In 1985, a home computer was born that would bring the concept of multimedia to the masses – not from IBM, not from Apple, but from Commodore. Its name was Amiga. It did not take long for an underground scene to rise up and unleash the hidden powers that these seemingly simple machines had to offer. Demos were the quickest way to leave the biggest impression, to express creativity, or to just get attention. Through the 90s, demos evolved into music video-like animations, and the Amiga led the demos on the bleeding edge of design. Long after Commodore ceased production of the Amiga, demos were still created to maintain its glory.

For those who were there (and those who were not), MindCandy Volume 2: Amiga Demos presents a collection of 30 of the best demos to come out of the Amiga demoscene over the past twenty years. Also included with this compilation are audio commentary, a featurette of a European demoparty, a color guidebook, menu music by Little Bitchard, and more.
