Eight-X (29)
Hello, Eight-X calling a connected trio, first Martin Rev his debut solo album recorded between the Suicide albums I and II is followed by the first solo album of his Suicide partner Alan Vega, which was released in 81 after Suicide II which had a much more polished sound than their first effort, in a way his solo album a lot of original Suicide in it.... Alan Vega was available when Eldritch
asked him to do a quick studio project to record/release an album for a bandname Sisterhood , this to prevent third parties to take it. As these unpretencious and uncomplicated sessions can go...it worked out pretty well, the result was a true percurser of what would follow 2 years later as Sisters of Mercy's Floodland.

Martin Rev - Martin Rev (80 ^ 90mb)
Martin Rev might have seemed in the shade compared to the exubérance of Alan Vega (especially as he used to refuge behind unspeakable-ski-sunglasses). He even acknowledged that with Suicide, he was playing only with one hand, using the second to protect himself from the stuff launched against the band. But, obviously, you should not minimize his role in Suicide: it is him who was in charge of the wall of sound, and Alan Vega and him always remained very close; their own solo career having each one their own logic. Besides Alan Vega had always affirmed that Suicide had never splitted : no split = no reformation. Martin Rev, as solo performer, plays it cooler, a music kind of minimalistic, electronic but not techno, much more eccentric than noisy.

Alan Vega - Alan Vega (81, ^ 87mb)
One half of the seminal electronic duo Suicide, Alan Vega was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1948. He began his career as a visual artist, gaining notoriety for his "light sculptures; " eventually Vega opened his own lower Manhattan gallery space, which he dubbed the Project of Living Artists. The Project served as a stomping grounds for the likes of the New York Dolls, Television and Blondie as well as the 15-piece jazz group Reverend B., which featured a musician named Martin Rev on electric piano. Soon, Vega and Rev formed Suicide, whose minimalist, aggressive music — a fusion of Rev's ominous, repetitive keyboards and Vega's rockabilly snarl — helped paved the direction for the electronic artists of the future.
Suicide disbanded in 1980, and both Vega and Rev undertook solo careers. Vega's self-titled 1981 debut and his later that year second effort Collision Drive continued to explore the fractured rockabilly identity he had established in his earlier work. 1983's Saturn Strip, produced by longtime fan Ric Ocasek, marked Vega's debut for Elektra Records; corporate relations soured during production for 1985's Just a Million Dreams, however, and at one point the label even attempted to remove the singer from his own studio sessions.
Alan Vega used to say that as beeing basically a sculptor, music was secondary for him. Was that just another provocation? Alan Vega is anyway a true legend (a romantic hero or a deamer for some), joining for any kinds of obscure or more visible projects. He actually induces what Legs McNeil calls the astonishment, a mixture of fascination, made of repulsion and admiration: otherwise, how can one continue to adulate somebody who is ok with just a 30 minutes act (sometimes less, sometimes more) without any communication with the assitance? He's probably one of the original punks actors of the CBGB (New York Dolls, Ramones, Richard Hell, Wayne County, etc... see the compilation Songs of the Naked City) and someone which remains the most homogeneous and with the most credible attitude. His latest release is Station (2007)

Sisterhood, The - Gift (86 ^ 85mb)
Eldritch's parting words were "Thank You ... and Goodbye", heralding Eldritch's retirement from live performance, it was to be five years before the Sisters would perform again. Eldritch got fed up with his local starstatus and moved to Hamburg. Dis putes over a number of songs for the new album, lyrically caused Adams and Hussey to leave.The split soon turned nasty as Adams and Hussey joined forces to form a new band, which they called the Sisterhood. The obvious trading on the Sisters of Mercy's name, by two former members of the band who had left of their own volition, was not appreciated by Eldritch, particularly as Eldritch was by this time the only person carrying the Sisters' debt to WEA.
A second version of the Sisterhood was swiftly formed, comprising James Ray, former Motorhead drummer Lucas Fox, Suicide's Alan Vega and Gun Club's Patricia Morrison, with Eldritch overseeing the project as producer, but critically, not as a performing artist ( constrained by the WEA contract). This allowed the Eldritch Sisterhood to release records via Merciful Release, The Giving Ground single was quickly released; as the first version of the Sisterhood to release a record, this gave Eldritch the rights to the name. And the Hussey Sisterhood were forced to rename as the Mission. It's easy to dismiss Gift as a spoiler album, but this would ignore the musical innovation present on the album. Keyboards and industrial/dance rhythms were used to considerable effect, particularly on the opening Jihad.
Following Gift, Eldritch seems to have been unsure of where to take his career, but in Autumn 1987 Eldritch re-emerged leading a re-activated Sisters of Mercy, now stripped down to Eldritch and Patricia Morrison. This Corrosion was a huge hit, and Floodland was an undisputed success.

Poem: Claudia Rankine
I've highlighted her books before, but I don't think I've ever posted a poem by Claudia Rankine, so let's get this lovefest started right! I think she's producing some of the most fascinating and distinctive poetry--or work in and around that particular signifier--out there today, and her last book, Don't Let Me Be Lonely, was one of those books I carted around me with me for months, reading in it snippets of amazement at what she's achieved. (I did the same with Plot, which became one of my constant companions for months in Providence.) I haven't yet taught it because I haven't had the opportunity to do so, but one of these days, one of these days. (And then there's the eternal dream, of bringing so many of the poets I know and admire to the university....)I thought of typing out one of the poems from Rankine's most recent book, but then I found the following poem on the Dia Center for the Arts's old poetry site, which occasioned a moment of nostalgia before I decide to copy the poem over here. (I do recommend folks head up to Beacon if they get the chance, because the town itself is a gem, but the disappearance of the old Dia sites in Soho and Chelsea, and that incomparable poetry series, with Brigde Mullins's grand introductions and the readers' sometimes complementary, sometimes clashing performances, will never be matched again.) Plot is, among other things, a book about assemblage, about the construction of lives, of domesticity, of subjectivity and interiorities, within a lyric--and one could say a narrative--field. Or a plot. The follow poem, then, enacts this idea.
THE ROOM IS A FOUNTAIN IN EXPERIENCE
Though a previousness, cushioned by dark, aggregates the room
(for there is no disparity),
a room is brought into existence, the activity of--
Here Liv is letting herself feel as she feels, her will yielding to
streams, the lyric field of her everyday depths.
Her presence is. It's come along, is lost, is loss, is wallside
reconciling: can I love now please?
Or in inclusion she bursts into a hood of tenderness: the body's
anguish and flesh and all reflected in the absorbed atmosphere
soaking her being,
then the self feels deeper the depicted insistence engaged, its
essential nest, its scape--
And always and each contiguous thought, approaching the
distance, augments. Viewed against, the mind reshapes and here
is refuge without its tent.
All that's resolved plots against her dividing self, binding her as
if any intervening space is recess for
her grave, an equivalence overlaying presence. Can I love now
please?

Around The World (MC 5)
Hello, Around the Worldmusics is still classical but getting more popular with Classical Treasures, romantic ones that is, with Mendelsohn, Chopin found a picture of him, made not long before his death. and Edvard Grieg, Smetana and Dvorak.
Romantic music as a movement refers to the expression and expansion of musical ideas established in earlier periods, such as the classical period. Romanticism does not necessarily apply to romantic love, but that theme was prevalent in many works composed during this time period. More appropriately, romanticism describes the expansion of formal structures within a composition, making the pieces more passionate and expressive. Overall, composers during this time (1820-1910) expanded on formal ideas in a new and exciting way.
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Far from the troubled, coarse libertine that has become an archetype of the Romantic composer, Felix Mendelssohn was something of an anomaly among his contemporaries. His own situation -- one largely of domestic tranquility and unhindered career fulfillment -- stands in stark contrast to the personal Sturm und Drang familiar to his peers. Mendelssohn was the only musical prodigy of the nineteenth century whose stature could rival that of Mozart.
Mendelssohn was a true Renaissance man. A talented visual artist, he was a refined connoisseur of literature and philosophy. While Mendelssohn's name rarely arises in discussions of the nineteenth century vanguard, the intrinsic importance of his music is undeniable. A distinct personality emerges at once in its exceptional formal sophistication, its singular melodic sense, and its colorful, masterful deployment of the instrumental forces at hand. A true apotheosis of life, Mendelssohn's music absolutely overflows with energy, ebullience, drama, and invention, as evidenced in his most enduring works: the incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream (1826-1842); the Hebrides Overture (1830); the Songs Without Words (1830-1845); the Symphonies No. 3 (1841-1842) and No. 4 (1833); and the Violin Concerto in E minor (1844). While the sunny disposition of so many of Mendelssohn's works has led some to view the composer as possessing great talent but little depth, his religious compositions -- particularly the great oratorios Paulus (1836) and Elijah (1846) -- reflect the complexity and deeply spiritual basis of his personality.

Chopin (March 1, 1810 – October 17, 1849) was born in the village of Żelazowa Wola, in the Duchy of Warsaw, to a Polish mother and French-expatriate father and came to be regarded as a child-prodigy pianist. In November 1830, at the age of twenty, Chopin went abroad. After the suppression of the Polish 1830–31 Uprising, he became one of the many expatriates of the Polish Great Emigration. In Paris he made a comfortable living as composer and piano teacher, while giving few public performances. After some ill-fated romantic involvements with Polish ladies, from 1837 to 1847 he conducted a turbulent relationship with the French writer George Sand (Aurore Dudevant). Chopin the Polishvirtuoso pianist and piano composer of the Romantic period. He is widely regarded as the greatest Polish composer, always in frail health, at 39 in Paris he succumbed to pulmonary tuberculosis.
pic 1849
Chopin's music for the piano combined a unique rhythmic sense, frequent use of chromaticism, and counterpoint. This mixture produces a particularly fragile sound in the melody and the harmony, which are nonetheless underpinned by solid and interesting harmonic techniques. He took the new salon genre of the nocturne, invented by Irish composer John Field, to a deeper level of sophistication. Chopin reinvented genres, namely the étude, by changing it by expanding on the idea and making them into gorgeous, eloquent and emotional showpieces.
*****
Edvard Hagerup Grieg (15 June 1843 – 4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist who composed in the romantic period. He is best known for his Piano Concerto in A minor, for his incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (which includes Morning Mood and In the Hall of the Mountain King), and for his collection of piano miniatures Lyric Pieces.
Grieg is renowned as a nationalist composer, drawing inspiration from Norwegian folk music. Early works include a symphony (which he later suppressed) and a piano sonata. He also wrote three sonatas for violin and piano and a cello sonata. His many short pieces for piano — often built on Norwegian folk tunes and dances — led some to call him the Chopin of the north. Although Grieg's smaller scale pieces are the most successful musically, the Piano Concerto is his most popular and still frequently performed. The slow movement, with its folk-like melodies, is perhaps its most successful feature.
Other well-known works are the Lyric Pieces (for piano), and the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt. Despite In the Hall of the Mountain King being one of Grieg's most popular and enduring compositions, he himself did not care much for it. In a letter to a friend he wrote about the "infernal thing reek[ing] of cow-pies and provincialism." Grieg's popular Holberg Suite was originally written for the piano but later arranged for string orchestra. Grieg wrote songs with lyrics from Heinrich Heine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and others Grieg's songs now feature frequently in recitals and it is perhaps in these and the Lyric Pieces that his originality shows itself most convincingly.
In the spring 1903, Grieg made nine 78-rpm gramophone recordings of his piano music in Paris; all of these historic discs have been reissued on both LPs and CDs and, despite limited fidelity, show his artistry as a pianist. Grieg also made live-recording player piano music rolls for the Welte-Mignon reproducing system, all of which survive today and can be heard.
Edvard Grieg died in the autumn of 1907, aged 64, after a long period of illness. His final words were "Well, if it must be so"

Foundation (1)
Hello, been thinking about the followup Ebook, and decided on more sci-fi. Over the decades The Foundation Trilogy has expanded its place in sci-fi history as its creator Isaac Asimov grew in stature when 30 years later he started expanding the Trilogy to what has now become eight books (spin-offs excluding). The BBC broadcast this ' 73 series three times, last time was 6 years ago. The foundation series has drawn in many enthousiasts and captured their imagination, so plenty of word around (check the link at the bottom). Due to the big time leaps the stories havent been filmed yet..though id think it would lend itself very well for a good sci-fi tv series.
Refresh your memory- if you read the books- or get hooked, for the next 8 weeks there's one hourly episode coming up.
**********
Foundation (novel) was originally a series of eight short stories published in Astounding Magazine between May 1942 and January 1950. According to Asimov the premise was based on ideas set forth in Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and was invented spontaneously on his way to meet with editor John W. Campbell, with whom he developed the concept.The first four stories were collected, along with a new story taking place before the others, in a single volume published by Gnome Press in 1951 as Foundation (novel). The remainder of the stories were published in pairs as Foundation and Empire (1952) and Second Foundation (1953), resulting in the "Foundation Trilogy", as the series was known for decades.
In 1981, after the series had long been considered the most important work of modern science fiction, Asimov was convinced by his publishers to write a fourth book, which was Foundation's Edge (1982).[2] He followed this with a sequel, Foundation and Earth (1983) and five years later prequels Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation. During the lapse between sequels and prequels Asimov tied in his Foundation series with his various other series, creating a single unified universe of his most known works.
In many ways, the Foundation series is unique as a science fiction novel. The focus of the books is certainly the trends through which a civilization might progress, specifically seeking to analyze how they might progress over time using history as a precedent.The Foundation series, looks at the trends in a wider scope, not necessarily looking at what the societies change into, but how they change and adapt. Furthermore, the concept of psychohistory, which gives the events in the story a sense of rational fatalism, leaves little room for moralization, as events are often treated as inevitable and necessary rather than deviations from the greater good.
Isaac Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy was adapted in eight hour-long episodes by the BBC, first broadcast in 1973, and repeated in 1977 and 2002. Foundation is the first book in Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy (later expanded into The Foundation Series). Foundation is a collection of five short stories, which were first published together as a book by Gnome Press in 1951. Together, they form a single plot. Foundation tells the story of a group of scientists who seek to preserve knowledge as the civilizations around them begin to regress.

**********
Foundation (novel) was originally a series of eight short stories published in Astounding Magazine between May 1942 and January 1950. According to Asimov the premise was based on ideas set forth in Edward Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and was invented spontaneously on his way to meet with editor John W. Campbell, with whom he developed the concept.The first four stories were collected, along with a new story taking place before the others, in a single volume published by Gnome Press in 1951 as Foundation (novel). The remainder of the stories were published in pairs as Foundation and Empire (1952) and Second Foundation (1953), resulting in the "Foundation Trilogy", as the series was known for decades.

Thoughts + Poem: Claude McKay
Just some incoherent and incomplete thoughts: two days later, and I still don't have words to talk about the horrific Sean Bell verdict; not that I didn't think it would turn out this way, because when it comes down to a judge issuing a verdict about an unwarranted and insane police attack on Black men or people of color or poor folks, my first thought is that the judge, as this one did, is going to side with the cops. They usually do. That doesn't make it any easier, though.I've been at a loss for words about this verdict and the long history, a litany, of miscarriages of justice, the injustice and anti-justice, against Black people in this country, against people of color, against women, against sexual, ethnic and religious minorities, against working-class and poor folks, about the structural impediments to change, the ways that the people in power maintain their power through various forms of violence and oppression, and make it diffuse, naturalize it, discursively and materially, how they attempt to and often succeed in industrializing our consciousnesses to accept it, to expect it, to participate in it, in part through silence...
Friday night I listened to Jeremiah Wright on Bill Moyers's PBS show Now, having to defend himself against the smears and distortions the Right Wing and establishment media have been propagating, to destroy the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, the electoral chances of the Democratic Party, and Black religious faith and traditions in general. I haven't been able to post since as a result, and even now, I really don't even have a free second to catch up with the missed posts, a number of which are still in half-finished form. (The school year's end is still more than a month away....)
So here's one poem by Claude McKay, about the kind of violence from an earlier period in our national history that just keeps playing out in different forms (50+ bullets vs. a noose on a tree limb or post), despite the many changes, which still are too few....
If you'd like information on the Sean Bell case from those seeking justice on his behalf, consider going to Justice for Sean.
Update: Here's Bernie's much more articulate take.
The Lynching
His Spirit in smoke ascended to high heaven.
His father, by the cruelest way of pain,
Had bidden him to his bosom once again;
The awful sin remained still unforgiven.
All night a bright and solitary star
(Perchance the one that ever guided him,
Yet gave him up at last to Fate's wild whim)
Hung pitifully o'er the swinging char.
Day dawned, and soon the mixed crowds came to view
The ghastly body swaying in the sun
The women thronged to look, but never a one
Showed sorrow in her eyes of steely blue;
And little lads, lynchers that were to be,
Danced round the dreadful thing in fiendish glee.

Shannon Elizabeth "Dancing with the Stars”
Latest news about Shannon Elizabeth : Shannon Elizabeth has sore feet :Shannon Elizabeth was at N9NE Steakhouse with two friends and her “Dancing with the Stars” partner Derek Hough last night. She got to the restaurant early and hung out at the bar barefoot until her friends arrived. Maybe all that dancing is taking its toll. She did put her heals back on before walking over to her table for dinner though. Either way, she’s burning the calories well enough to enjoy all of Executive Chef Barry’s side dishes – Green Beans, Mac-n-Cheese, Creamed Corn, Gnocchi, and Mushrooms – and the restaurant’s signature $69 Ultimate Margarita. Derek wasn’t drinking but he did have the Onion Soup and the Lamb Chops with Lobster Tail.

Sundaze, Inside Out (6)
Hello, today at Sundaze Rho-Xs is going Inside Out again, in this context i try lift some veils or enhance understanding of ourselves. Big media isn't interested in informing you, selling and controlling the uninformed is so much easier.
One of the shocking things i've found out these last years is how corrupted science has become, and not just those chemists and doctors singing the big pharma tune. Corruption is not just a matter of money but status and career are just as effective, certainly when combined when combined with the bigotry and ignorance of previous science masters,( i call them cardinals these days...theres no pope in science but a lot of cardinals and vicious bishops...) . You might think that hard math sciences are exempt from all that , but alas they've moved into the realm of fancy theorising..to keep old ideas afloat, this whilst the truth is staring them in the face, any one raising his/her voice gets shunned, denied access to funds to prove those fallacies they adhere to wrong, indeed they would burn them at the stake. Cosmology these days is a travesty, the only worthwhile thing the world gets from that 'science' are some nice pics which they manage to interpret completely wrong, bound as they are to the ideas of a century ago, and that sixties big bang bummer. Discard everything that doesnt fit, and come up with enormous unknowns to fill in the equasions...Try that at a math test and you get laughed out of the classroom, but these astronomer guys get away with it, they ride their high telescopes and refuse to come down.
Fortunately people have been working on the truth, be it with limited means and yes even under death treats..thats how desperate these goons are to keep their status and illusions. Nevertheless, they can't change reality, and that is that the universe is electric, and not just on the galactic or local solar level but on our human level aswell and beyond that on the DNA level. What you see below here is the work of researcher Jay Alfred, i think the imagery below speaks a thousand words. But wait there's more another program from the Hemi-Sync lab, who's afraid of numbers ? Enhance your math skills...Constance Demby's Novus Magnificat masterpiece got this multimedia artist even a grammy nomination....Finally, David Wilcock, i came across his work years ago, he's done some excellent research, and i think together with the human energy field article below will get you a good insight
in the nature of reality. Lots to read...and learn.......your eyes are getting heavy.....
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
There have been many depictions of the human energy field and subtle bodies in the metaphysical and religious literature. The interesting observation in these depictions is the many signature features that can be associated with plasma. This suggests that the human energy field and the subtle body can be modeled as a bioplasma body. A brief excursion of the images in the literature and their similarity with structures often seen in plasma will be carried out below.
1. Magnetosphere
It is well-known in general metaphysics that the (relatively) dense bioplasma body sits inside an ovoid which is enclosed by a sheath. This ovoid is similar to the magnetosphere around the Earth as it protects the dense bioplasma body (inside the ovoid) from unwanted radiation, just as the Earth's magnetosphere protects the physical-dense Earth from harmful solar radiation. The ovoid usually contains a dense body (relative to the rest of the ovoid) along the longer axis of the ovoid with low density (weakly ionized) magnetic plasma filling the rest of the ovoid. The field lines of the primary dipolar magnetic field generated by the central vertical currents (see #10 below) within the bioplasma body is largely embedded within the ovoid.
2. Concentric Shells
Plasma crystals, generated in the laboratory, are in the form of collections of particles which are held in a crystal-like array by a plasma of weakly ionized gas. When the assembly of microscopic particles was contained between two electrodes and illuminated by a laser beam, it could be seen, even with the naked eye, that the particles naturally arranged themselves regularly into as many as 18 planes parallel to the electrodes. In a subsequent experiment, the particles in the plasma crystal arranged themselves into neat concentric shells, to a total ball diameter of several millimeters. These orderly Coulomb balls, consisting of aligned, concentric shells of dust particles, survived for long periods. This onion-like layered structure, comprising of concentric shells, is also often seen in depictions of the human energy field or subtle bodies in the metaphysical literature.
3. Double Helix (Birkeland) Currents
The helical shape of the magnetic field around the gas cloud in the constellation Orion is believed to be caused by matter in the interstellar cloud moving in a straight line along the length of the filament. When this happens, it causes the magnetic field around the cloud to spiral around in a corkscrew pattern. Researchers were able to detect this spiral shape using the Green Bank Telescope, a radio observatory in Virginia. When helical magnetic fields form in plasma, charged particles move along the field lines generating helical currents.
Kundalini is a Sanskrit term is derived from the term kundala, which means a "ring" or "coil". Kundalini currents have often been depicted in the metaphysical literature as a serpent coiled around the back part of the root chakra in three and a half turns (comparable to a solenoid or a compressed helical current) around the sacrum. The energy is supposed to originate from an apparent reservoir of subtle bio-energy at the base of the spine. The central vertical currents in the subtle body (described as Ida, Pingala and Sushumna in the yoga literature) are often depicted in the metaphysical (particularly the yoga) literature as a pair of mutually entangled helical currents with straight currents passing through them.
Mutually entangled (double spirals) currents are frequently seen in space and laboratory plasmas. Helical structures can also be found in dusty (or complex) plasma. This shows that there is a strong connection between plasma dynamics and the formation of the central kundalini and pranic currents in the (supersymmetric) bioplasma body as described by plasma metaphysics.

4. Hot Spots or Plasmoids
Plasmas can take up a variety of shapes and have "hot spots" which are visible. It has been observed that these hot spots in plasma emanate along axes. Secondly, these hotspots have different colors and temperatures than the rest of the mass. These observations agree with the bright blobs of light of different colors often found depicted in subtle body and human energy field literature along the spinal axis of the human body.
The hot spots are believed to be sources of intense X-ray emission as well as pulsed electron and ion beams. Hot spots require intense heating rates more commonly associated with focused laser beams. Pulsed beams have also been depicted in the metaphysical literature (see #6 below). Presumably these are generated by the hot spots, exit out of the vortexes (see #9 below), and undergo "lensing effects" while being ejected from the ovoid and being refracted by the clear material in the ovoid which could produce convergent and collimated beams.
5. Coronas, Spicules and Granulations
Coronal auras and discharges, granulation and spicules are all features associated with the Sun and our subtle energy bodies - the latter, as seen by clairvoyants. Coronal discharges and flares can occur suddenly on the Sun. The various particles that are discharged, together with these flares, are carried by the Sun's plasma wind to cause magnetic storms on Earth. Spicules are short-lived phenomena, corresponding to rising jets of gas that move upward and last only a few minutes on the Sun. Spicules can also be seen in the coronas of bioplasma bodies. In addition, striations (which can also be associated with plasma and are seen on gas giants like Jupiter) are also seen. Coronas and spicules can also be seen in Kirlian representations of the aura. (In laboratory tests, it has been found that Kirlian representations of the aura correlate with the colors and shapes that human "seers" see.)
6. Beams and Jets
Using sophisticated scientific equipment, scientists at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai have shown that "subtle energy" has the properties of an electromagnetic current when flowing through acupuncture meridians but takes on the properties of coherent particle streams, similar to laser light, when projected out from the body through the hands of master Qigong healers who cure diseases by beaming their energy into the patient's body.
There are important vortexes on the palms of the hands (of the subtle body within the ovoid). Jets or directed beams of light have been seen in photographs taken during events where subtle energetic practices take place (for example: Reiki, Qigong and Christian "Praise and Worship"). There are also Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist and Christian images showing jets of light issuing-out from the palms of saints or deities. One of the seers of the Fatima apparitions of "Mary" in 1919, "Lucia", revealed that during one of the apparitions, "Mary" opened her hands and "rays of light" issued from them.
7. Filamentary Currents
Plasma naturally forms filaments in response to electric fields within the subtle body (which according to plasma metaphysics is composed of a complex plasma of negatively-charged, positively-charged and neutral particles). Charged particles are guided within these filaments by magnetic fields and accelerated by electric fields - generating currents. It is a well accepted fact in metaphysics that there are filaments within our subtle body, which have been referred to as "meridians", "nadis" and "channels" - in the Chinese, Indian and Tibetan literature, respectively. In Taoist and Qigong literature, they are also referred to as "circuits" and "orbits". For example, Qigong practitioners may speak of microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits. The microcosmic orbit is really the main meridian through which particles are accelerated in the relevant practices to bring energy to the rest of the subtle body. According to plasma metaphysics, these meridians are "Birkeland currents", i.e. currents in which charged particles flow through and are guided by magnetic field lines.
8. Plasma Focus Device
The plasma focus device produces, by electromagnetic acceleration and compression, a short-lived magnetically-confined, hot spot or plasmoid that is so hot and dense that it becomes a multi-radiation source. These plasmoids emit intense beams of accelerated ions and electrons (see #4 above). The plasma focus device is similar to the plasma gun which is a magnetically driven shock tube that ejects plasma in the form of a plasmoid, without pinching it.
The similarities in the image when we look down at the barrel of a dense plasma focus device and the image of the throat chakra as depicted by Leadbeater are obvious. Plasma focus devices are therefore already embedded in bioplasma bodies, with the vortexes in the bioplasma body acting as delivery systems of intense collimated beams of energetic particles that are seen in many religious depictions of deities (see 6 above).
9. Plasma Vortex
Charged particles in an ionized environment have a tendency to follow magnetic field lines. If the path of the particle is at an angle, i.e. neither parallel nor perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the particle will spiral around the magnetic field lines using a helical path. When the particles plunge they collide with other particles in the ovoid, generating a light phenomenon similar to the auroras in the atmosphere at Earth's magnetic poles. This process will generate a helical path that will have a cone shape when viewed from the side, with the apex of the cone meeting the surface of the bioplasma body. Dynamically, this can be described as a vortex. Since there are many particles streaming down into the bioplasma body, taking slightly different trajectories, smaller vortexes can also appear within a larger vortex.
Experimental metaphysicist Barbara Brennan has observed, as many other metaphysicists, vortexes within the human energy field or bioplasma body. Within each vortex, residing on the surface of the relatively dense body within the ovoid, there are also small rotating vortexes spinning at very high rates.
10. Super Fields
It has been observed and recorded in the metaphysical and religious literature that within the bioplasma body are both helical and straight currents (see #3 above) aligned with the longer axis of the bioplasma body. These are the "central currents". In addition, there also numerous filamentary currents interpenetrating the bioplasma body (see #7 above).
A complex network of currents enveloping the bioplasma body has been observed by Barbara Brennan who notes, "The main vertical power current induces other currents at right angles to it to form golden streamers that extend directly from the body. These in turn induce other currents that circle around the field, so that the entire auric field and all the levels below it are surrounded and held within a basket-like network." Moving charges generate magnetic fields which have been depicted often in the metaphysical literature. There are localized fields embedded within global fields.

