A pleasant, quiet experience is Halogens Length and Brecht, an ambient track that meanders in and out of the dream-state. This EP is Halogens track along with three remixes, each one a superb take on the original. The remixes cover styles ranging from glitch to chillout to idm. This is a great set of music, don’t miss it.
We vs. Death – A Black House, A Colored Home
Nice melodic set of post rock. On their latest album, We vs. Deaths musical ramblings go all over and they aren’t afraid to explore any aural territory. The Dutch five-piece features the standard bass, guitar and drums, plus trumpet and even a concertina. If you’re a post rock fan, you definitely don’t want to miss this.
Paranoid Definition – Snow Tales
Paranoid Definition – by the name alone, we are already introduced to a theme of madness, and madness is what we get in these three tracks of dirty, almost industrial electro. Rasping synth patches and relentless hip hop beats overlayed with sounds that could come straight out of a haunted mental institution make for 13 minutes of awesome sound that will get straight into your brain.
Test test test
Work stinks. Everything is broken, no one does anything right, all the good people are fired. Why am I still here aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!
Xavier Rudd Live at Winstons Beach Club on 2004-09-15
Xavier Rudd is an Australian folk artist. He plays many instruments, and he shines on the Didgeridoo. Here is a live concert from 2004, a perfect showcase of Xavier’s talent. My particular favorite is his song Let Me Be, a tune I’ve had stuck in my head for years now.
Socket Science – Ephedra
Three tracks of groovin’ funky house tunes. Socket Science creates a dark landscape of thick synthesizers and swinging drum beats and absolutely insane melodic elements that go all over the place and drag you along as well.
Mo Town Junkie and Joe Jetson – The Worst of Jetson and Junkie
Now this is just weird. We’ve featured Mo Town Junkie before, well this time he has teamed up with Joe Jetson to bring you seven tracks of instrumental hip hop confusion. And you can believe me when I say that these two definitely put the ‘mental’ in instrumental. This is not for everyone – it’s music that you must be patient to hear. But once you hear it, you’ll understand where it’s coming from. And then you too will be mad like me.

Our Ceasing Voice – Passenger Killed in Hit and Run
Quiet and moving, Our Ceasing Voice trips over musical waves, cresting and crashing alternately. At times ambient, other times heavy, the guitar and drums are masterfully crafted into electronic droning sounds and combine to form a musical whole like no other.
Loss of a Child – Carry Me Home
An amazing post-rock album! One of the best yet by Loss Of A Child. Carry Me Home is well produced, heavily written post-rock that makes use of guitar and drums for a standard post-rock sound but adds piano and strings on top of that to give it an orchestral feel, a labyrinth of intricacies and variations. This entire release actually feels like a soundtrack to a movie – a movie that I’d definitely want to see. I think I’ll use it as the soundtrack for the movie that plays in my head all day long…
Slow – Strange Dreams
Though ambient is not normally my thing, there is enough motion here to keep my interest all the way through. Strange Dreams is a release that is light and airy at times, dark and heavy at others, but guaranteed to relax you when listened to properly. Fourteen tracks clocking in at just under one hour, this release features plenty of details to keep your attention focused, even going so far as to include vocals in some places.
