Just in case you didn't notice: There's a growing number of Amiga demo videos on the YouTube channel.
Amiga demos are just fun to watch, and oftentimes feature some fantastic music.
This is a collection of classic Amiga "multimedia", featuring demos by Ephidrena, Capsule, The Black Lotus, Spaceballs, Digital, Parallax, etc., captured from real hardware. Part of the mission is to preserve and expose the Amiga's somehow unique video capabilities, with lots of different screen resolutions, different bitmap color modes, interlaced and non-interlaced screens, changes in screen size (aka overscan), and programming of the Copper video co-processor, which results in some effects that are normally hidden beyond borders of the screen. (See for example the pink spinning shape in Digital's "Lethal Exit", that expands for a couple of seconds - nifty.)
To get you started, here's Spaceballs' "State of the Art" from 1992:
