To me, anyway The original Mass Effect had its problems - loading times, graphical glitches - but was still a masterful RPG. It was a game that effortlessly sucked you into its inter-planetary sci-fi storyline and made you actually care about the characters and not just the weapon or ability they added to the party. The stunning facial animations helped here - way more impressive than Bioware's other...

This is a great voice-modulated cut-up of Carl Sagan lines from Cosmos which brought memories flooding back. Cosmos had a huge impact on me when I was a boy. Sagan really opened my mind to the immensity and the beauty of the universe. He was a great communicator, and I still vividly remember many of the sequences. Perhaps more unusually for someone not blessed with any inherent scientific literacy,...

YouTube via musicajuro "I recorded the album "1986" entirely with a Casio CZ-3000. There are no over dubs, no external FX used, and no computer processing to change the sound in any way. 1986 is largely inspired by the classic ambient sounds of the 1980s like Steve Roach, Klaus Schulze, and the Blade Runner soundtrack by Vangelis. You can get a full length flac version at http://justinrobert.bandcamp.com...

By Joe, www.Bettingexpert.com Lazio Manager Davide Ballardini is barely hanging by the thread as he enters another week of do or die to his career at Lazio. Another defeat at the Stadio Olimpico for Lazio on Sunday afternoon could be the last draw for the board and for the fans with Ballardini coaching methods. Bologna are no better off so this bottom half tie could be a vital one if both want to escape...

This weekend was all about Emptyset : Check out the track "Awake" on their Myspace account. That track is representative of the dou's (James Ginzburg and Paul Purgas) general approach to sound design—severe, minimal, and architectural. But in the middle of these dust, digital, artificial, micro constructions, there sometimes appears a funky house beat. When the two meet (funky beat...

I experienced my first Peaches concert Wednesday night when the Canadian electro pop superstar's arrived for a hometown show at Toronto's Phoenix Concert Theatre. I'd swooned over "Kick It" for years, and this was my anthem in high school, but unlike every other gay in the city, I'd never had the pleasure of seeing the woman herself. It was worth the wait. A frenzied crowd packed the venue...

David Bowie – Crystal Japan No posts for a while so I thought I’d come through with a little something for the weekend. David Bowie is a rather divisive figure among Dilate Choonz bloggers – some of us think he’s a genius, others think he’s a complete dud. I must admit that listening to 80s albums like Tonight and Never Let Me Down would swing one towards the latter category...

Zombi / Titan's Steve Moore brings the sci-fi synth to his usual palette of horror movie instrumentals and twisted doom. Two perfect sides of epic space synth! Steve Moore – Fever Dream b/w 30,000 Feet Deep 10" Moore dives into these instrumentals with as much an ear for prog as for 70's planetarium exploration tapes. Though he stops just short of making listeners feel trapped in a 3rd grade...
