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.
http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers/index.htmlBefore diving in for the ISO image, you might try the MP3 "concentrate"that will give you an idea of what to expect:
http://www.mikedickson.org.uk/concentrate/Systems%20Theory%20Concentrate%20%232.mp3For 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! :-)