Hemi Sync - Buy The Numbers ( ^ 99mb )
H-PLUS uses Hemi-Sync® to establish an Access Channel into which encoded Functions are inserted into such total-awareness, in the knowledge that the methodology to perform said Functions is already inherent and existent within the system. Thereafter, the ability to activate Functions so inserted and encoded lies within the conscious option of the individual. The H-PLUS Access Channel is open only during the insertion of a new H-PLUS Function. At all other times, it remains closed and unavailable.
H-PLUS Functions are derived from a wide variety of sources both present-day and historical, from individuals and organizations who have demonstrated success in a specialized area and which can be learned by the H-PLUS process.
H-PLUS recognizes the existence of an inertial mass within the structure of each human consciousness as generated by the long-encrusted belief system therein. The Program also acknowledges the incipient anxiety and fear related to the prospect of change within said structure. Therefore, H-PLUS encourages and abets change in small increments rather than the quantum leap. The result is evolution as against revolution, with the whole far greater than the sum of the parts, without resistance or fear.
The primary goal of H-PLUS is total, conscious control as may be desired by the individual over the entire self - mental, emotional and physical. Because all are inseparable, each learned and applied H-PLUS Function contains elements of all three. Thus the effect of any single Function is not limited solely to the area of focus or application. It adds to and shapes the formation of the new whole - the KNOW SYSTEM.
In that H-PLUS employs chiefly methods and techniques in sound, all Function Exercises are provided initially on audio cassette tape, one to each cassette. Each cassette consists of Access Channel Preparatory training on one side, with actual Function Encoding on the second. Use of the preparation exercise until proficiency is achieved is essential prior to working with the encoding on the second side. However, casual listening to the encoding portion first may be desirable so that the participant is well acquainted at a conscious level with the Function to be inserted and absorbed.
The Function Encoding exercise on the second side is used and repeated until conscious testing demonstrates such Function is securely in place and operational. From that point forward, the exercise tape is no longer needed and can be given to a new H-PLUS Apprentice of choice.
Buy The Numbers: Use the simple method anytime, anywhere, for improved homework and exam results, greater accuracy, speed, and ability to remember numbers. Use for paying bills, balancing checkbooks, figuring taxes, and overcoming discouragement about math and statistics. Increase ease proficiency with numbers, and end math phobia.
Sharpen your skills for working with numbers in everyday applications and improve your aptitude for defining and understanding numerical concepts. Use anytime to enhance your speed, accuracy, and ability to remember numbers and gain confidence in your mathematical abilities.

Constance Demby - Novus Magnificat ( 86 ^ 99mb)
Born in Oakland CA, Constance Demby gave her first recital for classical pianoforte at the age of twelve. She studied sculpture and painting at the University of Michigan. After her marriage, she lived in New York for seven years. It was mainly as a sculptor that she built her sonic steel instruments, the space bass and later the whale sail. As a co-founder of The Central Maine Power, Sound and Light Company, an experimental visual and sound group, she created multimedia shows with sculptures and lights, and her sonic steel instruments.
As a pioneer in her field, she creates sounds you'd swear you never heard before; yet, somewhere in some dim memory, there is a faint memory echo - rich and compelling - calling up archetypal experiences which access the deeper, more profound levels of the mind-body-spirit, allowing listeners to travel into states of expanded consciousness.
Recommendation from Constance:
For NOVUS MAGNIFICAT, AETERNA, SANCTUM SANCTUORUM, SPIRIT TRANCE, SACRED SPACE MUSIC, SONIC IMMERSION, ATTUNEMENT I recommend that you listen “frontally” - at least for the first time. That is, prepare for the experience so that you will be able to give the music your full attention with no interruptions as you receive the tones. Without your full absorption, you could miss the potent emotional impact the music can deliver, for the music has frequencies and tones encoded within it that can potentially impact one down to the cellular level.
To prepare for a full immersion, turn off phone and phone machines, seclude yourself, close the door, turn down the lights, turn UP the volume, boost the bass frequencies, (good earphones are OK too), and relax deeply as the music takes you on a journey. If you wish, you may ask to be taken to “the same realms from which the music came.” Since sound is a carrier wave for intention, you can also experiment with the tones by sending them to specific parts of your embodiement that may need healing. By listening in this way, many listeners have experienced life changing events, powerful healings, altered consciousness, gotten in touch with guidance, viewed past lives, had spontaneous healings, with some even being rescued from suicide attempts.Blessings and have a good journey!

David Wilcock - Divine Cosmos PDF (196 pages, 8mb)
THE ENERGETIC TRANSFORMATION OF OUR ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM is now underway, and we are already feeling the effects – which the US government now admits, but is attempting to blame on global warming. This is by far the most facile and under-informed opinion about what is going on. In this book, we go miles beyond either of our previous two books in the Convergence series ... The Shift of the Ages and Convergence III. If you liked these books ... just wait. The problem was that we didn’t even know about the entirely new world of Russian physics when we wrote those books ... and once we found it, ALL the pieces fit together.
We now present a completely Unified model, showing how the same energetic fields are at work on all levels of size, from the quantum to intergalactic. This proves that the Universe is holographic and/or fractal in its very nature. This model has never existed in such a complete form in any of our recent history, at least overtly. Many annoying paradoxes of science have now been resolved into one single, stable multi-dimensional cosmology – which has dazzling implications for our immediate future.
The information contained within this book has waited long enough. It keeps banging on the door, because it wants a hot meal and a warm place to sleep in your mind. Start learning what a part of you already knows… come and discover The Divine Cosmos.

Kundalini is a Sanskrit term is derived from the term kundala, which means a "ring" or "coil". Kundalini currents have often been depicted in the metaphysical literature as a serpent coiled around the back part of the root chakra in three and a half turns (comparable to a solenoid or a compressed helical current) around the sacrum. The energy is supposed to originate from an apparent reservoir of subtle bio-energy at the base of the spine. The central vertical currents in the subtle body (described as Ida, Pingala and Sushumna in the yoga literature) are often depicted in the metaphysical (particularly the yoga) literature as a pair of mutually entangled helical currents with straight currents passing through them.
Mutually entangled (double spirals) currents are frequently seen in space and laboratory plasmas. Helical structures can also be found in dusty (or complex) plasma. This shows that there is a strong connection between plasma dynamics and the formation of the central kundalini and pranic currents in the (supersymmetric) bioplasma body as described by plasma metaphysics.
4. Hot Spots or Plasmoids
Plasmas can take up a variety of shapes and have "hot spots" which are visible. It has been observed that these hot spots in plasma emanate along axes. Secondly, these hotspots have different colors and temperatures than the rest of the mass. These observations agree with the bright blobs of light of different colors often found depicted in subtle body and human energy field literature along the spinal axis of the human body.
The hot spots are believed to be sources of intense X-ray emission as well as pulsed electron and ion beams. Hot spots require intense heating rates more commonly associated with focused laser beams. Pulsed beams have also been depicted in the metaphysical literature (see #6 below). Presumably these are generated by the hot spots, exit out of the vortexes (see #9 below), and undergo "lensing effects" while being ejected from the ovoid and being refracted by the clear material in the ovoid which could produce convergent and collimated beams.
5. Coronas, Spicules and Granulations
Coronal auras and discharges, granulation and spicules are all features associated with the Sun and our subtle energy bodies - the latter, as seen by clairvoyants. Coronal discharges and flares can occur suddenly on the Sun. The various particles that are discharged, together with these flares, are carried by the Sun's plasma wind to cause magnetic storms on Earth. Spicules are short-lived phenomena, corresponding to rising jets of gas that move upward and last only a few minutes on the Sun. Spicules can also be seen in the coronas of bioplasma bodies. In addition, striations (which can also be associated with plasma and are seen on gas giants like Jupiter) are also seen. Coronas and spicules can also be seen in Kirlian representations of the aura. (In laboratory tests, it has been found that Kirlian representations of the aura correlate with the colors and shapes that human "seers" see.)
6. Beams and Jets
Using sophisticated scientific equipment, scientists at Jiao Tong University in Shanghai have shown that "subtle energy" has the properties of an electromagnetic current when flowing through acupuncture meridians but takes on the properties of coherent particle streams, similar to laser light, when projected out from the body through the hands of master Qigong healers who cure diseases by beaming their energy into the patient's body.
There are important vortexes on the palms of the hands (of the subtle body within the ovoid). Jets or directed beams of light have been seen in photographs taken during events where subtle energetic practices take place (for example: Reiki, Qigong and Christian "Praise and Worship"). There are also Hindu, Taoist, Buddhist and Christian images showing jets of light issuing-out from the palms of saints or deities. One of the seers of the Fatima apparitions of "Mary" in 1919, "Lucia", revealed that during one of the apparitions, "Mary" opened her hands and "rays of light" issued from them.
7. Filamentary Currents
Plasma naturally forms filaments in response to electric fields within the subtle body (which according to plasma metaphysics is composed of a complex plasma of negatively-charged, positively-charged and neutral particles). Charged particles are guided within these filaments by magnetic fields and accelerated by electric fields - generating currents. It is a well accepted fact in metaphysics that there are filaments within our subtle body, which have been referred to as "meridians", "nadis" and "channels" - in the Chinese, Indian and Tibetan literature, respectively. In Taoist and Qigong literature, they are also referred to as "circuits" and "orbits". For example, Qigong practitioners may speak of microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits. The microcosmic orbit is really the main meridian through which particles are accelerated in the relevant practices to bring energy to the rest of the subtle body. According to plasma metaphysics, these meridians are "Birkeland currents", i.e. currents in which charged particles flow through and are guided by magnetic field lines.
8. Plasma Focus Device
The plasma focus device produces, by electromagnetic acceleration and compression, a short-lived magnetically-confined, hot spot or plasmoid that is so hot and dense that it becomes a multi-radiation source. These plasmoids emit intense beams of accelerated ions and electrons (see #4 above). The plasma focus device is similar to the plasma gun which is a magnetically driven shock tube that ejects plasma in the form of a plasmoid, without pinching it.
The similarities in the image when we look down at the barrel of a dense plasma focus device and the image of the throat chakra as depicted by Leadbeater are obvious. Plasma focus devices are therefore already embedded in bioplasma bodies, with the vortexes in the bioplasma body acting as delivery systems of intense collimated beams of energetic particles that are seen in many religious depictions of deities (see 6 above).
9. Plasma Vortex
Charged particles in an ionized environment have a tendency to follow magnetic field lines. If the path of the particle is at an angle, i.e. neither parallel nor perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the particle will spiral around the magnetic field lines using a helical path. When the particles plunge they collide with other particles in the ovoid, generating a light phenomenon similar to the auroras in the atmosphere at Earth's magnetic poles. This process will generate a helical path that will have a cone shape when viewed from the side, with the apex of the cone meeting the surface of the bioplasma body. Dynamically, this can be described as a vortex. Since there are many particles streaming down into the bioplasma body, taking slightly different trajectories, smaller vortexes can also appear within a larger vortex.
Experimental metaphysicist Barbara Brennan has observed, as many other metaphysicists, vortexes within the human energy field or bioplasma body. Within each vortex, residing on the surface of the relatively dense body within the ovoid, there are also small rotating vortexes spinning at very high rates.
10. Super Fields
It has been observed and recorded in the metaphysical and religious literature that within the bioplasma body are both helical and straight currents (see #3 above) aligned with the longer axis of the bioplasma body. These are the "central currents". In addition, there also numerous filamentary currents interpenetrating the bioplasma body (see #7 above).
A complex network of currents enveloping the bioplasma body has been observed by Barbara Brennan who notes, "The main vertical power current induces other currents at right angles to it to form golden streamers that extend directly from the body. These in turn induce other currents that circle around the field, so that the entire auric field and all the levels below it are surrounded and held within a basket-like network." Moving charges generate magnetic fields which have been depicted often in the metaphysical literature. There are localized fields embedded within global fields.

