maneged to log in at my blog to tell you all what's going wrong. My pc is going crazy, I'm not able to access anything useful-knot even something like safe mode. I can play music and video, but say a browser goes crazy scrolling down non-stop as does every other program. First I thought it had something to do with web slice gallery which suddenly appeared, without me asking for it-no idea what it was, it seems to be a legit tool for browsers working on windows 10, some how my Mozilla browser picked it up whilst running on windows XP and totally fucked up my computer. I have no idea what to do as all roads seem to be blocked. Cannot safe/delete anything-even the start button is unavailable. Personally I don't believe this as is a virus attack, but a mysterious windows malfunction, no idea when I'm back on line-but I will be, meanwhile feel free to share your Idea as to a solution to this debacle.</p><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com150tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-78840494757235672482021-06-17T00:47:00.001+02:002021-06-17T11:12:56.274+02:00RhoDeo 2124 Expanse 46<p> Hello, now Babylon's in Ashes but we humans don't loose our hubris that easy after all we are used to celebrate ignorance..Anyway the story continues......<br /><br /> <br /><br />Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Before Einstein created his unique theorems on relativity, deflating Newton’s theories on gravity, Nikola Tesla posited the idea that electricity and energy were responsible for almost all cosmic phenomena. Tesla saw energy and electricity as an “incompressible fluid” of constant quantity that could neither be destroyed nor created.<br /><br /> If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.<br /><br />— Nikola Tesla<br /><br />xxxxx<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0C84xyRj1IzYTSUs8RVm5jMB6Lh1Q-4FFGqh7L2ZqK7CzNQYYHSziDF4HWZiMTUgr81S_OuwAsVISqWv2yioFNOcxr2dYqO0BrrhmuNKK8p-7YZjpuwabAevgiWPJvhTJIA/s1139/universe-dark.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="1139" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0C84xyRj1IzYTSUs8RVm5jMB6Lh1Q-4FFGqh7L2ZqK7CzNQYYHSziDF4HWZiMTUgr81S_OuwAsVISqWv2yioFNOcxr2dYqO0BrrhmuNKK8p-7YZjpuwabAevgiWPJvhTJIA/w400-h250/universe-dark.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br />Dark energy continues to be an astronomical mystery.<br /><br />A new European Space Agency (ESA) space-based telescope named Euclid, after the ancient Greek philosopher, has received approval for development, with a tentative launch date sometime in 2019. According to ESA, Euclid is “a mission devised to provide insight into the nature of dark energy and dark matter by accurate measurement of the accelerated expansion of the Universe.”<br /><br />Astronomers say the Universe is speeding up. The expansion of space is said to be accelerating so much that eventually all the stars and galaxies that exist will pass so far into the void that they will no longer be visible to each other. Each galaxy will become a point of light in an eternal darkness.<br /><br />A 2008 report, analyzing data provided by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), suggested that a gravitational source over the “cosmic event horizon” is pulling matter toward it with a force that exceeds the combined mass of whole superclusters. That “dark energy” is inexorably drawing the stuff of the Universe out into a lonely isolation.<br /><br />Contemporary theories suggest that galaxies are receding from Earth’s vantage point because they started out receding from us due to an inflationary event imparted by the Big Bang. Some astronomers estimate the recession velocity to be 71 kilometers per second for every 3.3 million light-years of distance. This supposed dilation of space and time is called the Hubble flow, or the Hubble constant.<br /><br />In the 1960s, redshift calculations for the galaxies close to the Milky Way indicated another motion superposed on the Hubble flow. The Local Group of galaxies, the Virgo supercluster, the Hydra-Centaurus supercluster, and other galactic superclusters are said to be moving at 600 kilometers per second toward the constellation Centaurus. This “great river of galaxies” is said to be attracted to some gigantic gravitational source over 216 million light-years away. The massive gravity structure is known as the Great Attractor.<br /><br />The Great Attractor is thought to be composed of dark matter because it cannot be seen with any telescope. It is interesting that astrophysical studies demonstrate unexpected movement whenever new instruments with improved vision are implemented.<br /><br />Almost from the beginning of modern astronomy, the Andromeda galaxy was found to be hurtling toward the Milky Way at over 320,000 kilometers per hour. Commonly held beliefs state that only gravity can exert the force necessary for Andromeda’s speed, although there appears to be insufficient luminous matter between the two galaxies to account for it. More than ten Milky Way galaxies worth of mass would be required to accelerate Andromeda, but it remains invisible.<br /><br />Over time, as better telescopes and computers were built, redshift measurements of the Local Group revealed that it is flying toward the center of the Virgo cluster at nearly two million kilometers per hour. The Virgo cluster is 50 million light years from Earth and contains two giant elliptical galaxies, M84 and M86, but whatever is tugging on that incredible mass again remains invisible.<br /><br />A group of objects called the Great Wall (or the Centaurus Wall), in which the Great Attractor is supposed to be embedded, was theorized to be the motivating factor. However, the Great Wall does not possess enough mass density to influence structures like superclusters. These various surveys (along with other data) led to the theory of dark energy.<br /><br />Certain concepts, like redshift and gravity, are fundamental to the Big Bang hypothesis. According to theory, light shifts toward the red end of the spectrum because an object is moving away. Objects interpreted to be at great distances move away faster than objects nearer to Earth, leading to the idea that the Universe is expanding.<br /><br />Notwithstanding the problems associated with redshift, previous Picture of the Day articles about WMAP, galaxy clusters, and gravity-only cosmology have elucidated a force extant in the Universe exerting an attractive power 46 orders of magnitude greater than gravity: electric filaments in space. Each “puzzling” discovery by research scientists reinforces the tenets of plasma cosmology and serves to differentiate it from the imprecise predictions of consensus models.<br /><br />Attractive forces exerted by electrified plasma contained in the twisting filaments of Birkeland currents dominate the Universe. They circulate in a cosmic circuit that flows into our field of view and then out into the void with long-range attraction between them. Therefore, the most probable “Great Attractors” are those filaments of electrified plasma with billions-of-trillion-times more intense fields of influence than gravity.<br /><br />No doubt the Universe is larger than that which we can observe at this moment: more sensitive tools continue to reveal greater depths. Out of those depths rise inconceivable electrical energies. It is there we should look for explanations and not to centuries-old hypotheses conceived in a time when none of today’s observations were possible.<br /><br />Stephen Smith<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Star clusters are large groups of stars. Globular clusters are tightly bound together and can consist of hundreds of millions of stars. Open clusters are loose groups of a few hundred stars and are mostly found within the spiral arms of the galactic plane.<br /><br />Contributor and Electric Universe advocate, Gareth Samuel, host of "See the Pattern”, examines how these open star clusters may help us map out large filament structures running along the spiral arms of the Milky Way.<br /><br />If you see a CC with this video, it means that subtitles are available.

A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Babylon's Ashes is a science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the sixth book in their The Expanse series. The title of the novel was announced in early July 2015[1] and the cover and brief synopsis were revealed on September 14, 2015<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />Following the events of Nemesis Games, the so-called Free Navy, made up of Belters using stolen military ships, has been growing ever bolder. After the crippling attacks on Earth and the Martian Navy, the Free Navy turns its attention to the colony ships headed for the ring gates and the worlds beyond. The relatively defenseless ships are left to fend for themselves, as neither Earth nor Mars are powerful enough to protect them. James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are called upon once again by what remains of the UN and Martian governments to go to Medina Station, now in the hands of the Free Navy, in the ring station. On the other side of the rings an alien threat is growing; the Free Navy may be the least of humanity's problems. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjA3JdAMW1EDh3hs5keJ5ZCj5qZYgWPyz2Io-46rMwEYty4tmAOMLhqECxPoSOlEUK-LNkrgEynRTUnJLNzKq0MYj7oZkuBfmkd4i7oyhlX9TtoR89b2OqtIgGFsf4nfirw/s712/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtjA3JdAMW1EDh3hs5keJ5ZCj5qZYgWPyz2Io-46rMwEYty4tmAOMLhqECxPoSOlEUK-LNkrgEynRTUnJLNzKq0MYj7oZkuBfmkd4i7oyhlX9TtoR89b2OqtIgGFsf4nfirw/w400-h400/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/103caab14260961941dfa0591e3d242e">James S.A.

Unfortunatly, despite being in control and getting a free penalty Denmark lost against debutant Finland 1-0 . Another shocker !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Today's artist might be considered as the main composer of contemporary sacred music. He is strongly influenced by the minimalist movement & Gregorian chant.<br />In 1958, he entered at the Tallinn Conservatoire & he became famous through USSR with his composition 'Our Garden'. At the beginning of the seventies, he began to use serialism in his works but he stopped. An interest for Gregorian chant & medieval music then brought a new dimension to his music. Mystic, restful & emotional might be some adjectives to describe his compositions. He is one of the most important composers of 'mystical minimalist movement' with John Tavener & Henryk Górecki. exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />xxxxxx<br /><br /> Arvo Pärt is one of the most important living composers of concert music. His first works, dating from the 1950s, showed the influence of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as heard in his two Sonatinas for piano (1958). But as his musical studies under Heino Eller continued, he was drawn toward serial techniques and turned out a number of works in the 1960s in this vein. His First Symphony (1961), for instance, displays this method and is dedicated to Eller. By the end of that decade, Pärt had become disenchanted by the 12-tone technique and began writing music in varying styles. In 1976, however, Pärt started composing in what he called his tintinnabulation (or tintinnabuli) method, which involves the prominent use of pure triads. This new style resulted in music so radically different from that which had preceded it, that many observed that it seemed to have come from a different hand altogether.<br /><br />Unlike most composers of major rank, Pärt did not show remarkable talent in his childhood or even in his early adolescence. His first serious study came in 1954 at the Tallinn Music Middle School, but less than a year later he temporarily abandoned it to fulfill military service, playing oboe and percussion in the army band. <br /><br />In 1957, Pärt enrolled at the Tallinn Conservatory where he studied under Eller. He graduated in 1963, having worked throughout his student years and afterward as a recording engineer for Estonian Radio. He wrote several film scores and other works during this period, among them his two Sonatinas for piano, from 1958, and Nekrolog, a serial work for orchestra, from 1960. He also wrote a number of choral pieces at this time, among which was the ethereal a cappella effort, Solfeggio (1964). Pärt continued to compose music mainly in the serial vein throughout the 1960s, but received little recognition, since that method of composition was generally anathema throughout the Soviet Union. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Pärt studied the music of Renaissance era composers, particularly that of Machaut, Josquin Desprez, and Obrecht. His Symphony No. 3 reflected these influences in its austere, Medieval sound world.<br /><br />By the mid-1970s, Pärt was working on an altogether new style of composition. In 1976 he unveiled this method, the aforementioned tintinnabulation, with the piano work, Für Alina. A trio of more popular works followed in 1977, Fratres, for string quintet and wind quintet (later given additional arrangements by the composer), Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (revised 1980) and Tabula Rasa, for two violins, prepared piano, and string orchestra. Owing to the continued political oppression he found in Estonia, Pärt and his wife and two sons emigrated to the West in 1980, settling first in Vienna, then in West Berlin.In the 1980s and 1990s, Pärt, a devout member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, wrote a number of large-scale choral religious works, including the St. John Passion (1982), Magnificat (1989), The Beatitudes (1990), and Litany (1994). He has declared a preference for vocal music in his later years, and continues, like the English composer John Tavener, also an adherent of the Eastern Orthodox religion, to write much religious music.<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The music of Arvo Part is one of the great consolations of our age. Often described as out of step with the times, his choral compositions display continuity with the great liturgical music of the 16th Century and earlier. Richly-textured, driven by what seems to be an unshakeable faith and commitment, his church music is certainly composed from an ethical standpoint which few these days can share. Yet he is unmistakably of our time, and that is what makes him so wonderful. From the first notes of this wonderful Mass, we are aware that Part is a contemporary, a sufferer, the great soul we never expected to meet.<br /><br />None of Part's religious music is more beautiful than the Missa Syllabica, and no listener need fear not finding it ravishingly enjoyable. While still a student, one of his teachers said of him that it was as if he had merely to shake his sleeve and notes fell out, and that richly inventive power remains. The increasingly chaotic music of his early career seems to have reflected his inability to deal with ever-receding boundaries, his own overflowing talents, and the sheer number of musical ideas that occurred to him. Though in the second part of his career he seems to have deliberately imposed restrictions on his musical materials, challenging himself to compose with a starkly reduced palette, and in rigorously disciplined formats, he has achieved wonderful things - and this music is among them.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3xeDbEAL17aMN2kkAiPdxAW1d3MWGNxx67aLm2H1T-5rC-heG1u-1kxvZCsj7UepAz2JdRwJaiGMQ0dgtevBa9tAd07xeC_uUk4kVFadljCi7vxGpt0roO_aHb8FHGcUYQ/s794/Arvo+Part+-+Beatus+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="794" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN3xeDbEAL17aMN2kkAiPdxAW1d3MWGNxx67aLm2H1T-5rC-heG1u-1kxvZCsj7UepAz2JdRwJaiGMQ0dgtevBa9tAd07xeC_uUk4kVFadljCi7vxGpt0roO_aHb8FHGcUYQ/w400-h359/Arvo+Part+-+Beatus+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/WymT9"> Arvo Pärt - Beatus .</a> (219 mb)<br /><br />01 Statuit Ei Dominus 5:05<br />Missa Syllabica <br />02 I Kyrie 2:40<br />03 II Gloria 2:21<br />04 III Credo 6:42<br />05 IV Sanctus 1:26<br />06 V Agnus Dei 2:22<br />07 VI Ite, Missa Est 0:36<br />08 Beatus Petronius 5:04<br /> Magnificat-Antiphonen <br />09 I O Weisheit 1:48<br />10 II O Adonai 2:37<br />11 III O Sproß Aus Isais Wurzel 1:10<br />12 IV O Schlüssel Davids 1:54<br />13 V O Morgenstern 1:42<br />14 VI O König Aller Völker 2:07<br />15 VII O Immanuel 2:12<br />16 De Profundis 5:35<br />17 Memento 8:48<br />18 Cantate Domino 2:44<br />19 Solfeggio 4:07<br /><br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />There's a line in this disc's title track, from an Orthodox ode addressed to Saint Nicholas: "therewithal hast thou acquired: by humility - greatness, by poverty - riches." This might have been written about Arvo Pärt's compositional technique, here liberated from the minimalist strictures of earlier decades, treading a fine line between agony and ecstasy in a way unparalleled since Bach.<br /><br />In his earlier vein, Pärt often reached spiritual feast through the technical famine of systematic patterning and repetition. In the music on this new cd, all composed between 1996 and 2002 and featuring six première recordings, Pärt instead suggests austerity through the use of a much broader and freer palette. This is particularly palpable in the Nunc Dimittis, where gorgeous textures, harmonies and sonorities conjure a feeling of purity and emptiness.<br /><br />Elsewhere, Pärt has a couple of surprises up his sleeve. The opening track, Dopo la vittoria, begins in sprightly madrigalian form, entirely appropriate to a commission from the City of Milan. It sets an Italian text describing the conception of the Te Deum by Saints Ambrose and Augustine, an unusually postmodern exercise for Pärt, but one which does nothing to detract from the sincerity of the setting, suggesting instead a celebration of the sanctifying power of centuries of worshipful use.<br /><br />The weirdest moment on the disc comes with My heart's in the Highlands, a setting of a Burns poem which apparently has a highly personal significance for the composer. It's one of only two tracks on the disc which recall Pärt's earlier, more systematic approach, giving Burns' wistful evocation of the bucolic North to a monotone counter-tenor over a strictly controlled organ accompaniment, and making the text suddenly sound like a mystical allegory of longing for the divine.<br /><br />There's little of the balletic brilliance that Pärt displayed in such works as the Stabat Mater or Tabula Rasa, and mercifully as little of the thunderous severity of his Passio mode. Instead there's a quiet and cumulative power to these works, given performances of luminous purity by Polyphony and Stephen Layton. By the time we arrive at the Salve Regina, a kind of penitential cradle song which closes the disc, we're ready to fall at the feet of the Maker and beg for forgiveness, simultaneously harrowed and consoled.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qOUPPwjTE5VU9LUcVkRzqKfK0sXvFIBprjJ1k5Bkxv34U4mvwpAQKFsz0FENHdseevVEm1yFQY9Ss_G3W_CpZ_cn7AhDcRNRqjcrC5AZqgSVtju9qP8q5bf2Tt1VRHR5hQ/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Triodion+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qOUPPwjTE5VU9LUcVkRzqKfK0sXvFIBprjJ1k5Bkxv34U4mvwpAQKFsz0FENHdseevVEm1yFQY9Ss_G3W_CpZ_cn7AhDcRNRqjcrC5AZqgSVtju9qP8q5bf2Tt1VRHR5hQ/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Triodion+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/1NMIOX7R"> Arvo Pärt - Triodion </a> ( flac 158mb)<br /><br />01 Dopo La Vittoria 10:00<br />02 Nunc Dimittis 7:33<br />03 ..

Culled largely from Arvo Pärt’s experimental period of the sixties, this collection features astounding forays into serialism and aleatory techniques. Who else would begin his Symphony No 2 (1966) with the sounds of children’s squeak toys? Then the bad boy of the Estonian avant-garde, Pärt uses other “shocking” effects like clusters increasing in dynamics and chaos then dissolve, and calm sonorous moments assaulted with abrupt dissonance. This is not the composer most of us know, now a pious and placid figure whose work is more closely connected to the 16th century than the 20th. Pro and Contra (1966) is the most exciting piece on the disc. Its furious energy reminds me of the opening of Shostakovich’s 1959 Cello Concerto No. 1 (a piece that first-rate cellist Truls Mørk also plays). The third movement will both amuse and leave you breathless. Most uncanny is the inclusion of a socialist realist choral work from Pärt’s student days: Meie aed (Our Garden, 1959). An innocent-sounding girls choir sings of the joys of cultivating its school garden, a naïve metaphor for socialist society. Like Prokofiev’s terrified On Guard for Peace (1950) or Shostakovich’s four-square Song of the Forests (1949), it is completely tonal without a trace of irony. It provides a kick-in-the-pants contrast to the naughty works included with it. Järvi, who has recorded several Pärt discs for Virgin Classics, is stupendous.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi424f4pnC2GgcDuLeP1sKfYEpju1pQT8pXtNq0Sj9fGbzwNt0Ox9UoWPBw88sxXWS5V12BKXJvLsk_tWNUhQNzMvZdSHZiBolXPrmVymcQ84y_7kSNcW1egvtsNPNDAy3KIQ/s712/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Pro+%2526+Contra+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi424f4pnC2GgcDuLeP1sKfYEpju1pQT8pXtNq0Sj9fGbzwNt0Ox9UoWPBw88sxXWS5V12BKXJvLsk_tWNUhQNzMvZdSHZiBolXPrmVymcQ84y_7kSNcW1egvtsNPNDAy3KIQ/w400-h400/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Pro+%2526+Contra+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/cf3de0f89a9a21df14b683cd59f27ad0"> Arvo Pärt - Pro & Contra </a> ( flac 330mb)<br /><br />Pro Et Contra (9:18)<br />01 I Maestoso 5:29<br />02 II Largo 0:31<br />03 III Allegro 3:18<br />Symphony No. 1 (19:56)<br />04 I Kaanonid 12:17<br />05 II Prelüüd Ja Fuuga 7:39<br />Collage Über B A C H (7:30)<br />06 I Toccata: Preciso 2:49<br />07 II Sarabande: Lento 3:06<br />08 III Ricercare: Deciso 1:35<br />09 Perpetuum Mobile 6:56<br />Meie Aed (11:10)<br />10 I Allegro 2:34<br />11 II Andantino Cantabile 4:08<br />12 III Allegro 1:44<br />13 IV Moderato - Allegro 2:41<br />Symphony No. 2(15:08)<br />14 I ♩ = 104-120 5:32<br />15 II 𝅗𝅥 = 112 3:18<br />16 III ♩ = 48-60 6:16<br />.<br /> <br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Composed for piano and orchestra, Lamentate (also LamenTate) was commissioned by London’s Tate Modern and was inspired by Marsyas, the giant sculpture by Anish Kapoor (b. 1954), the British sculptor and multimedia artist of Indian origin. Hence the subtitle of the work, Homage to Anish Kapoor and his sculpture Marsyas.<br /><br />Kapoor’s installation was intended to work as an interaction between visual-spatial and acoustic qualities. In composing the piece, Pärt also considered the specific acoustics of the space where Kapoor’s sculpture was displayed – the turbine hall of an old power house. This is also where Lamentate was premiered on 7 February 2003, performed by pianist Hélène Grimaud, and the London Sinfonietta conducted by Alexander Briger. Pärt made amendments to the piece after the premiere and the revised version of Lamentate premiered on 10 November 2003 at the Sejny Festival in Poland, performed by Marrit Gerretz-Traksmann and the Bialystok Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Tõnu Kaljuste.<br /><br />In Greek mythology, the satyr Marsyas was flayed alive by Apollo, the god of light, truth and fine arts, for daring to challenge him to a contest of music. Anish Kapoor’s take on the legend of Marsyas was the 150-metre-long, 35-metre-high bright red sculpture reminiscent of a flayed human body. Marsyas consisted of three steel rings joined together by a single span of plastic cover material, forming a trumpet-like shape.<br /><br />Arvo Pärt: “My first impression was that I, as a living being, was standing before my own body and was dead – as in a time-warp perspective, at once in the future and the present. /.../ Death and suffering are the themes that concern every person born into this world. The way in which the individual comes to terms with these issues (or fails to do so) determines his attitude towards life – whether consciously or unconsciously. With its great size, Anish Kapoor’s sculpture shatters not only the concepts of space, but also – in my view – concepts of time. The boundary between time and timelessness no longer seems so evident. /…/ Accordingly, I have written a lamento – not for the dead, but for the living, who have to deal with these issues for themselves. /…/ A lamento for us, struggling with the pain and hopelessness of this world.<br /><br />Lamentate is music for piano solo and orchestra. With respect to its form, however, the composition cannot really be described as a typical piano concerto. I chose the piano to be the solo instrument because it fixes our attention on something that is “one”. This “one” could be a person, or perhaps a first-person narrative. Just as the sculpture, despite its overwhelming size, leaves the viewer with a light and floating impression, the piano, largest of the instruments, allowed me to create a sphere of intimacy and warmth that no longer seems anonymous or abstract. We could say that my composition is shaped by two polar forces: brutal robustness and intimate fragility. These characters are not statically opposed to each other, but go through a development throughout the composition."<br /><br />There are two sacred texts hidden in the music here. The dramatic culmination of the first musical passage is unravelled by the Dies irae sequence from the Mass of the Dead: Day of wrath and doom impending … However, a troparion in the Orthodox Prayer Book, reflecting upon death, brings the dimension of eternal peace to the music. It translates into English as follows: “With eyes of compassion, O Lord, look upon my low estate. For my life is gradually passing away, and there is no salvation for me from the works I have done. Wherefore I pray: With eyes of compassion, O Lord, look upon my low estate, and save me.” The text is carefully inscribed into the music that follows the number of syllables, punctuation marks and other parameters of the text.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDt0aFkoUoVehu8FZQb7wVpZx0vQXH1KdEFjblwiPB1XSFxooC0RH_1ZXyipXM07uidps_JyBGEs2shhzCevh2WDNrTV5I5Cpn0vu_39fsAdKy7i24MRu-KE8aftaf0nxLhQ/s806/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Lamentate+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="806" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDt0aFkoUoVehu8FZQb7wVpZx0vQXH1KdEFjblwiPB1XSFxooC0RH_1ZXyipXM07uidps_JyBGEs2shhzCevh2WDNrTV5I5Cpn0vu_39fsAdKy7i24MRu-KE8aftaf0nxLhQ/w400-h354/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Lamentate+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/t3zg8vqta"> Arvo Pärt - Lamentate </a> ( flac 138mb)<br /><br />01 Da Pacem Domine 5:40<br />Lamentate (37:04)<br />02 Minacciando 2:38<br />03 Spietato 3:33<br />04 Fragile 1:04<br />05 Pregando 5:59<br />06 Solitudine – Stato D'Animo 5:25<br />07 Consolante 1:21<br />08 Stridendo 1:31<br />09 Lamentabile 5:46<br />10 Risolutamente 2:45<br />11 Fragile E Conciliante 6:56<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-82247589674716666712021-06-12T00:30:00.001+02:002021-06-12T00:30:51.276+02:00RhoDeo 2123 Grooves<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artist translated a seamless blend of jazz-rap, R&B, and reggae into huge success during the mid-'90s, when the New Jersey-area trio's seminal sophomore album The Score hit number one on the pop charts and sold over five million copies before winning a pair of Grammy Awards in 1997.

Michel's cousin Wyclef Jean joined the group, dubbed the Tranzlator Crew, and they signed to Ruffhouse/Columbia in 1993. After renaming themselves the Fugees (a term of derision, short for refugees, which was usually used to describe Haitian immigrants), they entered the studio to record their first official full-length, Blunted on Reality. Issued in early 1994, the album showcased a beat-driven, hip-hop crew vibe, with Hill, Jean, and Michel trading verses in a fashion similar to A Tribe Called Quest, Poor Righteous Teachers, and Digable Planets. While an underground favorite, the album didn't make much of a dent on the charts and they veered in a different, but ultimately more successful, direction on their follow-up.<br /><br />The Score arrived in 1996 and was an instant hit. Retaining some of their earlier jazz-rap spirit, while incorporating traditional R&B that showcased Hill's singing abilities, the album topped charts across the globe and was certified multi-platinum around Europe and in the U.S. Featuring the soulful, chart-topping single "Killing Me Softly" and a top 40 cover of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry," The Score made significant dents in the commercial mainstream while retaining their existing fan base, becoming one of the surprise hits of 1996. At the 1997 Grammy Awards, the Fugees won Best Rap Album and Best R&B Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group for "Killing Me Softly."<br /><br /><br />Following the success of The Score, the Fugees took a break, pursuing solo endeavors that eventually made the hiatus permanent. Jean issued his first solo album, 1997's The Carnival Featuring the Refugee Allstars, while Michel joined Mya and Ol' Dirty Bastard for the hit single "Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are)." In 1998, Hill released her chart-topping, neo-soul opus The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which went on to outsell The Score and win five Grammy Awards in 1999. While Hill bowed out while on top of her game, Pras continued rapping and also pursued acting and film production. Meanwhile, Jean continued to release solo material -- issuing over a dozen albums -- and produced for artists, working with the likes of Destiny's Child, Santana, Shakira, Young Thug, and many more.<br /><br />Almost a decade after peaking with The Score, they reconvened in 2005, performing together on a European tour and releasing the single "Take It Easy." However, the reunion was brief, and the trio disbanded once again. While their overall time together was short, The Score endures as one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time and each Fugee remained active -- both musically and politically -- for decades to come. . ..

Jean issued his first solo album, 1997's The Carnival Featuring the Refugee Allstars, while Michel joined Mya and Ol' Dirty Bastard for the hit single "Ghetto Superstar (That Is What You Are)." In 1998, Hill released her chart-topping, neo-soul opus The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which went on to outsell The Score and win five Grammy Awards in 1999. While Hill bowed out while on top of her game, Pras continued rapping and also pursued acting and film production. Meanwhile, Jean continued to release solo material -- issuing over a dozen albums -- and produced for artists, working with the likes of Destiny's Child, Santana, Shakira, Young Thug, and many more.<br /><br />Almost a decade after peaking with The Score, they reconvened in 2005, performing together on a European tour and releasing the single "Take It Easy." However, the reunion was brief, and the trio disbanded once again. While their overall time together was short, The Score endures as one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time and each Fugee remained active -- both musically and politically -- for decades to come. <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Debut album by Fugees, hip-hop group from East Orange, New Jersey, formed by Samuel "Pras" Michel of New York, Wyclef Jean of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, but raised between East Orange and Newark, and Lauryn Hill of South Orange, New Jersey. Pras and Hill meet at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, and are later joined by Jean, shortly before Marcy Harriell left them. The group changed its name several times, when it reached an agreement with Ruffhouse Records, a label distributed by Columbia, it changed definitively from Tranzlator Crew (kept on the cover) to The Fugees, short for "refugees" and a derogatory term addressed to Haitian immigrants. The record has features typical of the '92 hip-hop season, having been recorded around that time, however, it wasn't officially released until early 1994 due to issues with the label. Rapping is provided by all three performers, while production is mainly done by Pras and Wyclef Jean, together with Khalis Bayyan, already known for his work with Kool & the Gang, Rashad Muhammad, Brand X, Stephen Walker, Jerry Duplessis and Salaam Remi. The rhythms are combined with live instrumentation performed mainly by Wyclef Jean on guitar and bass, and by Khalis Bayyan on sax and keyboards.<br /><br />After the intro, Wyclef Jean quickly makes it clear that he'll be going hardcore on this record, delivering on a cheerful boom bap with decent jazzy samples and regular drum pounding. Pras is quite mediocre and meager right from this first track, while Lauryn Hill is easily better than the other two combined, spitting bars with a tight, flowing, flawless, dope flow. Track number three's actually a double track that features an opening short interlude, a one and a half-minute skit, and then a five-minute cut, with a verse each performed by the three MCs. Boom bap with accessible light pounding slow drum and tight horn sample in the background: Wyclef delivers hardcore, smooth, great flow, follows Lauryn Hill killing the song with a smooth, tight, dope style. An extravagant and irregular rapping by Pras closes. Fourth choice is dominated by Jean: jazzy boom bap, dirty and tight heavy thumping skinny drum machine, Lauryn Hill is better than the other two again, with great crisp flowing and quick rapping, Wyclef Jean delivers syncopated and quick. .<br /><br />The album mirrors the East Coast sound and mixes it with ragga: the producers come up with honest rhythms, at best good, never excellent, composed of a dynamic drum and jazzy, funky, soul and pop samples. Thematically, the album varies between politics, racism, violence, life in the ghetto, braggadocio, crime, violence and represent, without a precise direction and with several socio-conscious extracts. At rapping, Lauryn Hill stands out above all and obscures the other performers in every track, boasting a dope flow<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyZVxih6-kq1lPztjwgyxlKPA1GDfy3auBdXrp_hrqWxH_whmgiwiU1eLJSisbykF2NE3KHvM90o1SXaKtfYB4BrpggHmK0edWl8YxQkXxHN_3nIqT1LhfQ-j1N-7KbM-uQ/s712/Fugees+-+Blunted+on+Reality+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjyZVxih6-kq1lPztjwgyxlKPA1GDfy3auBdXrp_hrqWxH_whmgiwiU1eLJSisbykF2NE3KHvM90o1SXaKtfYB4BrpggHmK0edWl8YxQkXxHN_3nIqT1LhfQ-j1N-7KbM-uQ/w400-h400/Fugees+-+Blunted+on+Reality+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://mir.cr/XQKIK6EY"> Fugees - Blunted on Reality </a> (flac 431b)<br /><br />01 Introduction 1:1<br />02 Nappy Heads 4:29<br />03 Blunted Interlude 6:49<br />04 Recharge 5:10<br />05 Freestyle Interlude 1:08<br />06 Vocab 5:02<br />07 Special News Bulletin Interlude 0:20<br />08 Boof Baf 5:09<br />09 Temple 4:03<br />10 How Hard Is It? 3:52<br />11 Harlem Chit Chat Interlude 0:49<br />12 Some Seek Stardom 3:42<br />13 Giggles 4:21<br />14 Da Kid From Haiti Interlude 0:59<br />15 Refugees on the Mic 4:57<br />16 Living Like There Ain't No Tomorrow 4:00<br />17 Shout Outs From the Block 9:17<br />18 Nappy Heads (Remix) 5:22 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />A breath of fresh air in the gangsta-dominated mid-'90s, the Fugees' breakthrough album, The Score, marked the beginning of a resurgence in alternative hip-hop. Its left-field, multi-platinum success proved there was a substantial untapped audience with an appreciation for rap music but little interest in thug life. The Score's eclecticism, social consciousness, and pop smarts drew millions of latent hip-hop listeners back into the fold, showing just how much the music had grown up. It not only catapulted the Fugees into stardom, but also launched the productive solo careers of Wyclef Jean and Lauryn Hill, the latter of whom already ranks as one of the top female MCs of all time based on her work here. Not just a collection of individual talents, the Fugees' three MCs all share a crackling chemistry and a wide-ranging taste in music. Their strong fondness for smooth soul and reggae is underscored by the two hit covers given slight hip-hop makeovers (Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song" and Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry"). Even when they're not relying on easily recognizable tunes, their original material is powered by a raft of indelible hooks, especially the great "Fu-Gee-La"; there are also touches of blues and gospel, and the recognizable samples range from doo wop to Enya. Their protest tracks are often biting, yet tempered with pathos and humanity, whether they're attacking racial profiling among police ("The Beast"), the insecurity behind violent posturing ("Cowboys"), or the inability of many black people in the Western Hemisphere to trace their familial roots ("Family Business"). Yeah, the Chinese restaurant skit is a little dicey, but on the whole, The Score balances intelligence and accessibility with an easy assurance, and ranks as one of the most distinctive hip-hop albums of its era.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvrzvibYY4JNOLZ2uhmEqagy0CXJJtH9wS329indcoaOQ7JUhi8Mx6ca7xVUG7j-zjSO1bwKAXj90jGUo0_ZIbGd9DFGAyrXBBu_b0k144zpf9mTFSZqL1pTp9cPGnYxFaKw/s719/Fugees+%2526+Lauryn+Hill+-+The+Score+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="719" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvrzvibYY4JNOLZ2uhmEqagy0CXJJtH9wS329indcoaOQ7JUhi8Mx6ca7xVUG7j-zjSO1bwKAXj90jGUo0_ZIbGd9DFGAyrXBBu_b0k144zpf9mTFSZqL1pTp9cPGnYxFaKw/w400-h396/Fugees+%2526+Lauryn+Hill+-+The+Score+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/1ac480d12aa227a2ca77854c83075f00"> Fugees - The Score </a> (flac 426mb)<br /><br />01 Red Intro 1:51<br />02 How Many Mics 4:28<br />03 Ready or Not 3:47<br />04 Zealots 4:20<br />05 The Beast 5:37<br />06 Fu-Gee-La 4:20<br />07 Family Business 5:43<br />08 Killing Me Softly 4:58<br />09 The Score 5:02<br />10 The Mask 4:50<br />11 Cowboys 5:23<br />12 No Woman, No Cry 4:33<br />13 Manifest / Outro 5:59<br />14 Fu-Gee-La (Refugee Camp Remix) 4:23<br />15 Fu-Gee-La (Sly & Robbie Mix) 5:27<br />16 Mista Mista 2:42 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Bootleg Versions is the remix album released by R&B and reggae fusion group The Fugees. The album was released on November 26, 1996. The album features only eight tracks, including seven remixes, and one new recording. The Fugees was an American hip hop group who rose to fame in the early-1990s. Their repertoire included elements of hip hop, soul and Caribbean music, particularly reggae. The members of the group were rapper/singer/producer Wyclef Jean, rapper/singer/producer Lauryn Hill, and rapper/producer Pras Michel. Deriving their name from the term refugee, Jean and Michel are Haitian, while Hill is American. In 2007, MTV ranked them the ninth greatest hip hop group of all time. It's fun and it's funky... especially the vocally agressive "Vocab" remixes. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBBA8g8mISEKtvuRFGdiSbTQYaP8Ltl993eG8NZq4XsI44hItjS5O3YAAe4AOQ_zpELkvbgjkE27TAD7i9qE_5dXYuseFLKu0xaFiWfPcmX8SdypLCq-iI0JFR7c4TEEf5A/s712/Fugees+-+Bootleg+Versions+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRBBA8g8mISEKtvuRFGdiSbTQYaP8Ltl993eG8NZq4XsI44hItjS5O3YAAe4AOQ_zpELkvbgjkE27TAD7i9qE_5dXYuseFLKu0xaFiWfPcmX8SdypLCq-iI0JFR7c4TEEf5A/w400-h400/Fugees+-+Bootleg+Versions+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/d1pndc0yt"> Fugees - Bootleg Versions</a> (flac 223mb)<br /><br />01 Ready or Not (Clark Kent / Django Remix) 5:17<br />02 Nappy Heads (Mad Spider Mix) 4:27<br />03 Don't Cry Dry Your Eyes 4:14<br />04 Vocab (Salaam's Remix) 7:00<br />05 Ready or Not (Salaam's Ready for the Show Remix) 4:41<br />06 Killing Me Softly With His Song (Live at the Brixton Academy) 2:41<br />07 No Woman, No Cry (Remix With Steve Marley) 5:27<br />08 Vocab (Refugees Hip Hop Remix) 4:37 <br /><br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Wyclef crafted an eclectic album here, and the other Fugees members make appearances as well. The production is rather unique, as Wyclef experiments with a wide variety of styles, both old and modern. There's even rapping and singing in Creole. I could've done without all the pointless interludes, which added nothing to the proceedings, but they're a small blemish on an otherwise solid effort.

After such storms it appeared to darken in spots with what was thought to be vegetation. But when the Mariner 4, 6, and 7 flybys of the late 60s and the Mariner 9 orbiter in 1971 and Viking I and II landings in 1976 showed a barren, lifeless terrain, with no evidence of even the lowliest forms of vegetation, the “greening” of Mars was thought to result from the inorganic oxidation and reduction of ferruginous soils on the planet’s surface. This brief essay proposes a speculative mechanism for such a transformation.<br /><br />Periodically the inclement winds on Mars are estimated to gale in excess of 200 miles per hour (>300 kph), sending dust particles high into the thin atmosphere. This atmosphere, consisting mainly of carbon dioxide with traces of water vapor, is less than one percent the air pressure we enjoy on planet Earth.<br /><br />Thus, airlifted and suspended dust particles themselves are mainly microscopic, taking days or weeks to settle. But the extreme velocity of the surface winds also blows larger particles about to collect in drifts and to scour the landscape. And, over periods measured in eons, many features have been eroded and smoothed to show a wasteland marked by a grand canyon (Valles Marineris), scattered craters, an enormous extinct volcano (Olympus Mons) among several others, and numerous other gross outcroppings, but the planet’s surface is largely devoid of finer detail. However, a few craters do show little evidence of erosion and may be relatively recent events in Martian geological history.<br /><br />Mars rotates diurnally in approximately 24 hours and 40 minutes, and its axis is tilted at an angle of some 25°, not dissimilar in either respect to Earth. It revolves in its orbit about the Sun in 1.88 Earth years, and consequently it has much longer seasons. But every spring in the northern hemisphere, there is a partial melting or sublimation of the polar ice cap, preceded by keening windstorms, which in turn is followed by a gradual darkening of the Martian landscape extending down toward the equator. It was this darkening—this “greening”—which gave credence to the idea that vegetation likely existed on Mars.<br /><br />The illustration of the microcosmic Martian landscape in the quart bottle looks for all the world like a Ludek Pesek painting in miniature, replete with ruddy arroyos, canyons, and peaks, but with a darker greenish detritus in simulated moraines. The particles which make up this scene are actually the Buell dust product of a high temperature rotary kiln. They comprise agglomerated microspheres of fused magnesium oxide (periclase) of fairly uniform size (20-40 μm), with patina-like coatings of red (oxidized) and green (reduced) iron oxides, as determined by the McCrone Research Institute of Chicago. Under microscopic examination, the colors appear more reddish-orange and yellowish-green in hue.<br /><br />One of the more interesting features of the mixture of these microspheres is that the red ones are magnetically permeable while the green are not, being easily separated by a teflon-coated stirring magnet despite the tenuous coating of the iron moiety. It was this peculiar property that was first noted in the mid-1960s and which drew my attention to the phenomenon associated with the then-known weather patterns on Mars. Namely, if the cohesiveness of the reddish particles, inherent in their magnetic permeability, were in any respect related to the occurrences on Mars, then such Martian particulates themselves would exhibit similar permeability as well as weak magnetism. In fact, in 1976 the Viking landers found as much as 4% magnetic permeability of the Martian soil, which was considerably higher than expected.<br /><br />Other than iron itself, we know that magnetite (Fe3O4), maghemite (Fe2O3), and pyrrhotite (Fe5S6 to Fe16S17) are magnetically permeable, although their colors tend to range from yellowish brown to black. However, the surface of Mars from the viewpoint of both the Viking and 1997 Surveyor probes has been a rather uniform ruddy color. And yet, the airborne magnetically permeable particulates were found to have a darker albedo (reflectance) than the soil samples, which may merely indicate that the airborne particles did not have the ruddy overlay which heavily coated the soil samples.<br /><br />The postulated microspherules on Mars are conjectured to come in two varieties, an oxidized orange-red ferric iron and a reduced yellow-green ferrous iron assortment. The ferric iron spherules would be magnetically permeable while the ferrous would not. The significance of the two kinds of spherules is that the magnetic cohesiveness of the permeable ferric glasslike particles would impart the characteristic red color to the surface of Mars, as well as contributing to its comparative stickiness, while the greenish ferrites would give the deceptive impression of vegetation growing in select regions of the planet following the violent windstorms of a Martian winter, as well as contributing to the appearance of moraine-like flows in various arroyos.<br /><br />These windstorms occur approximately every two of our own years, and although the blustering gales are extremely tenuous they race around the planet in excess of 200 mph and raise voluminous dust clouds which obscure the surface (an early Soviet space probe landed during one of these storms and ceased operating within two hours). When these winds ultimately subside, there is a notable “greening,” or at least a darkening of the planet—a phenomenon which was first attributed something over a century ago to the growth of vegetation. Thus, the false foliage might be more of a physical event than a chemical one, much less a biotic episode. However, for purposes of this speculation, oxidation-reduction processes effected by solar radiation and the Martian atmosphere are expected to contribute significantly to the anomalous color changes.<br /><br />An early in situ experiment to discover biota in Martian samples found an anomalous oxidation process that was attributed to peroxides in or on the soil. It still isn’t clear to this author whether this was due to vagaries of the analyzing instrument, an isolated non-reproducible incident, or solar-induced oxide enhancement of the Martian soil. It is, of course, well-known that ultraviolet radiation can dissociate otherwise well-behaved molecules into higher energy states to form such peroxide molecules.<br /><br />I opt in favor of this for at least two reasons: Peroxide reactions, especially in the presence of activating ultraviolet light, would favor the conversion of hematite or the hydrated limonite into magnetite. Secondly, magnetite might be reduced in the presence of peroxide to maghemite, which itself can exist in a magnetic or nonmagnetic (hematite) state. This is because, as is well-known to almost every bench analyst who’s dirtied his or her hands as a wet-chemist, under certain conditions peroxides can act as either oxidizing or reducing agents. The exotic conditions on Mars certainly qualify for an unusual laboratory environment on a planetary scale.<br /><br />Such peroxides on Mars would most probably come from the dissociation of the CO2 or sparse water vapor in the atmosphere. Moreover, the disturbance of the windstorms, abetted by the otherwise anomalous peroxide reduction of hematite to the ferrous state (FeO), perhaps might also—if accompanied by water from the poles—convert mineral iron compounds to the nonmagnetic greenish ferrous hydroxide or even to the darker ferric hydroxide, geothite.<br /><br />The origin of these hypothetical microspheres would most likely be in some ancient disaster that wracked the planet, where an asteroidal impact or volcanic event, or both, brecciated the surface and boiled off both atmosphere and ocean, leaving a glassy vestige of microscopic tektites on the ground and very little residual airmass.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />The speculation that Mars is covered by microspherules of glassy particles stems from observations of earthbound samples that have experienced extraordinary thermal conditions. Based on the geohistory of Mars as it is currently surmised, it is anticipated that such microspheres may be primarily composed of refractory minerals other than iron, in either amorphous or crystalline forms, and imbued with a patina of mineralized iron compounds to impart their characteristic coloration to the sands of Mars.<br /><br />Frederic Jueneman<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />In recent months, according to a number of scientific reports, the dusty winds and sand dune formations on the planet Mars have grown even more mysteries.

A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nomi</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />nated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Babylon's Ashes is a science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the sixth book in their The Expanse series. The title of the novel was announced in early July 2015[1] and the cover and brief synopsis were revealed on September 14, 2015<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />Following the events of Nemesis Games, the so-called Free Navy, made up of Belters using stolen military ships, has been growing ever bolder. After the crippling attacks on Earth and the Martian Navy, the Free Navy turns its attention to the colony ships headed for the ring gates and the worlds beyond. The relatively defenseless ships are left to fend for themselves, as neither Earth nor Mars are powerful enough to protect them. James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are called upon once again by what remains of the UN and Martian governments to go to Medina Station, now in the hands of the Free Navy, in the ring station. On the other side of the rings an alien threat is growing; the Free Navy may be the least of humanity's problems. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcutVoc3HnJn9m4y2lGk7BMW99l_PLcoPjJh71FXkd8l4-K4GbT3XhGblTMm_dZeklQxLPvt0NXMiXmaXAoKinDD2KgLGU6NBbCR9KW2K39c_OoVfnVK4UFVYT2GLi5WT9A/s712/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcutVoc3HnJn9m4y2lGk7BMW99l_PLcoPjJh71FXkd8l4-K4GbT3XhGblTMm_dZeklQxLPvt0NXMiXmaXAoKinDD2KgLGU6NBbCR9KW2K39c_OoVfnVK4UFVYT2GLi5WT9A/w400-h400/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/69b828aa78593eebccfe9a96d65537a5">James S.A.

He is strongly influenced by the minimalist movement & Gregorian chant.<br />In 1958, he entered at the Tallinn Conservatoire & he became famous through USSR with his composition 'Our Garden'. At the beginning of the seventies, he began to use serialism in his works but he stopped. An interest for Gregorian chant & medieval music then brought a new dimension to his music. Mystic, restful & emotional might be some adjectives to describe his compositions. He is one of the most important composers of 'mystical minimalist movement' with John Tavener & Henryk Górecki. exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />xxxxxx<br /><br /> Arvo Pärt is one of the most important living composers of concert music. His first works, dating from the 1950s, showed the influence of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as heard in his two Sonatinas for piano (1958). But as his musical studies under Heino Eller continued, he was drawn toward serial techniques and turned out a number of works in the 1960s in this vein. His First Symphony (1961), for instance, displays this method and is dedicated to Eller. By the end of that decade, Pärt had become disenchanted by the 12-tone technique and began writing music in varying styles. In 1976, however, Pärt started composing in what he called his tintinnabulation (or tintinnabuli) method, which involves the prominent use of pure triads. This new style resulted in music so radically different from that which had preceded it, that many observed that it seemed to have come from a different hand altogether.<br /><br />Unlike most composers of major rank, Pärt did not show remarkable talent in his childhood or even in his early adolescence. His first serious study came in 1954 at the Tallinn Music Middle School, but less than a year later he temporarily abandoned it to fulfill military service, playing oboe and percussion in the army band. <br /><br />In 1957, Pärt enrolled at the Tallinn Conservatory where he studied under Eller. He graduated in 1963, having worked throughout his student years and afterward as a recording engineer for Estonian Radio. He wrote several film scores and other works during this period, among them his two Sonatinas for piano, from 1958, and Nekrolog, a serial work for orchestra, from 1960. He also wrote a number of choral pieces at this time, among which was the ethereal a cappella effort, Solfeggio (1964). Pärt continued to compose music mainly in the serial vein throughout the 1960s, but received little recognition, since that method of composition was generally anathema throughout the Soviet Union. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Pärt studied the music of Renaissance era composers, particularly that of Machaut, Josquin Desprez, and Obrecht. His Symphony No. 3 reflected these influences in its austere, Medieval sound world.<br /><br />By the mid-1970s, Pärt was working on an altogether new style of composition. In 1976 he unveiled this method, the aforementioned tintinnabulation, with the piano work, Für Alina. A trio of more popular works followed in 1977, Fratres, for string quintet and wind quintet (later given additional arrangements by the composer), Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (revised 1980) and Tabula Rasa, for two violins, prepared piano, and string orchestra. Owing to the continued political oppression he found in Estonia, Pärt and his wife and two sons emigrated to the West in 1980, settling first in Vienna, then in West Berlin.In the 1980s and 1990s, Pärt, a devout member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, wrote a number of large-scale choral religious works, including the St. John Passion (1982), Magnificat (1989), The Beatitudes (1990), and Litany (1994). He has declared a preference for vocal music in his later years, and continues, like the English composer John Tavener, also an adherent of the Eastern Orthodox religion, to write much religious music.<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Arvo Part's Kanon Pokajanen is a work of starkly radiant beauty, a deeply felt plea for forgiveness so resonant it seems to bear its own expiatory power. The piece is a choral setting of the Russian Orthodox Church's canon of repentance, believed to have been composed by St. Andrew of Crete sometime in the late seventh century. Part had experimented with the canon in earlier works, but when the Cologne Cathedral commissioned him to compose a choral piece for its 750th anniversary, he took the opportunity to immerse himself in it completely. Over two years of intense quality time with the work, Part produced an 80-minute choral setting of the entire canon that mines each word of the original Church Slavonic (a language used exclusively in ecclesiastical texts) for its maximum musicality and meaning. Part believes language to be more important to a choral work than the music. In the liner notes, he explains that he wants each word "to find its own sound, to draw its own melodic line." The result is a piece that moves slowly and deliberately through the canon, making ample use of the silences between the words. The juxtaposition of the deep bass men's voices with the high soprano women's voices, sung in the dissonant harmonic style of medieval chant, parallels the canon's night and day symbolism. Part's version, performed in an immaculate recording by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, captures the sunrise feeling of a song that is still sung at the break of day in European monasteries. Marina Bobrik-Fromke's liner notes describe it beautifully: "The canon is heard in the nave, barely illuminated by the flickering candles, while the door to the sanctuary still remains closed. As soon as the canon has come to an end, this entrance...opens. The church is filled with light, signifying the presence of Christ." Asked by an interviewer how best to listen to the piece, Part laughed. "First of all," he said, "Turn off the television." If you're looking for background music, Kanon Pokajanen is not your best choice. This is music to soak in, music to meditate to. Music of searing intensity that finds that part of the soul, so often neglected in today's fast-paced lifestyle, that is starved for reverence, fear, and awe, longing to say "Come out to seek me; lead me up to Thy pasturage and number me among the sheep of Thy chosen flock. Nourish me with them on the grass of Thy Holy Mysteries." <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZDiOwzGgXK8h-QvVl8Ii0W56mhpTBdSOnaIYRYsTIx0viGml2kMjHtNa4e5JBWBy9h1r3iG8A7OCjDB-yQlnyQw4-Yo89nMq3ojsMAfCuqHrYSlEceLsB8EaAYcMIjWCsA/s815/Arvo+Part+-+Kanon+Pokajanen+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="815" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrZDiOwzGgXK8h-QvVl8Ii0W56mhpTBdSOnaIYRYsTIx0viGml2kMjHtNa4e5JBWBy9h1r3iG8A7OCjDB-yQlnyQw4-Yo89nMq3ojsMAfCuqHrYSlEceLsB8EaAYcMIjWCsA/w400-h350/Arvo+Part+-+Kanon+Pokajanen+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/dfc5da6480c9c82e75fb84b27d9cb1ea"> Arvo Pärt - Kanon Pokajanen .</a> (240 mb)<br /><br />01 Ode I 7:34<br />02 Ode III 11:43<br />03 Ode IV 7:12<br />04 Ode V 7:59<br />05 Ode VI 8:18<br />06 Kondakion 2:23<br />07 Ikos 2:57<br />08 Ode VII 7:12<br />09 Ode VIII 8:44<br />10 Ode IX 8:14<br />11 Prayer After The Kanon 11:02<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Arvo Pärt is a living national treasure to Estonia, and this album reveals such intimate access to his faith, sadness, and humility. Structured in five parts, Alina is a simple, chilling invocation of heartfelt desire comprised of only two movements that alternate with subtle variation. The opening lullaby of "Spiegel im Spiegel" is a gentle and melancholy embrace between Sergej Bezrodney on piano and Vladimir Spivakov on violin, where every note steps gracefully forward, as if ascending a fragile staircase. In contrast, the two movements of "Für Alina" leave a little room for structured improvisation, as the top note in each chord is left for the performer to, as Pärt puts it, "explore within themselves." Thus, Alexander Malter deserves special recognition for breathing such mournful sweetness into these passages through every fingertip; every delicate cluster of notes shines like a distant star through a wintery black night. Malter stays on for the middle section of "Spiegel im Spiegel" and, with violoncello from Dietmar Schwalke, adds a more somber deliberateness to the piece that pianist Bezrodney shies away from in his performances (tracks one and five), instead opting for restrained tenderness. The disc closes much in the same way it opens: as if a prayer of deepest longing were just whispered into the still air. Frequent ECM producer Manfred Eicher calls upon his usual strengths, by letting the instruments speak for themselves in the right acoustical settings -- less is certainly more, and the stark beauty of Alina comes partly from what we hear between the notes: such a rich and gorgeous silence. This is perhaps one of Pärt's finest releases on compact disc, though one of his quietest. These are the tears of ghosts. </p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tNIdSARKSqN6K4KpQlQOF76HZGjzwkLwtYiMn-WPYA9558Vb5_h5PZAfBRW4GWh1SFFsPXOYdv3dPhw6tB905p3NVvVSzIt1-fyfIgA2j8OQvSFSEZNxnQkbA35Xy_r1_w/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Alina+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tNIdSARKSqN6K4KpQlQOF76HZGjzwkLwtYiMn-WPYA9558Vb5_h5PZAfBRW4GWh1SFFsPXOYdv3dPhw6tB905p3NVvVSzIt1-fyfIgA2j8OQvSFSEZNxnQkbA35Xy_r1_w/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Alina+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/n5oj025b0"> Arvo Part - Alina </a> ( flac 123mb)<br /><br />01 Spiegel Im Spiegel 10:36<br />02 Für Alina 10:47<br />03 Spiegel Im Spiegel 9:12<br />04 Für Alina 10:53<br />05 Spiegel Im Spiegel 9:48<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br /> This is one of the finest Arvo Part recordings ever to appear, worthy of ECM's release some years back of "Te Deum." That disc closed with the eight-movement "Berliner Messe," and so does this disc, but the original organ accompaniment conceived by the composer has been revised and re-instated, bringing an added 'liturgical' sound to the work. This is sung one-to-a-part by the Theatre of Voices (including Paul Hillier as the bass singer) and is sensitively accompanied by Christopher Bowers-Broadbent. The clarity of sound throughout is unfailingly sharp, a credit to the singers more than anything else, and the music is beautifully enhanced by the acoustics of Ely Cathedral where these last tracks were recorded. Even if you already have the "Berliner Messe" (as recorded by Tonu Kaljuste on the ECM CD), it is worth getting this and listening to the organ version. The notes are the same, but the sound world is very different - and very compelling.The first half of the programme features the unaccompanied Pro Arte Singers, conducted by Hillier, who explore the eponymous "I am the True Vine" (written for a recent celebratory service in Norwich Cathedral) along with some other short works, all dating from within the past ten years. This is some impressive music, a generous slice of Part's acclaimed tintinnabuli style in various forms (despite the disc's running time). A number of the tracks are premiere recordings: of note, "The Woman with the Alabaster Box" and "Tribute to Caesar" are marvellously written settings of passages from the Gospels, showing as did "The Beautitudes" the ways in which Part deals with the English language. A particularly pleasant touch is the opening track, "Bogoroditsye Dyevo," which Part wrote for the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at King's College, Cambridge, in 1992 - this is a sprightly and joyful number that distills all of Part's hallmarks as a composer whilst managing to be brief and very 'Christmassy'!<br />It is not hard to see why Paul Hillier and Arvo Part have a successful working relationship. Part has supplied Hillier's various ensembles with some luscious and engrossing works (despite the overall simplicity of his style, some of the tracks on this disc really do keep you listening). In return, Hillier has directed them with aplomb and sensitivity, seeing that justice is done to each and every note.

And it was performing Passio, coming to know and understand Passio, that sort of sealed our relationship – the realisation that this is really something unique. If you look at the score of Passio and analyse it, it is very, very spartan, very sparse in the sense that there are actually only three keys used. And then at the very end, just for the very end, at the critical moment when Christ is on the cross and is about to die, suddenly, the four Evangelists come together on one unison A-note. And then there’s this silence, this death – he gave up the ghost, we’d say, his spirit isn’t in him, he gave up his spirit. And then there’s this extraordinary moment when the choir and everybody comes in, in D-major. So this chord comes in and it just goes right through your body! It’s an amazing moment – every time, it sends shivers down my spine. It’s like the richest Brahms you’ve ever heard, and you realise that there is life afterwards. This is the most important moment, the death, but it's actually looking forward, it’s for a reason, it’s a positive thing, and I think that this last page is the most stunning page of music you could ever wish to hear.</p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihATh31vMoxdFcJlBWUHa83NeUb30ps4dWeQSwMtZf7CK-J5kZLCUBKX-y3pzG-R58p3P8_nbCghrXMMVFjqcl8PlQY19Q4j9v1X7PTf7I9ZZehXbmHfRAR5Fe5mbOq8Cmfw/s712/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Passio+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihATh31vMoxdFcJlBWUHa83NeUb30ps4dWeQSwMtZf7CK-J5kZLCUBKX-y3pzG-R58p3P8_nbCghrXMMVFjqcl8PlQY19Q4j9v1X7PTf7I9ZZehXbmHfRAR5Fe5mbOq8Cmfw/w400-h400/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Passio+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/0MRAUX2G"> Arvo Pärt - Passio </a> ( flac 221mb)<br /><br />Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Joannem (1:01:51)<br />01 Jesus Is Betrayed And Arrested In Gethsemane (Exordium 18:1-12) 9:38<br />02 Jesus Is Interrogated By The High Priest And Denied By Peter (John 18:13-27) 11:28<br />03 Jesus Is Judged By Pilate And Reviled By The People (John 18:28-19:15) 26:18<br />04 Jesus Is Crucified At Golgotha (John 19:16-30; Conclusio) 14:27<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The name of Arvo Pärt has become something of an institution in the consumer culture of classical music. The “New Spiritualism” heralded by such seminal recordings as his Tabula rasa and Te Deum crystallized a sentiment that listeners were craving in the ruins of a postmodern malaise. Yet with this music came a host of expectations: it was supposed to heal us, guide us to an inner light, and provide an inexpensive and convenient means of achieving (temporary) peace. It was something to rely upon, a sonic friend that would never leave us. In believing this, however, we began to lose sight of our own powers and the tremendous dependence we were placing upon recorded media to wrestle with moral dilemmas in our stead. Beautiful and, yes, spiritual though these media are, they can never be a substitute for the enlightenment we read into them.<br /><br />The frame of Orient & Occident captures the dark side of Pärt’s compositional moon. Stand too close to it, and its darkness overwhelms; too far and it becomes a mere block of shadow. Wallfahrtslied (Pilgrim’s Song), a German setting of Psalm 121, positions us at a median distance and allows us to appreciate the best of both worlds. Composed in 1984 in memory of the composer’s close friend, Estonian director Grigori Kromanov, and since revised for men’s choir and strings, it is a harrowing slice of emotion. The music seems to grit its teeth in a slow, seething discontinuation as voices lay themselves at the orchestral altar. Strings try to remain passive, yet cannot help but break free from their subordinate position with cries of supplication. Before long, they stretch themselves into the thinnest of layers, through which one may see the translucence of the “self” and the “other” and acknowledge that the same light passes through and gives both substance.<br /><br />The seven-minute title composition, penned in 2000, is for strings only and continues the path that Pärt first began laying with Psalom and Trisagion. It is a grand statement, to be sure, but works its effect through tiny sonic miracles and primes us for the sojourn that awaits us in Como cierva sedienta (1998), a Spanish setting of Psalms 42-43 for women’s choir and orchestra. Exquisite winds recall 1989’s Miserere and rock like a cradle for soprano soloist Helena Olsson’s spiraling invocations. This is music firmly entrenched in its surroundings, while also content to break free from its compulsory resolutions. Strictly choral passages add pastoral unrest. Words tumble out of their own volition, filled with outbursts and infectious proclamations. Like the soul in this final Psalm, downcast even in the light of salvation, I realize that I fall into traps only of my own making. Every time I pull myself out of one, I am reminded that sounds like these are more than incidental to that struggle. Rather, they embody it to the fullest, a collective reminder of the physicality of living experience and the lessons it provides.<br /><br />The title of Pärt’s eighth ECM album makes me think of colonialism and its feeble justifications for subversion. That being said, I don’t think this is what the music is about. It deals instead with the gap that links these two words and the sacrifices that fill it with song. It is the blood flowing through that emptiness, and we the plunger pulling back to suction out the contagion of enslavement that prevents us all from staring into the face of love......<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hk4DjaxXX-PfGbL6-6ThiimFkbPZYbgbbMFJ2E6XvI3fF1sSZkpuxEU1tRhtcyL4YSu5WjvwB0jFJuaFyMyayF3DV-sQdWpFZKK-SOqRprm4SE3QTf4PUGWXMUd6WBdE-w/s806/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Orient+Occident+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="806" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7hk4DjaxXX-PfGbL6-6ThiimFkbPZYbgbbMFJ2E6XvI3fF1sSZkpuxEU1tRhtcyL4YSu5WjvwB0jFJuaFyMyayF3DV-sQdWpFZKK-SOqRprm4SE3QTf4PUGWXMUd6WBdE-w/w400-h354/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt++-+Orient+Occident+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/17cad5683ce99f5d427bd881b1f043f3"> Arvo Pärt - Orient Occident </a> ( flac 183mb)<br /><br />01 Wallfahrtslied / Pilgrim's Song 8:49<br />02 Orient & Occident 7:05<br />Como Cierva Sedienta <br />03 I 7:16<br />04 II 4:09<br />05 III 5:36<br />06 IV 3:27<br />07 V 10:53<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-88860232866691858902021-06-04T06:38:00.001+02:002021-06-04T06:38:11.648+02:00RhoDeo 2122 Grooves<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artists consisted of singers Sunshine Jones and Moonbeam Jones, but also included many sit in and on-tour musicians over the years. Born in a rent party, Dubtribe Sound System distinguished itself as performers by performing live for many hours, rather than replaying their recordings from DAT tapes or portable computers, and touring without stopping, often bringing their own sound, lights, and traveling family with them. But unlike its few counterparts in North America, Dubtribe would depart from the warehouse movement and establish itself in the mid-1990s as a grass-roots tour de force, refusing help, press, or money from any outside interests. .. N Joy<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Throughout the 1990s, Dubtribe Sound System established a devoted following amid the West Coast house scene because of its live performances, record releases, and self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. After Sunshine spent a summer on the Spanish party isle of Ibiza in 1989, "it started to make sense. All shapes and sizes getting together to dance", he says. "I wanted to share that. It changed me forever".Back in San Francisco, Sunshine had been leading an acid jazz band. When it needed a vocalist, he took on Moonbeam in 1990 ("I didn't want to meet anybody named Moonbeam," Sunshine says. "I had the shit beaten out of me for my name"). Inspired by Ibiza, he tried to transform his group into a live house-music act. Many of the band members bailed, leaving just Sunshine and Moonbeam to go it alone as Dubtribe. At first, it was a grind trying to get booked in a DJ-centric world, but the duo's DIY Come Unity events at the Bryant Street pad (the first event was a rent party) were a hit, and soon Dubtribe was making records<br />Comprised of Sunshine and Moonbeam Jones, the male-female duo met in San Francisco's thriving early-'90s house scene and soon after began making music together as Dubtribe. The duo's debut full-length, Sound System (1994), became a huge success, particularly the tracks "Sunshine's Theme" and "Mother Earth." The latter especially became a success, expanding Dubtribe's following beyond the West Coast. The duo began touring extensively, making its name more as a touring act than a recording one, in fact. Despite the relentless touring, Dubtribe did continue to release a steady output of music, mostly 12" EPs on its self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. In 1999 the duo approached mainstream crossover success with Bryant Street, a high-profile album for Jive Electro released during the height of the late-'90s electronica boom. Following the hype, Dubtribe quietly compiled two double-disc archival releases in 2000 -- Archive, Vol. 1: Rare and Deleted, a collection of dancefloor tracks, and Archive, Vol. 2: Ambient 1994, a collection of tracks from the duo's Selene Songs era. The duo released these collections on Imperial Dub and hoped to attract the legion of new fans drawn in by Bryant Street. A year later, in 2001, Dubtribe released "Do It Now," its most popular dancefloor track to date. The track became so popular that the duo released an EP of remixes and one of versions. In the wake of this success the duo mixed Dubtribe Sound System vs. Chillifunk Records: Heavyweight Soundclash (2002), a 15-track mix showcasing the British house label. <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Part of this Archives double-disc set is the defacto complete remastered album, Selene Songs Recorded at various live dates, it presents the San Francisco dubsters at their most ambient, with few beats to disturb the feeling. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0unVaQPUgAoRbr0HVwPPtTyrCAUNQnAesUdjn3o4sK5kRb8gB6YM1CivTASi2brPpUJ3Or0YjBdWAB-ZQVl8WnXNF9MQ792A-Ho3dDSt_rgsm-aHer-Ka9YsDtLlbONKZ2w/s712/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Selene+Songs+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0unVaQPUgAoRbr0HVwPPtTyrCAUNQnAesUdjn3o4sK5kRb8gB6YM1CivTASi2brPpUJ3Or0YjBdWAB-ZQVl8WnXNF9MQ792A-Ho3dDSt_rgsm-aHer-Ka9YsDtLlbONKZ2w/w400-h400/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Selene+Songs+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://mir.cr/0WXT8ZKJ"> Dubtribe Sound System - Selene Songs </a> (flac 368mb)<br /><br />01 Memory (Part One) 16:09<br />02 Sunshine's Theme (Sunshine's Remix) 8:09<br />03 Desert Moon 11:22<br />04 Quiet Earth 8:45<br />05 Sting Ray (Version) 5:53<br />06 Deep Flute Dub 8:55<br />07 Selene's Song 2:20 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Around 1993 after the duo had spent nearly two years touring the States in a van in the wake of their success as Dubtribe on the burgeoning rave scene, they reconvened in San Francisco and found themselves suddenly drawn to ambient music. Throughout 1994, Dubtribe essentially operated as an ambient group, before eventually returning to up-tempo dancefloor material. Collected here are many tracks that were recording during this brief era; while the first disc concentrates on a variety of styles, the second disc collects three pieces they recorded with Ovid, a Stanford University professor of physics and scholar of kabalistic theory who contributed spoken word. With most ambient music, even the most amazing sounds and the most evocative aural atmospheres can get a bit boring. Granted, by nature they are intended to linger redundantly, but the genre's better artists -- Brian Eno, Aphex Twin -- are able to balance the fine line between poetry and redundancy. Dubtribe Sound System cross that line continuously on this collection. The first disc manages to flow rather smoothly, with the introductory track being epic and the latter tracks being a bit shorter; the ambient remix of "Sunshine's Theme" is an obvious highlight, harking back to the original's classic melodies, while the other tracks offer the listener enough variety to prevent the music from becoming too lulling. Unfortunately, the second disc overextends itself at times, particularly on the torturous "Physical and Kabalistic Forces of Creation." There are a few moments on this album such as the album-concluding "Weiss-Kopf in Pardess" when the minimal ambience evolves into full-blown dancefloor music, which also prove to be highlights. But for the most part, this is an uneven album. Unlike the genre's classics -- Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works, Brian Eno's Music for Airports, Plastikman's Consumed -- Archive Volume Two lacks a common motif or aesthetic to make it feel like an album. It would have proved much more effective had several of the pieces been edited and ultimately crammed onto a single disc.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLTVUM0kEO5blnxhfcqYsA7-t0t_XzWXvSGwo3OmhvfVPicBHNP4HVscWSWi1lZ6fmU08afUiasYRdmF7km7TwUBm5Pf8Hpeh8al0a-zrph4VsP-rqRiU5HZ3-yeHtZAiGnQ/s712/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Archive+Volume+Two+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLTVUM0kEO5blnxhfcqYsA7-t0t_XzWXvSGwo3OmhvfVPicBHNP4HVscWSWi1lZ6fmU08afUiasYRdmF7km7TwUBm5Pf8Hpeh8al0a-zrph4VsP-rqRiU5HZ3-yeHtZAiGnQ/w400-h400/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Archive+Volume+Two+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/bDPb5"> Dubtribe Sound System - Archive vol 2 ambients </a> (flac 361mb)<br /><br />01 The Tree, The Ladder, The Chariot And The Self 30:53<br />02 Physical And Kabalistic Forces Of Creation 18:40<br />03 Weiss-Kopf In Pardess: Buildingblocks Of Creation 18:30<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Can house music really survive without Dubtribe Sound System? In the tradition of such aching yet genius swansongs as the Smiths' Strangeways Here We Come or (dare it be suggested) the Beatles' Abbey Road, Baggage was recorded with the bittersweet knowledge that it would be the last album that Sunshine and Moonbeam would ever make. And with that knowledge comes a somber tone that never before permeated the quite obviously hippie gatekeepers to West Coast house. But this is still Dubtribe, the duo who made a career from laying down some insanely popular dance tracks while sitting cross-legged on the floor of the rave. Who else could name their tracks "Shakertrance" and "Raggastronique" without being scoffed at in a time when house music is marketed as the soundtrack to overpriced cocktail consumption rather than the spiritual dance ritual that inspired Dubtribe and thousands of others at the start of the rave movement? "This Is the Time" pays homage to the music's roots in disco with a string-driven refrain that repeats the infamous mantra of party people, "Get down tonight," while the epic "Do It Now" (the hit that inspired this final Dubtribe outing) swells and falls and swells and falls, over and over again, like the best energy juice that dance music can offer. Mimicking both the continuous groove of the DJ and their own legendary ten-hour jam sessions, each track on Baggage flows into the next while still managing to maintain its own identity. Perhaps by making a timely exit, Dubtribe themselves will maintain their own identity, away from the generic groove cycle that most house music has become. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7r_jcWoEbrqeJO8650sZ7kJyq7r5qxJm0GF_I20ZjzzFwvRrCTW56KWsqOyDAvcUbP8I8YOljSmzSROi6BDpeggUxK8qZBQdhY1DEuz0m1KGfNoNZfmFiA6q4lusb58xp9Q/s712/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Baggage+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7r_jcWoEbrqeJO8650sZ7kJyq7r5qxJm0GF_I20ZjzzFwvRrCTW56KWsqOyDAvcUbP8I8YOljSmzSROi6BDpeggUxK8qZBQdhY1DEuz0m1KGfNoNZfmFiA6q4lusb58xp9Q/w400-h400/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Baggage+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/d47ee9b0fbd183b4a876444e6378ed27"> Dubtribe Sound System - Baggage </a> (flac 410mb)<br /><br />01 Shakertrance 7:15<br />02 Freeway 4:33<br />03 Autosoul 5:09<br />04 This Is The Time 4:48<br />05 Raggatronique 4:02<br />06 Rideline 8:16<br />07 Nothing Is Impossible 7:08<br />08 The Rhythm In Your Mind 7:28<br />09 Lo Disco 5:30<br />10 Make Me Stronger 4:48<br />11 Do It Now 12:26<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-32850613221939771802021-06-02T02:30:00.001+02:002021-06-02T13:39:55.986+02:00RhoDeo 2122 Expanse 44<p> Hello, now Babylon's in Ashes but we humans don't loose our hubris that easy after all we are used to celebrate ignorance..Anyway the story continues here this week.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Before Einstein created his unique theorems on relativity, deflating Newton’s theories on gravity, Nikola Tesla posited the idea that electricity and energy were responsible for almost all cosmic phenomena.

Credit: NASA/JPL/University of Arizona<br /><br /><br />What carved these landforms?<br /><br />Mars has been the subject of many previous Picture of the Day articles. Since its surface is preserved in a desert-like deep freeze, and appears devoid of water erosion, it is an excellent observational laboratory for Electric Universe concepts.<br /><br />One of the points emphasized by those who advocate the Electric Universe theory, is that the Solar System was the scene of catastrophic events in the recent past that took the form of massive electric discharges and other plasma phenomena. Those events are postulated to have taken place between 5000 and 10,000 years ago. Whatever agency was responsible—dense clouds of plasma from interstellar space, extraordinary solar flares, or the close passage of another electrically charged celestial body or bodies—the result was devastation on a planetary scale.<br /><br />The Medusae Fossae region on Mars is something of a puzzle for planetary scientists. An area approximately 1000 kilometers long by 400 kilometers at its widest point is so inundated with dust that there is no way for orbital instruments to derive a spectrogram. That means that no one knows what is under the dust. Since there is no way to know what it is, the speculation is that it might be layers of volcanic deposits, sediments from an ocean that vanished billions of years ago, or “compacted wind-blown soils”. Another possibility exists.<br /><br />When electricity makes contact and snakes around a solid body, such as a planet, electric currents pull charged material from the surface where the arc touches down. Neutral dust and stones are pulled along with the ionized particles. Craters are most often circular because electromagnetic forces cause the arcs to maintain right angles to the impact zone. In Medusae Fossae, semicircular craters are cut into the sides of many large hills, with the other half of the circle a trench. How can an impactor from space form a trench while cleanly slicing a rocky mesa?<br /><br />Since two or more filaments rotate around the arc axis, it can behave like a drill, excavating steep side walls and “pinching” a rolled rim. Often, the filaments will leave behind a central peak. Minerals in the crater will be electrically heated, scorched, and melted.<br /><br />As Electric Universe proponent Wal Thornhill suggested, a positively charged surface will be melted, while the electromagnetic forces within the arc might lift the surface to form a “lightning blister,” called a fulgamite. Olympus Mons, for example, demonstrates the results of such a discharge: a gigantic mound with several overlapping craters at the top and a vertical drop off at its edge. There is also a “moat” surrounding Olympus Mons, as well as other mountainous formations.<br /><br />If the surface is negatively charged, an arc will travel, sometimes eroding elongated craters, like the enigmatic “boot-shaped” crater recently discussed in a recent Picture of the Day. The arc might also jump from high point to high point. Smaller craters on the rims of larger ones point to this phenomenon. A series of craters in a line, otherwise called a “crater chain,” is another sign of arcing to a negatively charged substrate.<br /><br />The advantage of the electrical interpretation is that it directly explains the nature of the topography dominating the surface of Mars. Electromagnetic forces between Birkeland currents constrained to a surface will force them into alignment. Ionic winds can lift pulverized rock and carry it along in the direction of the current flow. Where a discharge channel bifurcates, the branches tend to remain parallel to each other and may rejoin.

For decades, numerous scientific papers have been published on the discordancy between the so-called expansion rate in the “early universe,” and the expansion rate in the “later Universe.”<br /><br />In fact, recently the Keck Observatory issued a press release on the reported most reliable verification to date that the discordancy is real. And as we've reported ad nauseam on this series, the cosmological crisis runs much deeper and includes "surprising" discoveries at all scales throughout the cosmos.<br /><br />In part one of this two-part presentation, physicist Wal Thornhill discusses some of the foundational problems with the standard cosmological model, and the real alternatives that the Electric Universe offers.<br /><br />If you see a CC with this video, it means that subtitles are available.

A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Babylon's Ashes is a science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the sixth book in their The Expanse series. The title of the novel was announced in early July 2015[1] and the cover and brief synopsis were revealed on September 14, 2015<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />Following the events of Nemesis Games, the so-called Free Navy, made up of Belters using stolen military ships, has been growing ever bolder. After the crippling attacks on Earth and the Martian Navy, the Free Navy turns its attention to the colony ships headed for the ring gates and the worlds beyond. The relatively defenseless ships are left to fend for themselves, as neither Earth nor Mars are powerful enough to protect them. James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are called upon once again by what remains of the UN and Martian governments to go to Medina Station, now in the hands of the Free Navy, in the ring station. On the other side of the rings an alien threat is growing; the Free Navy may be the least of humanity's problems. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuwTGD5heQUoH28CPU1uIfzvVfWDmdmbSGJpypjm6DIr56wTXPi75ZF3hfGrOqdPrBkAdZz5T5Ap-LqS0RFOtHldQ-yqUrFVcPLV_6NuaDPGD6BW4rtpuFoi7prnilKTUzOw/s712/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuwTGD5heQUoH28CPU1uIfzvVfWDmdmbSGJpypjm6DIr56wTXPi75ZF3hfGrOqdPrBkAdZz5T5Ap-LqS0RFOtHldQ-yqUrFVcPLV_6NuaDPGD6BW4rtpuFoi7prnilKTUzOw/w400-h400/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/e2dead0405c993b3ee0194999c15982d">James S.A.

He is strongly influenced by the minimalist movement & Gregorian chant.<br />In 1958, he entered at the Tallinn Conservatoire & he became famous through USSR with his composition 'Our Garden'. At the beginning of the seventies, he began to use serialism in his works but he stopped. An interest for Gregorian chant & medieval music then brought a new dimension to his music. Mystic, restful & emotional might be some adjectives to describe his compositions. He is one of the most important composers of 'mystical minimalist movement' with John Tavener & Henryk Górecki. exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />xxxxxx<br /><br /> Arvo Pärt is one of the most important living composers of concert music. His first works, dating from the 1950s, showed the influence of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as heard in his two Sonatinas for piano (1958). But as his musical studies under Heino Eller continued, he was drawn toward serial techniques and turned out a number of works in the 1960s in this vein. His First Symphony (1961), for instance, displays this method and is dedicated to Eller. By the end of that decade, Pärt had become disenchanted by the 12-tone technique and began writing music in varying styles. In 1976, however, Pärt started composing in what he called his tintinnabulation (or tintinnabuli) method, which involves the prominent use of pure triads. This new style resulted in music so radically different from that which had preceded it, that many observed that it seemed to have come from a different hand altogether.<br /><br />Unlike most composers of major rank, Pärt did not show remarkable talent in his childhood or even in his early adolescence. His first serious study came in 1954 at the Tallinn Music Middle School, but less than a year later he temporarily abandoned it to fulfill military service, playing oboe and percussion in the army band. <br /><br />In 1957, Pärt enrolled at the Tallinn Conservatory where he studied under Eller. He graduated in 1963, having worked throughout his student years and afterward as a recording engineer for Estonian Radio. He wrote several film scores and other works during this period, among them his two Sonatinas for piano, from 1958, and Nekrolog, a serial work for orchestra, from 1960. He also wrote a number of choral pieces at this time, among which was the ethereal a cappella effort, Solfeggio (1964). Pärt continued to compose music mainly in the serial vein throughout the 1960s, but received little recognition, since that method of composition was generally anathema throughout the Soviet Union. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Pärt studied the music of Renaissance era composers, particularly that of Machaut, Josquin Desprez, and Obrecht. His Symphony No. 3 reflected these influences in its austere, Medieval sound world.<br /><br />By the mid-1970s, Pärt was working on an altogether new style of composition. In 1976 he unveiled this method, the aforementioned tintinnabulation, with the piano work, Für Alina. A trio of more popular works followed in 1977, Fratres, for string quintet and wind quintet (later given additional arrangements by the composer), Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (revised 1980) and Tabula Rasa, for two violins, prepared piano, and string orchestra. Owing to the continued political oppression he found in Estonia, Pärt and his wife and two sons emigrated to the West in 1980, settling first in Vienna, then in West Berlin.<br /><br />In the 1980s and 1990s, Pärt, a devout member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, wrote a number of large-scale choral religious works, including the St. John Passion (1982), Magnificat (1989), The Beatitudes (1990), and Litany (1994). He has declared a preference for vocal music in his later years, and continues, like the English composer John Tavener, also an adherent of the Eastern Orthodox religion, to write much religious music.<br /><br />In 1995, Pärt was recognized for his many artistic achievements by being elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His 2008 Symphony No. 4 was nominated for a Grammy for Best Comtemporary Classical Composition. He remains among the most popular serious composers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The title track, the 34 minute "Miserere" really holds the disc on its own and is all you really need to hear, yet the other two tracks are not without their merits, and are most likely simply beyond what I can understand. Some might find all of the works here superb just from within their own worlds of sound, some will find them confusing and boring, and some will need a pairing of the ideas behind the composition and lyrics in order to get the full appreciation."Miserere" is the most listenable on its own, with a wide, rich dynamic and timbral range (holy s##t at 30:02-30:20--deep organ note and vocal suspension over it), along with a real sense of travel and dramatic tension--even if you don't know or care about the Latin text or its religious meaning. Part also achieves as much emotional leverage with his sparse opening minutes as he does with the climactic full ensemble moments. The lonely clarinet, oboe, and bassoon notes echoing in the hall in conjunction with the flowing vocal line is haunting and gives a sense of the immensity of space, both inner and physical.<br /><br />"Festina Lente" starts busy and stays busy for its relatively short five minutes, and feels more like a time-filler or an exercise that Part might have written just to get ideas out of his head. It feels like a work he could have just as easily unraveled and stretched into a 54-minute study in intervals and layers.<br /><br />"Sarah Was Ninety Years Old" is aptly titled since it feels like it takes ninety years to play out AMIRITE?<br />Kidding aside, what starts as near-comedy with a lone drummer playing a four-note, two-pitch motif in a steady journey that recalls the logic and work of an elementary student, turns into some absorbing, thought-provoking, and ultimately intense patterns of growth. The work has deeper religious meaning and context, but to me it sounds like someone at the end of life, lying still, waiting for death, which approaches in the gradual growth of the drum patterns. The vocal interludes in between representing reflection on the life lived, and the ending representing the passage to the afterlife. Since I have no connection and find little meaning in the biblical implications of the work, it's a testament to the writing that it still communicates to me, as does a majority of Part's music thus far.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwb_XjOzGdk4-fKtAHbz8j-2JuXy4xJdbHcJQGfa0W9QiBJ1FI-ZNGssq_OB477D8l0a6YDE8DU29Rnk02BGs9jLGhyVXE8WM_AllGZw7SI8Z-W2rTDtWy-ygvECBDKODL1g/s817/Arvo+Part+-+Miserere+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="817" height="349" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwb_XjOzGdk4-fKtAHbz8j-2JuXy4xJdbHcJQGfa0W9QiBJ1FI-ZNGssq_OB477D8l0a6YDE8DU29Rnk02BGs9jLGhyVXE8WM_AllGZw7SI8Z-W2rTDtWy-ygvECBDKODL1g/w400-h349/Arvo+Part+-+Miserere+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/8b293391663e253d9e878e6536d7afbe"> Arvo Part - Miserere .</a> (187) mb)<br /><br />01 Miserere 34:34<br />02 Festina lente 5:24<br />03 Sarah Was Ninety Years Old 25:28 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Like a multi-decker sandwich, this record alternates thick slices of Arvo Part's early work with the refined elegance of his later music, on which Part's currently high reputation rests. The three later pieces included here (Summa, Fratres and Festina lente) have all been recorded before. Of the four older works, three are not otherwise available on record (Collage teemal BACH, If Bach had been a Beekeeper and Credo); the Second Symphony has been championed once before by Neeme Jarvi, in the company of the Cello Concerto, Perpetuum mobile and the other two symphonies (BIS).<br />Tastes will differ, but I find myself enjoying the filling far more than the bread. Festina lente, for string orchestra, is one of Part's most exquisitely bell-like scores, and the Philharmonia here play it beautifully. On ECM, however, it's more strongly coupled with the Miserere and Sarah was ninety years old to form one of the most appealing Part records on the market. The short Summa is properly a setting of the Creed for four voices, and it has been sung perfectly by The Hilliard Ensemble (ECM, 9/87); Jarvi's new version is an arrangement for strings. Fratres also exists in more than one incarnation. Two other realizations, respectively for 12 cellos or for violin and piano, are available on ECM ((CD) 817 764-2). Now we have a third arrangement, for string orchestra. To my mind this is the most effective yet, and it has the advantage of including all nine of the intended variations. This track is probably the record's best selling-point.<br />Set beside these gentle delicacies, the four early pieces seem garrulous, confrontational and bewilderingly eclectic, with their uncomfortable mix of high modernism and variously digested quotation—largely of Bach, but also of Tchaikovsky in the Symphony No. 2. It's instructive to hear them, if only to learn more about the context from which Part's later music emerged. In their own right, however, I doubt if these scores would have earned the composer a fraction of the international acclaim he now enjoys.'<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyz7dN4gc1kq-VHDqvnJUj-FzH0cvQYvJQgPu7hN53f7TnO0SFqokHx_r12CiPRKlFgURp0ll2bzJv-yhWj296ADWWDW3GbSewUYEM3eE7YADMS8Acqw-vc7HEBH4A6qkog/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Collage+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMyz7dN4gc1kq-VHDqvnJUj-FzH0cvQYvJQgPu7hN53f7TnO0SFqokHx_r12CiPRKlFgURp0ll2bzJv-yhWj296ADWWDW3GbSewUYEM3eE7YADMS8Acqw-vc7HEBH4A6qkog/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Collage+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/01RMEHKS"> Arvo Part - Collage </a> ( flac 216mb)<br /><br />Collage Sur B-A-C-H (7:45)<br />01 I Toccata.

Te Deum employs Pärt's signature tintinnabuli compositional style. Tintinnabuli is often described as a minimalistic compositional technique, as its harmonic logic departs from that of the tonal tradition of Western classical music, creating its own distinct harmonic system. Tintinnabulation is a process in which a chosen triad encircles a melody, manifesting itself in specific positions in relation to the melody according to a predetermined scheme of adjacency. In its most rudimentary form, Pärt's tintinnabuli music is composed of two main voices: one carries the usually stepwise melody (M-voice) while the other follows the trajectory of the melody but is limited to notes of a specific triad (T-voice). In the case of Te Deum, it is a D triad that is featured in the T-voice, and as such provides the harmonic basis for the entire piece.<br /><br />The work is scored for three choirs (women's choir, men's choir, and mixed choir), prepared piano, divisi strings, and wind harp. According to the Universal Edition full score, the piano part requires that four pitches be prepared with metal screws and calls for "as large a concert grand as possible" and "amplified". The wind harp is similar to the Aeolian harp, its strings vibrating due to wind passing through the instrument. Manfred Eicher of ECM Records "recorded this 'wind music' on tape and processed it acoustically." The two notes (D and A) performed on the wind harp are to be played on two separate CD or DAT recordings. According to the score preface, the wind harp functions as a drone throughout the piece, fulfilling "a function comparable to that of the ison in Byzantine church music, a repeated note which does not change pitch." <br /><br />On an ECM records leaflet, Pärt wrote that the Te Deum text has "immutable truths", reminding him of the "immeasurable serenity imparted by a mountain panorama." His composition sought to communicate a mood "that could be infinite in time—out of the flow of infinity. I had to draw this music gently out of silence and emptiness." <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_aT3MpUXRJ70-nVpcys2pdNAL6AgMJUzXGQoAZC93xRoabEPzGUe5W5OYuwOm-_Eg-oOyhcZwdMHxSKoSjl6DCkmCm6F81u32hKe-sJ3wDISsYE-k3p7mJuNNcwbgLkni1A/s712/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Te+Deum+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_aT3MpUXRJ70-nVpcys2pdNAL6AgMJUzXGQoAZC93xRoabEPzGUe5W5OYuwOm-_Eg-oOyhcZwdMHxSKoSjl6DCkmCm6F81u32hKe-sJ3wDISsYE-k3p7mJuNNcwbgLkni1A/w400-h400/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Te+Deum+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/JXQEd"> Arvo Pärt - Te Deum </a> ( flac 230mb)<br /><br />01 Te Deum 28:43<br />02 Silouans Song ("My Soul Yearns After The Lord ...") 5:35<br />03 Magnificat 6:38<br />Berliner Messe <br />04 Kyrie 3:09<br />05 Gloria 3:42<br />06 Erster Alleluiavers 0:52<br />07 Zweiter Alleluiavers 1:10<br />08 Veni Sancte Spiritus 4:57<br />09 Credo 3:56<br />10 Sanctus 4:04<br />11 Agnus Dei 2:41<br /> <br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Drawing from the writings of St. John Chrysostum (c. 349-407), whose prayers for daily hours comprise the font from which Arvo Pärt anoints this musical setting, the Estonian composer spins a soft thread of light with limited information. Like the equally visceral settings of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff before him, Pärt’s is utterly moving and uniquely colored by the sensitivity of his instrumental writing, such as listeners have encountered in his Miserere and Passio. The voices of Litany seem to arise out of their orchestral surroundings as if they have been hiding within it and are only now choosing to reveal themselves. Such is the effect of the Hilliard Ensemble’s unity throughout. Tubular bells and horns make their presence known. Subtle clues from orchestra and choir announce the hours as women’s voices pour their glorious shine like starlight from an alabaster jar. Philip Glassean punctuations of winds enhance the spell. The volume builds, only to subside, returning to the silence of a head bowed in contemplation. Under the guidance of Tõnu Kaljuste, the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, along with the Hilliard Ensemble, have given us a most selfless reading of this masterful composition.<br /><br />Following this are two pieces performed by the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra at the baton of Saulius Sondeckis, under whose direction the world at large was first introduced to the music of Arvo Pärt through ECM’s Tabula Rasa. Originally conceived as a string quartet, Psalom emerges here as one of the composer’s most heartrending pieces for strings, second perhaps only to Silouans Song. Each phrase is lifted before it fades, blurring “vocal” lines like breath in winter air. Trisagion also takes its inspiration from St. John Chrysostum. Like a landmass over time, it falls into the inevitability of erosion, so that only the abstract remains untouched by the limits of tangibility. It ends on a repeated proclamation that would be overbearing in its insistence, if not for its decline in volume and number, mathematically reduced to zero.<br /><br />Pacing is absolutely essential to the mood and architecture of the entire album, and this the musicians accomplish with uncanny immediacy. One of the more powerful post-Te Deum releases, Litany is sung and performed with unparalleled dedication. Countertenor David James is the perfect foil for Pärt’s anti-dualism, and emerges as the voice of reason in an unreasonable era.<br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGWUTXegn5y9MgxXXyuEtaqv0zwTfTkvb00ZWWSStppayD3a14x75MX8rt5vTWQA-xHsW7OShf5ZJnHCi93dCJzxGxXkYMePRYUYVRi9rVVja5Ewh5F-oMDevRWkyaQSmbFA/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Litany+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGWUTXegn5y9MgxXXyuEtaqv0zwTfTkvb00ZWWSStppayD3a14x75MX8rt5vTWQA-xHsW7OShf5ZJnHCi93dCJzxGxXkYMePRYUYVRi9rVVja5Ewh5F-oMDevRWkyaQSmbFA/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Litany+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/jhfi1fz94"> Arvo Part - Litany</a> ( flac 141mb)<br /><br />01 Litany 22:45<br />02 Psalom 6:45<br />03 Trisagion 11:53<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Sacred minimalism at its best.Beautiful, quiet and epic, just perfect.....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj6mlDpXSdcA3dMyIr5E9F7jFBj4TmeMaiNWezC5vkbVxPPLdio15lk5zZgYE4wE1XP0_qznV0JSGwfr_TpHsM5WtMFq-1B_EiapCLL9Xdh_fhgODjdwmjHvv_C9AYbnVG8w/s712/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Theatre+Of+Voices%252C+Paul+Hillier+-+De+Profundis+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj6mlDpXSdcA3dMyIr5E9F7jFBj4TmeMaiNWezC5vkbVxPPLdio15lk5zZgYE4wE1XP0_qznV0JSGwfr_TpHsM5WtMFq-1B_EiapCLL9Xdh_fhgODjdwmjHvv_C9AYbnVG8w/w400-h400/Arvo+P%25C3%25A4rt+-+Theatre+Of+Voices%252C+Paul+Hillier+-+De+Profundis+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/cfd874e1ce8be4ab554bb3b3de6f2ddd"> Arvo Pärt - Theatre Of Voices, Paul Hillier - De Profundis</a> ( flac 261mb)<br /><br />01 De profundis (Psalm 129) 8:19<br />Missa sillabica<br />02 Kyrie 2:21<br />03 Gloria 2:16<br />04 Credo 3:44<br />05 Sanctus 1:20<br />06 Agnus Dei 2:35<br />07 Ite missa est 0:28<br />08 Solfeggio 5:14<br />09 "And One of the Pharisees" 10:05<br />10 Cantate Domino (Psalm 95) 2:50<br />11 Summa (Credo) 6:24<br />Seven Magnificat Antiphons<br />12 O Weisheit 1:50<br />13 O Adonai 2:52<br />14 O Sproß aus Isais Wurzel 1:07<br />15 O Schlüssel 1:57<br />16 O Morgenstern 2:21<br />17 O König 1:29<br />18 O Immanuel 3:26<br />19 The Beatitudes 8:08<br />20 Magnificat 6:47 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-64044813769817864192021-05-29T00:47:00.000+02:002021-05-29T00:47:24.944+02:00RhoDeo 2121 Grooves<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artists consisted of singers Sunshine Jones and Moonbeam Jones, but also included many sit in and on-tour musicians over the years. Born in a rent party, Dubtribe Sound System distinguished itself as performers by performing live for many hours, rather than replaying their recordings from DAT tapes or portable computers, and touring without stopping, often bringing their own sound, lights, and traveling family with them. But unlike its few counterparts in North America, Dubtribe would depart from the warehouse movement and establish itself in the mid-1990s as a grass-roots tour de force, refusing help, press, or money from any outside interests. .. N Joy<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Throughout the 1990s, Dubtribe Sound System established a devoted following amid the West Coast house scene because of its live performances, record releases, and self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. After Sunshine spent a summer on the Spanish party isle of Ibiza in 1989, "it started to make sense. All shapes and sizes getting together to dance", he says. "I wanted to share that. It changed me forever".Back in San Francisco, Sunshine had been leading an acid jazz band. When it needed a vocalist, he took on Moonbeam in 1990 ("I didn't want to meet anybody named Moonbeam," Sunshine says. "I had the shit beaten out of me for my name"). Inspired by Ibiza, he tried to transform his group into a live house-music act. Many of the band members bailed, leaving just Sunshine and Moonbeam to go it alone as Dubtribe. At first, it was a grind trying to get booked in a DJ-centric world, but the duo's DIY Come Unity events at the Bryant Street pad (the first event was a rent party) were a hit, and soon Dubtribe was making records<br />Comprised of Sunshine and Moonbeam Jones, the male-female duo met in San Francisco's thriving early-'90s house scene and soon after began making music together as Dubtribe. The duo's debut full-length, Sound System (1994), became a huge success, particularly the tracks "Sunshine's Theme" and "Mother Earth." The latter especially became a success, expanding Dubtribe's following beyond the West Coast. The duo began touring extensively, making its name more as a touring act than a recording one, in fact. Despite the relentless touring, Dubtribe did continue to release a steady output of music, mostly 12" EPs on its self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. In 1999 the duo approached mainstream crossover success with Bryant Street, a high-profile album for Jive Electro released during the height of the late-'90s electronica boom. Following the hype, Dubtribe quietly compiled two double-disc archival releases in 2000 -- Archive, Vol. 1: Rare and Deleted, a collection of dancefloor tracks, and Archive, Vol. 2: Ambient 1994, a collection of tracks from the duo's Selene Songs era. The duo released these collections on Imperial Dub and hoped to attract the legion of new fans drawn in by Bryant Street. A year later, in 2001, Dubtribe released "Do It Now," its most popular dancefloor track to date. The track became so popular that the duo released an EP of remixes and one of versions. In the wake of this success the duo mixed Dubtribe Sound System vs. Chillifunk Records: Heavyweight Soundclash (2002), a 15-track mix showcasing the British house label. <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Part of this Archives double-disc set is the defacto complete remastered debut album, Sound System<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbZggIiy_8T9zJ-NjWChuVxTawbBX86wpKN4rgPzWWve2niF8EBaqMk46GbwvQVmbSh2BPVIK3Wr-70Q1-i2RB4M2o-k9qpj7U0VVur6QU9D_BLUUPD7v8kTnCdUzUYpsiw/s712/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Sound+System+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWbZggIiy_8T9zJ-NjWChuVxTawbBX86wpKN4rgPzWWve2niF8EBaqMk46GbwvQVmbSh2BPVIK3Wr-70Q1-i2RB4M2o-k9qpj7U0VVur6QU9D_BLUUPD7v8kTnCdUzUYpsiw/w400-h400/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Sound+System+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://multiup.org/eaef1a2367421369daec05efcc0e3e3a"> Dubtribe Sound System - Sound System (Archive vol 1)</a> (flac 504mb)<br /><br />01 Intro :07<br />02 A Little Sun 2:03<br />03 Sunshine’s Theme 7:40<br />04 So Much Love 5:54<br />05 Deep Soul 6:07<br />06 Hold Your Head Up High 10:28<br />07 The Love Theme From Dubtribe Sound System 4:04<br />08 80 East 7:50<br />09 Acceleration 12:06<br />10 Mother Earth 7:36<br />11 Exit 0:55<br />12 So Much For Love 4:36<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />This double-disc set compiles most of the early to mid-'90s tracks that made Dubtribe Sound System such a widely acknowledged group in the North American electronic dance music scene. While the group may be more recognized for their remarkable live performances, tracks such as "Mother Earth" and "Sunshine's Theme" make a strong argument that their productions were just as vital to their popularity. Relative to their highly organic later '90s work on Bryant Street, these recordings retain a certain degree of nostalgic sound to them, utilizing fairly traditional percussive rhythms with accentuating synth melodies modeled after the timeless 303 acid riff. Fortunately, their sounds are warmer than acid techno, often incorporating small spoken word mantras and plenty of catchy melodies. Since this album also compiles several remixes on the second disc, it's arguably the best place to discover this group's sound, even if later albums featured a much more evolved sound. <br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjck_kmgOWRVgy4XAfqdT_sYq9KaFQThPe8n4cnDxHUCwNkUlMxzhZkDu6HBiL00SspSseF4DZaBSNiMxoWHNDsMR-drKHDIF4iUOkjysTg7UxNOBwkYNLkDVFnT29DSKB3Cg/s712/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Archive+vol+1+remixes+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjck_kmgOWRVgy4XAfqdT_sYq9KaFQThPe8n4cnDxHUCwNkUlMxzhZkDu6HBiL00SspSseF4DZaBSNiMxoWHNDsMR-drKHDIF4iUOkjysTg7UxNOBwkYNLkDVFnT29DSKB3Cg/w400-h400/Dubtribe+Sound+System+-+Archive+vol+1+remixes+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/dGvYe"> Dubtribe Sound System - Archive vol 1 remixes </a> (flac 361mb)<br /><br />01 Mother Earth (Ragga Earth Remix) 7:42<br />02 Mother Earth (Ammunition Mix) 4:52<br />03 Reclaim Your House Nation 6:29<br />04 Sunshine’s Theme (1/2 Tab Remix) 10:15<br />05 Scat 1:25<br />06 Dubstylee 8:12<br />07 Beat Like Sheep 5:35<br />08 Dub Like Sheep 6:34<br />09 Deep Like Sheep 3:40<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Dub tribe can only be described in one word, indescribable.

It aint techno! Its a flavorful blend of congas, d'jembe's, beats, (cleverly mixed by mark farina!) into some of the finest house IVE EVER HEARD. I can't get enough of this stuff. I loved this groove so much that I named my dance after what it made want to do, "GROOVE". (groovejam in northampton mass). This disc is well worth the purchase......first heard this disc at DanceJam in berkley and it TOTALLY rocked the house, had the room groovin for a solid 10 minutes!

ESA/Herschel/</p><p><br />Rings around stars confirm Electric Universe theory.<br /><br />A recent press release from the European Space Agency announces that a ring around the star Fomalhaut (Fo-mal-HOUT) demonstrates “the glow from dust in the debris disc – a structure resembling the Kuiper Belt in the primordial Solar System – around the young star Fomalhaut. Detailed studies suggest that the dust in this debris disc consists of “fluffy” aggregates of grains, which are produced by the frequent collisions taking place between comets within the disc.”<br /><br />“Combining both Herschel and Hubble data, we figured out that dust in Fomalhaut’s debris disc must behave like small grains in terms of emission and absorption, but it must scatter light like large grains do,” explains co-author Michiel Min from Utrecht University and the University of Amsterdam. “A form of dust that combines all these properties together consists of “fluffy” aggregates: large conglomerates of small dust grains with lots of empty space in the structure,” adds Min.<br /><br />Astronomers believe that fluffy dust aggregates in the Solar System arise from collisions between comets, so they assume that the fluffy dust observed in the debris disc of Fomalhaut derives from cometary collisions, too. However, radiation pressure from the star should effectively blow such fluffy particles away: “this blow-out effect must be compensated by a steady production of dust particles via comet collisions,” notes co-author Carsten Dominik from the University of Amsterdam and Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, which means the dust particles are being replenished by cometary impacts.<br /><br />But this requires a phenomenal number of comets, “between 1011 and 1013, depending on their sizes” and an incredible rate of collisions between these widely separated bodies. “We estimate that the required amount of dust can be produced by an average rate of 2000 daily collisions between comets with a size of one kilometre across,” Dominik adds. It should also be noted that this requires faith in the hypothetical Oort cloud and Kuiper belt of comets, which must be disturbed by a passing star to provide the meager cometary display in our own Solar System.<br /><br />The ring around Fomalhaut is 140 Astronomical Units (AU—the distance of Earth from the Sun) from the star. By comparison, Pluto is only 40 AU from the Sun. The disk is calculated to be 16 AU wide and about 2 AU thick. Distributing 1013 comets in this volume produces a density of one comet for each 1016 cubic kilometers of empty space. If the one-kilometer-diameter comets are represented by marbles one inch in diameter, the “marble comets” would be separated by about 4 miles. The chance of a collision is indistinguishable from zero.<br /><br />At the distance of 140 AU, the comets’ orbital velocities will be miniscule, and they will all be orbiting in the same direction. Should any two approach each other on anything but a direct center-to-center path, their gravitational acceleration toward each other will increase their energies and serve to push them into wider orbits around each other, effectively preventing a collision. (For a similar interaction, consider the Moon around the Earth from a heliocentric point of view.)<br /><br />Furthermore, these hypothetical structures are not restricted to a plane, so the ring should be diffuse and thick. However, an ESO report remarks that “both the inner and outer edges of the thin, dusty disc have very sharp edges.” “The ring is even more narrow and thinner than previously thought.” Shepherding planets were originally invoked, but this more recent finding has created ever more problems for theoreticians.<br /><br />Once again, a desperate, ad hoc hypothesis involving collisions and unseen objects is invoked to explain excess radiant energy from a structure around a star. The EU model has a much simpler answer. Various ring structures, like supernova 1987A, are witness to cylindrical current sheets passing vertically through a thin equatorial disk of gas and dust. The cylindrical current sheet tends to form one or more particle beam “hot spots” around the ring, as plasma laboratory experiments reveal and the IBEX mission has recently discovered about our own Sun.<br /><br />Rather than collisions from an unbelievable cloud of comets causing “fluffy” dust to reflect radiant energy from the star Fomalhaut, a dust ring is simply intercepting some of the electrical energy that powers the star, causing a glowing ring to appear.<br /><br />Wal Thornhill, Mel Acheson<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Scientists generally use the term "crisis in cosmology" to describe the numerous and growing evidences that contradict or undermine the Big Bang theory.

A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Babylon's Ashes is a science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the sixth book in their The Expanse series. The title of the novel was announced in early July 2015[1] and the cover and brief synopsis were revealed on September 14, 2015<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />Following the events of Nemesis Games, the so-called Free Navy, made up of Belters using stolen military ships, has been growing ever bolder. After the crippling attacks on Earth and the Martian Navy, the Free Navy turns its attention to the colony ships headed for the ring gates and the worlds beyond. The relatively defenseless ships are left to fend for themselves, as neither Earth nor Mars are powerful enough to protect them. James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante are called upon once again by what remains of the UN and Martian governments to go to Medina Station, now in the hands of the Free Navy, in the ring station. On the other side of the rings an alien threat is growing; the Free Navy may be the least of humanity's problems. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BZaMtoJOlkr_YLy4JRSxQfYvmUGXNT4W57w2zF6vs4Cus9_heoBwL9kX-4eeze303B6TKP7h1wQv8TWHmi0KqjRkLhq4M08Pv1kTScWFj7GKci5OEOBTc6WzE_4VKBsUgg/s712/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BZaMtoJOlkr_YLy4JRSxQfYvmUGXNT4W57w2zF6vs4Cus9_heoBwL9kX-4eeze303B6TKP7h1wQv8TWHmi0KqjRkLhq4M08Pv1kTScWFj7GKci5OEOBTc6WzE_4VKBsUgg/w400-h400/Babylon%2527s+Ashes.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/eb74cd576967f7dc224c554860e8f940">James S.A.

Winner was Italy with Måneskin thanks to a huge score from the popular vote with their bare-chested, punk-funk rock which they sang in Italian They beat the french chanson a great contrast. third came in Switzerland with a clone of sorts from last time's winner Duncan Lawrence<br /><br /><br /><br />Today's artist might be considered as the main composer of contemporary sacred music. He is strongly influenced by the minimalist movement & Gregorian chant. Mystic, restful & emotional might be some adjectives to describe his compositions. He is one of the most important composers of 'mystical minimalist movement' with John Tavener & Henryk Górecki. exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />xxxxxx<br /><br /> Arvo Pärt is one of the most important living composers of concert music. His first works, dating from the 1950s, showed the influence of Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as heard in his two Sonatinas for piano (1958). But as his musical studies under Heino Eller continued, he was drawn toward serial techniques and turned out a number of works in the 1960s in this vein. His First Symphony (1961), for instance, displays this method and is dedicated to Eller. By the end of that decade, Pärt had become disenchanted by the 12-tone technique and began writing music in varying styles. In 1976, however, Pärt started composing in what he called his tintinnabulation (or tintinnabuli) method, which involves the prominent use of pure triads. This new style resulted in music so radically different from that which had preceded it, that many observed that it seemed to have come from a different hand altogether.<br /><br />Unlike most composers of major rank, Pärt did not show remarkable talent in his childhood or even in his early adolescence. His first serious study came in 1954 at the Tallinn Music Middle School, but less than a year later he temporarily abandoned it to fulfill military service, playing oboe and percussion in the army band. <br /><br />In 1957, Pärt enrolled at the Tallinn Conservatory where he studied under Eller. He graduated in 1963, having worked throughout his student years and afterward as a recording engineer for Estonian Radio. He wrote several film scores and other works during this period, among them his two Sonatinas for piano, from 1958, and Nekrolog, a serial work for orchestra, from 1960. He also wrote a number of choral pieces at this time, among which was the ethereal a cappella effort, Solfeggio (1964). Pärt continued to compose music mainly in the serial vein throughout the 1960s, but received little recognition, since that method of composition was generally anathema throughout the Soviet Union. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Pärt studied the music of Renaissance era composers, particularly that of Machaut, Josquin Desprez, and Obrecht. His Symphony No. 3 reflected these influences in its austere, Medieval sound world.<br /><br />By the mid-1970s, Pärt was working on an altogether new style of composition. In 1976 he unveiled this method, the aforementioned tintinnabulation, with the piano work, Für Alina. A trio of more popular works followed in 1977, Fratres, for string quintet and wind quintet (later given additional arrangements by the composer), Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten (revised 1980) and Tabula Rasa, for two violins, prepared piano, and string orchestra. Owing to the continued political oppression he found in Estonia, Pärt and his wife and two sons emigrated to the West in 1980, settling first in Vienna, then in West Berlin.<br /><br />In the 1980s and 1990s, Pärt, a devout member of the Eastern Orthodox Church, wrote a number of large-scale choral religious works, including the St. John Passion (1982), Magnificat (1989), The Beatitudes (1990), and Litany (1994). He has declared a preference for vocal music in his later years, and continues, like the English composer John Tavener, also an adherent of the Eastern Orthodox religion, to write much religious music.<br /><br />In 1995, Pärt was recognized for his many artistic achievements by being elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His 2008 Symphony No. 4 was nominated for a Grammy for Best Comtemporary Classical Composition. He remains among the most popular serious composers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The 1984 ECM album Tabula Rasa was the vehicle that introduced the revolutionary music of Arvo Pärt to audiences outside Eastern Europe and initiated what was to become one of the most extraordinary musical careers of the late 20th century. Like many of the first generation American minimalists, he limited himself to diatonic harmonies and generated pieces by setting processes in motion, but the radical simplicity he achieved was the result of religious contemplation that was at least as, if not more, formative than his quest for a new musical aesthetic. The result was music suffused by an unhurried, luminous serenity, and while it was distinctly contemporary, it had an archaic quality that tied it to the music of the very distant past.<br /><br />The three instrumental pieces recorded here (one of which appears in two versions) were among the first Pärt wrote in his newly developed style, which came to be known popularly as holy minimalism. (The composer prefers the term tintinnabulation, because in his words, "The three notes of the triad are like bells.") Fratres, originally for chamber orchestra, is undeniably Pärt's most popular work and exists in well over a dozen versions, two of which are included here. Gidon Kremer and Keith Jarrett bring great nuance and sensitivity to the version for violin and piano. They play somewhat loosely with details of the score, but they are entirely in sync with the spirit of the piece, and it's a gripping performance. The violin part is hugely virtuosic and Kremer is breathtaking, particularly in the crystalline purity of the outrageously high harmonics that end the piece. The arrangement of Fratres for 12 cellos is an altogether more lyrical and meditative version, and the cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra play it with gorgeous tone and depth. Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten for string orchestra and bell is at once one of the composer's most brilliantly simple and profound pieces. The first violins repeat a mournful descending figure, and each of the other sections then doubles the length of the note values of the part above it so that the note that opens the piece is held two beats by the first violins, but it is sustained for 32 beats by the double basses. There's nothing mechanical sounding about the piece, though, and by its ending, it has created a mood of devastating loss and grief. The first movement of Tabula Rasa, for two violins, prepared piano, and chamber orchestra, is the most enigmatic selection, full of unexpected long silences and flurries of frenzied activity, while the lovely, meditative second movement is more characteristic of the composer. Kremer is joined by violinist Tatjana Grindenko and composer/pianist Alfred Schnittke in a beautifully expressive performance, accompanied by Saulius Sondeckis leading the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra. Produced by Manfred Eicher, the visionary who "discovered" Pärt and made it his mission to introduce him to Western audiences, the sound of the album is admirably clear and clean, except that there are some room noises in Tabula Rasa.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UX0uzwkVnzeaDkoyQhEiSgSv849-q1foLvXmRod3gPtm3CLeSh-ayd0-bz5GfVIm6n_Ns73UtHw-d995OzsC3g6QbSh37ALuklRMd-uQNsFNXn454p35zougngifg0lh_Q/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Tabula+Rasa+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UX0uzwkVnzeaDkoyQhEiSgSv849-q1foLvXmRod3gPtm3CLeSh-ayd0-bz5GfVIm6n_Ns73UtHw-d995OzsC3g6QbSh37ALuklRMd-uQNsFNXn454p35zougngifg0lh_Q/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Tabula+Rasa+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/43Tau"> Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa .</a> (281mb)<br /><br />01 Fratres 11:26<br />02 Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten 5:00<br />03 Fratres 11:51<br />04 Tabula Rasa 26:08<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Pärt's 1987 release, Arbos, shows the composer working within his medium, bringing forth a body of music sacred in sound and message and presenting new compositional techniques. Utilizing a limited palette of tones, arranged in repeating patterns, these works are often (understandably) categorized with the works of Glass, Reich, and Riley. The tonal palette is often borrowed from European medieval styles, and this, in conjunction with the liturgical subject matter, make these new compositions feel centuries old. His Pari Intervello, originally scored in 1978 for wind instruments, is here recorded for solo organ. One of his more famous pieces, Stabat Mater, is presented here -- an airy piece that floats just on the threshold of awareness. Scored for vocal trio and string trio, this is a simply beautiful piece -- very expressive and lilting. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXWqC4GrIi_oZAnn9R924zIRyP9uKdtRdV2dlKADPAPbuDAzoe-AHi6kd3gYRlK22yEBhA4fGuElfVotnCKMVjpAJ61p4dC8Ju6-MP2UbvKWFqgTxcz1Ggl5rM3LPED3S2A/s705/Arvo+Part+-+Arbos+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="705" data-original-width="702" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTXWqC4GrIi_oZAnn9R924zIRyP9uKdtRdV2dlKADPAPbuDAzoe-AHi6kd3gYRlK22yEBhA4fGuElfVotnCKMVjpAJ61p4dC8Ju6-MP2UbvKWFqgTxcz1Ggl5rM3LPED3S2A/w399-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Arbos+-.jpg" width="399" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/k5i6fsaoz"> Arvo Part - Arbos </a> ( flac 216mb)<br /><br />01 Arbos 2:25<br />02 An Den Wassern Zu Babel 6:30<br />03 Pari Intervallo 5:42<br />04 De Profundis 6:50<br />05 Es Sang Vor Langen Jahren 5:51<br />06 Summa 5:16<br />07 Arbos 2:25<br />08 Stabat Mater 23:53<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Never one to dress up his religious work in ostentatious garb, Arvo Part has selected the most severe, detached and economical musical style for this Passion according to St John. More a liturgical act than a concert piece, it makes no concessions whatever to modern conventions of Passion music. Stubbornly repetitive and monochrome, deliberately anti-dramatic and neutral, it achieves its extraordinary and noble effect through the simplest of means: measured recitative, piquant chanted choruses and the clear, bright timbres of a small instrumental ensemble.<br />The work plays for 70 minutes without a break.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ltfmtwEFsKbN-ZTL47drcjIl4kmCC_E_yQdd-a9NgYeslYNX-H1RXp97IvkuoFvhdAsQ_pDOjpx8D1IiCSL_fVELrHEhSjfDHG87TYpyrX7EkvCCdxWPRXInQuB-BFpdwg/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Passio+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5ltfmtwEFsKbN-ZTL47drcjIl4kmCC_E_yQdd-a9NgYeslYNX-H1RXp97IvkuoFvhdAsQ_pDOjpx8D1IiCSL_fVELrHEhSjfDHG87TYpyrX7EkvCCdxWPRXInQuB-BFpdwg/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Passio+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/0N4XP5XM"> Arvo Part - Passio </a> ( flac 238mb)<br /><br />01 Passio Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Secundum Joannem 70:52<br /><br /> <br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />A fine new disc in celebration of Pärt’s 75th birthday, with world premiere recordings of the Stabat mater in choral-orchestral guise and the Cantique des degrès, and the Third Symphony, a work that marked the beginning of a sea-change in the composer’s compositional style, back in 1971. The Stabat mater receives a performance that misses no nuance of its new, more dramatic trappings, but I’d urge anyone also to experience the original chamber version (the Hilliard Ensemble, ECM, 9/87). The Cantique is much more recent (1999/2002), and an intriguing example of what happens to Pärt’s music when he sets different languages, in this case French. There’s a sprightliness to the work that seems to correspond directly to that language (Poulenc?), but which frequently turns out to have Mozartian intentions. If the work sounds difficult to describe, it is.<br /><br />As for the Symphony No 3, the work’s dedicatee Neeme Jäarvi has a sure feel for the music’s disconcerting contrasts, of almost academic bicinia and heart-on-sleeve pseudo-Tchaikovsky, but I detect overall a little more warmth, a touch more flexibility and a more legato sound in this new recording. Most remarkable is the second movement, which in the Berliners’ performance runs to just over nine minutes, whereas Neeme Järvi brings it in at 6'22". I’m more convinced by the latter; the slower speed stretches it to just beyond that point at which the innate tension and relaxation of the long melodic lines is broken. But the orchestral sound is luscious and no subtlety missed: an important disc for any admirer of the composer.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wVZFGg0mEPArlJNfMf8kW85gIWS7H29FHcvv9jAP-SeUziZguv_pVxZoOCMfzQXTau19nDabOx9kvmm-qVolduWWzd53PMmc0Uf_y4rqiz6-FvetaOpioVXot0HmFB9p8A/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Symphonies+1-3%252C+etc+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0wVZFGg0mEPArlJNfMf8kW85gIWS7H29FHcvv9jAP-SeUziZguv_pVxZoOCMfzQXTau19nDabOx9kvmm-qVolduWWzd53PMmc0Uf_y4rqiz6-FvetaOpioVXot0HmFB9p8A/w400-h400/Arvo+Part+-+Symphonies+1-3%252C+etc+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/d613ca3e9d1483f014fb8dbcc502d16e"> Arvo Part - Cello concerto, Symphonies 1-3</a> ( flac 296mb)<br /><br />Concerto for Violoncello and Orchestra «Pro et contra» (1966) <br />(Neeme Jarvi, Mstislav Rostropovich) <br />01 – I Maestoso <br />02 - II Largo <br />03 –III Allegro <br /><br />04 Perpetuum Mobile, Op. 10 (1963) – <br />Frans Helmerson – cello <br /><br />Simphony No.1 (1964) <br />05 – I Canons <br />06 – II Prelude and fugue <br /><br />Simphony No.2 (1966) <br />07 First Movement <br />08 Second Movement <br />09 Third Movement <br /><br />Simphony No.3 (1971) <br />10 First Movement <br />11 Second Movement <br />12 Third Movement<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8UX0uzwkVnzeaDkoyQhEiSgSv849-q1foLvXmRod3gPtm3CLeSh-ayd0-bz5GfVIm6n_Ns73UtHw-d995OzsC3g6QbSh37ALuklRMd-uQNsFNXn454p35zougngifg0lh_Q/s712/Arvo+Part+-+Tabula+Rasa+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-68579813208809806172021-05-21T04:55:00.002+02:002021-05-21T04:57:21.820+02:00RhoDeo 2120 Grooves<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artists were an Italian Disco-Soul group, based in Bologna, founded by songwriters-producers Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi.Initially they started with guest vocalist Luther Vandross but soon after James Robinson replaced him regularly.In the same mode, Jocelyn Brown was replaced by Deborah Cooper as a main lead vocalist. .. N Joy<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Change was a studio project, masterminded by Guadaloupean business man, Jacques Fred Petrus. Petrus emerged on the late-70s disco scene with several successful outfits such as Macho, Revanche and Peter Jacques Band, all recorded with Italian musicians and New York session singers. With the arrival of the 80s, Petrus and his musical partner Mauro Malavasi moved away from the pounding disco sound into a more soulful pop-R&B-oriented sound. Together with bassist Davide Romani and guitar player Paolo Gianolio, they laid down a number of Chic-inspired grooves in Bologna, Italy, in December 1979, and took the tapes to New York to look out for suitable vocalists. They found Jocelyn Brown (at the time known as Jocelyn Shaw), already a hot session singer and lead vocalist of disco group Inner Life, and equally in-demand singer Luther Vandross. Released in April 1980, The Glow of Love soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard Disco Charts, yielding the hit singles "A Lover's Holiday / The End", "The Glow of Love / Searching". It even became Billboard's #1 Disco Album of 1980.<br /><br />The second album Miracles emerged in March 1981. Jocelyn Brown chose to focus on Inner Life, and Vandross - intended to become the official lead singer - disagreed on the fee offered by Petrus. Yet both of them continued as backing vocalists on the project alongside Ullanda McCullough, Fonzi Thornton and Kristal Davis. Vandross soon after enjoyed his first solo hit with "Never Too Much". Instead, Diva Gray and James Robinson took over the lead vocals. With the singles "Paradise" and "Hold Tight" becoming big club hits, Miracles was another smash and topped the Billboard Disco Charts while Chic - as Change was constantly compared to - ironically was far from the same heights, struggling commercially at the same time.<br /><br />When demands came in for the group to tour, Jacques Fred Petrus was unable to gather the original musicians since all of them were too busy with other projects so he assembled a tour line-up to go on the road. While James Crabs Robinson remained the male lead singer, Deborah (Debra) Cooper was brought in to do the female lead vocals, and by the third album, a real line-up for Change was finally assembled, and for the first time pictured on the album cover. Being less dance-oriented, Sharing Your Love came out in 1982 - while still yielding hit singles with "The Very Best in You" and "Hard Times", the success wasn't as overwhelming, same for This Is Your Time (1983) which also saw key songwriter Davide Romani's departure, due to financial disagreements with Petrus.<br /><br />When Malavasi and lead singer James Robinson went solo, Petrus was forced to look for new musical partners to keep Change going. The salvation came with Jam & Lewis, already with hits such as S.O.S. Band's "Just Be Good To Me" to their credit. Change of Heart was the resulting fifth album, 1984, which yielded a Top 10 R&B hit single with the title track. Unfortunately, the lucky strike didn't continue in 1985 with Turn On Your Radio, mainly written & produced by Timmy Allen. It didn't perform well, and when Petrus himself was murdered by the mafia in 1986, Change ceased to be.<br /><br />Compilations and selected CD-reissues of the original albums revived the music in the late 90s. Janet Jackson also sampled "The Glow of Love" for her 2001 hit single "All for You". Most recently, Italian Fonte Records released a 5CD box in November 2005, omitting the Change of Heart album but seeing the first CD re-issues of This Is Your Time and Turn On Your Radio.<br /><br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />On This Is Your Time Change had shown the integration of the latest synths and styles of R&B / funk. The crew from start to finish are on good form with a heavy dose of angular funk, smooth R&B, and a great exchange of male and female vocals from James Robinson and Debra Cooper along with a host of talented backing vocals. Surely for those familiar with the soul and R&B of those years can hear the influence of technology and contemporaries. While not ground breaking Change can lay down the groove and tug at the heart strings every time out and This Is Your Time is no exception.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSPJ3ehcIN5couzvhxSrsc5XtwDIGsfZrX-dW-31O_yhPytKTcbQQNhf8FgYb4MwZ4hoENQXvx8ymsKUy0LEncldXcBN8SA1qPPnvJI-3wdErk5YrBM7pxu_tusIjS15nqEQ/s712/Change+-+This+Is+Your+Time+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSPJ3ehcIN5couzvhxSrsc5XtwDIGsfZrX-dW-31O_yhPytKTcbQQNhf8FgYb4MwZ4hoENQXvx8ymsKUy0LEncldXcBN8SA1qPPnvJI-3wdErk5YrBM7pxu_tusIjS15nqEQ/w400-h400/Change+-+This+Is+Your+Time+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://mir.cr/DJIZHXE6"> Change - This Is Your Time</a> (flac 373mb)<br /><br />01 Got to Get Up 5:56<br />02 This Is Your Time 5:49<br />03 Angel 4:31<br />04 Magical Night 6:12<br />05 Stay'n Fit 5:30<br />06 Tell Me Why 5:15<br />07 You'll Never Realize 5:46<br />08 Don't Wait Another Night 5:51<br />09 Magical Night (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:06<br />10 Got to Get Up (Extended Version) [bonus track] 6:13 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Music maestros Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were responsible for this release, and what a wonderful one! Recorded in Modena, Italy and with vocals added at Media Sound Studios, NYC and at Jam & Lewis' own studio Creation Audio, Minneapolis. A classic album and a timeless effort from start to finish. _Change Of Heart_ being the first single and it managed to reach all the way to the top of the charts in May 1984. Followed by the equally impressive _You Are My Melody_ which also charted. The 3rd single was _It Burns Me Up_ also a highly regarded track and written by Timmy Allen of the group. The album was engineered by Michael H Brauer who had engineered on previous Change albums in 1980, 1981 and 1982. Jam & Lewis thought this was a good move to use him, to capture that old Change sound. And they were right of course! The album was a huge success. It's also one of the group's most loved and cherished records which does say a lot.

Often described as a weak effort, both albums are in fact better than their reputation although neither rivals the glory days of Jacques Fred Petrus' productions. Still, "Let's Go Together" ("All Right Let's Go" borrowed from the Peter Jacques Band album) is a strong selection, and ditto for "Mutual Attraction". "Oh What a Feeling" sounds a bit too much of a rip-off of their 1984 hit "Change of Heart", yet the Chic-like repetitious chant makes it work. Had these three titles, and "Turn On Your Radio", been put back to back on one album with Peter Jacques Band's "This Night", "Going Dancing Down the Street"<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQXxqpdlwBvvDWUxoqDhYbunznRAL7t7IV7a_YRqztL9ybtwHosheb1k8DiLSa5ZHMnKle52FORg72azL4yNyD8ImthZeGvtBV57NHvCHa617QMNqiJotO8qMhawJDClrBg/s712/Change+-+Turn+On+Your+Radio+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQXxqpdlwBvvDWUxoqDhYbunznRAL7t7IV7a_YRqztL9ybtwHosheb1k8DiLSa5ZHMnKle52FORg72azL4yNyD8ImthZeGvtBV57NHvCHa617QMNqiJotO8qMhawJDClrBg/w400-h400/Change+-+Turn+On+Your+Radio+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> </p><p><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/q8SuW"> Change - Turn On Your Radio </a> (flac 385mb)<br /><br />01 Turn On Your Radio 5:15<br />02 Let's Go Together 6:06<br />03 Examination 5:34<br />04 You'll Always Be a Part of Me 5:25<br />05 Oh What a Feeling 5:42<br />06 Mutual Attraction 6:00<br />07 Love the Way You Love Me 5:39<br />08 If You Want My Love 5:24<br />09 Turn On Your Radio (Single Edit) [bonus track] 3:24<br />10 Let's Go Together (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:10<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Assembled by Guadaloupean producer Jacques Fred Petrus, Peter Jacques Band emerged on the disco scene early 1979, hot on the heels of another Petrus' act, Macho, who had just enjoyed a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Dance Charts with an energetic version of The Spencer Davis Group's 60's "I'm a Man". Released on Prelude Records, Peter Jacques Band's Fire Night Dance album consisted of only four extended cuts - including the single "Walking on Music / Fly With the Wind" - and proved a club hit. While singer Leroy Burgess had sung the lead vocals on the record, it was typically of the disco era that it was a lip-sync group of nameless models who performed on TV.<br /><br />The second Peter Jacques Band album Welcome Back and the single "Is It It?" were released in the spring of 1980 and launched an all-new band line-up: Jacob Wheeler and Dianne Washington (later married to each other), Sandi Bass and Von Gretchen Shepard. Jacques Fred Petrus had cleverly taken notice of the dying disco market, and the new album focussed much more on the pop / R&B market than the club scene. While Petrus' simultaneous album with Change went straight to the top of the Billboard Dance Chart, Welcome Back went quite unnoticed and even failed to gain a release in the United States, and Petrus dropped the band.<br /><br />Surprisingly, Peter Jacques Band emerged after a five year hiatus, for the third time with an all-new personnel. Recorded simultaneously with Change's sixth (and final) album Turn On Your Radio, Dancing in the Street featured the same musical crew and was a moderate success with its italo-pop tunes ""This Night", "Going Dancin' Down the Street" and "Mexico".<br /><br />The following year, Jacques Fred Petrus was brutally murdered by the mafia. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhODqsnzKfwaPJDxnHc4Y8zhp0l2kUMpu-tvvSAdayhBqkq6LwpncaKiH6Ea6Ru_2kmpbBlE1AE4x9DkxeHipArC80pX1i9oYerHRfD8SUYTnFCn-LzhbeFVOlX2z0bHniB1w/s600/Peter+Jacques+Band+-+Dancing+In+The+Street+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhODqsnzKfwaPJDxnHc4Y8zhp0l2kUMpu-tvvSAdayhBqkq6LwpncaKiH6Ea6Ru_2kmpbBlE1AE4x9DkxeHipArC80pX1i9oYerHRfD8SUYTnFCn-LzhbeFVOlX2z0bHniB1w/w400-h400/Peter+Jacques+Band+-+Dancing+In+The+Street+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/n1kpmu34h"> Peter Jacques Band - Dancing In The Street </a> (flac 259mb)<br /><br />01 All Right Let's Go 6:27<br />02 This Night 5:43<br />03 Mexico 4:35<br />04 Everybody Have a Party 4:00<br />05 Going Dancing Down the Street 5:49<br />06 Drives Me Crazy 4:16<br />07 High Time 4:57<br />08 Don't Say You've Gotta Go 3:57 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-54373101276117688532021-05-18T04:36:00.000+02:002021-05-18T04:36:44.263+02:00RhoDeo 2120 Expanse 42<p> Hello, Nemesis Games come to an end here today, oh well the Gods had their fun and now Babylon's in Ashes not to worry we humans don't loose our hubris that easy after all we are used to celebrate ignorance..Anyway the story continues here next week.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Before Einstein created his unique theorems on relativity, deflating Newton’s theories on gravity, Nikola Tesla posited the idea that electricity and energy were responsible for almost all cosmic phenomena.

Only one type of meteorite — enstatite chondrites— was found to have properties that matched Lutetia over the full range of colours. Enstatite chondrites are known to be material that dates from the early Solar System. They are thought to have formed close to the young Sun and to have been a major building block in the formation of the rocky planets…. Lutetia seems to have originated not in the main belt of asteroids, where it is now, but much closer to the Sun. The astronomers are off and running: there are papers to be written and cited, grants to be applied for, more observation programs to be proposed, students to be taught, and … yes, press releases to be issued proclaiming the indefeasibly known. The balloon of knowledge expands; no one stops to notice that it’s full of hot air (not to be confused with plasma).<br /><br />Only ignorance (or denial) of alternative theories enables the fraud of the “known” to be passed off at the start of the race. Enstatite chondrites date “from the early Solar System” if the nebular hypothesis is true—which it isn’t—and if such ideas as the Exploded Planet Hypothesis, recent planetary catastrophism, and the existence of plasma aren’t.<br /><br />The nebular hypothesis was proposed in the late 1700s, discarded because it didn’t work, and then resurrected for lack of anything better. Diffuse clouds of gas and dust, especially if they have any net angular momentum, won’t collapse much: the increasing centrifugal force soon counteracts gravity. If the cloud is admitted to be plasma, standard theory assumes (but wrongly) that magnetic fields are “frozen” into it—and that prevents collapse. As the cloud collapses, it heats up—which tends to make it evaporate.<br /><br />But perhaps a miracle occurs and the cloud somehow collapses all the way down to Solar System dimensions. The young Sun will spin off a disk of material from which different elements and compounds will condense at different distances. This is the material from which the planets will accrete—if all the problems with getting a cloud to collapse can be overcome with another miracle in the disk.<br /><br />Since objects moving in the same or nearby orbits don’t collide (as demonstrated by the Earth-Moon system and many moons of the Jupiter and Saturn systems), another miracle is required to push them together. Perhaps something sticky coats the particles and makes them agglutinate when the impossible collisions occur.<br /><br />By making appropriate assumptions about conditions in the disk, one can prove that the inner planets formed from similar material. (Of course, with that methodology, one can prove anything one wishes.) But even that exercise in circular confirmation comes back around to bite: A footnote to the press release admits that “although they all formed from similar material, it remains a mystery why the inner three planets are so different.”<br /><br />Among other possibilities is that Lutetia is right where it was left by the explosion of or ejection from a larger body. The Solar System may not have collapsed from a cloud long ago in a theory far away from evidence; it may have assembled itself over time from processes that have a history…and may still have a future. Ejections, plasma pinches, electromagnetic captures, rearrangements of orbits, even Herbig-Haro like axial alignments may be intermittent phenomena that modern humans have overlooked because of the short time of their experience—or because they deny the testimonies of their ancient ancestors.<br /><br />Enstatite chrondites are “known” to be primordial material only if one’s knowledge is restricted to the ambit of conceit.<br /><br />Mel Acheson<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />In recent years, an incredible development has transpired in the space sciences — mainstream astronomical literature now rather routinely acknowledges the existence of electric currents in space. But the question is, how significant a role do these electric currents play in the dynamics of the Universe? In our most recent Space News, we reported on the discovery of a radio-emitting plasma filament which connects two galaxy clusters across the unfathomable distance of 10,000,000 light-years. If electric currents connect celestial objects at such vast cosmic distances, as plasma cosmologists have proposed for decades, then how might we also detect electric currents in our own celestial neighborhood?<br /><br />Today, physicist Eugene Bagashov and several colleagues are attempting to answer this question through a detailed analysis of the conditions near our solar system. In part three of this four-part presentation, Eugene continues his discussion on the evidence for plasma currents connecting our solar system with the nearby interstellar environment.<br /></p><p></p><p></p><p><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="354" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U0z7YRgBgrw" width="426" youtube-src-id="U0z7YRgBgrw"></iframe><br /> </p><p>https://youtu.be/U0z7YRgBgrw<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Nemesis Games is a 2015 science fiction novel by James S.

While Jim Holden supervises repairs to the Rocinante, he is enlisted by Monica Stuart to investigate disappearing colony ships.<br /><br />Facing collapse by the exodus of colony ships through the rings, militant factions of the OPA coalesce into a Free Navy and simultaneously wreak havoc on Earth as they try to kill the Martian Prime Minister and Fred Johnson. Amos survives the attacks on Earth, frees Clarissa Mao and escapes to Luna with her help and the help of Baltimore organized crime acquaintances from his old life. Alex meets Bobbie on Mars and they investigate missing Martian military equipment and ships, which leads them into the middle of the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Naomi is kidnapped by her ex-lover Marco, leader of the Free Navy, but manages to escape; Alex and Bobbie rescue her.<br /><br />The crew reunites on the Rocinante. What's left of the Earth, Mars and the non-militant OPA government meet on Luna. Naomi finally tells Jim about her violent past. Amos asks that Clarissa stay as his apprentice. The Free Navy has encamped past the belt and is preventing anyone from going through the rings. It is revealed that the Free Navy was sold most of its equipment by a rogue faction of the Martian Navy led by Admiral Winston Duarte and that the disappearing colony ships are being consumed by a force within the gates. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioA0-EmHVKRpJa8Ubk4z0bVCqdjxz27uroGHK_bQ1nWR8Ui0rAIUOKnrCZldTF-Jh3ZA-SD4KEKkSLSad7N91pKUL1ofo4RdDtn83BCyrYCFgfiNC9D0cVyGsV2oHWNZhK0A/s712/Nemesis+Games.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioA0-EmHVKRpJa8Ubk4z0bVCqdjxz27uroGHK_bQ1nWR8Ui0rAIUOKnrCZldTF-Jh3ZA-SD4KEKkSLSad7N91pKUL1ofo4RdDtn83BCyrYCFgfiNC9D0cVyGsV2oHWNZhK0A/w400-h400/Nemesis+Games.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/a3cddf1625d64fb651d011bec20c55b9">James S.A.

N Joy<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Change was a studio project, masterminded by Guadaloupean business man, Jacques Fred Petrus. Petrus emerged on the late-70s disco scene with several successful outfits such as Macho, Revanche and Peter Jacques Band, all recorded with Italian musicians and New York session singers. With the arrival of the 80s, Petrus and his musical partner Mauro Malavasi moved away from the pounding disco sound into a more soulful pop-R&B-oriented sound. Together with bassist Davide Romani and guitar player Paolo Gianolio, they laid down a number of Chic-inspired grooves in Bologna, Italy, in December 1979, and took the tapes to New York to look out for suitable vocalists. They found Jocelyn Brown (at the time known as Jocelyn Shaw), already a hot session singer and lead vocalist of disco group Inner Life, and equally in-demand singer Luther Vandross. Released in April 1980, The Glow of Love soared to the Top 10 on the Billboard Disco Charts, yielding the hit singles "A Lover's Holiday / The End", "The Glow of Love / Searching". It even became Billboard's #1 Disco Album of 1980.<br /><br />The second album Miracles emerged in March 1981. Jocelyn Brown chose to focus on Inner Life, and Vandross - intended to become the official lead singer - disagreed on the fee offered by Petrus. Yet both of them continued as backing vocalists on the project alongside Ullanda McCullough, Fonzi Thornton and Kristal Davis. Vandross soon after enjoyed his first solo hit with "Never Too Much". Instead, Diva Gray and James Robinson took over the lead vocals. With the singles "Paradise" and "Hold Tight" becoming big club hits, Miracles was another smash and topped the Billboard Disco Charts while Chic - as Change was constantly compared to - ironically was far from the same heights, struggling commercially at the same time.<br /><br />When demands came in for the group to tour, Jacques Fred Petrus was unable to gather the original musicians since all of them were too busy with other projects so he assembled a tour line-up to go on the road. While James Crabs Robinson remained the male lead singer, Deborah (Debra) Cooper was brought in to do the female lead vocals, and by the third album, a real line-up for Change was finally assembled, and for the first time pictured on the album cover. Being less dance-oriented, Sharing Your Love came out in 1982 - while still yielding hit singles with "The Very Best in You" and "Hard Times", the success wasn't as overwhelming, same for This Is Your Time (1983) which also saw key songwriter Davide Romani's departure, due to financial disagreements with Petrus.<br /><br />When Malavasi and lead singer James Robinson went solo, Petrus was forced to look for new musical partners to keep Change going. The salvation came with Jam & Lewis, already with hits such as S.O.S. Band's "Just Be Good To Me" to their credit. Change of Heart was the resulting fifth album, 1984, which yielded a Top 10 R&B hit single with the title track. Unfortunately, the lucky strike didn't continue in 1985 with Turn On Your Radio, mainly written & produced by Timmy Allen. It didn't perform well, and when Petrus himself was murdered by the mafia in 1986, Change ceased to be.<br /><br />Compilations and selected CD-reissues of the original albums revived the music in the late 90s. Janet Jackson also sampled "The Glow of Love" for her 2001 hit single "All for You". Most recently, Italian Fonte Records released a 5CD box in November 2005, omitting the Change of Heart album but seeing the first CD re-issues of This Is Your Time and Turn On Your Radio.<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />To Change's detractors, the studio group was nothing more than a poor man's Chic. But knowledgeable disco and R&B enthusiasts knew better; Change wasn't a carbon copy of Chic any more than jazz great Chet Baker was a clone of Miles Davis. Without question, Change was heavily influenced by the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards sound; nonetheless, Change had an energy of its own, and anyone who seriously listened to its first album, The Glow of Love, could easily tell the difference between Chic and Change (just as serious jazz fans can tell the difference between Baker's trumpet playing and Davis'). Produced by Jacques Fred Petrus and arranged by David Romani and Paolo Gianolio, this 1980 debut is a disco/R&B masterpiece. The playful opener "A Lover's Holiday" is Change's best-known song, but the group is just as captivating on the sassy "It's a Girl's Affair" and the passionate "Angel in My Pocket." Meanwhile, Luther Vandross is featured on "Searching" and the dreamy, laid-back title song, which became a quiet storm favorite and demonstrates that not everything Change recorded was aimed at the dancefloor. In 1980, Vandross had yet to provide his first solo album, although many of the people who heard his performances on those two gems agreed that a solo career was inevitable; and sure enough, his first big solo hit, "Never Too Much," came out the following year. Excellent from start to finish, The Glow of Love is Change's most essential album</p><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ifjXBSwAzM6EWt8VgY4Cpwz6C0FECOdP6N2-sZ3gEgXjL7p5_7Xka-t1dBFOD2xGtlYoMDmHmsxAb7noeo_N5MOKaDN3H07vDAhhQU8DxYQg5pbsng3-n11sfsme-wFxVw/s712/Change+-+The+Glow+Of+Love+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ifjXBSwAzM6EWt8VgY4Cpwz6C0FECOdP6N2-sZ3gEgXjL7p5_7Xka-t1dBFOD2xGtlYoMDmHmsxAb7noeo_N5MOKaDN3H07vDAhhQU8DxYQg5pbsng3-n11sfsme-wFxVw/w400-h400/Change+-+The+Glow+Of+Love+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/5ebfc4e61ef898aab28182753ff7f317"> Change - The Glow Of Love</a> (flac 410mb)<br /><br />01 A Lover's Holiday (A Jim Burgess Mix) 6:30<br />02 It's a Girl's Affair 5:32<br />03 Angel in My Pocket 6:11<br />04 The Glow of Love 6:15<br />05 Searching 8:04<br />06 The End 5:54 <br />07 A Lover's Holiday (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:14<br />08 Searchin' (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:43<br />09 The Glow of Love (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:35<br />10 Angel in My Pocket (Extended Version) [bonus track] 7:10 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Miracles was Italian dance band Change's first album without lead vocals by a pre-stardom Luther Vandross. Much ado was made about James Robinson taking over the lead vocal duties, including unfair comparisons. Lost in the discussion was the fact that Miracles is a very good album. Of course,there are strong Chic influences (they were one of the hottest acts around at the time), but taken on their own merit, Change could jam with the best of them. The chugging, thumpin' "Paradise" went to number seven R&B in spring 1981.The soul-tugging "Heaven of My Life" was the third single. Its flip side was the mellow "Miracles," a loving ode from a father to his daughter. Other highlights are the dreamy second single "Hold Tight," the smooth radio-aired "Your Move," and the sweet ballad "Stop for Love." Some 20 years later, hip-hop and rap acts Tamia sampled several cuts. Some of the LP's tracks can be found on Very Best of Change. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIk9ufd-V-sT0vgk8pextANcRdCyLGzF7OeeFAmE7zy1AAuGiy5LYa1BtX-cADgHejtgwaSWjrvo4Ei8NbKNJzjG9aiweCNic61H6SPc6wqTlDujB6OC1HShNl9QbkNXFTQ/s712/Change+-+Miracles+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIk9ufd-V-sT0vgk8pextANcRdCyLGzF7OeeFAmE7zy1AAuGiy5LYa1BtX-cADgHejtgwaSWjrvo4Ei8NbKNJzjG9aiweCNic61H6SPc6wqTlDujB6OC1HShNl9QbkNXFTQ/w400-h400/Change+-+Miracles+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/SX2Pa"> Change - Miracles </a> (flac 355mb)<br /><br />01 Paradise 5:14<br />02 Hold Tight 4:32<br />03 Your Move 4:23<br />04 Stop for Love 4:12<br />05 On Top 5:13<br />06 Heaven of My Life 5:34<br />07 Miracles 5:17<br />08 Paradise (UK Single Mix) [bonus track] 5:14<br />09 On Top (Extended Version) [bonus track] 6:00<br />10 Paradise (Single Edit) [bonus track] 3:12 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Despite the album's cover being used as the group's image on many sites, Sharing Your Love breaks the run of geometric design covers for the two albums before it and the two albums after it. It serves as a bridge between the instrument-focused Italian-American boogie, disco, and R&B of The Glow of Love and Miracles and the urban synth funk / R&B of This Is Your Time and Change of Heart. James "Crab" Robinson has a voice and delivery I have appreciated from the Petrus / Malavasi releases. He does not disappoint here. Deborah Cooper replaces Diva Grey as the primary singer. Her best is a Diana Ross-type duet with Robinson, "Everything and More". The top 2 tracks are the opener, "The Very Best in You", which is very much in the vein of previous up-tempo tracks from Miracles and the deep, bass heavy soul of the title track, "Sharing Your Love" - it's right up there with the best of Change and Petrus/Malavasi - so for me an absolute platinum track.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvD78SyQ5Xt__aar79rblEBt3-Oiz6GIvU4oGjhOB_cTlJ28wh-tJ1OpuZoMKiAJlawwGLCFoVP9YH1JtcIXoAOe6HYMKFOBgNM8r39xXHy36Tj-R_nl23YReU50FxlXdK0g/s712/Change+-+Sharing+Your+Love+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvD78SyQ5Xt__aar79rblEBt3-Oiz6GIvU4oGjhOB_cTlJ28wh-tJ1OpuZoMKiAJlawwGLCFoVP9YH1JtcIXoAOe6HYMKFOBgNM8r39xXHy36Tj-R_nl23YReU50FxlXdK0g/w400-h400/Change+-+Sharing+Your+Love+-.jpg" width="400" /></a></p><p><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/ZBOYFM51"> Change - Sharing Your Love</a> (flac min 408mb)<br /><br />01 The Very Best in You 5:41<br />02 Hard Times (It's Gonna Be Alright) 5:23<br />03 Oh What a Night 5:23<br />04 Promise Your Love 4:27<br />05 Everything and More 4:23<br />06 Sharing Your Love 6:03<br />07 Take You to Heaven 5:26<br />08 Keep on It 5:36<br />09 You're My Number 1 4:21<br />10 You're My Girl 4:08<br />11 The Very Best in You (Single Edit) [bonus track] 4:12<br />12 Hard Times (Extended Version) [bonus track] 6:12 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br /></p><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-7775184279968317642021-05-10T05:56:00.005+02:002021-05-10T22:50:47.128+02:00RhoDeo 2119 Expanse 41<p> Hello, <br /><br /> <br /><br />Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Before Einstein created his unique theorems on relativity, deflating Newton’s theories on gravity, Nikola Tesla posited the idea that electricity and energy were responsible for almost all cosmic phenomena.

Whenever X-rays are used to look inside the body, sensitive areas are shielded because the wavelengths are so energetic that they can ionize soft tissues, possibly destroying them.<br /><br />It seems that a visit to Saturn might require one to don not only a spacesuit, but one able to withstand fairly hard radiation.The plasmasphere of Saturn is an electrical environment, causing everything from dark-mode plasma discharges, to gigantic lighting bolts that flash across the ring plane. When the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft got close enough to finally start observing Saturn, planetary scientists were shocked to discover lightning of immense power, up to a million times more powerful than anything on Earth.<br /><br />However, the 90 megawatts of X-rays coming from the planet were not attributed to its electrical nature. Instead, Saturn’s atmosphere is said to reflect X-rays from the Sun, although the science team admitted when the discovery was made that the intensity of the “reflections” was “surprising.” The reason it was so surprising is that they ignored the fact that planets with magnetic fields can capture ionized particles to form a giant electrified magnetosphere. In the past, NASA scientists reported that Enceladus, a small moon that orbits within Saturn’s ring plane, causes Saturn’s magnetosphere to bend. According to the report, the effect is due to a flow of electric charge that occurs when particles from Enceladus interact with the magnetosphere of Saturn. A demonstrable electrical effect is occurring between Saturn and Enceladus.Once conventional science sees the question in electrical terms, the many puzzles with which they are confronted will become clear. The “electric Sun” is what drives the energetic phenomena on Saturn, as well as on its moon Enceladus and the other planets.<br /><br />Saturn emits more energy than it receives: 2.3 times more, so it is being powered by another source. It is also probable that the interior of the planet has its own heat. There is good evidence that Saturn once existed as an independent body from the Sun. As such, it would have received more energy in the recent past, its power source having since been usurped by the Sun. Jupiter is similar to Saturn, discharging more energy than it receives from the Sun, although Saturn’s output is greater. One speculation is that super-cooled helium fell out of the atmosphere during Saturn’s formation. The resulting kinetic energy might have warmed up the core. However, the evidence suggests that Saturn was once of greater stature, but has subsequently been dethroned. According to ancient legends, Saturn occupied a position of prominence in the sky. It was not the tiny pinprick of light that can be seen on dark nights. Rather, it was worshipped as the central luminary, the all-powerful Sun. If that was the case, then its current position in the Solar System is far removed from what it was. Without going into details that are elaborated elsewhere, that disturbance and rearrangement of planets means that Saturn is the way it is not because of how it was conventionally formed, but because it is closer to being a star than it is to being a planet. Indeed, as our ancestors tell us, it was a star.<br /><br />Stephen Smith<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />A new scientific paper provides stunning affirmation of one of the most striking predictions of the Electric Universe/catastrophist hypothesis. The paper, published in the Journal Icarus, reports that the water on Saturn’s moons and in its rings is remarkably similar to water on our own planet, a completely unexpected finding for planetary scientists. <br /><br />As surprising as this connection between Saturn and Earth is for planetary scientists, the connection was in fact explicitly predicted by one of the great scientific heretics of the 20th century. Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky proposed that within human memory, a period of chaos reigned in the inner solar system. In this scenario, one of the migrating planets was Saturn, and it was Velikovsky’s seemingly outrageous thesis that the water in Earth’s oceans came from the gas giant.<br /><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="362" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UkPpR8t1qvk" width="436" youtube-src-id="UkPpR8t1qvk"></iframe></div><br />https://youtu.be/UkPpR8t1qvk<br /><br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Nemesis Games is a 2015 science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the fifth book in their The Expanse series. It is the sequel to Cibola Burn. The cover art is by Daniel Dociu.[Nemesis Games received positive reviews. Andrew Liptak of io9 called the novel "Corey’s 'Empire Strikes Back'".<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />The Rocinante is down for long-term maintenance after the events of Cibola Burn. Three crew members decide to take care of some personal business during the down time. Amos Burton heads to Earth when he learns someone important from his past there has died, to pay his respects and to make sure no foul play was involved. Alex Kamal heads to Mars in the hopes of getting closure with his ex-wife and to see Bobbie while there. Naomi Nagata heads to Ceres station, when she receives a message that her son Filip is in trouble. While Jim Holden supervises repairs to the Rocinante, he is enlisted by Monica Stuart to investigate disappearing colony ships.<br /><br />Facing collapse by the exodus of colony ships through the rings, militant factions of the OPA coalesce into a Free Navy and simultaneously wreak havoc on Earth as they try to kill the Martian Prime Minister and Fred Johnson. Amos survives the attacks on Earth, frees Clarissa Mao and escapes to Luna with her help and the help of Baltimore organized crime acquaintances from his old life. Alex meets Bobbie on Mars and they investigate missing Martian military equipment and ships, which leads them into the middle of the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Naomi is kidnapped by her ex-lover Marco, leader of the Free Navy, but manages to escape; Alex and Bobbie rescue her.<br /><br />The crew reunites on the Rocinante. What's left of the Earth, Mars and the non-militant OPA government meet on Luna. Naomi finally tells Jim about her violent past. Amos asks that Clarissa stay as his apprentice. The Free Navy has encamped past the belt and is preventing anyone from going through the rings. It is revealed that the Free Navy was sold most of its equipment by a rogue faction of the Martian Navy led by Admiral Winston Duarte and that the disappearing colony ships are being consumed by a force within the gates. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7eqDOut_E2MzlY13aFtJX-agAQF6J8QSWh0j9zJK7yDJOAdDdDAWlRPy3lPPgfMfKoFCd8JFPO4EHGIP03IGRqWYtDMUxRIApN3knvVJ_rtN2aIYqwLxhU1Hb73ym_ZhJw/s712/Nemesis+Games.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB7eqDOut_E2MzlY13aFtJX-agAQF6J8QSWh0j9zJK7yDJOAdDdDAWlRPy3lPPgfMfKoFCd8JFPO4EHGIP03IGRqWYtDMUxRIApN3knvVJ_rtN2aIYqwLxhU1Hb73ym_ZhJw/w400-h400/Nemesis+Games.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/758da9c4e04ad980dd8b6ee7d9f48d94">James S.A.

He is a member of the music groups Diamond Version with Olaf Bender (Byetone), Signal with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, Cyclo with Ryoji Ikeda, ANBB with Blixa Bargeld, ALPHABET with Anne-James Chaton. Opto with Thomas Knak, and Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto with whom he composed the score for the 2015 film The Revenant. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Carsten Nicolai, born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. He is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. In his work he seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man by making scientific phenomenons like sound and light frequencies perceivable for both eyes and ears. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematic patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, random and self-organizing structures. His installations have a minimalistic aesthetic that by its elegance and consistency is highly intriguing. After his participation in important international exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />His artistic œuvre echoes in his work as a musician. For his musical outputs he uses the pseudonym Alva Noto. With a strong adherence to reductionism he leads his sound experiments into the field of electronic music creating his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols. Together with Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider he is co-founder of the label 'raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton'. Diverse musical projects include remarkable collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ryoji Ikeda (cyclo.), Blixa Bargeld or Mika Vainio. Nicolai toured extensively as Alva Noto through Europe, Asia, South America and the US. Among others, he performed at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou in Paris and Tate Modern in London. Most recently Nicolai scored the music for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s newest film, 'The Revenant' which has been nominated for a Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Critics Choice Award.<br /><br />biography<br />lives and works in Berlin and Chemnitz, Germany<br />1965 born in Karl-Marx-Stadt, GDR<br />1985-90 Study of landscape architecture.

The album, which pairs Chaton's vocals with Nicolai's techno and experimental beats, is inspired by Etymologiae, an etymological encyclopedia compiled by the Spanish scholar Isidore Of Seville in the seventh century. ALPHABET spans 13 tracks, it explores the combinatorics between signs on one side and signals on the other. The performance, inspired by the Etymologies of Isidore of Seville twisting the scientific rigor to privilege phonetic acquaintances, revisits the strategies of representation invented by the man to tell the world around him in the digital age. Alphabet invites the spectator to immerse themselves in the multiple relationships that, through language and its digital translations, maintain words and things.<br />After many collaborations this new record by Anne-James Chaton and Carsten Nicolai aka Alva Noto speaks a new language, generated by the fusion of objective poetry and minimal music. From the dialogue of the graph and the glitch a poetics of the code is born from which arises a representation of the contemporary world.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMeceAzcsMguhgE4OmssdBBZi3b4HpMv_xWgBA48kTDQXJk4pd6ZZlemD31hE2X3sdvc1I7SQ5xsEt2puJQJ7ZKLTdVOEvHnbcKqS68G9iBjSIOTiIotpIl4mNBcHQWuHpg/s712/Alva+Noto+%2526+Anne-James+Chaton+-++Alphabet+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEMeceAzcsMguhgE4OmssdBBZi3b4HpMv_xWgBA48kTDQXJk4pd6ZZlemD31hE2X3sdvc1I7SQ5xsEt2puJQJ7ZKLTdVOEvHnbcKqS68G9iBjSIOTiIotpIl4mNBcHQWuHpg/w400-h400/Alva+Noto+%2526+Anne-James+Chaton+-++Alphabet+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/07IZFLQP"> Alva Noto & Anne-James Chaton - Alphabet .</a> (281mb)<br /><br />01 A-Bu -> Bug -> Bu-Cr 5:57<br />02 Crime 2:38<br />03 Cr-Fo 4:22<br />04 Fou 2:11<br />05 Fo-Lu 4:14<br />06 Lune 2:22<br />07 Lu-No 3:13<br />08 Note 3:16<br />09 No-Qu 5:45<br />10 Quellie partie! 2:49<br />11 Qu-So 3:44<br />12 Sonnet 4:40<br />13 So-Zou 6:43 <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto share recordings of their show at Sydney Opera House in 2018, yielding 80 minutes of sublime, glassy electronics; minimal but full of that light-handed emotive brilliance Sakamoto seems to always supply so generously, and with such little effort. Gorgeous, moving music.“Last year the duo undertook a series of live events entitled ‘TWO’ at Berlin’s Funkhaus, Barcelona’s Theatre Grec (closing Sonar Festival’s 25th Anniversary), London’s Barbican Centre and Melbourne’s Hammer Hall, before culminating at Sydney Opera House, where their two hour set was recorded and edited down, forming this album.<br /><br />“Sharing a deep simpatico synergy, Alva Noto’s abstract electronic formalism contrasts and compliments Sakamoto’s exquisitely elegant piano finesse, which incorporates an individualistic take on classical, contemporary, minimalism and even a touch of jazz. At points melodic, atmospheric, gently rhythmic, textural and spatial, audio headspaces range from intimate and serene womb-like flotation, infinite fathoms of dark metaphysical expanse and moments of devastatingly poignant beauty. The sparing, subtle use of parts populating the mix belies a deceptively effective whole, which indicates two masters’ skill and confidence in being able to say something profound with an intentionally restricted sonic vocabulary. At all times the album maintains a calm poise, and despite its improvised nature withholds an innate harmony and graceful order. Like two aural architects free-drawing, this is sound design for better living.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeetPy3TVu8FV42bZr6N3mH1T17yxOxLD_SGTVzoFOV_z2FO9BVJQO_Pu6ipTK9zFBaG6QcFX8fsxzUkWDZvuit0svMLYyinnCTvkR520rK-9fFg3-cTepWtZKPNttnn5sg/s712/Alva+Noto+and+Ryuichi+Sakamoto+-+TWO+-.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeetPy3TVu8FV42bZr6N3mH1T17yxOxLD_SGTVzoFOV_z2FO9BVJQO_Pu6ipTK9zFBaG6QcFX8fsxzUkWDZvuit0svMLYyinnCTvkR520rK-9fFg3-cTepWtZKPNttnn5sg/w400-h400/Alva+Noto+and+Ryuichi+Sakamoto+-+TWO+-.png" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/dc30c7d288f07b59cb15040fb90428e3"> Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto - TWO.

Due to the inherent fallacy of the procedure involving the making of copies made from other copies, everyday’s sounds become so altered that they can be hardly associated with the source material. As a result, entirely new sounds are created: copies of originals become originals themselves.<br /><br />Following Xerrox Vol. 1 (2007), Vol. 2 (2009) and Vol. 3 (2015), Carsten Nicolai continues the pentalogy eluding the accuracy and precise sound design for which he’s renowned, and turning to a more harmony-driven composition technique.<br />Unlike the previous Xerrox albums, whose starting point is a set of samples extracted from external sources and fragments of recordings, Vol. 4 compounds under a unified cinematic soundscape, warm chords, thrumming digital ambiences, liquified electronics, drones, and noise sustained by floods of strings. The tension between the organic warmth and static curves, broads tones into distant roars and electronic cascade of sounds. While Alva Noto's oeuvre is predominantly affiliated with pristine sound design, Xerrox holds more intimate gestures and emotional sensibility. This fourth volume shuns further from the conceptualism and orderliness of prior musical outputs, ranging from heart-warming elegies to mind-bending sci-fi projections in extrasolar territories.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0A2IlZft9HZhQG5pd35qh8NI65XdCXMZewQD6v_xMN4E4pvZqd4HxymujERiD0tNjvclRlw6_4QQuWFcalAPC4p-oapIvEmbZwKSVnAF2AU4Sl2pF6wmgWpunu-Qw9fOxgA/s712/Alva+Noto+-+Xerrox+Vol.+4+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0A2IlZft9HZhQG5pd35qh8NI65XdCXMZewQD6v_xMN4E4pvZqd4HxymujERiD0tNjvclRlw6_4QQuWFcalAPC4p-oapIvEmbZwKSVnAF2AU4Sl2pF6wmgWpunu-Qw9fOxgA/w400-h400/Alva+Noto+-+Xerrox+Vol.+4+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/download/cee8e38586ee5e9f055c5bc8c6ebf19c/Alv%20Nt%20Xrx%204.zip"> Alva Noto - Xerrox Vol. 4 </a> ( flac 340mb)<br /><br />01 Xerrox Kirlian 6:12<br />02 Xerrox neige 4:55<br />03 Xerrox voyage 3:50<br />04 Xerrox plongée 5:36<br />05 Xerrox Cosmos 3:52<br />06 Xerrox île 6:24<br />07 Xerrox Argo 5:32<br />08 Xerrox Calypsoid 1 4:32<br />09 Xerrox canaux 4:13<br />10 Xerrox Utopia 3:06<br />11 Xerrox sans retour 4:23<br />12 Xerrox Calypsoid 2 11:06<br />13 Xerrox apesanteur 4:32<br />14 Xerrox néant 2:54 <br /><br /> <br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Featuring reworks by Fatima Al Qadiri, Ben Frost, JASSS, Florian Kupfer, Luis Da Silva, the EP includes 5 remixes of Uni Blue, Uni Sub, Uni Normal, taken from Alva Noto’s last solo-album released in March last year.<br /><br />A new edition in the Uni series – started when Alva Noto was booked to play live at the club UNIT in Tokyo – UNIEQAV is an outlet for his more rhythmic and dancefloor-oriented work.

Despite the seemingly archaic practice of functioning as a rap band with several instrumentalists -- from 2007 onward, their lineup even featured a sousaphonist -- they were ceaselessly creative, whether with their own material or through their varied assortment of collaborations. They went platinum and gold with successive studio releases and won a handful of Grammy Awards. After they gained a nightly nationwide audience through a close partnership with television host Jimmy Fallon, they continued to challenge listeners with works free of genre restrictions..

Playing around school, on the sidewalk, and later at talent shows (with ?uestlove's drum kit backing Black Thought's rhymes), the pair began to earn money and hooked up with bassist Hub (Leon Hubbard) and rapper Malik B. Moving from the street to local clubs, the Roots became a highly tipped underground act around Philadelphia and New York. When they were invited to represent stateside hip-hop at a concert in Germany, the Roots recorded an album to sell at shows; the result, Organix, was released in May 1993 on Remedy Records. With a music industry buzz surrounding their activities, the Roots entertained offers from several labels before signing with DGC that same year.<br /><br />Do You Want More?!!!??! The Roots' first major-label album, Do You Want More?!!!??!, was released in January 1995. Forsaking usual hip-hop protocol, the record was produced without any samples or previously recorded material. It peaked just outside the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 and made more tracks in alternative circles, partly due to the Roots playing the second stage at Lollapalooza that summer. The band also journeyed to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Two of the guests on the album who had toured around with the band, human beatbox Rahzel the Godfather of Noyze -- previously a performer with Grandmaster Flash and LL Cool J -- and Scott Storch (later replaced by Kamal Gray), became permanent members of the group.<br /><br />Illadelph Halflife Early in 1996, the Roots released "Clones," the trailer single for their second album. It hit the rap Top Five, and created a good buzz. That September, Illadelph Halflife appeared and made number 21 on the Billboard 200. Much like its predecessor, though, the Roots' second LP was a difficult listen. It made several very small concessions to mainstream rap -- the bandmembers sampled material that they had recorded earlier at jam sessions -- but failed to make a hit of their unique sound. Their third album, February 1999's Things Fall Apart, was easily their biggest critical and commercial success. Released on MCA, it went platinum, and "You Got Me" -- a collaboration with Erykah Badu -- peaked within the Top 40 and subsequently won a Grammy in the category of Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.<br /><br />Phrenology The long-awaited Phrenology was released in November 2002 amid rumors of the Roots losing interest in their label arrangements with MCA. In 2004, the band remedied the situation by creating the Okayplayer company. Named after their website, Okayplayer included a record label and a production/promotion company. The same year, the band held a series of jam sessions to give their next album a looser feel. The results were edited down to ten tracks and released in July 2004 as The Tipping Point, supported by Geffen. A 2004 concert from Manhattan's Webster Hall with special guests like Mobb Deep, Young Gunz, and Jean Grae was issued in February 2005 as The Roots Present in both CD and DVD formats. Two volumes of the rarities-collecting Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots appeared at the end of the year.<br /><br />Game Theory A subsequent deal with Def Jam fostered a series of riveting, often grim sets, beginning with Game Theory (August 2006) and Rising Down (April 2008). In 2009, the group expanded their reach as the exceptionally versatile house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The new gig didn't slow their recording schedule; in 2010 alone, they released the sharp How I Got Over (June), as well as Wake Up! (September), where they backed John Legend on covers of socially relevant soul classics like Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody" and Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy." It earned Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. As they remained with Fallon, the Roots worked with Miami soul legend Betty Wright on November 2011's Betty Wright: The Movie, and followed it the next month with their 13th studio long-player, Undun, an ambitious concept album whose main character dies in the first track and then follows his life backward.<br /><br />Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs Work on the group's next studio LP was postponed as an unexpected duet album with Elvis Costello took priority for the group in 2013. Originally planned as a reinterpretation of Costello's songbook, the record Wise Up Ghost turned into a full-fledged collaboration and was greeted by positive reviews upon its September 2013 release on Blue Note. Within six months, the band joined Jimmy Fallon in his new late-night slot, the high-profile Tonight Show program. Another concept album, the brief but deep ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, was released in May 2014. Rapper Malik B., a fixture on the Roots' early albums, died on July 29, 2020, at the age of 47.<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />It would've been easy for the Roots to sell out. Already one of the few groups whose fans extend beyond the typical alternative rap base, tacking on the acoustic-guitary pop-rap song "Birthday Girl" -- which leaked the month before Rising Down's release and features Patrick Stump crooning "What is it we want to do, now that I'm allowed to be alone with you?" -- could've been a natural, and maybe even excusable move. Excusable as a way to show that the Roots can be lighthearted, fun, and tongue-in-cheek (though anyone who's heard any of their interviews or has frequented ?uestlove's blog already knows this to be true); not excusable, however, as the crossover track the label wanted it to be (and in fact, in Japan and Europe, as well as digitally, it remains as such). Fortunately, the Roots were smart and thoughtful enough -- the very qualities of whose criticism led to the creation of "Birthday Girl" -- to realize that its inclusion, even as an afterthought, a bonus track, was detrimental to the effect of the entire album, dumbing down their thoughts on poverty and race and politics with poppy melodies and creepy (albeit ironic) jokes about statutory rape and predatory old men.<br /><br />Because as it stands, Rising Down acts as a powerful statement on contemporary society, a society in which even though the specific issues may have changed (global warming, BET, new technologies), the problems remain the same. For this reason the album begins and ends with a discussion from 1994, where Black Thought and ?uestlove are arguing about then-label Geffen with their managers, and other bits of the past are also spread throughout -- the 1987 freestyle "@15," which complements "75 Bars (Black's Reconstruction)," the reflection found in "Unwritten" and especially in the cover itself, which nods to the crude caricatures from early America, the black devil wreaking havoc on the white pilgrims below. But it is these very reminders that make the Roots and their message in 2008 so much more relevant: they give context. So when Black Thought says "It is what it is, because of what it was/I did what I did 'cause it does what it does" in "Criminal," he's not just looking as his character's current situation, he's drawing from history, and his conclusions are based upon lifetimes of "it being it" and "doing what it does," of struggling and fighting and trying to get by, to make it however he can.<br /><br />These same thoughts are echoed by the Roots' MC and the myriad talented guests who add their own equally hard-hitting verses to the album's tracks. "My life is on a flight that's going down/My mother had an abortion for the wrong child/...I felt love, that's gone now" Porn rhymes in the disquieting "I Can't Help It" (the other rappers on the song tackle ideas of chemical and monetary addictions), while on "Singing Man," the dark, reticent production gurgles with the pain and anger heard and stated more overtly in the three MCs' voices (Porn, Black Thought, and Truck North) as they present the sympathetic -- but not condoning -- perspectives of suicide bombers and campus shooters and child soldiers. It's dark and serious and intense, but Rising Down does offer hope, too, mostly in the form of the closing track, "Rising Up," which features Def Jam backing vocals queen Chrisette Michele, D.C. upstart Wale, and a Jay-Z-friendly beat. "We 'bout to dominate the world like Oprah did it," Black Thought says to end the song, an optimism that's far more powerful than anything "Birthday Girl" can provide. Those words, confident but not cocky, are the final punctuation -- an ellipsis, though, leading to a yet-completed thought -- on an album that's both revelatory and full of questions, an album that understands its spot in the Roots' history and American history, and an album that continues to place the group as one of the country's most talented and relevant in any genre, no calculated crossover necessary.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqO4Ht9MHuY_XFY2A3-B3JkNXVqosefJg_qEE1EaaNOxIIdhz-RFPSkxfgjr6n7QhKEm49cG_OTsr_uzJRTWpJWnX8jgoNkF9QkNW9gsldl2NhTitCSs1SMpBniFYMW3dKVA/s712/The+Roots+-+Rising+Down+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqO4Ht9MHuY_XFY2A3-B3JkNXVqosefJg_qEE1EaaNOxIIdhz-RFPSkxfgjr6n7QhKEm49cG_OTsr_uzJRTWpJWnX8jgoNkF9QkNW9gsldl2NhTitCSs1SMpBniFYMW3dKVA/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Rising+Down+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/66e152fa90cb2a9a50d2cdbccecb501d"> The Roots - Rising Down</a> (flac 352mb)<br /><br />01 The Pow Wow 1:15<br />02 Rising Down 3:40<br />03 Get Busy 3:29<br />04 @ 15 0:51<br />05 75 Bars (Black’s Reconstruction) 3:15<br />06 Becoming Unwritten 0:36<br />07 Criminal 4:08<br />08 I Will Not Apologize 4:34<br />09 I Can’t Help It 4:39<br />10 Singing Man 4:07<br />11 Unwritten 1:22<br />12 Lost Desire 3:58<br />13 The Show 3:44<br />14 Rising Up 4:19<br />15 Birthday Girl (ft.

There's nothing light, happy, or chipper about How I Got Over. Actually, the subject matter is here is quite depressing. Black Thought and company talk about the adversity they are going through in life and their strive to rise above it. The first part of the album has Black Thought at rock bottom and he climbs further and further up as the album goes on. By the end of the album, he has found a new sense of determination and a refusal to surrender to his demons. See, he got over....get it? Hyuck hyuck hyuck.....uhhh, let's move on. The criticism that Black Thought sounds lazy here doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Considering the depressing concept and subject matter of this album, Black Thought's energy here is a perfect fit. Black Thought in Phrenology or Illadelph Halflife mode on an album like this would sound fucked up in twenty different ways and just wouldn't make any sense. I wouldn't call this my favorite Black Thought performance, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with his rapping here. I also really enjoyed the guests here too. After listening to Phonte's verses, I have to ask why the hell he wants to give up rapping. Peedi Peedi was excellent as well. This Sugar Tongue Slim dude is new to me, but I enjoyed him here. For me though, the standout guest is Blu. He was incredibly nice here. And finally, Dice Raw's singing. Unsurprisingly, he doesn't sing as good as he raps. They made his singing kinda work, but he shouldn't give up rapping anytime soon. <br /><br />The sound that ?uestlove and crew decided to go with for How I Got Over is a much more mellow sound (especially compared to Rising Down) that's really easy to digest. This is the most mellow that the Roots have ever been. But in order to keep things from getting too mellow, ?uestlove hits you with super crisp drumming throughout the album. Again, on the kind of album they strived to make this, production like this fits perfectly. And besides that, the production in its own right is damn good. The kind of production the Roots cooked up is really pleasant and made me feel good by the end of the album. And finally, those sung hooks. When it comes to hooks, I'm indifferent to them 80% of the time. I admit that hooks sometimes make or break songs for me, but more often than not I take them as a break between verse than as a super important part of a song (whether sung, scratched, chanted, or whatever). As far as these hooks are concerned, not only did they not break the songs, they added to the pleasant feeling I got from this album. I wouldn't want How I Got Over without those hooks, despite Dice Raw's less than pefect singing and Joanna Newsom's weird ass voice. <br /><br />There's pretty much nothing wrong with How I Got Over. It's a very pleasant album that's beautifully conceived/sequenced that doesn't demand a lot of your time. However, it doesn't get a perfect score because it lacks that certain punch (and by punch I don't mean energy) that almost every other Roots album has that propels them into classic territory. Besides Roots fans, I don't know which other hip-hop demographic this would appeal to. The mellow sound of this album isn't comparable to any other "mellow" or "smooth" hip-hop album I can think of. Yet another excellent album from the best hip-hop group in existance (yeah yeah, I'm jockin' these guys real bad, but I don't care!). Can't wait to see what they do for album #10! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB__n2nW_8YWgoKybr-mLjSCL8xnVJvYbuM43ubxElWRD9T0AIUQZV-RRfgmbsLT-dNPUwSP9Vji3kGjIdTvUNj8aAS17Dhh93vd8UdJgnASemX-1nCWv8Id76ytwNQYd5ew/s712/The+Roots+-+How+I+Got+Over+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB__n2nW_8YWgoKybr-mLjSCL8xnVJvYbuM43ubxElWRD9T0AIUQZV-RRfgmbsLT-dNPUwSP9Vji3kGjIdTvUNj8aAS17Dhh93vd8UdJgnASemX-1nCWv8Id76ytwNQYd5ew/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+How+I+Got+Over+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/g2jkS"> The Roots - How I Got Over </a> 276mb (flac 10)<br /><br />01 A Peace of Light 1:50<br />02 Walk Alone 3:54<br />03 Dear God 2.0 3:51<br />04 Radio Daze 4:16<br />05 Now or Never 4:34<br />06 How I Got Over 3:33<br />07 DillaTUDE: The Flight of Titus 0:42<br />08 The Day 3:44<br />09 Right On 3:36<br />10 Doin' It Again 2:23<br />11 The Fire 3:41<br />12 Tunnel Vision 0:40<br />13 Web 20/20 2:46<br />14 Hustla [bonus track] 2:56<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Wake Up!’s success comes from its reinterpretation of politically-charged soul songs throughout the 1960s and 1970s. If any band in the world is going to take up a project like this and succeed beyond anyone’s expectations, it is going be the Roots. And they do succeed. Oh yeah, and having John Legend’s voice on-hand only helps recreate a neo-soul album for the 21st century.<br /><br />The album begins with a demand to do exactly that—announcing the “Hard Times” we live in today, just as we lived in when Baby Huey and the Babysitters included it on their 1971 album. John Legend and the Roots forces us to pay attention, through the aid of the aggressive horns and the incredibly catchy drum-snaps by ?uestlove. Legend plays to his soulful, emotive vocal strengths in the second track, “Compared to What.” The Roots add fantastic descending horns and a sick rhythm section led by a sick bass line (via Owen Biddle I assume) that tie the song together neatly. “Wake Up Everybody” sounds time-appropriate in its instrumentation—less of a reinterpretation and less of an attempt to make contemporary—but works well as a reminder of the album’s intent, of looking back to remember the fire we felt in the 1960s and 1970s when soul was at its heyday and people in music were more interested in making a difference than making a paycheck.<br /><br />Black Thought’s lack of inclusion on the album hurts it a bit. Even though I enjoy John Legend on this record, the Roots would have played more to their strengths if they had Black Thought giving us a few more of his verses. His political lyrics fit the project like a glove[ii] and Wake Up!’s ambition could have been fulfilled more completely if Black Thought added his own ideas to these classic soul covers, making them feel even more 21st century hip-hop than they already are on Wake Up! More hip-hop would have worked well—it does on “Little Ghetto Boy,” “Hard Times,” and Common’s verse on “Wake Up Everybody.” Songs like the Marvin Gaye cover “Wholly Holy” might have been more exciting listens with Black Thought manning some vocal duties. At the very least, when Black Thought is on the album, he is on. ?uestlove’s hip-hop style drumming also really invigorates the album with the neo-soul it has when it is at its best.<br /><br />John Legend’s best vocal performance comes on the incredibly funky “Hang on in There,” which provides a fantastic-in-its-repetition string section harkening the old styles of song-writing. I’m surprised when John Legend throws the falsetto in on the reggae-style of “Humanity (Love the Way it Should Be)” and it works—it works very well! None of us should be surprised because Legend is an incredibly talented singer, but the aesthetic is different on this song than it is on the rest of the album. “Humanity” contains less soul and more Caribbean, though no less soul when it comes to feeling on this Lincoln Thompson cover.<br /><br />The duo of Bill Withers’ “I Can’t Write Left Handed” and Nina Simone’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free” are an interesting one-two punch of epic-length guitar solos and guitar gospel-flavored pop. Captain Kirk Douglass plays the best guitar of his career thus far on the prior track, while the latter has Legend playing to his strengths in the Nina Simone cover. These two songs are the strongest tracks on the entire album, and should be considered for many musiczines’ end-year list for best covers, or better yet, best songs. They fell true, and contain that punch political songs should have.<br /><br />“Shine,” a John Legend original, ends the album. The song is fairly strong, but it acts as-is as more of a second epilogue after the upbeat and stronger track in “I Wish I knew How It Would Feel to Be Free.” Maybe “Shine” would have been better somewhere in the middle of the track listing, kind of how Bob Dylan snuck original material in his cover-heavy debut album. This suggestion comes because though “Shine” is a strong song, it doesn’t necessarily end things on a high point, which “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT02rgnH81iDIODydOpqrcnYBMQ5LR3DLQLI8qF4cWUusT_QF8-Xm-TPviMSHQZibBqYb-49pT8hcFS8Io3n7_C8G_zyIhwaeA3ddQ_YnHFwPk_ixQZ_Kysd8IiFJ5ZKPXOg/s712/The+Roots+-+Wake+Up%2521+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT02rgnH81iDIODydOpqrcnYBMQ5LR3DLQLI8qF4cWUusT_QF8-Xm-TPviMSHQZibBqYb-49pT8hcFS8Io3n7_C8G_zyIhwaeA3ddQ_YnHFwPk_ixQZ_Kysd8IiFJ5ZKPXOg/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Wake+Up%2521+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/bbe54e124fed649f5bb8f142b3295543"> John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up! </a> (flac min 437mb)<br /><br />01 Hard Times 5:16<br />02 Compared to What 6:27<br />03 Wake Up Everybody 4:25<br />04 Our Generation (The Hope of the World) 3:16<br />05 Little Ghetto Boy (Prelude) 1:59<br />06 Little Ghetto Boy 5:26<br />07 Hang on in There 7:15<br />08 Humanity (Love the Way It Should Be) 3:49<br />09 Wholy Holy 5:50<br />10 I Can't Write Left Handed 11:54<br />11I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free 2:43<br />12 Shine 4:44<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />The Roots' umpteenth album is titled after a Guess Who song mutilated by countless lounge bands since 1969. It incorporates a Sufjan Stevens recording, mixtape-style, for the purpose of starting a four-part instrumental suite that closes a program lasting only 40 minutes. Based on those details, it would not be irrational to think that the band’s well of inspiration might be dry or tainted. While the well might be slightly tainted, it is full. Undun is based on the life of Redford Stephens, a fictional product of inner-city New York who was born in the mid-‘70s and tragically passed in 1999, the point at which the album begins -- with a quiet EKG flatline. Appearances from MCs Big K.R.I.T., Dice Raw, Phonte, Greg Porn, and Truck North, as well as contributions by singers Aaron Earl Livingston and Bilal, flank principal voice Black Thought, yet this is no hip-hop opera or anything close to a typical concept album. The existential rhymes, seemingly created with a shared vision, avoid outlining specific events and focus on ruminations that are grave and penetrating, as if each vocalist saw elements of himself and those he has known in Redford. What’s more, Undun probably shatters the record for fewest proper nouns on a rap album, with the likes of Hammurabi, Santa Muerte, and Walter Cronkite mentioned rather than the names of those who are physically involved in Stephens’ life. (The album’s app, filled with video clips and interviews with Stephens’ aunt, teachers, and peers, provides much more typical biographical information.) Musically, Undun flows easier and slower than any other Roots album. The backdrops ramp up with slight gradations, from soft collisions of percussion and keys (“Sleep”), to balmy gospel-soul (“Make My”), to Sunday boom-bap (“One Time”). There's a slight drop into sinewy funk (“Kool On”) that leads into a sustained stretch of stern, hunched-shoulder productions, highlighted by the crisply roiling “Lighthouse,” that match the cold realism of the lyrics. The strings in the slightly wistful “I Remember” and completely grim “Tip the Scale” are a setup for the Redford suite, which is nothing like padding. It glides through the movements, involving mournful strings, a violent duel between drummer ?uestlove and guest pianist D.D. Jackson, and a lone death note that fades 37 seconds prior to silence. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2_b_c4PQ6men5pWRh_LhKdWyzEHbVxJQiaWG0vrz3E6D72HTT_y-XOChfV6_jBXocHXeH-1-1o7rOno_CnncJHrpDfx7pm5oL_PA2GG8rEpo6pwdFthyphenhyphenwqcXyyfkuK7IpQ/s712/The+Roots+-+Undun+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc2_b_c4PQ6men5pWRh_LhKdWyzEHbVxJQiaWG0vrz3E6D72HTT_y-XOChfV6_jBXocHXeH-1-1o7rOno_CnncJHrpDfx7pm5oL_PA2GG8rEpo6pwdFthyphenhyphenwqcXyyfkuK7IpQ/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Undun+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://mir.cr/HKTR6JHH"> The Roots - Undun </a> (flac 242mb)<br /><br />1 Dun 1:17<br />2 Sleep 2:16<br />3 Make My 4:27<br />4 One Time 3:56<br />5 Kool On 3:49<br />6 The OtherSide 4:03<br />7 Stomp 2:23<br />8 Lighthouse 3:44<br />9 I Remember 3:15<br />10 Tip the Scale 4:18<br />Redford Suite<br />11 Redford (For Yia-Yia & Pappou) 1:52<br />12 Possibility (2nd Movement) 0:55<br />13 Will to Power (3rd Movement) 1:04<br />14 Finality (4th Movement) 1:31<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Roots album graced by a Romare Bearden collage is less than half the length of each studio set the group released from 1995 through 2002. It might be the one that requires the most deep listening to absorb. Part of that can be attributed to the array of voices, or characters -- the widest variety of Roots guests yet. Given that, as well as the collage-like insertion of three preexisting recordings, Framed as conceptual, it's an examination of self-destructive cycles with materialism, god, and the devil all factors as much as any of the instrumentalists. In a way, it's one facet of the Roots in severely concentrated form. Black Thought, as ever, sharply portrays a man trying to make the most out of suffocating circumstances. He enters on the creeping dread of "Never," a song that also features Patty Crash in singing Talky Tina mode, with "I was born faceless in a oasis/Folks disappear here and leave no traces." On the following "When the People Cheer," he's even more penetrating and provocative, "Searchin' for physical pleasure if I don't go mental first." Those songs, along with the harder-hitting "Black Rock" and "Understand," are child's play relative to what follows. The album pivots on a jarring minute-length extract from experimental composer Michel Chion's "Requiem." Then, a chilling piano-and-strings ballad fronted by Mercedes Martinez stammers and slips into chaos. Over casually tense drums and piano, "The Dark (Trinity)" involves Black Thought, Dice Raw, and Greg Porn, who blur the line between boastful and despondent; Dice Raw's verse, where he wonders how he went from lusting after Jordans to wanting one of his "bitches" to get an abortion, is coldest of all. "The Unraveling" is a dejected shuffle -- proper support for Raheem DeVaughn's conflicting thoughts of rebirth and emptiness -- with a lullaby break. DeVaughn continues to lead on the finale, "Tomorrow," a sonically sprightly number that can be taken as sarcastic, from the whistled intro to the singer's "I'm thankful to be alive, 'cause you sleep from eleven to seven, and work hard from nine to five." When it seems like the simple and chipper rhythm is about to fade away, the piano switches course and shifts into one of the most gorgeous melodies heard on any Roots album. It crash-lands, abruptly ending an album that, depending on the amount of time spent with it, will seem either fragmentary and hollow or fathoms deep -- either a trifle or among the group's most remarkable work. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8FuSPSnpfh-dTxscMykHXLl3RD1kHj4lc6ONlyipymZvw46z8LKSpFQEJ_ciZJY4VWnMJQHqm8XwluLiRSzRM0qZDsGU6JCJDUEH6rWSWSYBJI1e176IhTpG3bKtMzmlAw/s712/The+Roots+-+...And+Then+You+Shoot+Your+Cousin+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha8FuSPSnpfh-dTxscMykHXLl3RD1kHj4lc6ONlyipymZvw46z8LKSpFQEJ_ciZJY4VWnMJQHqm8XwluLiRSzRM0qZDsGU6JCJDUEH6rWSWSYBJI1e176IhTpG3bKtMzmlAw/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+...And+Then+You+Shoot+Your+Cousin+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/bizuz4rbq"> The Roots - ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin </a> (flac 169mb)<br /><br />01 Theme From the Middle of the Night 1:27<br />02 Never 3:54<br />03 When the People Cheer 3:01<br />04 The Devil 0:38<br />05 Black Rock 2:41<br />06 Understand 2:50<br />07 Dies Irae 1:07<br />08 The Coming 3:01<br />09 The Dark (Trinity) 5:17<br />10 The Unraveling 4:20<br />11 Tomorrow 5:06<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-78789143971151495932021-05-03T05:00:00.001+02:002021-05-03T05:00:00.275+02:00RhoDeo 2118 Expanse 40<p> Hello, <br /><br /> <br /><br />Here today, naturally my mission of trying to breakthough the wall of nonsense build by the supposed smartest men on the planet is continuing as chinks start to appear, their arrogant stupidity set us back decades if not more, electro-magnetics is clean energy and would have delivered us not only flying cars, but flying saucers aswell and who knows a pathway into other dimensions..Meanwhile i got a request to continue the Expanse, and as this is one of the greatest SF series of our days and within it Abaddon's Gate one of it's highlights no reason to stop there then, so i won't...N Joy..<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Before Einstein created his unique theorems on relativity, deflating Newton’s theories on gravity, Nikola Tesla posited the idea that electricity and energy were responsible for almost all cosmic phenomena.

Peratt, a plasma physicist and protégé of the Nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén. Peratt studied plasma formations in the laboratory for many years, monitoring short-duration z-pinch effects, as well as creating particle-in-cell animations using the best supercomputers available. His conclusions included a theory that galaxies, rather than being condensations of gravitationally bound gas and dust, were actually plasma formations.<br /><br />Simulations of galactic-scale, field-aligned Birkeland current filaments revealed that “…compression of tenuous cosmic plasma due to the self-consistent magnetic fields from currents conducted through the filaments” resulted in the formation of several galaxy configurations. Among them were elliptical and barred-spiral shapes.<br /><br />The Sombrero galaxy, also known as NGC 4594 or M104, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. Using the redshift measurement system employed by consensus astronomers, it is over 28 million light-years from Earth. That figure could be highly misleading, as several Picture of the Day articles about astronomer Halton Arp’s discoveries point out.<br /><br />Originally found in 1781 by Pierre Mèchain, the Sombrero galaxy presents puzzling attributes even to this day. It is a spectacular lenticular galaxy when seen through most optical telescopes, with a thick band of dark dust encircling its perimeter. However, as long ago as 1993, long-exposure optical images by David Malin of the Australian Astronomical Observatory revealed a halo of dust and gas completely englobing the galaxy. This led him to speculate that the Sombrero galaxy was a gigantic elliptical structure, with a spiral contained within.<br /><br />Recently, images from the Spitzer Space Telescope’s infrared instruments seem to indicate that Malin was correct: inside the cloud of obscuring haze are faint stars that can be seen in long infrared wavelengths.<br /><br />NASA launched the Spitzer Space Telescope into an Earth-trailing orbit on August 25, 2003. Its “cold mission” used a tank of liquid helium to keep onboard infrared detectors chilled to -268 Celsius. At that frigid temperature, wavelengths as long as 180 microns were detectable. In comparison, the longest red light frequency visible to the human eye is approximately .75 microns.<br /><br />The helium tank was exhausted after five years, so Spitzer is now conducting its “warm mission”. It can still see infrared signals in the 3.6 to 37 micron range because the “cold” of space keeps the instruments at -243 Celsius. The image at the top of the page is colored blue and green to indicate frequencies of 3.5 microns and 4.6 microns, respectively.<br /><br />According to the Spitzer analysis team, the finding answers a question that has long puzzled astronomers: spiral galaxies are not supposed to have so many globular clusters in orbit around them. Since the Sombrero galaxy has as many as 2000, the fact of its newly discovered elliptical status helps to resolve the issue.<br /><br />Galaxies exist within a circuit of electricity that flows through the cosmos from beginning to end. No one can tell where the current rises or to what it is attracted, but we see its electromagnetic fields in the magnetism surrounding galaxies and in the synchrotron radiation that they emit. The electric currents organize into fields of plasma composed of neutral atoms, but with a small fraction of electrons, protons and other charged particles also present. Those particles, and the charge-neutral ones they sweep along with them, are driven by the larger electromagnetic field to form “pinches” of matter.<br /><br />As Peratt’s publications insist, it is that plasma, along with the electricity that it engenders, that drives the structures within the cosmos. Their formation and behavior are indicative of Birkeland current filaments larger than galaxies creating z-pinch zones in which those galaxies can form. Since galaxies are often strung like pearls through space, that arrangement lends credence to the idea.<br /><br />The Sombrero galaxy most likely demonstrates how other spiral galaxies are constructed. Indeed, it has recently been shown that the Milky Way is surrounded by a vast halo, as well. Perhaps all galaxies are elliptical in nature, with the limitations imposed by our instrumentality preventing us from realizing it.<br /><br />Stephen Smith<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The groundbreaking field of electric universe geology is vibrant with new possibilities. Standard geology proposes that the primary forces that have shaped planetary surfaces are periodic impacts, volcanism, and wind and water erosion over eons of time. However, on every rocky body in the solar system, from our planet all the way to the Kuiper Belt, the objects we see show features that routinely defy this reasoning.<br /><br />Natural philosopher, engineer and Thunderblog contributor Andrew Hall has established a link between the winds of Jupiter and landforms on Earth. In primordial times, Earth’s weather was like Jupiter’s, with raging plasma whirlwinds and segregated electric jet streams that attained supersonic speeds.<br /><br />In Episode 5 of his "Eye of the Storm" series, Andy examines mountains and landforms to show clear evidence of wind-blown deposition that layered the land, supersonic shock waves that shaped mountain flanks, massive lightning discharges that welded rock, and plasma vortexes that blow-torched the landscape of Earth.<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="374" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qrxlqWPWgzw" width="450" youtube-src-id="qrxlqWPWgzw"></iframe></div><br />https://youtu.be/qrxlqWPWgzw<br /><br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Nemesis Games is a 2015 science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the fifth book in their The Expanse series. It is the sequel to Cibola Burn. The cover art is by Daniel Dociu.[Nemesis Games received positive reviews. Andrew Liptak of io9 called the novel "Corey’s 'Empire Strikes Back'".<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />The Rocinante is down for long-term maintenance after the events of Cibola Burn. Three crew members decide to take care of some personal business during the down time. Amos Burton heads to Earth when he learns someone important from his past there has died, to pay his respects and to make sure no foul play was involved. Alex Kamal heads to Mars in the hopes of getting closure with his ex-wife and to see Bobbie while there. Naomi Nagata heads to Ceres station, when she receives a message that her son Filip is in trouble. While Jim Holden supervises repairs to the Rocinante, he is enlisted by Monica Stuart to investigate disappearing colony ships.<br /><br />Facing collapse by the exodus of colony ships through the rings, militant factions of the OPA coalesce into a Free Navy and simultaneously wreak havoc on Earth as they try to kill the Martian Prime Minister and Fred Johnson. Amos survives the attacks on Earth, frees Clarissa Mao and escapes to Luna with her help and the help of Baltimore organized crime acquaintances from his old life. Alex meets Bobbie on Mars and they investigate missing Martian military equipment and ships, which leads them into the middle of the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Naomi is kidnapped by her ex-lover Marco, leader of the Free Navy, but manages to escape; Alex and Bobbie rescue her.<br /><br />The crew reunites on the Rocinante. What's left of the Earth, Mars and the non-militant OPA government meet on Luna. Naomi finally tells Jim about her violent past. Amos asks that Clarissa stay as his apprentice. The Free Navy has encamped past the belt and is preventing anyone from going through the rings. It is revealed that the Free Navy was sold most of its equipment by a rogue faction of the Martian Navy led by Admiral Winston Duarte and that the disappearing colony ships are being consumed by a force within the gates. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZk4myuAl-fUWNDza3rqItJcDIRAxqHDP8QKb0JJHXMi1_SDHPKPVxf326k-Yd4ZvhxywsitCUiHpDu1JdmkHu97p6bkoV8_ERtj2uN9ejSHbszns2aYF7Q260YyubwGfH9g/s712/Nemesis+Games.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZk4myuAl-fUWNDza3rqItJcDIRAxqHDP8QKb0JJHXMi1_SDHPKPVxf326k-Yd4ZvhxywsitCUiHpDu1JdmkHu97p6bkoV8_ERtj2uN9ejSHbszns2aYF7Q260YyubwGfH9g/w400-h400/Nemesis+Games.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/790127f58516fd066de7ff5212e87543">James S.A.

He is a member of the music groups Diamond Version with Olaf Bender (Byetone), Signal with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, Cyclo with Ryoji Ikeda, ANBB with Blixa Bargeld, ALPHABET with Anne-James Chaton. Opto with Thomas Knak, and Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto with whom he composed the score for the 2015 film The Revenant. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Carsten Nicolai, born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. He is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. In his work he seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man by making scientific phenomenons like sound and light frequencies perceivable for both eyes and ears. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematic patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, random and self-organizing structures. His installations have a minimalistic aesthetic that by its elegance and consistency is highly intriguing. After his participation in important international exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />His artistic œuvre echoes in his work as a musician. For his musical outputs he uses the pseudonym Alva Noto. With a strong adherence to reductionism he leads his sound experiments into the field of electronic music creating his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols. Together with Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider he is co-founder of the label 'raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton'. Diverse musical projects include remarkable collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ryoji Ikeda (cyclo.), Blixa Bargeld or Mika Vainio. Nicolai toured extensively as Alva Noto through Europe, Asia, South America and the US. Among others, he performed at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou in Paris and Tate Modern in London. Most recently Nicolai scored the music for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s newest film, 'The Revenant' which has been nominated for a Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Critics Choice Award.<br /><br />biography<br />lives and works in Berlin and Chemnitz, Germany<br />1965 born in Karl-Marx-Stadt, GDR<br />1985-90 Study of landscape architecture.

Iñárritu's new film The Revenant, Leonardo DiCaprio plays frontiersman Hugh Glass as he, his son, and his hunting team raid Native American land in 1832. After DiCaprio is unexpectedly mauled by a bear, the crew buries him, murders his son, and abandons their bodies, continuing the journey unaware that DiCaprio escaped the grave to seek revenge. Calling The Revenant "intense" doesn't begin to do it justice; among other things, it's a meditation on the unholy perseverance of the human soul. Yet its soundtrack—co-created by Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, German electronic musician Alva Noto, and multi-instrumentalist Bryce Dessner of The National—wisely opts to complement that savagery rather than illustrate it.<br /><br />Iñárritu’s Birdman, the 2015 Academy Awards' Best Picture winner, stuttered its way through an unconventional drum score by Antonio Sánchez. Here, things get even more minimalist. The Revenant trades in sixteenth notes on hi-hats for minute-long fermatas, or held notes, on cellos. Throughout all 23 tracks, the score straddles the line between weariness and wonder, like someone constantly recalling the danger this stunning planet is capable of unleashing. Under conductor André de Ridder, Berlin-based orchestra s t a r g a z e plays expansively and with great care, its 25 players sporting a serious side compared to their work with artists like Deerhoof and Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry.<br /><br />That organic swelling matches the dramatics beneath the film. Iñárritu fought to keep CGI out of The Revenant. He fought to use natural light on set. He fought to film so deep within nature that 40% of the day was spent traveling there. Each of the three contributors uphold this commitment to naturalism, even with Alva Noto's electronica. Sakamoto favors simplicity and clarity; as DiCaprio crosses frozen rivers and sleeps in animal carcasses, the brevity of Sakamoto's "Killing Hawk" illustrates the strength of Sakamoto's tight focus. On the minute-long "Arriving At Fort Kiowa", a single cello is joined by trotting string support, the group leaning forward in rhythm as a unified organism.<br /><br />Noto brings three different dream sequences to the table—"First Dream", "Church Dream", and "Second Dream"—where electronic bass thuds in the background like a mattress falling to the floor of an empty room. It's eerie without offering obvious indicators as to why. In that, Noto's a pro. His use of electronics mimics the eldritch stares of a stalker, especially on "Goodbye to Hawk", creating the kind of anxiety heard in films like Drive and Under the Skin. Familiarity with the film's graphic scenes or the brutal landscapes of southern Argentina isn't required. Noto's written work acts as the terrified heartbeat fueling Iñárritu's violent winter all on its own.<br /><br />Bryce Dessner is the least involved of the three songwriters, but when he contributes, he creates a world overwhelmingly rich with life – the very thing DiCaprio's character clings to. The most emotional number on the album, "Imagining Buffalo", introduces one violinist to another and another, stitching them together so they form a single note stretching into the infinite and spilling joy over into illusory insanity. "Looking For Glass" rides a similar crescendo. When all three men join forces again, songs like "Cat and Mouse" use handclaps and violin tremors to communicate the indefatigability of cheating death. Sometimes, the soundtrack traces the film’s woes without coloring them in, but it’s still successful in creating the sound of mental exhaustion choosing life over death, no matter how torturous and unforgiving it — and we — may be.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTzMvHcZdBbtXFMhzKViUHKdNBZ645pBoUeAqAAtcoB4_eVIwW9yFPlBpNmmyJ5xmKXdxOm4xQFo5yFrcTPf9n4xN3XhbexrJxsFkRimYPVNoqL39N0OCmGb9tZ5jrUT1xQ/s712/The+Revenant+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPTzMvHcZdBbtXFMhzKViUHKdNBZ645pBoUeAqAAtcoB4_eVIwW9yFPlBpNmmyJ5xmKXdxOm4xQFo5yFrcTPf9n4xN3XhbexrJxsFkRimYPVNoqL39N0OCmGb9tZ5jrUT1xQ/w400-h400/The+Revenant+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/9ea41e8afb1851f6330926077c122ec2"> Ryuichi Sakamoto, Alva Noto & Bryce Dessner - The Revenant .</a> (291mb)<br /><br />01 The Revenant Main Theme 2:41<br />02 Hawk Punished 2:14<br />03 Carrying Glass 3:07<br />04 First Dream 3:05<br />05 Killing Hawk 3:49<br />06 Discovering River 1:11<br />07 Goodbye To Hawk 3:41<br />08 Discovering Buffalo 2:43<br />09 Hell Ensemble 2:38<br />10 Glass And Buffalo Warrior Travel 1:51<br />11 Arriving At Fort Kiowa 1:21<br />12 Church Dream 2:38<br />13 Powaqa Rescue 5:35<br />14 Imagining Buffalo 2:39<br />15 The Revenant Theme 2 1:54<br />16 Second Dream 1:13<br />17 Out Of Horse 3:57<br />18 Looking For Glass 2:51<br />19 Cat & Mouse 5:42<br />20 The Revenant Main Theme Atmospheric 2:50<br />21 Final Fight 6:35<br />22 The End 2:16<br />23 The Revenant Theme (Alva Noto Remodel) 4:00<br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Aggression has, for the most part, been a matter of force, or damage. They yell, the guitars scream, the drums roar. All a product of man's basest tendencies, a primitive release. Reining it back, Live 2002, is in many ways a controlled exploration of the impulses preceding the violence. Its pulsating sine waves and pricking clicks dig themselves into its listener's skull. Scoring the ascent to man's breaking point, narrating the build up to a night of transgressions and misdeeds.<br /><br />The early 2000's was witness to a new era of minimal electronic music characterised by a stripped back electronic sound and glitchy textures. Spearheaded by labels like Raster Noton, the movement failed to truly crystallise into any substantial, with near misses we would see in releases like Ikeda's Dataplex or Ripatti's Entain. Or so we thought. A decade and a half later, we have what could be considered the scene's opus, performed live for a residency in The Baltic Centre For Contemporary Art, all this while tucked away in some dank corner somewhere.<br /><br />Live 2002 blends minimal techno, glitch and microsound in a truly gorgeous and yet simultaneously unnerving method. Over the course of 11 movements, it presents itself as a true work of art and a labour of love, birthed from spontaneity, yet controlled, measured and sinister.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3hMFhhBDkPcAjXQPqLy0VDCNTGTZ4I-guu92P17mY3K04_rhyphenhyphenilV-6Vpa9nXRYudF94gBrdnA_RAWpedLToZ_oYFCYjPppmFtcTFf6qwyDVQDyfy4pGtWu2223yy7gSgxw/s712/Live+2002+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio3hMFhhBDkPcAjXQPqLy0VDCNTGTZ4I-guu92P17mY3K04_rhyphenhyphenilV-6Vpa9nXRYudF94gBrdnA_RAWpedLToZ_oYFCYjPppmFtcTFf6qwyDVQDyfy4pGtWu2223yy7gSgxw/w400-h400/Live+2002+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/1LVRGWJM"> Alva Noto + Mika Vainio + Ryoji Ikeda - Live 2002 </a> ( flac 256mb)<br /><br />01 Movements 1 3:42<br />02 Movements 2 3:48<br />03 Movements 3 1:21<br />04 Movements 4 7:36<br />05 Movements 5 3:18<br />06 Movements 6 5:06<br />07 Movements 7 4:20<br />08 Movements 8 4:40<br />09 Movements 9 0:30<br />10 Movements 10 5:49<br />11 Movements 11 4:24 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />There is an arresting and all consuming drone held throughout Glass. Other sounds may visit and dissipate but this never ending reverberating drone is the one constant of the piece - it is almost without exception the loudest element at all times, often the only element. Glass has a spooky quality without tipping over into harsh unpleasantness. It is as patient as hell, in comparison other ambient pieces will sound like a festival.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4uqWNDWGhXTKvvTSUew9LZTh43w13BjHDmNZFBOPN_xljCTpJ6IiLIYeTR_kLA_qDjvJX94JK0R459H5i2GWnKxsyovtvrE73cdEpMC4tG3YS2xo8_te2IJhkR0_RsvL0-Q/s712/Glass+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4uqWNDWGhXTKvvTSUew9LZTh43w13BjHDmNZFBOPN_xljCTpJ6IiLIYeTR_kLA_qDjvJX94JK0R459H5i2GWnKxsyovtvrE73cdEpMC4tG3YS2xo8_te2IJhkR0_RsvL0-Q/w400-h400/Glass+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://depositfiles.com/files/1lt4uftou"> Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto - Glass </a> ( flac 225mb)<br /><br />1 Glass 36:58 <br /><br /> <br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />After all these years of Kraftwerk and Autechre, you'd think something like this would be mainstream and sound not quite futuristic, but already much of the present. In a parallel universe, would there be techno purists left to complain that "Uni Dna" is basically a soft cyborg porn smash hit?<br /><br />But here are we in 2018 on this planet and "UNIEQAV" - which may well remain one of the gateway albums for Alva Noto newbies, in spite of it being unambitious, unabashed fun - still can claim some edge. If you've trespassed into minimal hells by now, all this will strike you as a pretty warm beating electronic heart - and take it or leave it as such. Fairly varied, but consistent, not overly dense, not sparse, just the right balance of sterility and breeze of emotion.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFoYdoE3nljAJmkwVcYdB1NqBQ0oqyNXFOG8FKHLQDxOkqGKIlnCm7jN6OS6qrMSxr6UbHq8_06ww0vSsV1HSZf0P2LRz2XQYPxb8uKuCQBHsp_kw5s5atS6gn1V3L2xEBfw/s712/Alva+Noto+-+Unieqav.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFoYdoE3nljAJmkwVcYdB1NqBQ0oqyNXFOG8FKHLQDxOkqGKIlnCm7jN6OS6qrMSxr6UbHq8_06ww0vSsV1HSZf0P2LRz2XQYPxb8uKuCQBHsp_kw5s5atS6gn1V3L2xEBfw/w400-h400/Alva+Noto+-+Unieqav.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/tGhvn"> Alva Noto - Unieqav</a> ( flac 277mb)<br /><br />01 Uni Sub 5:50<br />02 Uni Mia 5:52<br />03 Uni Version 4:48<br />04 Uni Clip 1:51<br />05 Uni Normal 4:25<br />06 Uni Mic A 3:37<br />07 Uni Blue 5:52<br />08 Uni Mic B 5:03<br />09 Uni DNA 5:50<br />10 Uni Edit 1:42<br />11 Uni Tra 4:19<br />12 Uni Chord 5:33 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Glenn Gould Foundation in Canada held several events around the world in 2017 to celebrate what would have been Gould's 85th birthday and the 150 years since the founding of Canada. In Japan, the curator of the perfomance was long time fan Ryuichi Sakamoto. In December 2017, Glenn Gould Gathering was held at the Sogetsu Kaikan in Aoyama, Tokyo. That concert is now released on Blu-ray, in addition to the SACD released last year. Some tracks on this vary from the SACD. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCq70L0XvdYUVqv0eJEfJDGwFdI2a7sx4SXCONaCXsqdRwYAixdKzCinOlWTi632d9Ctf5CRFOjX93frxME6q827sTVxzOtkEn4ZAwJGsEZqI0tJhFauPOOuSEGTfLicRl2A/s818/Glenn+Gould+Gathering+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="818" height="349" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCq70L0XvdYUVqv0eJEfJDGwFdI2a7sx4SXCONaCXsqdRwYAixdKzCinOlWTi632d9Ctf5CRFOjX93frxME6q827sTVxzOtkEn4ZAwJGsEZqI0tJhFauPOOuSEGTfLicRl2A/w400-h349/Glenn+Gould+Gathering+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/8fa340287d68053450f7db626b256cc5"> Alva Noto + Nilo, Christian Fennesz, Francesco Tristano, Ryuichi Sakamoto - Glenn Gould Gathering.</a> ( flac 248mb)<br /><br />1-1 Improvisation_20171215 6:24<br />1-2 Die Kunst Der Fuge_BWV1080a - Contrapunctus I 4:40<br />1-3 Choral_BWV614 2:27<br />1-4 Andata 2:44<br />1-5 Choral_BWV639 4:36<br />1-6 A Grandbell Tragedy 21:08<br />1-7 BachGould Redux 18:58<br />2-1 Pavan 4:12<br />2-2 French Air 0:59<br />2-3 Alman 0:36<br />2-4 Italian Ground 2:21<br />2-5 Ground 2:28<br /> Two Pieces For Piano<br />2-6 No. 1 1:57<br />2-7 No. 2 0:51<br />2-8 Fantasia In D 6:36<br />2-9 Coda For Glenn 17:45<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-76069717139598949492021-04-30T05:00:00.001+02:002021-04-30T05:00:00.287+02:00RhoDeo 2117 Grooves<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artists One of the most prolific rap groups, were also among the most progressive acts in contemporary music, from their 1993 debut through their conceptual 2010s releases. Despite the seemingly archaic practice of functioning as a rap band with several instrumentalists -- from 2007 onward, their lineup even featured a sousaphonist -- they were ceaselessly creative, whether with their own material or through their varied assortment of collaborations. They went platinum and gold with successive studio releases and won a handful of Grammy Awards. After they gained a nightly nationwide audience through a close partnership with television host Jimmy Fallon, they continued to challenge listeners with works free of genre restrictions..

Playing around school, on the sidewalk, and later at talent shows (with ?uestlove's drum kit backing Black Thought's rhymes), the pair began to earn money and hooked up with bassist Hub (Leon Hubbard) and rapper Malik B. Moving from the street to local clubs, the Roots became a highly tipped underground act around Philadelphia and New York. When they were invited to represent stateside hip-hop at a concert in Germany, the Roots recorded an album to sell at shows; the result, Organix, was released in May 1993 on Remedy Records. With a music industry buzz surrounding their activities, the Roots entertained offers from several labels before signing with DGC that same year.<br /><br />Do You Want More?!!!??! The Roots' first major-label album, Do You Want More?!!!??!, was released in January 1995. Forsaking usual hip-hop protocol, the record was produced without any samples or previously recorded material. It peaked just outside the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 and made more tracks in alternative circles, partly due to the Roots playing the second stage at Lollapalooza that summer. The band also journeyed to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Two of the guests on the album who had toured around with the band, human beatbox Rahzel the Godfather of Noyze -- previously a performer with Grandmaster Flash and LL Cool J -- and Scott Storch (later replaced by Kamal Gray), became permanent members of the group.<br /><br />Illadelph Halflife Early in 1996, the Roots released "Clones," the trailer single for their second album. It hit the rap Top Five, and created a good buzz. That September, Illadelph Halflife appeared and made number 21 on the Billboard 200. Much like its predecessor, though, the Roots' second LP was a difficult listen. It made several very small concessions to mainstream rap -- the bandmembers sampled material that they had recorded earlier at jam sessions -- but failed to make a hit of their unique sound. Their third album, February 1999's Things Fall Apart, was easily their biggest critical and commercial success. Released on MCA, it went platinum, and "You Got Me" -- a collaboration with Erykah Badu -- peaked within the Top 40 and subsequently won a Grammy in the category of Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.<br /><br />Phrenology The long-awaited Phrenology was released in November 2002 amid rumors of the Roots losing interest in their label arrangements with MCA. In 2004, the band remedied the situation by creating the Okayplayer company. Named after their website, Okayplayer included a record label and a production/promotion company. The same year, the band held a series of jam sessions to give their next album a looser feel. The results were edited down to ten tracks and released in July 2004 as The Tipping Point, supported by Geffen. A 2004 concert from Manhattan's Webster Hall with special guests like Mobb Deep, Young Gunz, and Jean Grae was issued in February 2005 as The Roots Present in both CD and DVD formats. Two volumes of the rarities-collecting Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots appeared at the end of the year.<br /><br />Game Theory A subsequent deal with Def Jam fostered a series of riveting, often grim sets, beginning with Game Theory (August 2006) and Rising Down (April 2008). In 2009, the group expanded their reach as the exceptionally versatile house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The new gig didn't slow their recording schedule; in 2010 alone, they released the sharp How I Got Over (June), as well as Wake Up! (September), where they backed John Legend on covers of socially relevant soul classics like Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody" and Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy." It earned Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. As they remained with Fallon, the Roots worked with Miami soul legend Betty Wright on November 2011's Betty Wright: The Movie, and followed it the next month with their 13th studio long-player, Undun, an ambitious concept album whose main character dies in the first track and then follows his life backward.<br /><br />Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs Work on the group's next studio LP was postponed as an unexpected duet album with Elvis Costello took priority for the group in 2013. Originally planned as a reinterpretation of Costello's songbook, the record Wise Up Ghost turned into a full-fledged collaboration and was greeted by positive reviews upon its September 2013 release on Blue Note. Within six months, the band joined Jimmy Fallon in his new late-night slot, the high-profile Tonight Show program. Another concept album, the brief but deep ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, was released in May 2014. Rapper Malik B., a fixture on the Roots' early albums, died on July 29, 2020, at the age of 47.<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Releasing an album recorded live in concert makes more sense for the Roots than any other hip-hop artist, considering they've always concentrated on live prowess over their skills on the mic or in the production booth. The standard guitar/drums/bass/keyboards lineup of most rock bands is a reality for this group, and after years of requests from rabid fans, the Roots acquiesced with a document of their live experience, titled The Roots Come Alive. Recorded at two venues in New York and one in Paris, the album distills exactly what the Roots bring to the hip-hop world -- a live experience built on call-and-response vocals that bring the show to the audience like few other artists. The sound is fantastic, especially on early keyboard-driven tracks like "Proceed," "Essaywhuman?!???!!!," and "Mellow My Man." Though the raps themselves often suffer from the live setting, the rhythms are crisper than in the studio, and the bass-driven grooves are much beefier. The Roots' resident turntablist, Scratch, takes a large role as well, as does human beatbox Rahzel the Godfather of Noyze (though the latter only appears on about half of the album). This is a live album that not only satisfies fans, but offers neophytes more entertainment than any of the Roots' studio efforts. It's difficult to make any live album a first pick, but Come Alive displays the group doing exactly what it does best. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBp7jVnVZaRqHUdxH1Er5jMe85pKApLJ5dqbMYgG7WJLsemfXDYoxCjTb2QMxDhyphenhyphenMadQi-amaktkmyDZxiSAdEWk1UI2BMfMsnZ5axaaciys22iszC-J_7s3mR3wxEx9E4wA/s800/The+Roots+-+Come+Alive+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="800" height="348" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBp7jVnVZaRqHUdxH1Er5jMe85pKApLJ5dqbMYgG7WJLsemfXDYoxCjTb2QMxDhyphenhyphenMadQi-amaktkmyDZxiSAdEWk1UI2BMfMsnZ5axaaciys22iszC-J_7s3mR3wxEx9E4wA/w391-h348/The+Roots+-+Come+Alive+-.jpg" width="391" /></a></p><p><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/peE4L"> The Roots - Come Alive (Limited Edition) </a> (flac 620mb)<br /><br />01 Live at the T-Connection 0:48<br />02 The Next Movement 3:49<br />03 Step Into the Realm 3:27<br />04 Proceed 2:45<br />05 Mellow My Man / Jusufckwithis 5:02<br />06 Love of My Life 3:44<br />07 The Ultimate 3:58<br />08 Don't See Us 5:22<br />09 100% Dundee 4:30<br />10 Adrenaline! 6:11<br />11 Essaywhuman?!! 5:15<br />12 Silent Treatment 7:19<br />13 The Notic 4:29<br />14 You Got Me 8:51<br />15 Encore 0;06<br /><br />16 What You Want 4:07<br />17 We Got You 0:39<br />18 The Lesson - Part III (It's Over Now) 4:01<br />19 All I Know 4:02<br />20 Y'All Know Who 3:31<br />21 For The Love Of Money 2:06<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The easy-flowing Things Fall Apart made the Roots one of the most popular artists of alternative rap's second wave. Anticipated nearly as much as it was delayed, the proper studio follow-up, Phrenology, finally appeared in late 2002, after much perfectionist tinkering by the band -- so much that the liner notes include recording dates (covering a span of two years) and, sometimes, histories for the individual tracks. Coffeehouse music programmers beware: Phrenology is not Things Fall Apart redux; it's a challenging, hugely ambitious opus that's by turns brilliant and bewildering, as it strains to push the very sound of hip-hop into the future. Despite a few gentler tracks (like the Nelly Furtado and Jill Scott guest spots), Phrenology is the hardest-hitting Roots album to date, partly because it's their most successful attempt to re-create their concert punch in the studio. ?uestlove's drums positively boom out of the speakers on the Talib Kweli duet "Rolling With Heat"; the fantastic, lean guitar groover "The Seed (2.0)" (with neo-soul auteur Cody ChesnuTT); and the opening section of "Water." The ten-minute "Water" is the album's centerpiece, a powerful look at former Roots MC Malik B.'s drug problems that morphs into a downright avant-garde sound collage. Similarly, lead single "Break You Off," a neo-soul duet with Musiq, winds up in a melange of drum'n'bass programming and live strings. If moves like those, or the speed-blur Bad Brains punk of "!!!!!!!," or the drum'n'bass backdrop of poet Amiri Baraka's "Something in the Way of Things (In Town)" can seem self-consciously eclectic, it's also true that Phrenology is one of those albums where the indulgences and far-out experiments make it that much more fascinating, whether they work or not. Plus, slamming grooves like "Rock You," "Thought @ Work," and the aforementioned "The Seed (2.0)" keep things exciting and vital. If this really is the future of hip-hop, then the sky is the limit. [The two hidden bonus tracks are "Rhymes and Ammo," the Talib Kweli collaboration that appeared on Soundbombing, Vol. 3, and "Something to See," another techno-inflected jam.] <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcUsb06P9jRJ9Ns04YPhVc9hGwNxowbIejX1udGkGAqIIIYA4SW7u6ohxG22E-x0A2Wp-nGdYB4Ar6kPe4LEVZz-4CZhpX_LAl8vJiEqLk97AfHyfFJ_S9F96Mft8ucgvFg/s712/The+Roots+-+Phrenology+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTcUsb06P9jRJ9Ns04YPhVc9hGwNxowbIejX1udGkGAqIIIYA4SW7u6ohxG22E-x0A2Wp-nGdYB4Ar6kPe4LEVZz-4CZhpX_LAl8vJiEqLk97AfHyfFJ_S9F96Mft8ucgvFg/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Phrenology+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/c0700120b7869cf19bd7102142da11b6"> The Roots - Phrenology </a> 478mb (flac 02)<br /><br />1 Phrentrow 0:18<br />2 Rock You 3:12<br />3 !!!!!!! 0:24<br />4 Sacrifice 4:44<br />5 Rolling With Heat 3:42<br />6 WAOK (AY) Rollcall 1:00<br />7 Thought @ Work 4:58<br />8 The Seed (2.0) 4:27<br />9 Break You Off 7:27<br />10 Water 10:24<br />11 Quills 4:21<br />12 Pussy Galore 4:29<br />13 Complexity 4:47<br />14 Something in the Way of Things (In Town) 7:16<br />15 [untitled] 0:20<br />16 [untitled] 0:20<br />17 Rhymes & Ammo / Thirsty!

Besides the usual expectation for the band's superior lyrical skills and attention to detail, there's the previously announced concept that The Tipping Point would be recorded through free-spirited jams that would later be edited down. Sounds like a don't-care-about-the-final-package, music-for-music's-sake release, but the album is a well-constructed ride from start to finish that's perfect for a headphones-on, lights-out evening and a gift to fans who found 2002's Phrenology a bit mannered and forced. To paraphrase the album's "Pointro," the tracks here are mostly warm and organic "life music" that "thrusts its branches from the muck of wackness" without any overly calculated "hypnotic donkey rhythms." The ghost of Sly & the Family Stone is summoned for the opening "Star," an exuberant soul rocker that creeps along with a Timbaland-style beat, only it's live. On the other hand, there's the perfect for popping, locking, and robot-dancing "Don't Say Nuthin'" with its solid electro and Black Thought's quirky mumbled verse. The shifting from the sticky, stately reggae of "Guns Are Drawn" to the Cohiba-puffing swagger of "Stay Cool" is just one example of how the album overcomes its noncommitment to any particular groove by giving the listener nothing but fully formed, inspired tracks. The band's renewed love of head-bobbing jams also helps keep it together although the album's long stretches of rap-less jamming might alienate those just here for the message. For them there's the lyric-filled "Boom!," which may not be enough. Take off your academic backpack for a change and bask in an album that's comfortably loose and ends with an over-the-top, celebratory cover of George Kranz's "Din Daa Daa" that's unnecessary but extra fun. The Tipping Point is too modest to be the "idea that spreads like a virus" that's explored in the Malcolm Gladwell book the collection cops it title from. What the album lacks in ambition and social commentary, it makes up for with deep soul. That should be enough to make whatever this group does next "highly anticipated."<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4pDcztFMjYy_bItu53JwPjRWcxUXE7Yd20UYsK29chn0tQTSplij7omwQSZWkCRsrplRE1vvnnuuvkTPSU5K4OGYt7kDrGqd3TRc7gYfCbwjNy8OeVqen6zwPOQcFgQZmA/s712/The+Roots+-+The+Tipping+Point+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI4pDcztFMjYy_bItu53JwPjRWcxUXE7Yd20UYsK29chn0tQTSplij7omwQSZWkCRsrplRE1vvnnuuvkTPSU5K4OGYt7kDrGqd3TRc7gYfCbwjNy8OeVqen6zwPOQcFgQZmA/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+The+Tipping+Point+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.filefactory.com/file/1taq0zbyk3r6/Th_Rts%20Tppng%20Pnt.zip"> The Roots - The Tipping Point </a> (flac min 363mb)<br /><br />01 Star / Pointro 7:36<br />02 I Don't Care 4:02<br />03 Don't Say Nuthin' 3:35<br />04 Guns Are Drawn 5:15<br />05 Stay Cool 3:34<br />06 Web 3:16<br />07 Boom! 2:57<br />08 Somebody's Gotta Do It 4:08<br />09 Duck Down! 3:56<br />10 - Why (What's Goin On?) 4:20<br />- [silence] 0:17<br />- The Mic [unlisted track] 3:50<br />- Dum Da Da [unlisted track] 8:14 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx <br /><br />Game Theory is the Roots' equivalent of a Funkadelic playlist containing "Wars of Armageddon," "Cosmic Slop," "Maggot Brain," "March to the Witch's Castle," and "America Eats Its Young." It's a vivid reflector of the times, not an escape hatch (of which there are several readily available options). Spinning turbulence, paranoia, anger, and pain into some of the most exhilarating and startling music released in 2006, the group is audibly galvanized by the world's neverending tailspin and a sympathetic alignment with Def Jam. Batting around stray ideas and squeezing them into shape was clearly not part of the plan, and neither was getting on the radio. The songs flow into and out of one another to optimal effect, with an impossibly stern sense of peak-of-powers focus, as if the group and its collaborators instantly locked into place and simply knocked the thing out. With the exception of the elbow-throwing "Here I Come," nothing here is suitable for any kind of carefree activity. The extent of the album's caustic nature is tipped off early on, after glancing at the hangman on the cover and hearing Wadud Ahmad's penetrating voice run through lines like "Pilgrims, slaves, Indians, Mexicans/It looks real f*cked up for your next of kin." The point at which the album kicks into full gear, just a couple minutes later, arrives when tumbling bass drums and a Sly & the Family Stone sample ("This is a game/I'm your specimen") are suddenly overtaken by pure panic -- pulse-racing drums, anxious organ jabs, pent-up guitar snarls, and breathless rhyming from Black Thought and Malik B. "In the Music" exemplifies the deeply textured nature of the album's production work, with its rolling/roiling rhythm -- throbbing bass, clanging percussion, tight spirals of guitar -- made all the more claustrophobic by Porn's amorphous chorus and Black Thought's and Malik B.'s hunched-shoulder deliveries. Even "Baby," the closest thing to a breather in this patch of the album, arises from a sweltering jungle bog. After "Long Time," the ninth track, the levels of tension and volume decrease, yet the moods are no brighter, even if the surfaces leave a different impression. "Clock with No Hands" is introduced as a sweet slow jam with a light vocal hook from Mercedes Martinez, but it's as paranoid as anything else on the album. Jack Davey projects the chorus of the slower, Radiohead-sampling "Atonement" in a druggy haze while Black Thought speaks of "being faced with the weight of survival." The closer, an eight-minute suite titled "Can't Stop This," features a J Dilla production -- previewed on his Donuts, released the week he left this planet -- that opens and closes with testimonials to the musician's talent and humanity. Taken with or without this staggering finale, Game Theory is a heavy album, the Roots' sharpest work.

New measurements show that the amount of dark matter in a large region around the Sun is far smaller than predicted and have indicated that there is no significant dark matter at all in our neighbourhood.”<br /><br />Most of the mass of the Milky Way (and of most spiral galaxies) is in the central bulge. If stars in the arms were revolving under the gravitational influence of what we see, they would slow down with distance from the center. Instead, the stars have fairly constant velocities. It’s called the “flat rotation curve.” (Astronomers can’t make up their minds whether to consider a galaxy a thing in itself, which rotates, or an assembly of stars, which revolve.) The accepted gravitational solution is to assert that there “must be” a halo of dark matter around the Milky Way placed “just so” as to cause the constant velocities. The dark matter is astronomers’ ideal substance: it projects only a gravitational force but not a trace of anything electromagnetic, so it can’t be seen. It’s anti-plasma!<br /><br />Now the “must be” is colliding with the “what we see.” “‘Despite the new results, the Milky Way certainly rotates much faster than the visible matter alone can account for…. Our results contradict the currently accepted models.’” If astronomy were a science, “contradict” would mean “falsify,” and astronomers would start over. They would consider alternative hypotheses and other assumptions. But this would undermine textbooks, discredit papers, and jeopardize professorships.<br /><br />The accepted model has many knobs that can be twiddled and components that can be swapped out. It’s better to get a grant to twiddle and to swap out: add a paragraph to the text, amend a paper, get a promotion. The model is not so much a theory of dark matter as a guarantee of job security. The dark condition of matter fits this dark age of science. The priests of orthodox astronomy copy ancient assumptions into new manuscripts illuminated with flourishes of excuse-making but devoid of groundbreaking thought.<br /><br />One alternative from different assumptions—different from gravity—is the lab-based simulations of Anthony Peratt. He has shown that interacting Birkeland currents will rotate around each other at a constant velocity, trailing plasma behind them into spiral “arms.” More plasma will accumulate between them into a “bulge” that eventually swallows the currents. Is an interaction like this at the galactic scale the motive force of galactic rotation?<br /><br />Analogy is not homology, as the biologists like to point out, but a scientific investigation of the matter would at least look into it.<br /><br />Mel Acheson<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />For over 100 years the cosmological story has been the story of the Big Bang, gravity and relativity.

A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Nemesis Games is a 2015 science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the fifth book in their The Expanse series. It is the sequel to Cibola Burn. The cover art is by Daniel Dociu.[Nemesis Games received positive reviews. Andrew Liptak of io9 called the novel "Corey’s 'Empire Strikes Back'".<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />The Rocinante is down for long-term maintenance after the events of Cibola Burn. Three crew members decide to take care of some personal business during the down time. Amos Burton heads to Earth when he learns someone important from his past there has died, to pay his respects and to make sure no foul play was involved. Alex Kamal heads to Mars in the hopes of getting closure with his ex-wife and to see Bobbie while there. Naomi Nagata heads to Ceres station, when she receives a message that her son Filip is in trouble. While Jim Holden supervises repairs to the Rocinante, he is enlisted by Monica Stuart to investigate disappearing colony ships.<br /><br />Facing collapse by the exodus of colony ships through the rings, militant factions of the OPA coalesce into a Free Navy and simultaneously wreak havoc on Earth as they try to kill the Martian Prime Minister and Fred Johnson. Amos survives the attacks on Earth, frees Clarissa Mao and escapes to Luna with her help and the help of Baltimore organized crime acquaintances from his old life. Alex meets Bobbie on Mars and they investigate missing Martian military equipment and ships, which leads them into the middle of the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Naomi is kidnapped by her ex-lover Marco, leader of the Free Navy, but manages to escape; Alex and Bobbie rescue her.<br /><br />The crew reunites on the Rocinante. What's left of the Earth, Mars and the non-militant OPA government meet on Luna. Naomi finally tells Jim about her violent past. Amos asks that Clarissa stay as his apprentice. The Free Navy has encamped past the belt and is preventing anyone from going through the rings. It is revealed that the Free Navy was sold most of its equipment by a rogue faction of the Martian Navy led by Admiral Winston Duarte and that the disappearing colony ships are being consumed by a force within the gates. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKZY1eAjX7UqCq9aqG3plCmjvMg4o35ZBzZMdC72W1VgDzNP3uADvirR03lmaFKKFGGjbU6ucLVMwTP5u-F8AqyG3KLsfaX_lhqGY8TnYkqRWdmWcq7JHBMx-bRk8_MWS6A/s550/0-missing-matter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOaxD5bBFRJIcYpyWSg4NiiwNcKQMNhZYNq6HDpfbgpV8LfT4iFD2tRBXyLUgfiYhxGbDrzWL0BT4HPP4UNTGFNM5OjkSzYCcWb7OuqUgwbLF9yih5xWEezbWXFL6YiIT0g/s712/Nemesis+Games.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpOaxD5bBFRJIcYpyWSg4NiiwNcKQMNhZYNq6HDpfbgpV8LfT4iFD2tRBXyLUgfiYhxGbDrzWL0BT4HPP4UNTGFNM5OjkSzYCcWb7OuqUgwbLF9yih5xWEezbWXFL6YiIT0g/w400-h400/Nemesis+Games.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> </p><p><a href="https://multiup.org/ce2df9efe1d9a4371fe8f9507755644e">James S.A.

He is a member of the music groups Diamond Version with Olaf Bender (Byetone), Signal with Frank Bretschneider and Olaf Bender, Cyclo with Ryoji Ikeda, ANBB with Blixa Bargeld, ALPHABET with Anne-James Chaton. Opto with Thomas Knak, and Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto with whom he composed the score for the 2015 film The Revenant. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Carsten Nicolai, born 1965 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, is a German artist and musician based in Berlin. He is part of an artist generation who works intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science. In his work he seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man by making scientific phenomenons like sound and light frequencies perceivable for both eyes and ears. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematic patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, random and self-organizing structures. His installations have a minimalistic aesthetic that by its elegance and consistency is highly intriguing. After his participation in important international exhibitions like documenta X and the 49th and 50th Venice Biennale, Nicolai’s works were shown worldwide in extensive solo and group exhibitions.<br /><br />His artistic œuvre echoes in his work as a musician. For his musical outputs he uses the pseudonym Alva Noto. With a strong adherence to reductionism he leads his sound experiments into the field of electronic music creating his own code of signs, acoustics and visual symbols. Together with Olaf Bender and Frank Bretschneider he is co-founder of the label 'raster-noton. archiv für ton und nichtton'. Diverse musical projects include remarkable collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Ryoji Ikeda (cyclo.), Blixa Bargeld or Mika Vainio. Nicolai toured extensively as Alva Noto through Europe, Asia, South America and the US. Among others, he performed at the Solomon R.

They've been joined by Atsuhiro Ito, who uses the Optron -- an instrument of the musician's making described as modified fluorescent tubes that provide "noisist counterpart." When Bender and Nicolai formed Diamond Version, the two already had a long history of working together; beside Frank Bretschneider, they produced several releases under the name Signal. Signed to pioneering electronic music label Mute, Diamond Version debuted in September 2012 with EP1, a short set of pared-down but muscular techno. Additional numbered EPs of similar construction followed that November and December, as well as the following March and May. Leslie Winer, Kyoka, and Neil Tennant contributed vocals to a full-length album, CI, issued in 2014. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQuCwgVVE4aCOxHMjzL7Eo-_TsW73UoLNwsaGgvDy1a4H7IJlM2amCFEk8ZM65BDGvVlGT7pCbOZLpXO90ja0spPapBqyXvOF4SUdrK5dGRqnMmfLcr2i2cH1RNQKYGgLow/s712/Diamond+Version+-++CI.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVQuCwgVVE4aCOxHMjzL7Eo-_TsW73UoLNwsaGgvDy1a4H7IJlM2amCFEk8ZM65BDGvVlGT7pCbOZLpXO90ja0spPapBqyXvOF4SUdrK5dGRqnMmfLcr2i2cH1RNQKYGgLow/w400-h400/Diamond+Version+-++CI.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://multiup.org/ba334abc85f11c46d6295acdb509eacd"> Diamond Version - EP 1-3 </a> ( flac 536mb)<br /><br />01 Technology at the Speed of Life 7:36<br />02 Empowering Change 6:58<br />03 Empowering Change (Version) 3:00<br /> 1 <br /> <br />04 Science for a Better Life<br />05 Shift the Future<br />06 Forever New Frontiers <br /><br />05 Operate at Your Optimum 3:59<br />06 Sense and Simplicity 3:47<br />07 Make.believe 7:05<br />08 Get Yours (Martin L.

Rather than release their material on Raster-Noton, they signed with Daniel Miller's higher-profile Mute label. From September 2012 through May 2013, Bender and Nicolai issued five numbered EPs of pared-down, muscular techno. Rather refreshingly, there were no remixes; when the EPs were bundled later in 2013, a Martin Gore remix was added, but otherwise, the focus was on original material with tight quality control. CI, the first Diamond Version album, is a concise set that features edits of four tracks from the EPs: the driving neo-electro cut "Turn On Tomorrow," the gnashing "Science of a Better Life," the jittery "Make.Believe," and "Operate at Your Optimum," the last of which seamlessly incorporates noisy sounds from Atsuhiro Ito's Optron. The majority of the new tracks, like "Access to Excellence," "Raising the Bar," and "Connecting People," also have marketing slogan titles and seem even more physical since they're delivered in jolts briefer than those of the more dancefloor-oriented EPs. The duo also sought a handful of vocalists here. On opener "This Blank Action," Leslie Winer interjects with irritated barbs like "Congratulations on bein' a big fuckin' deal." Raster-Noton artist Kyoka adds more imposing phrases to "Feel the Freedom," the barest and most severe track on CI. As an instrumental, "Were You There" would easily fit into the album's fabric -- taut, irregular rhythms, hissing and probing effects -- but it involves an odd match with Neil Tennant's reading of the like-titled American spiritual. Otherwise, this is a fine exhibition of Bender and Nicolai's work in neatly condensed form. It isn't quite as thrilling as the EPs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIGdcdMNgzQnLZ6O1QuCctj9SoAHXcNvIS4ayraZ4TgjykV3PXKag5ru6FlT48wBvvVrl64tqx1rY6IRuoxSe6XrfGXfRHcFgg-NLCaDgzc54uS6AJdqMqE3WFl3DvHDywg/s712/Diamond+Version+-+EP4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdIGdcdMNgzQnLZ6O1QuCctj9SoAHXcNvIS4ayraZ4TgjykV3PXKag5ru6FlT48wBvvVrl64tqx1rY6IRuoxSe6XrfGXfRHcFgg-NLCaDgzc54uS6AJdqMqE3WFl3DvHDywg/w400-h400/Diamond+Version+-+EP4.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.imagenetz.de/Z3oZ4"> Diamond Version - CI</a> ( flac 277mb)<br /><br />01 This Blank Action 4:52<br />02 Access to Excellence 4:19<br />03 Turn on Tomorrow (CI) 4:49<br />04 Feel the Freedom 4:14<br />05 Raising the Bar 3:19<br />06 Were You There? 4:03<br />07 Operate at Your Optimum 3:35<br />08 Science for a Better Life (CI) 4:05<br />09 Connecting People 3:49<br />10 Make.Believe (CI) 6:11 <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />Though I've heard some people describe this as boring, Alva Noto himself said this is the most emotional music he's ever made, surprised at the level of depth from which the songs here on this third volume of the Xerrox series came. To me, it's quite the beautiful affair indeed, continuing the pattern set out by volumes 1 & 2 of the same series: lush ambient soundscapes, shifting synth-strings (or actual orchestration? sometimes it's hard to tell) and Noto's trademark glitchy noise, though this one relies far more on simple synthesized melodies that are surprisingly alluring and show that a great deal of care has gone into composing them. No doubt, it's vaguely classical, as if Ryuichi Sakamoto's piano work with Alva Noto and many similar artists were translated into a synth-exclusive environment. While I don't love everything the man does (and find most of his work a bit left-brained for my taste), this series is likely the deepest, most creative and expertly-executed music of his career.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv679k8vs1anqkA-Tggh_nkJR5KZpwjwmxPhwad5ZP2s-upAXFSstVKGVdi3vRNmRXP4rvhqJT6hQVyBu-4hYyVmLKBVeZX8_pYk3kdy3fIf10UTqu-elEJvgcN-E4nv1ORg/s865/xerrox+vol+3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="865" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv679k8vs1anqkA-Tggh_nkJR5KZpwjwmxPhwad5ZP2s-upAXFSstVKGVdi3vRNmRXP4rvhqJT6hQVyBu-4hYyVmLKBVeZX8_pYk3kdy3fIf10UTqu-elEJvgcN-E4nv1ORg/w278-h400/xerrox+vol+3.jpg" width="278" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/14UENGPS"> Alva Noto -Xerrox 3.</a> ( flac 252mb)<br /><br />01 Xerrox Atmosphere 1:23<br />02 Xerrox Helm Transphaser 6:45<br />03 Xerrox 2ndevol 3:44<br />04 Xerrox Radieuse 6:00<br />05 Xerrox 2ndevol2nd 5:05<br />06 Xerrox Isola 8:07<br />07 Verrox Solphaer 6:09<br />08 Xerrox Mesosphere 5:55<br />09 Xerrox Spark 6:10<br />10 Xerrox Spiegel 3:33<br />11 Xerrox Exosphere 3:48 <br /><br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35113493.post-2360335312692174502021-04-24T04:19:00.005+02:002021-04-26T18:02:03.543+02:00RhoDeo 2116 Grooves The Roots<p> Hello, <br /><br /><br />Today's Artists One of the most prolific rap groups, were also among the most progressive acts in contemporary music, from their 1993 debut through their conceptual 2010s releases. Despite the seemingly archaic practice of functioning as a rap band with several instrumentalists -- from 2007 onward, their lineup even featured a sousaphonist -- they were ceaselessly creative, whether with their own material or through their varied assortment of collaborations. They went platinum and gold with successive studio releases and won a handful of Grammy Awards. After they gained a nightly nationwide audience through a close partnership with television host Jimmy Fallon, they continued to challenge listeners with works free of genre restrictions..

Playing around school, on the sidewalk, and later at talent shows (with ?uestlove's drum kit backing Black Thought's rhymes), the pair began to earn money and hooked up with bassist Hub (Leon Hubbard) and rapper Malik B. Moving from the street to local clubs, the Roots became a highly tipped underground act around Philadelphia and New York. When they were invited to represent stateside hip-hop at a concert in Germany, the Roots recorded an album to sell at shows; the result, Organix, was released in May 1993 on Remedy Records. With a music industry buzz surrounding their activities, the Roots entertained offers from several labels before signing with DGC that same year.<br /><br />Do You Want More?!!!??! The Roots' first major-label album, Do You Want More?!!!??!, was released in January 1995. Forsaking usual hip-hop protocol, the record was produced without any samples or previously recorded material. It peaked just outside the Top 100 of the Billboard 200 and made more tracks in alternative circles, partly due to the Roots playing the second stage at Lollapalooza that summer. The band also journeyed to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. Two of the guests on the album who had toured around with the band, human beatbox Rahzel the Godfather of Noyze -- previously a performer with Grandmaster Flash and LL Cool J -- and Scott Storch (later replaced by Kamal Gray), became permanent members of the group.<br /><br />Illadelph Halflife Early in 1996, the Roots released "Clones," the trailer single for their second album. It hit the rap Top Five, and created a good buzz. That September, Illadelph Halflife appeared and made number 21 on the Billboard 200. Much like its predecessor, though, the Roots' second LP was a difficult listen. It made several very small concessions to mainstream rap -- the bandmembers sampled material that they had recorded earlier at jam sessions -- but failed to make a hit of their unique sound. Their third album, February 1999's Things Fall Apart, was easily their biggest critical and commercial success. Released on MCA, it went platinum, and "You Got Me" -- a collaboration with Erykah Badu -- peaked within the Top 40 and subsequently won a Grammy in the category of Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group.<br /><br />Phrenology The long-awaited Phrenology was released in November 2002 amid rumors of the Roots losing interest in their label arrangements with MCA. In 2004, the band remedied the situation by creating the Okayplayer company. Named after their website, Okayplayer included a record label and a production/promotion company. The same year, the band held a series of jam sessions to give their next album a looser feel. The results were edited down to ten tracks and released in July 2004 as The Tipping Point, supported by Geffen. A 2004 concert from Manhattan's Webster Hall with special guests like Mobb Deep, Young Gunz, and Jean Grae was issued in February 2005 as The Roots Present in both CD and DVD formats. Two volumes of the rarities-collecting Home Grown! The Beginner's Guide to Understanding the Roots appeared at the end of the year.<br /><br />Game Theory A subsequent deal with Def Jam fostered a series of riveting, often grim sets, beginning with Game Theory (August 2006) and Rising Down (April 2008). In 2009, the group expanded their reach as the exceptionally versatile house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The new gig didn't slow their recording schedule; in 2010 alone, they released the sharp How I Got Over (June), as well as Wake Up! (September), where they backed John Legend on covers of socially relevant soul classics like Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes' "Wake Up Everybody" and Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy." It earned Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album and Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance. As they remained with Fallon, the Roots worked with Miami soul legend Betty Wright on November 2011's Betty Wright: The Movie, and followed it the next month with their 13th studio long-player, Undun, an ambitious concept album whose main character dies in the first track and then follows his life backward.<br /><br />Wise Up Ghost and Other Songs Work on the group's next studio LP was postponed as an unexpected duet album with Elvis Costello took priority for the group in 2013. Originally planned as a reinterpretation of Costello's songbook, the record Wise Up Ghost turned into a full-fledged collaboration and was greeted by positive reviews upon its September 2013 release on Blue Note. Within six months, the band joined Jimmy Fallon in his new late-night slot, the high-profile Tonight Show program. Another concept album, the brief but deep ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, was released in May 2014. Rapper Malik B., a fixture on the Roots' early albums, died on July 29, 2020, at the age of 47.<br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Roots' low-profile debut set out many of the themes they would employ over the course of their successful career. An intro, "The Roots Is Comin'," is barely over a minute long, yet long enough to exemplify the band's funky bassline (here played by Leonard Hubbard), their dreamy and emotional organ chords (thanks to Scott Storch), and their ferociously swift yet clear rhymes from the group's focal MC Black Thought. The song that follows, "Pass the Popcorn" would have been called a "posse cut" in 1993. Everyone could've used a little more practice before stepping up to the mic on this song, but the spirit of the song are not lost in the amateurishness. The creative venture "Writers Block" is an example of just the opposite, as Black Thought flows with spoken word, comically and creatively expressing the experience of a day in the life of a Philadelphian using mass transit. The instrumentation is appropriately frantic and punctuated by [cymbal] crashes (like any mass transit system). Fans of Do You Want More, the Roots album released immediately following Organix, will recognize the music of "I'm Out Deah," "Leonard I-V," and "Essawhamah?" Another track to note is "The Session (Longest Posse Cut in History)," -- no false claim at 12 minutes and 43 seconds. This album should be a part of any Roots fan's collection -- not so much because it is an example of their artistry at its best, but because it allows you to see where they came from and how fruitful of a journey it's been. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5v9KLwXeYESsVHORXwlZB0_8RTaCBJd1qnu4xRhgFgJaBMr8k5VaNqqCUfZ0GZIqMFqUVhLJGVlWtXHj5yKZyxVItyiYD2zthnas1KA6ZW_iaKdjtO19WXq_MeZDu9D-Jw/s712/The+Roots+-+Organix+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5v9KLwXeYESsVHORXwlZB0_8RTaCBJd1qnu4xRhgFgJaBMr8k5VaNqqCUfZ0GZIqMFqUVhLJGVlWtXHj5yKZyxVItyiYD2zthnas1KA6ZW_iaKdjtO19WXq_MeZDu9D-Jw/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Organix+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://bayfiles.com/pcebLcsfu8/Th_Rts_Orgnx_zip"> The Roots - Organix </a> 355mb (flac 93)<br /><br />01 The Roots Is Comin' 1:17<br />02Pass the Popcorn 5:32<br />03 The Anti-Circle 3:48<br />04 Writer's Block 1:45<br />05 Good Music (Prelude) 1:00<br />06 Good Music 4:32<br />07 Grits 6:36<br />08 Leonard I-V 4:06<br />09 I'm Out Deah 4:11<br />10 ESSAWAMAH?

If ya don't know by now, you really need to. Because this album here is a fine display of jazzy, concious hip hop.<br /><br />There be two main fellas on the mic here. Black Thought and Malik B. Now, both these dudes can kick it on the microphone. They've got this energy that isn't equaled often... you know, when they lay down a rhyme, you really wanna listen to it. I wouldn't call them the end-all be-all of emcees. But the energy sure makes them sound tighter than otherwise. They'll be braggin' and battlin' but also laying down some thought-worthy shit (though not as much here as later). It's this kinda versatility that you wanna find in hip hop. Black Thought especially kicks the shit out of the album here. His style is totally unique and all to his own, and he does the sweet beats justice with his styles. Don't get me wrong, Malik is sweet, too, but it's kinda like Monch and Po.<br /><br />Dem beats, man. You gots ta like 'dem beats. Who could deny this shit? You can't find a better hybrid than this, honestly. One of the only hip hop groups that's actually... well, a group and not a crew. Black Thought and Malik B. are backed up by a tight group here playing live instruments. ?uestlove's drumming is particularly awesome here. There's a reason he's so well known and respected amongs the community. They kick the jazz here and let it flow and go, as it should be. The energy equals those two emcees, and energy in jazz is super-important. If they ain't giving their all, I'm not gonna wanna hear it. Well guess what? Every one of these musicians put in all they got and the result is a damn fine effort. Not to mention that each song sounds like it's own effort and not so much a continuous jam. Again, VERSATILITY!!! It's key.<br /><br />Now, there's not much to call weak here. Nope. BUT, there are a couple of things that bothered me. Particularly the last four or five tracks. I wouldn't call most of 'em weak, but they don't live up to the first half of the album. Maybe it's just me, but my mind started wandering after Swept Away, only to be recaptured by Silent Treatment, and then wander again. Oh, and that last track... whoa. The first time you hear it, you won't know what to make of it. The Unlocking is a spoken-word with guest Ursula Rucker. Hmmmm... I'll let you figure this one out for yourself, because it's almost impossible to describe it. Just know you'll probably either love it or hate it.<br /><br />The ending result? A classic east-coast jazz-rap album with enough energy to power Manhattan. I don't mean Manhatten, Kansas either. I'm talking the big one.

Composed of six long tracks (four later included in the second studio album, released in 1995), for a total of almost 33 minutes of listening, the record features the rapping of Black Thought supported by the band and some scattered vocal contributions performed by the other members of the group, including Malik B, MC Ni and B.R.O.THER.?, one of the first names of Questlove. The tape boasts excellent jazzy rhythms, boom bap, slow and solid drums and a generally simple soundscape in order to highlight the slow, smooth, syncopated and calm delivery of the major performer, at times dope. To note the contributions of guests Steve Coleman, Graham Haynes, Josh Roseman and Rusuf Harley, who respectively provide sax, trumpet, trombone and bagpipes, while the sax in "Worldwide (London Groove)" is that of Steve Williamson. Some cuts are better than others, however, it's not an essential release.

I would say that they improved, but that wouldn't seem right. There's no way that two rappers could improve their rapping skills that much in one year. Maybe they were always that talented, but they were holding out on us. Anyway, if you couldn't tell, these lyrics are great. Actually, great would be an understatement. Lyrically, Illadelph Halflife is on the level of Illmatic and Soul On Ice. You can hardly compare the lyrical content of this album to that of Illmatic and Soul On Ice, but I'm basically saying that Illadelph Halflife is the third best hip hop album, lyrically, of all time in my opinion. On this album, Black Thought and Malik B remind me of Pharoahe Monch and Prince Po of Organized Konfusion. Black Thought is like Pharoahe because he's the better rapper, and he almost always outshines Malik B. Malik is like Prince Po because he's also a great rapper, but he isn't given enough credit because Black Thought is better. That's basically the way it goes for this album. Malik can have a sick verse, but it either doesn't live up to Black Thought's verse earlier in the song, or Black Thought delivers a much better verse right afterwards.<br /><br />Earlier in the review, I mentioned this album as a "transformation." The reason for that is that The Roots aren't all fun and games any more. Prior to Illadelph Halflife, The Roots' lyrics had more to do with having fun. This album is a little bit darker. Don't worry. They didn't go completely "thug" or anything like that. There's more rapping about street life, there's more conscious hip hop, and during all of it, they're lyrically killing it. It doesn't matter what they're rapping about. On THIS album, they're gonna kill it.<br /><br />As if the lyrics weren't enough, the beats on Illadelph Halflife are classic smooth, jazzy boom bap. Boom bap is already my favorite type of hip hop production, so when it's combined with jazz, it's irresistable. This album is jazzy, but it's also darker than their first two albums, which fits with the lyrics. Another thing that's different about the production is that it doesn't sound as much like a band is playing the beats. It sounds more like a typical east coast album would in 1996. I think that Illadelph Halflife is the best produced album by The Roots.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5MEPZ2La4mvmXKy4gAz3IY53w5PAa-AIMPD-LglWJc-VFYQxmdrM05U-BcTdjQ0IbSZk1MRFnQ8Moz3FMBVnLnjM0czDKdxiVcuoudSr0ooh2PCfIRyOnAhXoE3O0SCFYw/s936/The+Roots+-+Illadelph+Halflife+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="935" data-original-width="936" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP5MEPZ2La4mvmXKy4gAz3IY53w5PAa-AIMPD-LglWJc-VFYQxmdrM05U-BcTdjQ0IbSZk1MRFnQ8Moz3FMBVnLnjM0czDKdxiVcuoudSr0ooh2PCfIRyOnAhXoE3O0SCFYw/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Illadelph+Halflife+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /> <br /><a href="https://multiup.org/15a33224ae64c85ce17bc17e115f171e "> The Roots - Illadelph Halflife </a> (flac min 473mb)<br /><br />01 Intro 0:36<br />02 Respond / React 5:09<br />03 Section 4:11<br />04 Panic!!!!! 1:26<br />05 It Just Don't Stop 4:35<br />06 Episodes 5:58<br />07 Push Up Ya Lighter 4:38<br />08 What They Do 5:58<br />09 ? vs. Scratch (The Token DJ Cut) 1:49<br />10 Concerto of the Desperado 3:40<br />11 Clones 4:56<br />12 UNIverse at War 4:57<br />13 No Alibi 5:13<br />14 Dave vs. US 0:52<br />15 No Great Pretender 4:27<br />16 The Hypnotic 5:20<br />17 Ital (The Universal Side) 4:55<br />18 One Shine 5:42<br />19 The Adventures in Wonderland 4:36<br />20 Outro 0:15 <br /> <br /><br />xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />One of the cornerstone albums of alternative rap's second wave, Things Fall Apart was the point where the Roots' tremendous potential finally coalesced into a structured album that maintained its focus from top to bottom. If the group sacrifices a little of the unpredictability of its jam sessions, the resulting consistency more than makes up for it, since the record flows from track to track so effortlessly. Taking its title from the Chinua Achebe novel credited with revitalizing African fiction, Things Fall Apart announces its ambition right upfront, and reinforces it in the opening sound collage. Dialogue sampled from Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues implies a comparison to abstract modern jazz that lost its audience, and there's another quote about hip-hop records being treated as disposable, that they aren't maximized as product or as art. That's the framework in which the album operates, and while there's a definite unity counteracting the second observation, the artistic ambition actually helped gain the Roots a whole new audience ("coffeehouse chicks and white dudes," as Common puts it in the liner notes). The backing tracks are jazzy and reflective, filled with subtly unpredictable instrumental lines, and the band also shows a strong affinity for the neo-soul movement, which they actually had a hand in kick-starting via their supporting work on Erykah Badu's Baduizm. Badu returns the favor by guesting on the album's breakthrough single, "You Got Me," an involved love story that also features a rap from Eve, co-writing from Jill Scott, and an unexpected drum'n'bass breakbeat in the outro. Other notables include Mos Def on the playful old-school rhymefest "Double Trouble," Slum Village superproducer Jay Dee on "Dynamite!," and Philly native DJ Jazzy Jeff on "The Next Movement." But the real stars are Black Thought and Malik B, who drop such consistently nimble rhymes throughout the record that picking highlights is extremely difficult. Along with works by Lauryn Hill, Common, and Black Star, Things Fall Apart is essential listening for anyone interested in the new breed of mainstream conscious rap.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSb6n_oz4lLeBngmjYKpE0tvtAdk2Mls-J04pDdLIMIMQ05wurz_Nlpeqg1hagwi3elbJBpBXpq4OJ7pse6RmTCp1x2uZ7yncxPNyueBZZzPNgCShfrnmF3xCLrzTYIQo37A/s712/The+Roots+-+Things+Fall+Apart+-.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="712" data-original-width="712" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSb6n_oz4lLeBngmjYKpE0tvtAdk2Mls-J04pDdLIMIMQ05wurz_Nlpeqg1hagwi3elbJBpBXpq4OJ7pse6RmTCp1x2uZ7yncxPNyueBZZzPNgCShfrnmF3xCLrzTYIQo37A/w400-h400/The+Roots+-+Things+Fall+Apart+-.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://mir.cr/MCLDHWDS"> The Roots - Things Fall Apart </a> (flac 419mb)<br /><br />01 Act Won (Things Fall Apart) 0:56<br />02 Table of Contents (Parts 1 & 2) 3:39<br />03 The Next Movement 4:12<br />04 Step Into the Relm 2:51<br />05 The Spark 3:54<br />06 Dynamite! 4:47<br />07 Without a Doubt 4:16<br />08 Ain't Sayin' Nothin' New 4:36<br />09 Double Trouble 5:52<br />10 Act Too (The Love of My Life) 4:56<br />11 100% Dundee 3:55<br />12 Diedre vs. Dice 0:49<br />13 Adrenaline! 4:29<br />14 3rd Acts: ? vs. Scratch 2...

Tesla saw energy and electricity as an “incompressible fluid” of constant quantity that could neither be destroyed nor created.<br /><br /> If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.<br /><br />— Nikola Tesla<br /><br />xxxxx<br /><br /><br />Charged vortices erupting from the Sun can form relatively dark cavities.<br /><br />Recently, much has been made about a so-called “black sphere connected to the Sun.” Outlandish claims that a solid object was in close solar orbit, “feeding” off the photospheric plasma, have appeared in various places on the internet.<br /><br />The Sun is a ball of plasma approximately 1.4 million kilometers in diameter. As such, it tends to behave electromagnetically and not according to thermal or mechanical physics. The Sun is the locus of positive charge with respect to the Interstellar Medium (ISM), a stream of high-energy particles, or plasma, flowing through our galaxy. A magnetically confined bubble known as the heliosphere isolates the Sun from the ISM.<br /><br />Laboratory experiments with a positively charged sphere show that a plasma torus forms above the Sun’s equator. Electric discharges known as sunspots sometimes bridge the torus with the Sun’s middle and lower latitudes, punching holes through the photosphere.<br /><br />Rotating filaments of plasma can be seen in the penumbrae of sunspots, indicating that they are whirling charge vortices. Since electric discharges in plasma create rope-like, hollow tendrils, they form into funnels of plasma with dark centers. Since the penumbral filaments have a helical structure that maintain a constant diameter, they might be thought of as glowing plasma tornadoes. Rapidly spinning tubes of charged particles produce a powerful magnetic field, causing the particles to concentrate at the periphery of the vortex. Looking through these semi-transparent tubes of glowing plasma side-on, the edges appear bright, while the center is dark.<br /><br />Coronal arches and multiple looping electromagnetic structures connect sunspots to each other, rising high enough to penetrate the chromosphere. The chromosphere is also a double layer region of the Sun, or plasma sheath, formed by the current flowing between the Sun and its environment. When the electric charges flowing through the Sun’s plasma sheath reach a critical threshold, the double layer may explode, causing solar flares and enormous prominence eruptions.<br /><br />Electric Universe theory assumes that celestial bodies interact through conductive plasma and are connected by circuits, so the Sun is assumed to be electrically connected with the galaxy. The Sun’s input power is not stable, however. The charges flowing into and out of the Sun can sometimes increase to the point where it releases solar flares or coronal mass ejections (CME).<br /><br />Solar flares are equivalent to tremendous lightning bursts on the Sun, pushing masses of plasma outward for millions of kilometers. Those plasma bursts are also helical in nature, sometimes containing darker voids within them. Since the structures are electromagnetically confined, they can be quasi-stable in the Sun’s atmosphere for minutes or even hours. The bubble within the CME shown at the top of the page is a normal plasma structure that lasted for over two days.<br /><br />Whenever phenomena on the Sun are considered, its tremendous size must also factor in. Plasma phenomena are scalable up to many orders of magnitude. What can be modeled in laboratory experiments might take milliseconds, but when those activities are scaled to over a million kilometers, they might remain visible for a relatively long time.<br /><br />Stephen Smith<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />A striking example of so-called settled science which was settled prematurely is the question of how the moon got its craters. As we entered the Space Age, the debate among geologists and astronomers only considered two hypotheses — impacts, and volcanism. After Apollo astronauts returned lunar samples to Earth, analysis revealed a tremendous portion of the material was composed of shocked and welded minerals.<br /><br />Thus, the impact origin of lunar craters became the consensus scientific theory, and remains so today. Of course, like so much settled science, the dilemma was settled without the successful resolution of countless anomalies. <br /><br />In this episode, we explore the growing scientific evidence that interplanetary lightning bolts carved the lunar surface.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZeDIWaZ__o4" width="402" youtube-src-id="ZeDIWaZ__o4"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br />https://youtu.be/ZeDIWaZ__o4<br /><br />xxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx<br /><br />The Expanse is a series of science fiction novels (and related novellas and short stories) by James S. A. Corey, the joint pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. The first novel, Leviathan Wakes, was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2012. The series as a whole was nominated for the Best Series Hugo Award in 2017.<br /><br />As of 2019, The Expanse is made up of eight novels and eight shorter works - three short stories and five novellas. At least nine novels were planned, as well as two more novellas. The series was adapted for television by the Syfy Network, also under the title of The Expanse, then they dropped the ball despite the succes of the series, i suspect the whole thing got too serious (expensive) so once again Syfy network proved they can't handle success. Anyway fans were outraged and got Amazon Prime to pick it up for a fourth and fifth series and considering the mountain of money Jeff Bezos sits on i suspect several more as long as the fans keep cheering.<br /><br />The Expanse is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System, but does not have interstellar travel. In the asteroid belt and beyond, tensions are rising between Earth's United Nations, Mars, and the outer planets.<br /><br />The series initially takes place in the Solar System, using many real locations such as Ceres and Eros in the asteroid belt, several moons of Jupiter, with Ganymede and Europa the most developed, and small science bases as far out as Phoebe around Saturn and Titania around Uranus, as well as well-established domed settlements on Mars and the Moon.<br /><br />As the series progresses, humanity gains access to thousands of new worlds by use of the ring, an artificially sustained Einstein-Rosen bridge or wormhole, created by a long dead alien race. The ring in our solar system is two AU from the orbit of Uranus, and passing through it leads to a hub of starless space approximately one million kilometers across, with more than 1,300 other rings, each with a star system on the other side. In the center of the hub, which is also referred to as the "slow zone", an alien space station controls the gates and can also set instantaneous speed limits on objects inside of the hub as a means of defense.<br /><br /><br />The story is told through multiple main point-of-view characters. There are two POV characters in the first book and four in books 2 through 5. In the sixth and seventh books, the number of POV characters increases, with several characters having only one or two chapters. Tiamat's Wrath returns to a more limited number with five. Every book also begins and ends with a prologue and epilogue told from a unique character's perspective. <br /><br />Novels<br /># Title Pages Audio <br />1 Leviathan Wakes 592 20h 56m <br />2 Caliban's War 595 21h <br />3 Abaddon's Gate 539 19h 42m <br />4 Cibola Burn 583 20h 7m<br />5 Nemesis Games 544 16h 44m <br />6 Babylon's Ashes 608 19h 58m <br />7 Persepolis Rising 560 20h 34m <br />8 Tiamat's Wrath 544 19h 8m <br />9 Unnamed final novel <br /><br />xxxxx <br /><br />Nemesis Games is a 2015 science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey, the pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, and the fifth book in their The Expanse series. It is the sequel to Cibola Burn. The cover art is by Daniel Dociu.[Nemesis Games received positive reviews. Andrew Liptak of io9 called the novel "Corey’s 'Empire Strikes Back'".<br /><br />Synopsis<br /><br />The Rocinante is down for long-term maintenance after the events of Cibola Burn. Three crew members decide to take care of some personal business during the down time. Amos Burton heads to Earth when he learns someone important from his past there has died, to pay his respects and to make sure no foul play was involved. Alex Kamal heads to Mars in the hopes of getting closure with his ex-wife and to see Bobbie while there. Naomi Nagata heads to Ceres station, when she receives a message that her son Filip is in trouble. While Jim Holden supervises repairs to the Rocinante, he is enlisted by Monica Stuart to investigate disappearing colony ships.<br /><br />Facing collapse by the exodus of colony ships through the rings, militant factions of the OPA coalesce into a Free Navy and simultaneously wreak havoc on Earth as they try to kill the Martian Prime Minister and Fred Johnson. Amos survives the attacks on Earth, frees Clarissa Mao and escapes to Luna with her help and the help of Baltimore organized crime acquaintances from his old life. Alex meets Bobbie on Mars and they investigate missing Martian military equipment and ships, which leads them into the middle of the assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Naomi is kidnapped by her ex-lover Marco, leader of the Free Navy, but manages to escape; Alex and Bobbie rescue her.<br /><br />The crew reunites on the Rocinante. What's left of the Earth, Mars and the non-militant OPA government meet on Luna. Naomi finally tells Jim about her violent past. Amos asks that Clarissa stay as his apprentice. The Free Navy has encamped past the belt and is preventing anyone from going through the rings.
