 #demo review#&lt;br /&gt;
 ;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   this month i, guru, will be reviewing&lt;br /&gt;
rastan's latest demo's ie. LEANNE and&lt;br /&gt;
his DIGITRACKS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
   remember dudes, this review is based&lt;br /&gt;
on my own personal opinions&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LEANNE&lt;br /&gt;
££££££&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    the first of the three files takes&lt;br /&gt;
 ages to load, being about 200 blocks&lt;br /&gt;
long. i can't figure out why it is so&lt;br /&gt;
big as the code is obsolete, and the&lt;br /&gt;
music doesn't sound at all like it is&lt;br /&gt;
digitised. i must admit though the song&lt;br /&gt;
is a good pick&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    the entire screen flickers as the&lt;br /&gt;
logo changes from LEANNE to RASTAN and&lt;br /&gt;
the technique used to decorate the&lt;br /&gt;
scroll's colouring looks like a glitch&lt;br /&gt;
in the programme.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    the music, though, is very good but&lt;br /&gt;
definately shouldnt take up so much room&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    the second part is about 5 seconds&lt;br /&gt;
of a song that has been digitised. it&lt;br /&gt;
is very clear but that is due to the&lt;br /&gt;
fact that it only goes for 5 seconds,&lt;br /&gt;
the singing is higher pitched than&lt;br /&gt;
average. overall, this part was a yawn&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    last and least is a small part where&lt;br /&gt;
rastan has compiled about 6 digitised&lt;br /&gt;
pictures of himself (about 130 x 90&lt;br /&gt;
pixels) scrolling slowly across the top&lt;br /&gt;
of the screen, with a 1x1 scroll down&lt;br /&gt;
the bottom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    suprisingly, however, even though&lt;br /&gt;
the demo is relatively basic and simple,&lt;br /&gt;
when the music progresses, about once&lt;br /&gt;
every 5 seconds the screen flickers 'coz&lt;br /&gt;
it can handle the strain of the music&lt;br /&gt;
taking up more raster time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
    overall, LEANNE is a basic demo with&lt;br /&gt;
big timing and layout problems.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
DIGITRACKS&lt;br /&gt;
££££££££££&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     another three part demo by rastan&lt;br /&gt;
that features a very very long digitised&lt;br /&gt;
song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     at the beginning there is an&lt;br /&gt;
incredibly LAME intro, after which, the&lt;br /&gt;
song starts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     a good point about this demo is&lt;br /&gt;
that aven though it is a very long song,&lt;br /&gt;
the computer doesn't have to stop to&lt;br /&gt;
load the next part as it uses and IRQ&lt;br /&gt;
LOADER (this lets the computer load file&lt;br /&gt;
s while still running a programme).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     the song is actually made up of 3&lt;br /&gt;
files which are loaded throughout the&lt;br /&gt;
playing. part of the reason that rastan&lt;br /&gt;
was able to produce such a long&lt;br /&gt;
recording was that the playback's&lt;br /&gt;
quality was below average and parts of&lt;br /&gt;
the song repeated themselves throughout&lt;br /&gt;
the song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     the actual 'music' was very poor in&lt;br /&gt;
my opinion. it didn't sound much better&lt;br /&gt;
than synchronised static with a few&lt;br /&gt;
'hoys' and 'yows' in it. towards the end&lt;br /&gt;
though, the sounds turned into&lt;br /&gt;
recognisable music, but just as i&lt;br /&gt;
started to wake up and realise that i&lt;br /&gt;
could understand the static, the end was&lt;br /&gt;
thrust upon my via an sys 64738 command,&lt;br /&gt;
ending the demo,&lt;br /&gt;
                and thus ending another&lt;br /&gt;
                captivating epsode of -&lt;br /&gt;
