Still Enough to Hold

Nalamusic comes from my antipodes, somewhere...I mean, Australia.
Song: Restless Embrace/Still Enough to Hold
Instructions: Pick your player/earphones, a bottle of red wine* and go outside. Look for grass and lay on it...Now look up, what do you see? It doesn't matter, close your eyes and listen to this demo:

*If you don't have a red wine bottle, just grab a Teddy bear...It's still enough to hold.

The Hacienda Must be Built

I'm posting this for Sero.

I just wanted to say - thanks for building the Hacienda, and educating me - and us in that piece of music history. I was so glad to step inside and take part. When I DJed at the Hacienda in SL, I didn't know the history til later - and now it's gone again, I feel it's loss too.

For those who don't know, Sero got the plans from one of the real life Hacienda's building managers, used the plans to build a 3D model of the club, and then opened it up as a club in Secondlife. Art, history and music all fused in one place.

A tip of the hat to Sero, and thank you.

A Map Of The Floating City

Thomas Dolby has released his first NEW album in about 15 years.... And it is fantastic. He pulls from several musical styles, but then he is the son of an archaelogist, so the exposure is evident in everything he's done. I really can't compare this properly to any of his previous work, the closest would be Flat Earth in my opinion, his second album.

It runs the gambit from Mediterranean to Cajun and soft jazz... You tell me... It isn't jumbled, it's assembled. Each track has a feel, but you never think that they don't belong together.

I'll be running this tonight for an album review if you want to listen. There will be Flat Earth for comparison, and some of the "12 x 12" remixes, 7pm SLT. Cheers!
