My job is demonstrating audio equipment at corporate level, while setting up the gear i often play this demo, client (weve never met b4) walks in just after the tubular bells bit and looks at me with a massive smile and says "Jesus on Fucking Es man"...

This video is 433MB, crazy to think the original is simply 2x 880 KB floppy disks!

still as stunning today in 2025 :P was this that got me into trackers and DAWs, thanks! :D

I have great memories of the track, I had just purchased a Amiga 500 and I couldn’t believe what it was capable of at the time, All on two discs. I always played this and it inspired me to get into computing, fidonet, octamed Darkside BBS writing webpages in notepad, wrote my first ever email on a Amiga. The Amiga what a machine. And thank you all the demo crews who pushed the Amiga hardware.

10 year old me played this on loop in a dark room. Might explain why I grew up loving the raves/sessions 😂😂😂

Still, to this day, a huge inspiration for my own work... I've always viewed Jesus on E's as something like a milestone at the intersection of art, computing, and geek culture. This was absolutely jaw-dropping at the time, and a genuine a "Beatles On Ed Sullivan" moment for many of us -- The same kids who saw this when it came out would later grow up and revolutionize everything from the music industry to the role of computers in art, because they saw what computers could do when the limits were pushed. I'm glad they called it "Jesus on E's"... because to call it "OMFG" would have been a bit too on-the-nose. :)

Despite being only 16 bit this mix is probally one of the best to ever exist!!!!
Youngsters wouldn't understand this was the cutting edge of rave dance music in early 90s🥳❤🥳
All of these samples are from experimental rave music from 1990, things were dark/ breakbeat and very bassy 🥳🥳🥳
1990+ were the best days of my life!

OMG thank you so much for uploading this! Remember being utterly blown away by this around age 13.

God bless the Amiga, so many fantastic early 90’s hardcore tracks produced on her.

[hexial]

Oooff, that Rolf Harris sample didn't age well 😂 Absolutely love this demo tho 🖤

[Stevieboy]

Great demo for the time and cool music. Always made me chuckle how they used the Chuck D sample from Power of the People, which goes "and you thought the beat slowed down, c'mon" but on the screen they put "In your thoughts would be slowed down" lol. Gotta love misheard lyrics

[georgentavelis]

A timeless masterpiece! This is what exactly this demo is! I still remember when I saw this for the first time to my cousins amiga due to the fact that it needed 2 disk drives to work :D

[InArneSlotWeTrust]

Fucking hell, ths was Amazing back in da day, still sounds fking mint 32 years later!

[martynandfran]

Bought this for 10p at a car boot sale in with a load of copied Amiga games. Best 10p I ever spent. Probably watched it 100 times before getting my own decks. What a life changing moment that was.

[gnladiyfunclub]

Raved to this a lot as a kid. Amiga 600. Two discs. Even copied it on to a tape so we could play it on the school bus . Hahahaha

[squits]

The amount of times, like today, that I've been drunk with this playing are uncountable.

[allanhegney]

I actually connected my hi fi to my Amiga & recorded this whole thing on cassette tape for my walkman back in the day! 12:52
