`24.Feb.2003` A.D.A.	New in A.D.A. archives: 'Wild/Anadune and near Kolor' and 'Phenomeno 'Amiga Demoscene Archives' now contains the following new demos: Wild/Anadune and Nah Kolor. Yes! Probably Lazur's best slideshow and amongst the best slideshows ever! Wonderful presentation, nice music and stunning pictures. Released in 1996. Highly recommended! Phenomenon/DCS. This could have been a killer demo but it is somewhat spoiled by the slow and long 3D scene in the first part. Still, a beautiful demo from one of the most talented teams in the Amiga demoscene. As usual, stunning graphics by Adam (and optic), very cool music (Illusion and Substance) and great effects and code by Shape. Released at The Party 1998. Again, highly recommended!
