Among its original founders were german Anonym. Anonym (canada) and Cupid (england) are both originally from Germany. Polonus develops a music editor which first went under the name VoiceTracker, then later Music Mixer. The first versions of VoiceTracker was released under his previous group, Science 451. In a mail from Anonym, I was informed that at least swedes Jadawin (music, 00) and Powpin (both ex Warriors of Time, new 03/91), Mad (eng music, 12/93) and Roman (ger gfx, early91) have not been members for quite some time. 1991 - Polonus joined from Science 451, while swedes Jadawin and Powpin joined from Warriors of Time around early march. 1992 - In august german The Syndrom (also in TIA) joined from Sunrise. 1993 - The Syndrom's membership didn't last all that long, and he left the group for Crest sometime between january and april. Diabolo joined from Lower Level in may, and immediately released a demo. 1994 - Chiefy left for F4CG in september. The Final Torture (1994, 28.12, Demo). code: Leonardo, Anonym, gfx: n/a, music: Steel/Success. 5th in The Party 5 demo competition. info: Steel's music is the only exclusive piece in the demo. <4KB (1998, 12.04, 4k Intro). code: Leonardo, gfx: n/a, music: Xayne (uncredited). 4th in the Mekka Symposium 4k intro competition. review: I can't bring myself to love this; even though it's just 4k and has cool music, sinedots are just...so late 80's. [glenn] Mekka Symposium 2000 Invitation (2000, early, File). code: Hoogo, gfx: Cupid, music: Jadawin. review: Very focused on just getting the text out in an orderly fashion, this invitation intro comes across as very professional. It features a green, almost unreadable Mekka Symposium logo down the lefthand side of the screen, with the rest devoted to the text. It uses a proportional font, which is quite readable despite its size. The routine also supports graphics, which facilitate the inclusion of maps of the area etc. Very professional, very focused, hardly going to set the demoscene on fire, but gives a very solid impression. Annoyingly, it doesn't ever really identify itself as a Padua productions, but the producers are Padua members. [glenn] Mekka Symposium 2001 Invitation (2001, early, File). code: Ophis (intro), Hoogo, Anonym, gfx: Morris (intro), Cupid, music: "Setback" by Vip (intro), "Whitby" by Waz. review: Hey, for once an innovative invitation intro! =) For us nostalgics, the text-adventure approach was a real pleasant surprise. Nice one guys! =D Hehe. Ok, this invtro opens with a minimalist intro, with no real point to it, except to show that they can do those fractal triangle thingies. Ok, space pressed and we're into the invitation itself. The text adventure, whose goal is not really clear, actually seems to have a pretty ok parser. You can walk around the MS area, but the location descriptions are a little sparing, and it's easy to get lost. Anyway, the whole adventure thing can be bypassed for the invitation text by writing the words 'I Am A Lamer' into the game =] Along the right side of the screen is a Padua logo running down, and a slate of letters forming various words to the right of that. Nice to see some people trying to make an invitation intro just a little different. [glenn] Palace ------ ???> Flotsam (music), Genius (music, 08/94).

The first issue for Pandora, issue #2, was released at the beginning of august. The next issue came exactly a month later, and announced the joining of two new members, graphician Sun Dancer from The System (who contributed heavily to the issue) and swapper KBS. Now, the goddamn thing is my copy of issue #4 is corrupt, so I don't know what happened, but by #5 everyone was in a new group, Regina. This means at least Dr.Zivago, Duke, Idol, KBS, and Sun Dancer... The Pulse #2 (august) (1993, 02.08, Multifile Diskmag). code: Dr.Zivago, gfx: Duke, music: Moz(ic)Art (intro), Jens Christian Huus/Vibrants (mag), editor: Duke (main), Psychobilly/Red Sector Inc, Maduplec/Crest. review: Unfortunately, I can not offer a full review of this diskmag since I can not get it to work properly through CCS64, perhaps it's my diskimage there's something wrong with, I don't know... So I can only tell you a few things from the one chapter I _CAN_ read without the mag crashing when I try to load something else =( This mag announced Dr.Zivago and Duke joining from Gridpoint, and Idol joining from Dominators.

