Such a beautiful demo! Great music. So many smashing effects. Amazing transitions. And the overall aesthetics are just perfectly executed.

Just TOO good! ;)
Almost forgot about the entire Theme, which was awkward from the beginning! ;)

This is perfect! Sight & sound. Manages to simultaneously be oldschool and contemporary. Retro future at its best.

I loved this. I would have loved to watch this at the party. the neon glow you achieved is unbelievable. I know a bunch of people liked TSOR more, but for me this one is ahead ever so slightly.

This is the demo that got me fully hooked on C64 demos - tons of style, so much feeling, and a Flex soundtrack to die for. Triad, please, more!!

This production made me think of "Fascination 2 - Into the Neon Rain"
a more than 10 years old PC demo :)

Great theme.. worked out really well..
Hmm Abaddon left Triad? That would be a shame..

This is Demo Quality! (not dealer ;)

Keep it up ya all!

Worthy winner though it was a tough choice to pick a favourite during the compo. After watching this a bunch of times it is probably my favourite TRIAD demo to date. Great flow, transitions and overall design accompanied by a perfect soundtrack and some really nice effects.

So, a retro demo on a retro computer that feels fresh! I love it! When watching it on the stream, I thought "adjust your tracking? What the F! Somebody get that camera working now or I'll blow a fuse!" Seeing it again, and of course seeing it was part of the demo made me laugh out loud! Love details like this. Excellent stuff, all the way through, if this or the Shape demo deserved to win I have no idea, you're both going in my KEEPERS collection, that's for sure.

This is my type of demo! I'm a sucker of synthwave-styleish things. And having a theme that works very well trough the whole demo is so wonderful to see. And that Flex made a fantastic soundtrack that fits so good to this demo, doesn't make it worse either ;) Worthy winner!

Great retro feel to the 80s. Love it!
So many beautiful effects and cool stuff in here. Only thing I missed in that 80s trip is the Miami Vice track by Jan Hammer lol, but the SID in the demo is just gorgeous.

TRIAD - The ride never ends does it... you just push on and create cool beautiful and technically advanced demos... I think I can not even decide in my mind who should have won, you won and that is supercool. I congratulate both you and Shape for just creating some incredible nice demos. WOW!

Very nice demo, and I have also seen those videos on youtube and had the ideas. :) But you were the one actually making it. Kudos for the effort.

Congratulations on winning the competition.
Neon is a very well designed demo, with great graphics and effects.
No room for pause. Just instant action. Love it.
We tried our best. But I think yours deserved the 1st place.
Cheers. :)

Nice work, although I have to admit, this would have worked a lot better for me if also the soundtrack followed the 80s theme.

What a coincidence :)
Since a couple of weeks, I continuously play these two albums and have been thinking about the demo in such style:

Great production guys!
Awesome soundtrack from Flex. Even though it doesn't really follow retro wave concept, it still fits demo nicely!
User Comment
Submitted by Flex on 12 February 2017
My first approach into modern times of making demos.. Nice experience and just the challenge I was hoping for. I added the original soundtrack which -for understandable reasons- ended up being cut a little to keep up the flow better. Great guys these Triad dudes! :-)

I really liked this, so very 80s style! ;-) It's got the grid, the Lambo Countach, the Ferrari Testarossa, the venetian blind fades - it's like Kung Fury as a demo! 8) All I missed was some big hairdo people, flamingos and Aerobic outfits! ;-D
