Hello, so what's the news from space this week, well for one the Portal to the Universe has opened, and astronomers have reached a new distance=age record, a spectacular stellar explosion known as a gamma-ray burst located about 13 billion light years(=9.6 billion km) away. Talk about a galaxy far far away...

It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

S01E07 The War Prayer
Mayan, renowned Minbari poet and old friend of Delenn, is aboard the station to entertain the Minbari population and enlighten others of Minbari culture, when she is brutally attacked by masked members of the Home Guard, an isolationist terrorist group from Earth whose members seek to flush all alien influences out of human society. Other violent attacks on non-humans concern and outrage the aliens aboard Babylon 5. One assault leaves Vir's nephew in a coma.
G'Kar stirs up trouble in the name of justice, trying to get the alien residents of Babylon 5 to rise up against their human neighbors, while uncomfortable questions about the influence of the Home Guard trouble Sinclair, who ultimately must take a direct hand in affairs.

Terence McKenna - Tree Of Knowledge (audiobook) ( 8 parts,11 hours, 84mb)
When Terence McKenna passed away in early 2000, we lost not only a brilliant and daring writer on the nature of consciousness -- but one of the most entertaining speakers of all time. The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge was McKenna's magnum opus -- an in-depth series of public talks covering his lifelong investigation into our 20,000-year relationship with visionary plant substances and their impact on our species. McKenna transports us from our prehistoric roots, across today's digital landscape, and into the awe-inspiring events ahead that he predicted for humankind. In this 11 hour rap Terence Mckenna covers all of his favorite topics of discussion, From the self transforming machine elves in DMT hyperspace, Ayahuasca, the gaian mind, the world as language, to his own unique blend of philosophy & social commentary. This workshop encompasses on the whole much of Terence's entheogenic musings. On a side note, in the Q&A spots many questions from the audience are sometime hard to hear, but Terence's answers usually straigten out any confusion. Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!

Terence McKenna - Hallucinogens and Culture
Hallucinogenic substances have been instrumental in the foundation of many aspects of our cultural heritage. In this video, McKenna suggests ways in which hallucinogenic plants have been associated with spiritual traditions in ancient India, in the Amazon and in medieval Europe.

Craig Armstrong - Piano Works (04 ^119mb)
Armstrong studied musical composition, violin and piano at the Royal Academy of Music where he was awarded the Charles Lucas prize and the Harvey Lohr scholarship for composition. He was also awarded the FTCL Fellowship in composition, and won the GLAA Young Jazz Musician of the Year in 1982. During the 1980s, Armstrong's composition work included commissions from the Arts Council for various classical ensembles in Scotland, and he also served as resident composer at the Tron Theatre in Glasgow. Armstrong's production career took off in the early '90s. He composed music for several BBC and STV productions during this time, but his big break came with the Scottish pop trio Big Dish. Armstrong co-wrote three songs on the trio's Satellites album, released in 1991, and also provided string arrangements for the album. Three years later, in 1994, Armstrong worked with renowned trip-hop group Massive Attack on its genre-defining Protection album. By the end of the '90s, Armstrong had collaborated with such big-name artists as U2, Madonna, Hole, the Spice Girls, the London Suede, and Tina Turner, in addition to many other lesser-known artists.
Armstrong's solo debut, The Space Between Us, was released on Massive Attack's Melankolic label in 1998. The album didn't prove to be as popular as expected, but it nonetheless increased Armstrong's reputation as a noteworthy producer. During this same late-'90s era, Armstrong continued working on soundtrack projects, which remained his most acclaimed work. However, he worked on soundtracks for much more successful films such as Mission: Impossible (1996), Romeo + Juliet (1998), Cruel Intentions (1999), and -- perhaps his most celebrated soundtrack work -- Moulin Rouge (2001). Following the success of Moulin Rouge, and its second volume, Armstrong returned in 2002 with his second non-soundtrack full-length effort, As if to Nothing, which boasted a new version of U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close)." In 2004, he provided the score for the Ray Charles biopic Ray, and in 2005, an anthology of his film work was released. His most recent film scores are for Richard Curtis's 2003 film Love Actually, the Academy Award winning Taylor Hackford film, Ray (for which Armstrong won a Grammy Award) and Oliver Stone's 2006 film World Trade Center.
If the lush, sweeping strings and ambient beats of The Space Between Us seemed cinematic, As if to Nothing suggests an even bolder turn toward film score territory. It's an indication of how Armstrong's stock rose after Moulin Rouge was released and after his work with Massive Attack was featured in advertisements and soundtracks around the world that so many collaborators join the fray here. Bono, Evan Dando, Mogwai, Photek, and David McAlmont all attempt star turns, and less well-known performers from Big Dish, Alpha, and Laub get in on the festivities as well. But Armstrong's string arrangements are still the focal point, to the extent that most of the collaborators are relegated to a back seat. In 2004 he released Pianoworks, containing solo piano pieces from different soundtracks played by himself. Followed by the Film Works 1995 - 2005 compilation. His latest album, Memory Takes My Hand was released early july 08, just preceded by the June release of his film score for The Hulk.

