Olchey! Tuvan throat singing at it’s finest. This is a video of a concert by a group apparently called Olchey. Not much information is availiable at the site, but trust me – it’s worth the download. There are five members, all playing various stringed instruments, with two (maybe three?) vocalists performing in the Tuvan throat singing style. This is a must download video! It requires the DivX player, and it’s a large file (550 MB) so you’ll want to have broadband to get this. Enjoy!
Geppy – A Matter Of Time EP
Mad mad break rock! Electro, world, breakbeat, and who knows what else make up these outstanding two tracks. The first track, A Matter Of Time, is breakbeat mixed with some RATM style guitar / distorted synth type sounds, fast paced and nonstop all the way through. The second track, Rootsick, is a tad more soulful and cerebral, while maintaining the same pace as the first track. If you don’t listen to anything else you find here, at least listen to Geppy.

It’s hot.
FieldTriqp – Eidolon EP
Ethereal pads, heavy beats. Ambient music, with a kick. I really liked the way these five tracks flow together. Fieldtriqp also offers a bonus video for one of their tracks. If you like dreamy relaxation music, you’ll love this.

Bear with me, I’m converting the site to php so if you see weird error messages here and there then please let me know.
Soviet Architecural Art
Some interesting Soviet Architectural Drawings from the thirties. These were all unrealised projects, as the website says. Learn some soviet history and see cool artwork at the same time.

There is a new forum. If you’ve already registered, well, you’ll have to re-register. Sorry about that, but I switched forum software and there’s no way to transfer the database from one to the other so we’re starting all over. Make sure you register! I will try to transfer the messages from the old forum to the new, but it will be a time consuming process.

New forum! Come one, come all! I installed phpBB2 and it’s looking pretty sharp at the moment, I plan to create an ‘orbit’ theme later so stay tuned.
Transfer One
The first release from the netlabel Transfer. Trance music! There are four tracks from various artists, each with their own style.
Twile – Chiaroscuro
Chilled but edgy, mellow but energetic with thump. Twile is reminiscent of Ace Of Bass with a vague hint of dub influence. Make sure you listen to the third track, ‘True Bohemian’. There is an interesting effect used, at one point the sound moves under your feet and behind your head. You also get an excellent remix of each of the two tracks, done by Joko13 and Dataman.
