Audiofanzine Linn Records - A Lost Connection Enigmatic and reclusive Manchester based musicians Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley have consistently avoided publicity and rarely grant interviews. A Lost Connection, their third album, is shaped around themes of isolation and disconnection, inspired by images of withdrawal from the world, a kind of inward journey in which desolation and remoteness are key factors. Marconi Union have been credited with some of the finest ambient albums of the past decade, and feature in sound tracks on many blockbuster movies and TV series.

Galactic Pile-Up May Point to Mysterious New Dark Force in the Universe LONG BEACH, California — By closely mapping the mass of an enormous galactic collision, astronomers may have uncovered a type of force that only affects dark matter. The results come from observations of the Musket Ball Cluster, a vast celestial object located about 5.23 billion light-years away in the constellation Cancer. Galaxies are usually gravitationally bound to other galaxies, creating massive galactic clusters. The Musket Ball Cluster is an example of what happens when two such galactic clusters – each composed of hundreds of individual galaxies – crash into one another. Scientists know the visible stars in these galaxies make up only about 2 percent of the total mass in the cluster. The week's best videos, featuring Future, DJ Koze and more Welcome to FACT’s weekly video round-up. As we note at the end of every year, music videos have never been better.

And to remove our bias, we won’t be including our own content — you’ll have to stay tuned to FACT TV for all your Against The Clock, FACT Freestyles and Confessions needs. Loading Video…

Buck 65 and D-Sisive are teaming up - as The Ricardo Christoff Apparatus - for a project called 100 Story Building. But we need your help to make it work… We’re looking for stories. Tell us a story about a person you know - a friend, a relative, a love interest, a co-worker, a roommate… The story should be funny, strange, tragic, inspiring, epic or all of the above. We’ll pick a bunch of the best stories and turn them into songs.

the music of sound Incase you missed the news yesterday VCV Rack has launched – when I read their URL I grok it as CV Crack.. and as per the image below, it felt confirmed after my first jam with it last night… Think of it as virtual Eurorack modular, with the initial free release providing basic modules plus a set of Mutable Instruments modules based on the same code as their great Eurorack modules.. At present it is a freestanding app, but there is a plan to provide a VST bridge and I can easily predict this future: there will be a similar explosion of new modules as per what has happened IRL over the last many years. They likely wont be free, but I applaud the long term thinking of the developers to provide the platform for free, to encourage innovation.

SoundBlog ♫ Karlheinz' Song of Praise Karlheinz's Song of Praise february 12, 2008. [ podcast :: sbpc 18 ... When Cosmo of the parisian free Radio Aligre FM's Songs of Praise asked me if I would contribute to a special edition of their fine program, in tribute of Karlheinz Stockhausen (who, as you will remember, passed away early december 2007) of course I was happy to oblige. And it was because of Songs of Praise's request that it occurred to me that, being the compulsive archivist that I am, I might still have filed away somewhere the original audio cassette that I used to record the interview with Stockhausen that Martijn Padding and I did for the dutch Vinyl Magazine ( * ), on the occasion of a five week period that Stockhausen and his band (pretty much literally) took over the Royal Conservatory in the Hague (the Netherlands), twenty five years ago, in 1982 ...
