This was a great pack (as usual).
Since I saw the Singularity-preset in my head on a trip on some wierd chemicals (when you first released it). I will always remember it and its a great preset.
The 3dtimeoszilloscope is wicked! The spindle's morphing is so f*ng smooth. Atomic and Atomic 2 are also really nice.
accually the only preset i didn't like was the colorangel. It looks like a "newpick-preset" for the first avs ever or something like that.
The reflexionsonacolorgan isn't a fav aswell. too much colorchanges and not so smooth movement.
The others rocks! keep up the good work!

For people who want to buy a new camera, READ THIS
Ultra sweet presets: FTLXX, singularity, redskies..., untitledstyle..., layering, 3dtime..., atomicxx,solar station, gyrossc, stormy sea2
Didn't really like: colorangel, masterplan,plasmalights, experimental.
hypnotized by sound: it looks really sweet, but it is too fast for me.
I still stand amazed with what you can do with only little code with everytime you release new work.
You really have a way with colors.
Review: *=1 star, '=0.5 star _=no star
Intro - Kinda simple, looks like there's some plastic wrapped around it thanks to the intense colors. ****_
Spirals - Looks cool and runs really fast. ****_
FTL02 - an almost 2d dotplane rotating in 3d... Looks cool thanks to the intense colors. ***'_
Singulatity - cool.. just cool. dunno what else to say ****_
red skies over paradse 2 - WHOA!!! so realistic. instant 5-star without looking at the sourcecode *****
The masterplan - Good preset in itself, but a bit disappointing after a preset like red skies. Borg-ish. ***'_
FTL01v2 - a 3D tunnel created by t2 dots. I think a colored version would have been better here. I know you created it as a test, but still... ***__
Atomic - Feels like a cubic Disco-sphere
Colorangel - I agree with the others here. It looks too much like aztek but it's not as good by far. ***__
Hypnotized by sound - Cool - a bit too fast perhaps ***'_
Redlight - Green light - If it were supposed to be realistic, then what would be the sattelites? if it were supposed to be a music visualizer, it looks cool, but gets boring really fast. ****_
Wipeout2 - I too have tried to create a SW Podracer (that's what it is right?) a while ago but found it a bit difficult to rotate it properly. Interactivity isn't very noticable though. ****_
Plasmalights - Shagadellic, but seen toooooo often. I already did this somewhere in June 2000 or so.
Untitledstylething - Nice... I like the black borders here. Unlike a lot of other presets around, they really look good here. ****' (doubting towards *****)
Layering - AVS in it's purest form *****
Aztek - Showing how to use the ever-annoying gridsize properly... I still love this style of presets. ****_
Gravity - // checks behind his monitor if there's another DM or so... // Is that DM really all the movement there is?!? There's got to be a movement, right? Whatever... *****
FTL03v2 - Okay , now I want to know what FTL stands for... looks cool ***'_ (doubting towards ****_)
Experimental02 - Dude, make more experiments
Timeosziloscope - You've gotta have one pure SSC-based preset right?
Atomic2 - A little dark on the colors.. Like the origional better. ***'_
Reflexions On A Color Organ - Plasma'ish.. like a 256 color monitor emulating a picture.. ****'
Total: A very varied pack. Top class as we're used from you. (<--that almost sounds like I'm not amazed, but believe me, I really am) Still little points to work on, but this pack is worth a daylydev, at least a
Overall score: ****(3/4) stars

Spindle - Looks cool if a little simple ***'_
Solarstation - Funny somehow. ***'_
Gyrosuperscope - You could have made the visualizerscopes cillindral. Has an old-paper feeling to it ***'_
Stormysea2 - Again, an instant 5-star. This is really insane. *****

stormysea2 is also great. the best sea/skyscape i've seen so far although you need to work on the music reaction of the clouds i think
singularity is great scope work!
Presets I like:
Singularity: wonderful scoping on the vortex, but maybe the wires should be replaced by something more visible?
Red Skies Over Paradise 2: great could texture, wonderful preset
Atomic: The d=-d mirroring makes this preset a bit dizzifying. I prefer without. Maybe the coloring on the cube could be a little less random RGB? Also (and this goes for your other 3d texer presets), you should rescale sizex/sizey based on 1/z to get correct depth sizeing. In your case: sizex=2*ns*col/div;sizey=sizex; (beware cos you calculate sizex before div now).
Hypnotized by sound: great texture. Still, the onbeat re-zoom is a bit too jarring. A smoother (maybe 3D?) version would rock.
Wipeout: nice solid scoping... it's a bit slow (movement-wise, not fps-wise) though.
Untitled Style thing: cool sphere! reminds me of the good ol' Amiga
Aztec: nice shapes, but the coloring is a bit too random for my taste
Gravity: cool! The solid bands give it that extra touch.
FTL03: the only one of the FTLs which I like, though only with the particle size changed as described above for atomic. The FTLs could all use a little more response.
Spindle: simple and very responsive. You could easily make a solid version of this though, just occlude either one of the caps with the center, or the center with one of the caps. A background would help remove the emptyness around it.
Gyrosuperscope: Cool and stylish.
Stormysea: wonderful preset, very relaxing... looks like zevensoft has competition for Ocean presets
I don't really like the others, sorry
