ATTENTION ATTENTION: Genox just released a new awesome single, called “Transatlantic Fiberglass“. =) YAAAAY! A very special track with a very special theme. Check it out right now and enjoy the magical transatlantic trip it takes you on. I know it took me on quite a trip… =)
Yeah well. Dark days…. terrible mood and everything…sucks royally. But these oldie Genox tracks are still fun to play around with. 😛
Great news everyone, another super single was just released by Genox. This time around, it appears that we’re going to have a ride through the red deserts of Mars! So enjoy the stunning “Various Shades Of Red“. 🙂
Update: And of course check out the “Various Shades Of Purple” that was just released.
There’s music I like, there’s music that can make me happy, and then, there’s music that can take me to the 7th heaven. Well of course the last category is the most difficult to find. That’s why when an artist who can create that certain kind of music, releases a single track after a period of absence, that’s definitely the cause for some serious excitement on my side! 🙂 Wonder what I’m talking about? SURPRISE SURPRISE people, Genox just released a new single! YAY! I’ve been listening to this same track over and over and over again since last night, and I have absolutely no words to describe it. I might have said “incredible”, but that just doesn’t cut it. So check it out for yourself, and experience the effects of “Various Shades Of Blue“. 🙂
Update: Ok it seems like Genox just uploaded a whole bunch of his tracks, which you can access through his blog. So… check it out! 🙂
First of all, a note to the guys and gals who asked for the Distillery photos. I’ve now posted a few of those in my phlog. Just for you. 🙂
With regards to amv’s comment on the last post, the Demovibes website seems to be up and about now: www.demovibes.org
What else….oh yeah. In my on going scene-music diggage, I finally found…well… let me try to explain to you what I found. The Assembly 2006 freestyle music competition happened on around 7:45 of a Saturday morning [Toronto time]. So I was half asleep when the competition started, and I was watching the web-tv on my notebook in bed. I remember hearing this fantastic song that took my breath away, but somewhere in between my struggle to open my eyes and a silly stream blink, I ended up missing the song info. So now after going through almost all the competition entries, finally I found it. “When Time Stands Still” by PK, check it out.
Also, I know that some of you have already discovered this, but if you haven’t, make sure you check out “Aufgewacht Und Tee Gemacht” by Genox. [Ummm…”Woke up and made tea”?! I just hope I got the spelling right.] I’ve been listening to this about 10 times a day recently. One of the best that I’ve heared from this artist so far. Absolutely brilliant.
These 2 tracks speak directly to my heart. <3 <3 :>
And that’s about it for now……
Update: Umm Guys…there’s a new comment on the first part of the display report that you might like to check out. 🙂
Since this seems to be the topic of the week, I might as well create a new post and share some news with you. A whole bunch of you have been asking for the soundtracks for a couple of Vantage demos. And it seems like some of you are not much for waiting. 😀 Anyway, I just captured the soundtracks for “A Simple Way” and “3 Cows Ahead” [click to download]. As for how I did it, well “3 Cows Ahead” is an avi so it’s a simple matter of an audio extraction. However, I tried a whole bunch of extractors and played around with whatever options available, but the result is never perfect for some reason. Specially the beginning of this one sounds far from what you hear on the avi. Keep in mind the fact that I’m no audio expert anyway. :”> So if you know of an extractor which could do a better job, please let me know. “A Simple Way” was of course a different story. I came across this demo capturing software called “kkapture 0.01” a while ago (on pouet.net BBS). It’s an easy to use application which does a pretty darn impressive job capturing both the audio and the video. So I used this to capture an avi of the demo, and then did the same mp3 extraction. The resulting audio quality is rather good. So…enjoy, and I’d certainly appreciate any bits of technical info that you might wanna throw at me. :>
Update: Wheee! Amoivikos [amv] of ASD has just posted a comment containing some very interesting information regarding a number of great scene tracks. Check it out! Always the best info, does this guy rule or what? 🙂
Update: Sorry guys, there is no full version of the “3 Cows Ahead” soundtrack. It was never finished. 
A Simple Way by Vantage was another demo to bring up some controversy. Some very much
liked it, some very much didn’t. Now if you’re one of those who liked it, then we’re on the same page. But if you’re one of those who didn’t, well then I’d like you to enlighten me a bit: What was it about this demo that you didn’t like? I do remember some guys saying that they were bored. But that’s as much as I could gather. The positive side seemed to have a lot to say though. This demos is….well….simple as the name depicts. An easy going /relaxing design with calming colors, put together with a fantastic sound track and some interesting lyrics, “demonstrating” the concept of beauty within simplicity. So explain to me, why did some of you look like you wanted to shoot me for being a bit 
Vantified? 😛
You are going our way now,
Our way is simple,
We like going our way,
Because our way is simple,
It is,
A simple way.
I guess you could say that my fellow Elec Engeez got quite a treat this time around, given that there were at least 3 demos related to their field in this show. The very directly related one was Electric Kool-Aid by Synesthetics. The whole demo is displayed through an oscilloscope tube, what else could we possibly ask for? huh? But this electrifying demo didn’t just make the EE posse happy, it actually managed to make everyone happy! The super cool design and general atmosphere of this demo was exciting for the whole crowd. It seems like there are not many Synesthetics demos out there, well I hope that we’ll see more from these guys in the future.
Update: Guys I don’t have the soundtrack for “A Simple Way” in s seperate file. If it’s out there, I’m yet to find it. If you find it, I want it too!
