the conet project: letölthető hidegháborús államtitkok (yes, downloadable numbers station broadcasts)
Hidegháborús államtitkokat, matahariktól és vérszökőkutaktól lucskos kémtörténeteket és a Fringe idevágó epizódja óta összeesküvés-elméleteket kombinálnak össze a The Conet Project gerinckarmolgatóan hangulatos felvételei: a rövidhullámú rádiózás értői és avatottjai csak number stationként ismerik azokat az adásokat, amelyeken kizárólag rövid zenei vagy dallambetétekkel központozott számsorokat hallhatunk. A berlini fal leomlása előtt, úgy hírlik, még ilyen, csak one-time padekkel visszafejthető kódsorok formájában kapták a kémek és titkosügynökök utasításaikat - a számállomások viszont a mai napig működnek. Töretlenül. Az Irdial az elmúlt húsz év felvételeiből tallózott négy korongnyi mintát, amiket itt tudtok letölteni (meg számos más helyen is, legálisan, pl. az archive.org-on), a negyedik CD-n még magyar nyelvű (NNN/V18) samplet is hallhattok, a helyetekben rákeverném a NASA hangfelvételeit a Jupiter mellől, mellé pár véletlenszerű tracket a Vir Unis - Carbon Based Lifeforms - Z'ev háromszögből, aztán várhatjátok a démonokat. Kellemes hétfőt. Amúgy.
Messages of creepiness and unearthliness crawling through the realm of shortwave a.k.a. number stations. If you're a Fringe fan, you've probably already dug your way into one of the weirdest one-way communication methods of the past century, weird radio broadcasts carrying seemingly endless lists of numbers read in monotonous voices. Now Irdial's offering you (actually they've been offering this to you for quite a while, here's also a download link at archive.org) a number station broadcast compilation spanning 4 CDs from the past twenty years and it's nothing short of weird. Put it into your mix, spice it up with the NASA Jupiter recordings (just as we did), add some Vir Unis, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Z'ev tracks on top and then expect the worst. A great Monday to you, by the way.
♫ jogger - nephicide
Debut video for Jogger’s Nephicide. Jogger is Jonathan Larroquette and Amir Yaghmai. Based out of LA, they know how to put that shit together. (via alepisaball and coilhouse)
how to make music without instruments?
This is an example, how to use the basic stuff in your room in such creative and musician way. Just take some noisy and voiced objects and record them with any sampler. At the end use all this stuff to create any music u desire. Or... You even don't need any sampler. Just use your friends, give them gadgets and transform your party into gizmo-jam-session. I can guarantee much fun. Enjoy! (via vimeo)
♫ light asylum - dark allies
This is the raw, real stuff right here, hearkening back to ultra-early Ministry, dance hall Cabaret Voltaire, or any of 4AD’s most toothsome output from back in the day. Think Ian Curtis at his most tuneful, Grace Jones at her most carnivorous, or Clan of Xymox with roid rage… (via @coilhouse)
Exactly. This is the best new stuff I've heard so far this year (Phurpa was last year, remember?) - even though I'm currently running in a jungle full of Sleep Chamber, Igorrr, Battle of Mice, Tzolk'in and The Irrepressibles -, so much like the night when your mascara's running, you're crying, clutching desperately into a doorbell that will never answer and the cigarette never meets a lighter in your Schwartzschild radius and you desperately clasp the stranger that gives you the light as you're hiding from the rain and you forget the name like anything in the past year when your heart wasn't working and it's never really working at all and then you're fucking raw, biting the pillow as it bleeds back and you're scraping yourself in the toilet, hiding below the sink, scrubbing a heatmap of desire off your skin until you're sore from the outside as much as the inside and the emptiness has a name and Nietzsche's might just have been a heartstruck boy as he wrote all that stuff about the abyss but it's a new day and the doorbell's never answering. It's that kind of music. Bon fucking appetit. (Genius music by the way, Shannon Funchess is a goddess.) (facebook, myspace, official site)

the irrepressibles - the mirror mirror spectacle
When I experience genuine reverence for a band, it is my solemn duty to immediately share with the people of Coilhouse. Enter The Irrepressibles: a UK 10-piece that has combined all that is grand about glam, baroque, and pop, wrapped it into a beautiful, melodramatic performance package and released it into the world in early 2010 with an album titled Mirror Mirror. (theirrepressibles.com, via coilhouse)
phurpa: tibetan ritual music, the bon tradition
This message comes to you on 2011-01-01, 11-11. This is not automatic. The very first post this year on P://D calls for the melding of ancient, towering traditions of black and the crackling, electronic Eris hysteria of 2011. Presenting you one of the most amazing and powerful musical formations we've come to know last year: PHURPA, a Tibetan ritual music project digging into the pre-Buddhist Bon tradition, Tantric Buddhism, and the fusion of these that we know as Tibetan Buddhism. It comes with frequencies rumbling, rebuilding your brain on the fly. We know, it happened to us. It is happening even now as I'm writing this.

the xmas rave celebration
Snow of neon glitter, rave hymns on the radio, almost-orgasmic basslines and Martian raverettes. Wishing you something like that for the upcoming few days. For the Mithras Regeneration Period.
ingrid michaelson - parachute (to the steampunk community)
This will most probably appeal to the steampunk community, although NYC-based indie/pop artist Ingrid Michaelson has not much to do with aesthetic combinations of leather, steam or brass.
concord dawn - forever, easy life
Two related tracks off NZ drumnbass massive Concord Dawn's latest album The Enemy Within (out on Uprising) - the same story told from two different viewpoints, both vids were recorded in Vienna, showing both Prater and Flex, a work of rock! Great tracks, especially Forever.
qlimax 2010 after movie
Finally, this year's Qlimax aftermovie is out! Expecting the DVD in the upcoming months, livesets were amazing - this trailer doesn't even sniff the real atmosphere of the Gelredome transformation. Still. Image below is Stephanie, Italian hardstyle diva (Q-Dance - InQontrol 2010 - SAVE.EXIT.PLANET - Amsterdam RAI (2010-04-17), for the image).
2010: the linkbox of memory lane
A skatepark light angel, created by photographer Ben Matthews, via grinding.be.These are the links/posts that never made it to planet://damage, excluding personal photos of doom, awesomeness and porn. Didn't comment all these links, because it would have been tedious and I've already spent some time selecting stuff from my bookmarks, Twitter and Google Reader faves, so there, you'll at least spend some time sifting through the garbage. Thanks to everyone who sent any of these to me in the hours of need - you know who you are.

the top 15 tron-inspired music videos / a legjobb 15 tron-ihlette videoklip
Támad a retrofuturizmus, avagy így néz ki a popipar, ha a Tron neon geometriáját keni a reggeli kalácsra - az eredeti Daft Punk Derezzed filmelőzetesétől méltán elfelejtett olasz rapmetálig, szomorúszemű indie fiúkig és érthetetlenül neonsurranós, ámbár jókosarú csajokig fut a lista, megérdemlitek-kakukktojással a végén: tizenöt videoklip, amit a Tronnak köszönhetünk.
Retrofuturism is breathing down your necks, or this is how pop industry looks like if it drops the morning Kellogg's into Tron's neon geometries. A terrific and terrifying compilation of fifteen music videos inspired by Tron - from obscure Italian crossovers to sad-eyed indie boys and neon sneaker hotties, not excluding Daft Punk's Derezzed. But there's so much more.

♫ new skin - sweet talk (misery lab remix)
A brilliant razorsharp candy fusion of obscure of LDN/Swedish goth pop (New Skin), ex-Rosetta Stone Porl King's remixing handiwork (Miserylab), flavoured with too many long memories about being involved with the Goth crowd, even before I started promoting. (Great times, altogether.) Dug up from the treasurebox of eleven months worth' of bookmarks, faves and starred items that I'm busy either deleting or sorting them into winter posts. Want this track? You can find it on Gothic Divas Presents: Switchblade Symphony, Tre Lux and New Skin - for the album, get the self-titled 2006 Cleopatra edition here. (Recommended by @honeymooncroon.)
