Plantage

Wow man, than was amazing. Angelic and beautiful stuff.

Wow, the screenshots from Machinarium look absolutely incredible. Samarost 1 and 2 are among the best online games I've ever played, so I'm pretty excited. I'm pretty sure Plantage is old though, I believe I saw it a while back. Maybe I'm just dreaming...

Rough translation of the Danish lyrics:

Dancing so quietly
In the empty halla
Nodding against glass

Outside the plantation grow
The low whisper of the tribes
The crystals edge

And time is crisp
A pidgin with a beating heart
When (you) stop and listen

To the dreams of the plants out there
Seaping in through the seams
And the fabric crackling to the floor.

Ah, Under Byen, legendry band (in my oppinion anyway) and the images go so well ^_^

heheh, I havnt been commenting round here much in the last year or so, but I have been here, just being quiet ;)

OMG! OMFG! These Amanita guys are driving me nuts with the sheer awesomeness and completeness of their graphics. And now with Björkesque musical accomaniment. Amazing.

Sorry about the missing screenie. It's fixed now.

lovely.

Hey Frederik, thank you for the lyrics.
(Denmark is a great place by the way. I love your kanelstang, and also the lavish use of icing on your pastries. Oh yeah, and there is a kagehuset in København that makes the best cake ever, worldwide. And now your bands are cool as well...)

It is absolutely impossible to describe what the Samorost games (and now this animation) do to my emotions. It's that indescribable reaction that tells me I'm experiencing true art. It's what I am constantly searching for in a gaming experience as well. What I love about this site is that there are so many other people who understand that. I can hardly wait for their next game.

That video has been made years ago. Anyway, music and visuals are really good.

Yes, Plantage is not new, but we've never featured it here before, so it's new to us.

And we do love to feature things like this, even though it's just an animation. It brings necessary color to our world, as dsrtrosy mentions (Thanks, dsrtrosy!).

And it does whet our appetites for more great things to come this year from Amanita design. :)

Maybe I'm just small-minded, but wasn't that supposed to be a game?

Nope, it's an animation. I don't believe it was ever designed to be a game, nor did we label it as such. It's a music video for Under Byen created by Amanita Design.

It's a nice animation but i'm dying for a new game from amanitadesign. I already finished both Samorosts.

The "Plantage" music was premiered online in November of 2004. But I hadn't seen it in a while, so that was great. Thanks for the reminder.

Anyone curious about the music should check out should visit Under Byen's MySpace at www.myspace.com/underbyen (as their website www.underbyen.dk is down at the moment). For more detailed info see the "fansite" at www.larsdideriksen.com .

The album from which "Plantage" comes is from 2002 is called "Det er mig der holder træerne sammen" (It's Me Keeping The Trees Together) and is in my humble opinion a bit of a masterpiece. It was their second album of so far three in total. They also released some EPs. A new live EP comes out next month which actually has Plantage on it where the band plays it together with a bit symphonic orchestra.

When Amanita came out with this music video it was great to finally see a video when that came two years later. Felt a bit like a "remix" of a song one already knew very well.

Just 1 word.... wow....

I can't get to the page. Maybe it's too busy, maybe it's down. But you can get a (smaller) look at the video here:

Or just go to YouTube and search for "Plantage".

have you played wogger?

I think when you find anything by Amanita for the first time you are comletetly blown away by the beauty and adorablitiy (is that a word) of the whole thing its like
an addiction and you are always left craving more

I cant fault anything