Hello, as i said last time, a few days ago my Rho-Xs passed the 1 millionth hit, to celebrate i will post another Rhotational, thats one week in the old format. This has me busy at the moment as later i will get up the Into BPM posts up there, i'd say check it out. Here we continue with the babylon 5 saga, and the nasty PSI corps makes it's power felt...
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
S01E06 Mindwar
After a narrow escape from an Earth Alliance fighter squadron, outcast Psi Corps rogue telepath Jason Ironheart takes refuge aboard Babylon 5, hoping to make contact with Talia, his old student and former lover. Matters get worse when two Psi Cops - P12s, capable of immense telepathic power - arrive to grill Talia and Sinclair about Ironheart's possible whereabouts. When it becomes apparent that Ironheart is not only aboard the station but is also somehow dangerous, Talia risks her standing with the Psi Corps to discover that Jason has become a new breed of telepath, thanks to the Corps' illicit experimentation.

Hello, posts on tuesday ? Yes, i've decided to up the tempo on posting The Babylon 5 saga, after all there's 110 episodes to go thru, that would take 2 years, one year is enough and in fact a rather long window for this blog , i will keep it up as long as possible, but who knows what the future holds. Read today that the sun isn't acting as usual, and the solar wind much less. Our astrofysicists dare not talk about what's out there beyond the solar system, which is compressing the suns heliospere, yet to me as a layperson it makes pefect sense that the solar wind is deminishes when an outside force is blocking even pushing it back. The thing is, this outside force is a giant socalled dustcloud and it could be many ages before it has passed onward. So does this mean we're in for another iceage or has global warming arrived just in time..i'd say the latter, well i guess we'll see.

S01E05 The Parliament of Dreams
Amidst a week of cultural exchange in which various species' religious and philosophical views are demonstrated, Garibaldi notices the arrival of Catherine Sakai, Sinclair's old flame from the space academy on Earth. While Sinclair tries to come to grips with his past, Ambassador G'Kar's past gets a grip on him as an old adversary from the Narn homeworld has diverted all his resources to killing G'Kar. The sudden arrival of a new aide (Na'Toth), makes the ambassador understandably nervous, and no matter what steps he takes to ensure his own security, someone seems to be one step ahead of G'Kar at every turn.

McKenna (11)
Hello, Sundaze in Springshine , we near the end of McKenna's True Hallucinations with another two great chapters. There's an embedded video that shows McKenna taking us on a journey into the alchemical renaissance of King Frederick V and his wife Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Playing the role of John Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth of England, Terence McKenna shows us how the promise of a return to the tradition of alchemy was almost instituted in Europe. There's on obscure video from the good old days, before NWO started it's power grab after the JFK assasination, and mindexpansion became a danger to them. After all you can distort and control the truth on this plane, so keeping people away from the other sides is essential. Not that they understand much of it, most are as brainwashed as the rest of us, but these people have a control obsession, so the least they can do is to make anything they can't control illegal. Anyway it's a charming (naive) episode of the One Step Beyond series, The Sacred Mushroom, i'm sure it inspired Carlos Casteneda..1961 TV...The music component today is provided by Tetsu Inoue's and Pete Namlook in the guise of Shades Of Orion, a rarity that turned out something of a ambient classic..

