I firmly believe that this is one of the highest points in the entire demoscene prior to good 3D hardware.  Even now it is a masterpiece of visual and music design, more so than a mere technical achievement which it may or may not have been at the time.

It's so smooth and detailed - looking at it I think I may be able to recreate the effect.

Strangely enough, I was talking to nzo on another forum yesterday about something totally different, under his real name.  Strange, small world.

Actually it wasn't all that different.

We were talking about colorcycling effects.  (!!!!!!)  I was jokingly making fun of him about the Robotron intermission carpets and calling out his ability with cycling code!

I guess it makes sense that very few people are interested in this stuff so they would congregate in the same places.

small world indeed!

That's still up there as one of the strangest coincidences that ever happened to me.  Even considering the mitigating factors it's still pretty strange.