It's quite similar to the last one, in how it looks, but with one important new feature: The chapter menu is now to the right of the text, vertically. The control method has also changed, you now use the joystick where you previously used +/-, return and space. It loads new chapters quite snappily, but the loader is also very sensitive. Set your 1541 emulation to 'normal', not 'fast' in CCS64 guys! The contents of the mag this time is not very exciting, the only real article is the profile/interview on Jerry/Triad. We're anxiously awaiting the next issue's World of Demos column, though... The accompanying note corrects the music credits in the mag. Originally Drax/Vibrants had agreed to do the music, but never came through, so they had to use The Syndrom's tunes instead... [glenn] Panic Design ------------ FIN> Debris (Jarno Laitinen, gfx swap, 09/94-08/98), Deetsay (music, 11/97-08/98), Jer (code gfx music, 08/98). ???> Brizz (music), Dr.Voice (music), Mire (gfx, 08/94), Warlock (music). Panic is a finnish demo group. 1998 - Assembly in august brought the group's second triumph in as many years; "Speedway 2" [08/98] was again the winner of the demo competition! Speedway 2 (1998, 08.08, Demo, 2 disksides). code: Jer, Dow Jones (loader), gfx: Debris, Jer, music: Agemixer/Scallop, Deetsay. Winner of the Assembly 98 demo competition! review: Let me just open by saying I was disappointed with this demo. This was after all an Assembly winner, and as such should be something a little more special. Unfortunately, this time the results do not reflect quality - it was simply best of three bad demos. Most of this demo is presented in an every-other-line-blacked-out mode, probably to save rastertime, but which makes the demo look extremely bad - even from a distance. In this respect, to get fast 3d on the c64, the Smash Designs 4x4 approach is preferable. All this might have been tolerable had the 3d been of an outstanding quality, but again we can unfortunately not claim that this is so. There are a few simple objects - good old duck.3ds, a torus, a cube - but they all look too much like animations - and bad ones at that. The demo opens and carries on for the entire first diskside with a tune by Agemixer that is engaging techno, but becomes repetitive towards the end. The main music for the second diskside is by Panic's own Deetsay, and is also a pretty good tune. The endpart - or endpic to be exact - has the best music in the entire demo, a calm melodic tune by Agemixer done back in 1996. Overall this winner leaves me with a sour aftertaste... Debris' compopicture for ASM98 appears in the second part (diskside) of the demo. [glenn] Panoramic Designs (PD, 1990-) ----------------------------- NOR> Bjørn Røstøen (code gfx, 04/90-05/91), Haavar B.

Panoramic Designs is an all-Norwegian demo group, born in the early months of 1990 mainly by former members of The Shadows. The fact that all members used their given christian names and not handles anymore was a rather unique quality back in those days. Only the swedish group Pretzel Logic probably preceded them in this. The group further had the strength of having top norwegian musicians Prosonix as members. HBH stated in his demo "The Pezed Bars" that he had left the group for another one. Olav made an improved version of the Turbo Assembler. Olav Mørkrid was previously known as Omega Supreme, Bjørn Røstøen was previously known as Moonray in Shape, Rawhead and Shadows. Haavar Hojem was previously ZTH/Abnormal. 1990 - In july, the group co-hosted the 'Bergen Party'. 1993 - Norwegian graphician Pal joined from Offence in may. Pixel Magic (1990, 14.04, Single file demo, 3 parts). code: Marius Skogheim, gfx: Marius Skogheim, Bjørn Røstøen, music: Ole Marius Pettersen, Lars Hoff. Released at the Swedish Elite Easter Conference. review: While later demos are great, PM shows us an earlier PD. Only the final part really shines a little, with its bob-like helicopter in a part that looks inspired by the vectorballs part of the Red Sector "Megademo" [09/89] on the Amiga. Other than that, music is the main reason to download this. The final part contains a cover version of Iron Maiden's "Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" if you're into that sort of thing. The party of release (and hence the release date) is a little bit made up of guesswork on my part, since the demo does not quote a year of release, only that it was released on the 'Horizon easter party'. There were no HZ party in 89 (that I am aware of), and HZ were