Weird, I started writing review for them & they didn't want detailed reviews, they wanted exactly what you write

Artist: Tetsu Inoue Title: Ambiant Otaku Label: Fax +49-69/450464 Released: 28 March 1994 Tracklist 1 Karmic Light (17:04) 2 Low Of Vibration (11:11) 3 Ambiant Otaku (10:49) 4 Holy Dance (15:36) 5 Magnetic Field (17:47) Ambiant Otaku by Tetsu Inoue is a classic in ambient. For me it embodies the early nineties ambient feel of long dreamy ambient made for eating stars. Any listen to this album always takes me into deep space. But not a cold void like we all imagine space to be but a warm bright space, like being close enough to a star to feel warm but not burnt, close enough that it lights up your emotions. Karmic Light takes me right to that place and holds me in its warm dreamy drones, the light of the other stars in the universe twinkling brightly in the canopy of black nothingness. Low Of Vibration feels to me like a spaceship passing by the sun I am trying to eat. The length of the ship is long and it vibrates roughly as it passes by, engines roaring and machine parts whirling incomprehensibly all the time, the stars still shine on my other side. The title Track Ambiant Otaku has a simple melody that repeats over and over and sounds very ominous. This feels darker than before but I still feel like I am wrapped up in my protective cocoon drifting through deep space. This track with all its repetitive yet hypnotizing sounds makes me feel like I am drifting for centuries through deep dark space in a small pod waiting for the light again. Holy Dance feels like I have reached somewhere, civilization. Right from the start there is a warmer more real feeling and the vocal choir gives that a more civilized touch. I can imagine I have landed on some alien planet; eternal warm night fills the whole landscape. More rhythmical with some pieces of bass, one very fat that rattles my head. Repetitive & hypnotic again, this track feels like some kind of ritual, on an alien world that I have the fortune to witness. We finish off this masterful journey with Magnetic Field a beautiful track to end on. It is melodic and much more terrestrial than the rest of the journey. I feel like deep space & alien worlds are all gone and I am back in the city with a sense of melancholy that my amazing journey is coming to an end. It is a very soft track, light and melodic like the first but it feels much more urban. In the background I can hear police sirens and the drones just have a soft, early morning in the city feel to them. A brilliant CD from start to finish, Ambiant Otaku is a must in any ambient lover’s collection. This has been out of print for a long time & even the re-release is hard to find, I was very luck to find this in a used record store very cheap, it just seemed to jump out at me. If you see it pick it up, even if you are not an ambient fan, you could make someone who is very happy.

Books would be good

Tetsu Inoue - Karmic Light would be perfect if I was eating this...

Artist: Kaya Project Title: …And So It Goes Label: Interchill Released: 21 November 2008 Tracklist 1 Always Waiting 2 Jamming With Marco 3 Deep Kaya 4 Zema Lasu 5 The Source 6 Five Plus Eight 7 Saranghi Breaks 8 Hirajoshi 9 ...& So It Goes 10 Shifting Sands 11 Dark Roads 12 Obsidian Beats 13 Drift 14 Awaken 15 Bekhudi 16 Outside Looking In 17 Under The Spell Seb Taylor brings us the third studio album under the alias Kaya Project …And So It Goes. Anyone who is familiar with Seb’s previous work under Kaya Project will probably know what to expect. It is a very ethnic but very well produced album; there are lots of vocals in different languages. There is of course a blend of acoustic instruments, vocals & electronic production, the instruments, coming from a range of international musicians and the vocals mainly from Natasha Chamberlain the UK based vocalist who many might have heard on the Angel Tears’ albums. The result is a very colourful album, both serious & fun at the same time. I very much enjoy listening to this album on a sunny day, lying in the park looking up at the sky I can imagine I have been taken away to distant lands as I could with the other Kaya Project albums. The places this takes me too though are different, whereas the last album had an eastern feel to it this one in my mind gives me a feeling of being far south on the African continent. From the tribal beats to the warm colourful sounds and the vocals I get that feeling of savanna plains, jungles and vast expanses of nature. That I always imagine Africa to be sunny & hot goes in very well with the warm bright feeling of this album. Although the whole album is very coherent and paints a journey for us to enjoy as a whole each track is quite different from the rest, the tempo goes up and down creating a relaxed roller coaster ride. The different instruments & variety of vocalists make each track uniquely enjoyable. Seb’s production though brings all this uniqueness into one coherent journey that is incredible from start to finish. If you enjoyed the previous too albums then you shouldn’t be disappointed with this one. If you’d like a warm ethnic album that is masterfully produced by one of the scenes most consistent producers using a host of other high quality musicians and instruments then you will definitely like this album. I think the wonderful cover is a good reflection of the music, the vibrant colours and natural image with a warm yet slightly dark edge show up so often in my mind as I listen to this album. All the tracks here are great but for me even on a great album like this there are standouts. Randolph Matthews’ vocals on Zema Lasu, Shifting Sounds and Outside Looking In are absolutely fantastic, he has one of those voices that sound like silk when he sings and these vocals wrap me up in a warm sheet and never fail to sooth away any stress I have. His 3 tracks are probably my favourites on the album. Deeyah’s vocals in The Source are I think the total opposite to Matthew’s but no less pleasant. They are funkier like the rest of the track, more high pitched and upbeat with a strange quality not quite human. The title track for me sums up the album quite nicely; it is eclectic yet ordered so that all the elements come together in an orchestra of warm relaxed moods. The beats are very tribal with many sporadic elements underneath the main melody & bassline, a smattering of flutes & vocals that seem only to say “Hey” adds up to a strange yet very enjoyable track. Obsidian Beats is a wonderful mixture of earthy & ethereal sounds. I can picture in my minds eye an ancient tribal ritual summoning ancestor spirits from beyond the veil. The vocals sound to me very twisted and trippy, very nice. The last track Under The Spell really does put me under a spell, the most relaxed track on the album, it is very beautiful and Natasha’s vocals are entrancing. It’s perfect end to such a great album.

WTF? That has to be the weirdest spam ever edit: spam's gone As for the Heavy Metal Goa, I quite like it. Not really my style but pretty cool none the less

It is not Rowan Atkinson that you want to kill but all the stupid fucks that venerated his worst ever character Mr. Bean. Black Adder is and always will be one of the best comedies ever.

I think so. Daylight is so much creepier mainly because it's where you usually feel safe so when there is something wrong about the daylight it feels much scarier
