  • 5 Star Review  What an amazing trip down memory lane. I was simultaneously reading and going to Youtube/Soundcloud to find all the Demo's and amazing music from that time period. Both books are well worth getting if you were at all involved in the Demo scene or if you just loved the productions.

    5 Star Review  I hesitated to buy these books for a long time, but in the end I didn't regret it. I grew up with the Amiga and the demo scene was an important part of my youth (I'm almost 50 now). Reading the book and watching the corresponding demos on YouTube at the same time gave me a lot of great dejavu. The background information on the respective programmers, graphic designers and musicians is also very interesting, although there could have been a little more of it. I bought the first two parts together and am looking forward to the third part being released.

  • 5 Star Review  The editing and layout of the book are of very high quality. The large number of images and logos is impressive, highly diverse, and very original. It evokes nostalgia for past eras and serves as an excellent source of inspiration, especially when compared to the bland and soulless type design often seen nowadays.