Terence McKenna - The Alchemical Dream Rebirth of the Great Work
In the mid-1990's Terence McKenna and Mystic Fire's Sheldon Rocklin teamed up to make this rich and exciting film. Little did they know that this would be their last film. Filmed in Prague with Terence portraying his usual erudite rendition of the Irish Bard, this filmed classic takes us on a journey into the alchemical renaissance of King Frederick V and his wife Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. Playing the role of John Dee, court magician for Queen Elizabeth of England, Terence McKenna shows us how the promise of a return to the tradition of alchemy was almost instituted in Europe. He also shows us that this early attempt at the creation of an alchemical kingdom actually lead to the European Renaissance and the institution of Cartesian science and the beginnings of rationalism within the western mindset. This incredible film is not only beautifully filmed but is Terence McKenna s finest performance and a worthy eulogy to his genius.

This had been released in a limited edition of 500 back in 1993. It is sold out since a long time and is one very rare collectors item. Meanwhile there are collectors who pay $ 100 and more for an original. This second collaboration of Pete Namlook and Tetsu Inoue is more moving than their deep chill work -2350 Broadway-. Its full of Ambient - sequences and deep basses as well as -space- and environmental sounds. Muted bleeps and beats with beds of subtle vocal textures, lovely airy atmospheres and synth melodies that gently spin in and out of your consciousness. If there's such a thing as softcore techno, this is it. Environmental sounds are also woven into the tapestry in a most subtle way, some processed and treated to the point where their source is rendered almost unrecognisable. Limited to 500 copies.

Hello, a few days ago my Rho-Xs blog passed the 1 millionth hit, numbers..Well can't say Transgloballs does as well, but then i'm rather philosophical about it all....Consider the flapping of the wings of a butterfly..who's to say what storm it will unleash, seriously though, is there really that much difference between making one person happy or a thousand ? Well in a way there is but it depends on the strength and the level of focus of the emotion. When a miillion meditate in concert on peace, the effect is noticable. As my guru always tells me.."Thoughts count" they shape reality, specially ones own reality. Hmmm, time for an exiting episode of Babylon 5

Hello, a bunny Easter to all, crack some eggs or egg some crack, whatever, Sundaze brings a Saucer Full of Secrets without the Pink but with True Hallucinations from McKenna. There's an embedded video that shows Terence in Prague having interesting conversations- part 2 this week. Then there's the High Times Encyclopedia of Recreational Drugs, 460 pages that will get your mind expanded. Finally, as we get saturated year after year by Bach to the future part 272,the St. Matthew Passion, why not go for some serious pseudoclassic by John Foxx, Cathedral Oceans. This is the dvd rip and you get to chose between the regular ogg 9 and a ogg 5.1 version

