the visuals but the soundtrack ruins this almost completely for me :(
I love the soundtrack!
terrible music.
Even though I'm wonky with my knowledge of genres, I'm pretty sure this ain't Goa/Psy, but EBM.
Still, totally strange approach, very dirty but somehow not? I don't know, this is somehow the strangest thing, where polar opposites work together (Even the meta things like aspect ratio - All of them at once because why not).
Thumbs up for this oddity.

Forgotten thumb. Nice soundtrack.
No, it's not a "nice soundtrack" it's DAS MUSICK \:D/
One of my favorite fb-demos, love the glitchy visuals (still not a fan of the vocals ;) ).
Long-delayed thumb. This was always my favorite early FR demo, liked its design a lot better than fr-08 even if it wasn't as technically mind-bending.
Anyone who thinks the tense vocals and northern-Germanic accent aren't *perfect* for this style of music, doesn't listen to this style of music. ;) Props KB.

late thumb, would have enjoyed it more with more contrast though
Kann man machen! Thumb for the music!
the tune would be better without lyrics. not a fan of that. visuals are hm okay. oink.
music saves it.
for singing kb :D
Synchronization makes this demo.
Messy and unpolished. How did this end up 3rd? Half nice track though...catchy :)

really deserses its place in the top three..
