Depressing...

Probably because of: "They got busted in automn 89'."
Anyone has more background info on this?

Oh my, oh my, this one is soo simple and yet just feels so complete, i allways get that weird feeling inside when listening to that tune, like when u lost something u really, really loved......... Hmmm, maybe its a reminder of the truely great and fun times i had with my amiga back in the day and sadly those day's have passed, but i would never have missed them for the world.

I found this not good at all, or deep, or anything!
Ho-hum, a group got busted, big deal...

If you want emotions there are better demos today, though I can't think of a single one for the Amiga, they are all for C64 ;D
Check out the demos by Hollowman of Fairlight to see what I mean.

Depression sense is tingling. (Unless you were not into Amigas in the late 80s?) Not having seen this demo is like not having seen any Tomas Landspurg or Wild Copper demos.

A group getting busted caused no exceptional emotions for the groups back in the day, teen got a slap on the wrist and a new group was formed.

But if you haven't seen this demo before and your emotions for nostalgia isn't affected, you need to change something about how demos can affect you, or change something about how you can get affected by demos.

Just going by a tendency here, no offense intended.

Yeah I remained silent on your previous assumption, because I am not one to get riled up for whatever accusation a someone can make of me. Anyway, your try at analyzing my psyche is really hilarious. Sorry to disappoint you, but you don't hit the nail on the head in any of them.

As I said before, I don't follow the demoscene for nostalgia. I really am not a nostalgic person. I enjoy life without "hoping it was back like it was before".

(from Wikipedia:
The term nostalgia describes a longing for the past, often in idealized form.[1] The word is made up of two Greek roots (νόστος nostos "returning home", and άλγος algos "pain"), to refer to "the pain a sick person feels because he wishes to return to his native home, and fears never to see it again". )

That, my friend, is sad.

Meanwhile let me enjoy my demos, without a hint of that sad sad feeling.