Hemi Sync - Buy The Numbers ( ^ 99mb )
H-PLUS uses Hemi-Sync® to establish an Access Channel into which encoded Functions are inserted into such total-awareness, in the knowledge that the methodology to perform said Functions is already inherent and existent within the system. Thereafter, the ability to activate Functions so inserted and encoded lies within the conscious option of the individual. The H-PLUS Access Channel is open only during the insertion of a new H-PLUS Function. At all other times, it remains closed and unavailable.
H-PLUS Functions are derived from a wide variety of sources both present-day and historical, from individuals and organizations who have demonstrated success in a specialized area and which can be learned by the H-PLUS process.
H-PLUS recognizes the existence of an inertial mass within the structure of each human consciousness as generated by the long-encrusted belief system therein. The Program also acknowledges the incipient anxiety and fear related to the prospect of change within said structure. Therefore, H-PLUS encourages and abets change in small increments rather than the quantum leap. The result is evolution as against revolution, with the whole far greater than the sum of the parts, without resistance or fear.
The primary goal of H-PLUS is total, conscious control as may be desired by the individual over the entire self - mental, emotional and physical. Because all are inseparable, each learned and applied H-PLUS Function contains elements of all three. Thus the effect of any single Function is not limited solely to the area of focus or application. It adds to and shapes the formation of the new whole - the KNOW SYSTEM.
In that H-PLUS employs chiefly methods and techniques in sound, all Function Exercises are provided initially on audio cassette tape, one to each cassette. Each cassette consists of Access Channel Preparatory training on one side, with actual Function Encoding on the second. Use of the preparation exercise until proficiency is achieved is essential prior to working with the encoding on the second side. However, casual listening to the encoding portion first may be desirable so that the participant is well acquainted at a conscious level with the Function to be inserted and absorbed.
The Function Encoding exercise on the second side is used and repeated until conscious testing demonstrates such Function is securely in place and operational. From that point forward, the exercise tape is no longer needed and can be given to a new H-PLUS Apprentice of choice.
Buy The Numbers: Use the simple method anytime, anywhere, for improved homework and exam results, greater accuracy, speed, and ability to remember numbers.

Constance Demby - Novus Magnificat ( 86 ^ 99mb)
Born in Oakland CA, Constance Demby gave her first recital for classical pianoforte at the age of twelve. She studied sculpture and painting at the University of Michigan. After her marriage, she lived in New York for seven years. It was mainly as a sculptor that she built her sonic steel instruments, the space bass and later the whale sail. As a co-founder of The Central Maine Power, Sound and Light Company, an experimental visual and sound group, she created multimedia shows with sculptures and lights, and her sonic steel instruments.
As a pioneer in her field, she creates sounds you'd swear you never heard before; yet, somewhere in some dim memory, there is a faint memory echo - rich and compelling - calling up archetypal experiences which access the deeper, more profound levels of the mind-body-spirit, allowing listeners to travel into states of expanded consciousness.
Recommendation from Constance:
For NOVUS MAGNIFICAT, AETERNA, SANCTUM SANCTUORUM, SPIRIT TRANCE, SACRED SPACE MUSIC, SONIC IMMERSION, ATTUNEMENT I recommend that you listen “frontally” - at least for the first time. That is, prepare for the experience so that you will be able to give the music your full attention with no interruptions as you receive the tones. Without your full absorption, you could miss the potent emotional impact the music can deliver, for the music has frequencies and tones encoded within it that can potentially impact one down to the cellular level.
To prepare for a full immersion, turn off phone and phone machines, seclude yourself, close the door, turn down the lights, turn UP the volume, boost the bass frequencies, (good earphones are OK too), and relax deeply as the music takes you on a journey. If you wish, you may ask to be taken to “the same realms from which the music came.” Since sound is a carrier wave for intention, you can also experiment with the tones by sending them to specific parts of your embodiement that may need healing. By listening in this way, many listeners have experienced life changing events, powerful healings, altered consciousness, gotten in touch with guidance, viewed past lives, had spontaneous healings, with some even being rescued from suicide attempts.Blessings and have a good journey!

David Wilcock - Divine Cosmos PDF (196 pages, 8mb)
THE ENERGETIC TRANSFORMATION OF OUR ENTIRE SOLAR SYSTEM is now underway, and we are already feeling the effects – which the US government now admits, but is attempting to blame on global warming. This is by far the most facile and under-informed opinion about what is going on. In this book, we go miles beyond either of our previous two books in the Convergence series ... The Shift of the Ages and Convergence III. If you liked these books ... just wait. The problem was that we didn’t even know about the entirely new world of Russian physics when we wrote those books ... and once we found it, ALL the pieces fit together.
We now present a completely Unified model, showing how the same energetic fields are at work on all levels of size, from the quantum to intergalactic. This proves that the Universe is holographic and/or fractal in its very nature. This model has never existed in such a complete form in any of our recent history, at least overtly. Many annoying paradoxes of science have now been resolved into one single, stable multi-dimensional cosmology – which has dazzling implications for our immediate future.
The information contained within this book has waited long enough. It keeps banging on the door, because it wants a hot meal and a warm place to sleep in your mind. Start learning what a part of you already knows… come and discover The Divine Cosmos.

