A house ep that doesn’t disappoint. Clocking in at just under thirty minutes, this is a release that pushes all the right buttons, and scratches that techno itch in just the right spot. Track number five has got to be my favorite techno track so far this year, if for no other reason than the wobbly synth that goes crazy at about 3:40, jumping back out of the way just in time for the relentless beat to come back in.

Update
Dang! I’ve been busy with school for the last few months, it’s such a bummer. But I must do what I must, and for now the music blog is dead. 🙁 But it will rise again…
I Am The Architect – 11
From the Lost Children netlabel we have I AM THE ARCHITECT. Post rock, but with a pop edge to it. Lots of catchy melodic goodness on this solid half hour of music. IATA has a lush full sound, with many more instruments than you usually find in the standard post rock fare. Synths, piano, flute, strings, orchestral instruments adorn each track perfectly. They sound a bit like Muse, with no vox. These four fellows stand out in the world of post rock, so definitely give them a listen, then let them know what you thought on their myspace.
Mark.Nine – In Memories
Mark.Nine blesses us again with five tracks of his typical light and airy ‘ambient breakbeat’. The first track opens up with a wavering pad and a sci-fi audio sample that suddenly give way to a slow chill-out breakbeat and bassline. The rest of the EP follows suit, leaving us with a quiet and thoughtful feeling.
Part Rocket – In Limine
From the Lost Children netlabel comes Part Rocket with their release In Limine. Five tracks of chilled out post rock make an enjoyable half hour listening experience. Part Rocket likes to create huge builds, dischordant soundscapes and lots of ‘wall-of-sound’ type experiences.
Thanks to Marvin @ Free Albums Galore for pointing this release out.
Charts and Maps – Enemies of C.Frias
...
Ugh, it’s been too long. I’m done with work for the year though, so I’ll get some music posted in the next few days. To start off with, here’s Charts and Maps with their release Enemies of C.Frias. It’s four tracks of a sort of art / jazz / rock type of sound, hard to classify really. They are all over the chord scale on every track, almost to the point of experimental music, but the songs remain structured and have just enough edge to make it a worthy listen.
StillStream Radio
Hi folks. Sorry for the loooong time between updates… I’ll try to get some more music searched out and posted here pretty soon. I’ve been SO busy what with my company going out of business and all. I’m changing career paths now; I’ve decided to exit the marine industry the way a 1980’s communication satellite exits orbit – screaming down from the sky in a blaze of flame and smoke.
So, musically here’s what I have for you today. StillStream Radio, a net radio station, plays all sorts of ambient music, 24 / 7. It’s great for background noise while you’re being creative, or to fall asleep to. When I say all sorts of ambient music, I mean ALL sorts. From the website:
– Soothing light ambient
– Ambient mood music
– Impenetrable dark ambient
– Berlin-school electronic ambient
– Challenging experimental ambient
– Futuristic ambient noise
– Powerful tribal ambient
– Cinematic symphonic ambient
– Expansive space music
– Textural abstract ambient
I didn’t realize all that even existed. So enjoy some ambient sounds, be creative, and check back here in a few days – music is on the way.
Halloween Pimpkins 2008
Here’s my pumpkin that I carved this year. Can ya tell I like Batman? Also seen is my little girls ‘bat-o-lantern’.
Mountain Biking
Me and some buds went mountain biking this morning. I took video, here’s some clips I put together.
bahgheera – Space Cops
Here’s a stupid track I made to go along with a video. Fast paced corny techno, it’s really something I just did real quick and doesn’t even feature things like composition or creativity, but apparently, according to several people its a pretty hot track. So…
EDIT: And here is the video:
