An ephemeris (plural: ephemerides; from the Greek word ephemeros "daily") is a table of values that gives the positions of objects in the sky at a given time or times. The position is given in a spherical polar coordinate system of right ascension and declination or in logitude along the zodiacal ecliptic, and sometimes declination.
The ephemeris paramaters relate to eclipses, apparent retrogradation/planetary stations, planetary ingresses, sidereal time, positions & the phases of the Moon, Cartesian coordinates, picnic on Mars, breakfast on Jupiter and disturbing jetlags.
... Is the introduction to the second album from our friends Solar Fields and Aes Dana. Ultimately, any release that I've anticipated this much has [Movements] as a direct comparisant, and without doubt, it's hard to match. Nevertheless, this is great trip-hop, ambient, and a bit of progressive trance. You definitively can hear a lot of Aes Dana's latest work, and ephemeris features interesting effects added to guitarplay. In fact, I'm enjoying the progression that Magnus seems to experience with guitarplay. Ambient pads can be tweaked from an acoustic guitar to sound amazing, and this is one step further, beyond any doubt. There's something about [Distances], something sublime and experimental at the same time. I'd say this is a quite strong release from HUVA network, and there are several interesting bits to it.. It matches their first album, and it's a very solid release. I'm very sure this one will be an excellent companion through the following springtime.

Greetings !
We are shipping the packages containing H.U.V.A. Network's new album today.
We noticed a bug on the booklet; the printer is going to make new ones which we should receive next week.
We will then send it to you in a letter so you can swap and have a good looking one.
With our warm regards from Lyon where Spring is showing the tip of its nose J
Sarah, Vince and Sunny
Am I the only one who's thinking "collectability" here?
Lets see what happens in 20 years.. :posford:

Going to London to hear them again! What a great show it was last time, I had more fun than I've had in ages. And the afterparty was rockin'. Doing the dub-drunk dance with Ott playing Joyful Wonder... Goodness.

We were thinking of flying down for a long weekend catching hallucinogen live at the coronet in london, the place where the shpongle 2008 afterparty took place.. But man, it's just so expensive. The whole thing would cost probably 4-500 pounds at the end of the day.. And I'm catching Shpongle live in October.
Sucks to be outside UK when my ears are hungry for Posford live.
Did anyone think of making a t-shirt saying "Posfordjugent"?

The Fall - watched after you guyses recommendation - And I loved it. What a movie....
This is absolutely 10/10. One of the very best movies I've seen in years, and I enjoyed it twice as much as Slumdog - which also was very good.

Lately I've had #4 Sky Trees as my favourite.. This is such a great album.
But, what's happening here?
the track that feels most "happy" is to me "Bungalo", this is also..

I like the cover. Embrace the awful and the beautiful. Kitch.
There's more irony to these chaps than meets the eye.

The review sections here is a good indicator - but I worry when I see releases I really like having gotten close to zero attention. I mostly follow releases from labels I'm into.
I hate the feeling that I'm missing out on great music, cause I love it so. :drama:

Curious Case of Benjamin Button
1.5 / 10
Spoiler: AT NO POINT WHATSOEVER does it matter (both for the plotline and themes) that he's getting younger instead of getting older.
Shoddy acting from pitt, and the lord of the rings lady. Horrible CGI effects on his face. Way, way too long. Ugh. Avoid.
Slumdog Millionaire
9/10
Excellent acting, music, directing!!, editing.. a very nice movie
Solaris
9/10
This movie is the visual part of every Ultimae Records release.. i say no more. :posford:

I stopped watching after they went on that boat and found that black guy again.
Can anyone tell me in a few sentences what has happened since?
Are they having polar bear burgers yet?
-
Has anoyne seen this one? It's a masterpiece from start to finish. No plotline, just visual artistry with an immense sountrack..
"Without words, cameras show us the world, with an emphasis not on "where," but on "what's there." It begins with morning, natural landscapes and people at prayer: volcanoes, water falls, veldts, and forests; several hundred monks do a monkey chant. Indigenous peoples apply body paint; whole villages dance. The film moves to destruction of nature via logging, blasting, and strip mining. Images of poverty, rapid urban life, and factories give way to war, concentration camps, and mass graves. Ancient ruins come into view, and then a sacred river where pilgrims bathe and funeral pyres burn. Prayer and nature return. A monk rings a huge bell; stars wheel across the sky"

Q: If you had to choose a movie to make a soundtrack to, what would it be?
My music is very visual so I guess a very visual kind of movie, the one that immediately springs to mind is Baraka.
(A similar movie to this one is called "Koyaanitsqatsi")

Sacre Bleu! Great news!

You've narrowed down this group of people as they've got both a computer and internet. As a student, or a person with an internet bill, probably a job or a student loan. Where there's an income there are priorities. That's why buying CD's could be prioritized over something else. That's why I don't buy your argument.

Malevolent.
I love your idea of duplicating other necessities for humans. I've dwelt in that theory myself, mainly because it *perfectly* illustrates the reality and problem with illegal downloading. Here goes. You've got a duplication machine in your pocket - you enter the grocery store, fill your bags with duplicated groceries and leave everything as it was in the store, but also leaving with full bags of groceries. The work put in producing the original groceries is unrewarded - and through the capitalist system, you have not deserved what you've left with. The grocery store has lost profit, but not *money*. This is a direct parallell to p2p - it circumvenes capitalism, and since that's the system that everything else is based on - whatever you may feel about capitalism - that's what we've got, and that's what we ultimately have to bend to. I'm a born realist, and a pragmatist. And if the goal is to change our capitalist ways, then you've got to do it from the ground up, not from the top.
It seems to me that free ownership of objects and information is a natural part of our evolution.
Hmm.. Evolution.. Science.. Communist utopia.. I'm not sure how they're *naturally* in harmony. Care to elaborate?
Why shouldn't there be a choice? Shouldn't that be a fundamental right for everyone - to have the ability to choose their own way of living? People assume that they should do what the majority of people are allready doing. But that's no way of living a life, not in my book.
(Here comes the pragmatist again): Sure, people may choose whatever lifestyle they like; and if they would want to completely get out of the capitalist society -fine, but don't expect me to pay for your unemployment, your hospital bill, your snowshoveling or anything else.. There should equally be a balance between those who contribute and not - of course with the exception of those who can't.
If the money system was something that actually worked, in a way that it awarded people who genuienly give their efforts for something that is considered a 'good deed', then the answer would be: Yes,
Huh? Why doesn't it work? Be very careful when comparing the "money system" and the people using it... Capitalism in principle is great - it's people's greed that messes it up. That goes for many other things too.
However, it's the exact opposite. And my answer is No, it's not wrong. I'll contribute in any other way that I know of and when I can. I'll rather have friends then mercenaries. And I'm not selfish, I allways help out whenever someone needs that help and when I know I can give the help that's needed. Feeding the system with more money would, in my view, only contribute to an even greater addiction to the money system, which is corrupt in it's every form.
What gives you the right to pick and choose how and when to "help out" and "contribute"? Considering p2p downloading - that's an option you have because you *CAN* download music. If you *COULD* steal the orange juice in the grocery store, you could equally tell the clerk that - no, today I choose not to support and help you out, but tomorrow I might! Don't you see that downloading gives an artificial 'choice' that should never be there? p2p and corruption in capitalism is just the same - it's controlled by human greed, because there's an option to do so.
Note: i use the "you" form as objective "you". (a person).

I'm reading through the latest posts and I see good argumentation and bad argumentation.
There's a pretty twisted morality that says 'stealing from the rich is less immoral than stealing from the poor' - I remember discussing this with Ott on isratrance where he claimed downloading his album was morally worse than downloading Britney's latest.
Another thing; the "oh so poor, romanticized music lover who just can't seem to scrape together money for *ANY* of the music they so happen to have to download illegally" is a farce at best. Give me a break. I can use myself as an example - downloading movies and apps - I couldn't care less. I can afford it, but I just couldn't care less to buy it. Now, for music - I could never ever download an album illegally,- I guess I'm emotionally attached, obliged, something.
The compact stick could never beat the CD in popularity as it doesn't offer *anything* that the CD doesn't have - this is contrasted between LP's and CD's, and the difference between those. Legal downloading doesn't offer anything different either - except accessability.
NEMO:
At the end of the day though, people that can not afford music are no harm to the industry, cause they do not pirate cause they do not want to contribute, they just can NOT. If everyone in the world would be able to pay the crazy prices we do for music, Piracy would not exist.
By this you're saying that piracy DOES exist because *few/none* of the people in the world CAN afford the "crazy prices" for music. I think this is overtly naïve. Piracy exists because people's relationship with aquiring music is now through downloading. PAYING for music just doesn't enter the average person's mind nowadays. That's why we have piracy. I'd say 1-2% of people downloading do it because they really, really can't afford the music.

iTunes tells me i'm on my 8th run right now. Timeless music....

This is by far the most technically complex album by Solar Fields to date. It's the perfect mixture between his other ambient albums; I think he touches every one of them. Still he's heavily exploring an even more modern sound. It's his best album to date, and I can only hope 2009 brings us something even more exciting and awe-inspiring, although I doubt it with every bone in my body.
This album demands active listening. This is truly a masterpiece. I feel really, really excited about this album. I feel really excited about Solar Fields and the direction and progression he has displayed even since Reflective Frequencies. I can't wait to hear this live. I can't wait to listen to this throughout the summer of 2009.
-
Yesterday night I came to the conclusion that Movements is the perfect combination of Reflective Frequencies, Blue Moon Station,
Leaving Home and Extended. Just even more 'modern', and rhytmic. Granted, I was in a.. psychedelic mindset. "The Stones are not too busy" seemed like an extremely insightful title at the time.
I'm happy to say it's his best album yet.

This is probably within top 5 albums ever.
