Systems Theory: Codetalkers
2008-03-24 by Mike Dickson
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're
interested.

Before 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.mp3
For those not familiar with us wanting some reference point names think of 70s Tangerine Dream spaciness + riffy Hawkwind-ish spacerock heaviness + a bit of Krautrock a la Can + some Mike Oldfield "pastoral" prog + some of the unusual not-too glossy-newage/ambient music a la Eno, Harold Budd, William Orbit + some modern electronic trance + sound collage 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. Give the concentrate a listen and if you like it invest some time to download 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 to get to the ISO image + jpegs. As soon as we have those in place and tested.
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 you might not. I know it's cheesy to play the 'tron card, but what the hell. We're 'tron geeks and not ashamed of it! You know you want it so go get your fix! :-)