coarrangers of the Swedish Elite Easter Conference 90 - held during the easter holiday. There is indications in the demo that this is an early release for PD. [glenn] Digital Delight (1990, 30.06, Multiload Demo). code: Bjørn Røstøen, Olav Mørkrid, Morten Salthe, Haavar B. Hojem, gfx: Bjørn Røstøen, Richard Nygaard, music: Lars Hoff, Stein Pedersen, Richard Nygaard. Winner of the Bergen Party demo competition! review: Another nice demo from PD! The main strength of these guys seem to be - apart from the obvious musical excellence - their design. They make it look like their productions are a little more than just effects strung together. This demo also presents some other niceness, like the cool and original intro with the the gun; the horizontal twist-scroller and the concluding part, with 55 sideborder dycp's over a great Elfquest picture by Richard Nygaard... All to nice, exclusive music! Yeah, I like this... [glenn] That's The Wave It Is (1991, 30.03, File demo). code: HBH, Bjørn Røstøen, Olav Mørkrid, gfx: Richard Nygaard, Bjørn Røstøen (chars), music: Geir Tjelta/Moz(ic)Art, Ole Marius Pettersen/ Prosonix, Richard Nygaard. 4th in the Horizon Easter Party demo competition. review: Another nice production by PD this, with the natural climax still being Richard Nygaard's fantastic pictures. In this demo it comes at the very end, and sure takes its sweet time displaying onto the screen! The rest of the demo is quite ordinary, to be blunt. As always, nice music. [glenn] Destination 91 (1991, 30.03, File demo). code: Stein, gfx: Ole Marius, Stein (chars), music: Ole, Stein, Lars. Released at The Horizon Easter Party 91. review: PD present an original, goodlooking 'music demo‘ in cooperation with Prosonix here. That means five tunes of supreme Prosonix quality, and quite frankly that just can‘t be a bad thing! :) When the graphics are cool too, and the coding part works, you've pretty much got yourself a winner. Just note that this demo focuses on the music, not on coding, so there's no fancy effects. Just some cool graphics (love the two cool dudes talking!) and even cooler music. Niceness. Also known as ‘Destination II‘. [glenn] From Panoramic With Love (1991, 17.05, File demo). code: Olav Mørkrid, gfx: Bjørn Røstøen, music: Lars Hoff/Prosonix. review: Hehe... More of an intro than a demo, this one was released just to fuck over Flash Inc. Apparently a small argument at the Horizon party earlier in the year resulted in notes being spread, containing harsh words from the Flashers... And so we have war. :-) The intro is quite nice, though extremely simple. It's just a large scroller across the middle of the screen, and lots of pumping hearts all around it. [glenn] Psykolog (1991, summer, File demo). code: HBH, gfx: MS, music: Centurions (game), Transformers (game), Auriga (game), Zig Zag (game), Paul Norman "Forbidden Forest" (from the game), Zeb. Released at Panoramic Designs and Hoaxers party. review: I'm sorry, but I refuse to review HBH's dope fantasies. Please keep your addictions to yourselves. Promoting LSD is pathethic, and it seems to me like you've missed most of what the scene is about. [glenn] Mentallic (199x, Multiload Demo). code: n/a, gfx: Richard Nygaard, music: Olav Mørkrid, Lars Hoff, Stein Pedersen. review: Now, this is a weird demo... And one that certainly lives up to its name! You see, there's not much in the way of normal scrolltexts here... All that is occupied with small, noncoherent and suicidal stories. Trust me, it's weird. It's a good thing then, that there's so many cool effects on offer! The first showstopper for me was the 'marbles' scroller. These are balls with a letters mapped onto them, making up a scroller. The balls bounce, and as they do, the letters swim around 'inside' them, as if they were filled with water! Very cool. Also worth mentioning is the 'blue' part, with its plasmalike effects, and the amazing picture in the endpart. [glenn] Pez in My Brain (199x, File demo). code: n/a, gfx: n/a, music: n/a. review: There are no credits given with this demo, but from the facts that HBH coded 'The Pezed Bars', and this also contains dope romantic elements (pictures of pipes and marihuana leafs) I'm assuming he's behind this too. Nice last part with the balls. Probably did that on a day when you had no grass in the house, eh? [glenn] The Pezed Bars (199x, File demo). code: HBH, gfx: HBH, Bjørn (chars), music: Paul Norman, Johannes Bjerregaard, ???/Origo. review: I'm not gonna review this piece of shit dope promoter of a demo.

