In the not so distant past, the personal computer was invented. Shortly thereafter, software arrived and inevitably software "crackers." So began the early demos, then known as “crack intros,” which were placed in pirated software. The artistic entertainment we now call "demos" has come a long way from its infamous past. This first volume of MindCandy explores the world of creative real-time animated music videos made by talented programmers, artists and musicians from the PC demo scene. Side one delivers some eye candy with lots of color and 3D effects, while side two provides a historical, “oldschool” progression of PC demos. Sit back and prepare for enlightenment. Free your mind and let us take you on a journey of colorful visual expressions, eclectic music and animated objects from a different world–a world of “demos,” originating from the European computer underground and created by talented programmers, artists and musicians. The MindCandy DVD contains forty-two of these animated music videos, providing a modern day look and historical perspective all created using a PC. Also included are audio commentary, a featurette on the history and making of demos, a color booklet, menu music by demoscene musicians and more.

The computer demo scene consists of programmers, artists, musicians and enthusiasts who enjoy creating and/or being entertained by computer graphics-and-sound demonstration programs. These “demos,” as they are called, are much like music videos for the computer and are often created by people in their late teens to early twenties.