Breakbeat Era - Ultra-Obscene (99 ^151mb)
Breakbeat Era was a short-lived British project that combined the breakbeat talents of drum and bass producers Roni Size and DJ Die with the vocals of singer Leonie Laws. Combining the hyperkinetic breakbeats and chilly electronic textures of drum'n'bass with actual song structures . Breakbeat Era differs from all of these in that this group comes to rock from drum'n'bass, not the other way around. Leonie Laws is not a tuneless singer, by any means, but her approach is more punk than pop, and the instrumental accompaniment is straight out of the "darkcore" subgenre of drum'n'bass, a style typified by minor chords and creepy, robotic basslines. Song titles like "Rancid," "Our Disease" and "Anti-Everything" -- all of which sound like they were nicked from first-wave punk albums -- give you an idea of what to expect.
In conjunction with the album's release, the group was also seen as a live act in the U.S. and UK in a similar vein as Reprazent, with focus on Leonie Laws. Since the album seems to be a one-off project, other releases seem unlikely. As of 2006, Leonie Laws was working with a new drum and bass live band called "Blackout".

Peshay - Fuzion ( 02 ^ 153mb)
Peshay's style of jungle/drum'n'bass, influenced both by house and the more polished forms of jazz fusion, allies itself both with Goldie and 4 Hero. A breakbeat DJ from early in his career, Peshay debuted on wax with Reinforced in 1993, recording the Protegé EP before joining Goldie's Metalheadz stable and releasing its second single, "Psychosis." He also recorded several twelves with LTJ Bukem's Good Looking Records, including "The Piano Tune" and "19.5." Though hampered by a serious illness which sidelined him during jungle's breakout year of 1995, Peshay returned in 1996, remixing singles from Goldie's Timeless ("Inner City Life" and "Angel") and contributing tracks to the Mo'Wax compilation Headz II. Signed up to Mo'Wax, Peshay released the "Miles from Home" single in mid-1998 and worked on material with Photek's Rupert Parkes. The label's practical dissolution by the following year led to delays for the expected full-length, though by July 1999 Peshay's debut album -- also called Miles from Home -- appeared on the Island Blue label. Following de rigeur for top-flight jungle producers, he also formed his own label, Elementz Records, which released twelves from Decoder and Technical Itch.
Long delayed because of release problems with Mo' Wax, Peshay's debut funnels his jazz influences -- not just the slick end of '70s fusion and disco, but the hard boppin' '60s as well -- into a solid album of breakbeat dance. The jazz'n'breaks angle is done better than most, thanks to input from two of the jungle scene's prime engineer/producers, Decoder and (on two tracks) Photek. The title track is an obvious highlight (it actually appeared on Mo' Wax as a single more than a year earlier), and the live bass and piano on "Live at 2:37" are a welcome attempt to continue integrating jazz improv with drum'n'bass
On Fuzion , apart from featuring collaborations with Co-Ordinate, Flytronix, and Neil Mac, Peshay has, naturally, caught the pick 'n' mix drum 'n' bass re-birth vibe and refined its application with spotless production. Where others have taken their cue from Samba, house and soul, Peshay has for the most part delved into house's early roots in disco, borrowing strings and funky guitar links to embellish the beats with a soft, soulful underbelly.The result is an album that pumps with energy while simultaneously invoking the warm vibes more often associated with deep house. Some of this cross-pollination is sublime.

E-Z Rollers - Titles Of The Unexpected (03 * 99mb)
The E-Z Rollers is a British drum and bass group made up of Jay Hurren (also known as JMJ), Alex Banks (also known from the band Hyper-On Experience) and Kelly Richards. The group was formed in 1995 in Norfolk, England. They defined the easy-rolling two-step of Moving Shadow Records during the late '90s with their recordings as E-Z Rollers, after developing hardcore breakbeats earlier in the decade . They were originally involved in the mid-'80s rare-groove and hip-hop scene around their native East Anglia, pr- omoting shows and DJing as well. They moved into house as well after the rave explosion, and while Banks increasinly concentrated on production work in his home studio during the early '90s, Hurren continued to mix at events, usually billed as JMJ. The duo began recording after meeting emerging jungle don L.T.J Bukem -- releasing various singles for Rob Playford's Moving Shadow and Bukem's Good Looking -- "Montana" and "Universal Horn" as JMJ & Richie, "Thunder Grip" and "Lords of the Null Lines" as Hyper-On Experience -- and helped write the template for smooth drum'n'bass with plenty of jazz texture but swift rhythms to keep the vibes moving in clubs.
After meeting up with vocalist Kelly Richards at one of their gigs, Hurren and Banks decided to form E-Z Rollers around the threesome. Their first long-player together, Dimensions Of Sound, arrived in 1996 and its gentle, jazz influenced hooks, solid beats and melodic keys were wonderfully enhanced by Kelly's exquisite vocals. The crew kept their hand in over the next few months with various 12s before unleashing their second album, Weekend World, in 1998. This saw a brief excursion into the UK charts with "Walk This Land" which reached an astonishing No.18 in the UK charts after being used for the British flick, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.
With their third album, Titles Of The Unexpected, they have produced their most accomplished disk to date. Packed with anthemic tunes and the hip-hop grooves, this album stretches right across musical genres, from the breaks inspired "Take It EZ" to the dancehall-style flavas of "Lady Jam". Always open minded and well known for serving a huge assortment of different sonic delicacies from a number of different platters, Titles of the Unexpected sees them search deeper within their inner self. With the enrolment of hip-hop beatbox legend Doug E Fresh and soul diva Sharon Brown, the sonic adventure is complete. EZs roll with high tempo d & b and mid-tempo breaks with a collection of tracks full of fervour and flair.

Packed with anthemic tunes and the hip-hop grooves, this album stretches right across musical genres, from the breaks inspired "Take It EZ" to the dancehall-style flavas of "Lady Jam". Always open minded and well known for serving a huge assortment of different sonic delicacies from a number of different platters, Titles of the Unexpected sees them search deeper within their inner self. With the enrolment of hip-hop beatbox legend Doug E Fresh and soul diva Sharon Brown, the sonic adventure is complete. EZs roll with high tempo d & b and mid-tempo breaks with a collection of tracks full of fervour and flair.
