After sitting on the (virtual) shelf for a long time the follow-up to"Soundtracks For Imaginary Movies" is out. The new album is called"Codetalkers". It is available as a free download. No strings,no catches. Go here to read more about it and download it if you'reinterested.

Before diving in for the ISO image, you might try the MP3 "concentrate"that will give you an idea of what to expect:

For those not familiar with us wanting some reference point names thinkof 70s Tangerine Dream spaciness + riffy Hawkwind-ish spacerockheaviness + a bit of Krautrock a la Can + some Mike Oldfield "pastoral"prog + some of the unusual not-too glossy-newage/ambient music a laEno, Harold Budd, William Orbit + some modern electronic trance + soundcollage and some strange noise.

Something like that anyway and not anywhere near as good as those guys,but plenty serviceable if that name dropping gets your interest. Givethe concentrate a listen and if you like it invest some time todownload the ISO image + jpegs.

I will follow this post up in a few days (hopefully) with a link to the"bittorrent", "soulseek" and usenet binary links for alternate ways toget to the ISO image + jpegs. As soon as we have those in place andtested.

Did I mention Mellotron? I didn't but I should. As before on "SFIM"there's more 'tron that you'll recognize as such and more than youmight not. I know it's cheesy to play the 'tron card, but what thehell. We're 'tron geeks and not ashamed of it! You know you want it sogo get your fix! :-)