I can't believe PD would release this pile of digital dung. They can't be fucking serious? I refuse to comment further. Well, OK, the plasma shit was kind of okay. The release date is a guess, based on them mentioning an easter party in the past tense. It's uncertain whether MS is Marius Skogheim or Morten Salthe...

The board WARES DOMINE went to Triad sometime in the first few months of the year. The group was then dealt a fatal blos when germans Sting (89), Maniac (89) and Joe Cool (89) departed for the Ikari + Talent cooperation. Former member Wildstyle then recruited Tyger, Brego, Godzilla and Crockett for his newly formed C64 section of TRSI, and thus the group was dead. =( Corruption #8 (1990 late?, Diskmag). review: This was the last issue released under the Paramount label; subsequent ones were released by Genesis Project. Paramount [new] (-1993) ----------------------- GER> Lynx (Joerg Kosicki, swap). ???> D.R.I (swap), Exhibit (swap), Hunter (lead crack modem), Spitfire (crack modem), Syndicate (code). Paramount was rebuilt late 92 or early 93 (probably :-) by Hunter/ex Talent, and died after a short while. This was mostly due to a supposed copy party being arranged by Hunter, which proved to be nothing but a joke. The members of his group, who had travelled far to attend, did not see the humour. Read the article about this incident in Fairlight's "Reformation #2" [05/93]. 1993 - Slayer left for the Amiga scene early this year. Co-leader, cracker and modem trader Bigfoot left the scene in may. Knobby (trade) left for Excess in may. Partners In Crime (PIC) ----------------------- ENG> Rasta (gfx), Romeo (code).

In a memberlist in the note for their demo "The Royal Scam" [91], they claim to also have an Amiga coder, Fredrik Eriksson. The name of the group comes from an album title by Steely Dan. 1993 - In the first few months of the year, SMC joined the musicgroup The Imperium Arts as his second group, and made quite a few tunes for their release of "Zakplayer 3.2" [04/93]. Gaucho (Demo). Apprently made before the game 'Phaedra'. Phaedra (File Game). code: Fredrik Blom, gfx: Mikael Edlund, music: SMC/Skyline Technics. review: Phaedra is, quite simply, just another TETRIS. No frills, really, just another TETRIS. There are far worse than this around, of course, but there are also quite a few that's better. Some better brick graphics and some sound effects would have helped a lot! [glenn] Batmania (1990, spring, File). code: Fredrik Blom, gfx: Jonas Holmsten, Micke Edlund (chars), music: JCH (intro), Maniacs of Noise (demo). review: A pretty standard tie-in demo, made to 'cash in' on the then new 'Batman The Movie'. The intro part is a simple logo and upscroller, while the demo part is a standard scroller and an animated picture of the batguy himself. All graphics seem original, and quite acceptable. Both music pieces are ripped, but are quite good. Found a copy of this on a disk where everything else was from may 1990, so that may give you a good indication that the release date was somewhere thereabouts =] [glenn] The Royal Scam (1991, late, Multiload Demo). code: Fredrik Blom, gfx: Mikael Edlund, Jonas Holmsten, music: Sanke Choe, JCH/Vibrants, TDM/Triad. review: Another nice demo from Pretzel Logic, with some nicely designed parts. The best two are the one with the animated person in the swing, and the Palm Beach part. A nice demo, with glimpses of a good atmosphere in places. There's nothing really wrong with this demo, it's just not fabulous. It's good, but not exceptional. All included music (including the JCH tunes) appear to have been made exclusively for this demo. This is supposedly the first time ever a tune is released written by JCH in his digi player (samples, not just synthetic sound). There is also a note in addition to the demo. They‘ve used their own noter, and it's pretty nice. It was coded by Fredrik Blom, with graphics by Mikael Edlund and music by JCH/Vibrants. This demo introduced Johannes Sjogren as a new member.