John Foxx - Cathedral Oceans ( ^ 115mb)
John Foxx aka Dennis Leigh, first began experimenting with tape recorders and synthesizers whilst on a scholarship at the Royal College of Art. In 1973 he formed a glam rockband that would initually be called Tiger Lily, later (77)it transformed into Ultravox ! . After the record company dropped them (79) Foxx left and was replaced by Midge Ure, after which 'Ultravienna ' took off.
Foxx signing to Virgin Records, and released " Metamatic" on his 'Metal Beat' record label . He played most of the synthesizers and "rhythm machines", as they were listed on the jacket. "Metal Beat" was also the name of one of the songs from the album and was inspired by an odd metallic clunk sound on an early Roland drum machine, the CR-78. Metal Beat Records lasted from 1980 to 1985 with Foxx as its only artist. Foxx's next LP was The Garden, released 25 September 1981. This recording was a departure from the stark electronic sound of Metamatic, bearing a greater resemblance to Foxx’s swansong with Ultravox, Systems of Romance. In 1982 he set up his own recording studio, also called The Garden, housed in an artists' collective in Shoreditch East London. Fall 83, his third solo LP The Golden Section was release, Foxx described this album as a "roots check" of his earliest influences such as The Beatles, psychedelia, and other pre-punk sources.The album In Mysterious Ways was issued in October 1985. Musically it was not considered a significant progression beyond the sound of his two previous releases, nor was it a commercial success.
After In Mysterious Ways, Foxx gave up a public career in pop music. He sold his recording studio and returned to his earlier career as a graphic artist, working under his original name of Dennis Leigh
Spring, 1997, John Foxx made a return to the music scene with the simultaneous release of two albums, Shifting City and Cathedral Oceans. Shifting City was a collaboration with Manchester's Louis Gordon, categorised by many commentators as an updated stylistic return to Foxx's Metamatic synth pop sound. However it also displayed the influence of 1990s underground dance music and the 'triphop' style, along with the psychedelic Beatles-esque pop first apparent on Ultravox’s "When You Walk Through Me". Cathedral Oceans was a solo John Foxx record, an ambient return to his Catholic youth and his love of the cathedrals of England and Europe. Its roots included traditional evensong, Gregorian Chant, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, and German band Cluster. Cathedral Oceans began as a project during the sessions for "The Garden" and has been a work in progress for 20 years before this release, described by Foxx himself as one of the proudest moments of his career. The accompanying DVD was made commercially available for the first time during an installation in Hoxton Square, London in January 2003.

Bab 5 (103)
Hello again, more eggs from my Transgloballs basket coming up. Though i'm not a numbers guy i have to admit that the interest in the Babylon 5 series has been dissappointing, i guess that the fans have either been buying the DVD's already..more than half a billion dollar in sales ! Or prefer the torrents to acquire the series. Well let me know what you think..
***** ***** ***** ***** *****
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.
S01E03 Born to the Purple
Londo's career is in jeopardy when he falls victim to a beautiful slave who seduces him and steals his "Purple Files", which hold scandalous secrets and thus control over other Centauri families.

Nebulous (08)
Hello, seems like spring has begon, time to work on the vitamin D. Saw some video presentations on the fraudelent ways the banksters have- no, are still ruining the economy, flipping unbelieveable and it has nothing to do with incompetence, its pre-meditated fraud, theft, corrupt regulators and politicians recieving big campaign contributions..Wallstreet executives should be arrested en masse..a little waterboarding and we'd soon get to the bottom of these shallow greedy people....Enough smalltalk, time for the slightly crazy professor Nebulous and his eco-troubleshooting team of K.E.N.T. (the Key Environmental Non-Judgmental Taskforce) trying to set the world back on the right path following a worldwide disaster known as "The Withering".

McKenna (09)
Hello, Sundaze offers more of McKenna's True Hallucinations with another two great chapters. There's an embedded video that shows McKenna in Prague having an interesting conversation with Ram Dass and antropologist Angela Arrien on her path into the archaic revival. There's something interesting to read aswell, Terrance thoughts and insights on what had been the biggests thing for knowledge seeking men before they called it science...Alchemy. Now you could play this weeks musical component in the background but im afraid there's a sensuality to that female voice that might distract, Bill Laswells bass isnt just droning and Anton Fiers production sparkling as you can experience if you pick up "This Is How It Feels by The Golden Palominos.

Golden Palominos - This Is How It Feels ( ^ 146mb)
Golden Palominos first featured Fier, singer-guitarist Arto Lindsay, saxophonist John Zorn, bass guitarist Bill Laswell and violinist/guitarist Fred Frith. Their self-titled debut album was released on New York's Celluloid Records in 1983, the album is notable for having some of the first recorded turntable scratching outside of rap music, courtesy of Laswell and M.E. Miller. The Palominos' next album, 1985's Visions of Excess, would sound vastly different, leaning towards songs more in a folk vein, with a sound in some respects pre-dating the emergence of the alt-country genre by a few years. This record was also noteworthy as the debut of singer Syd Straw, whose songwriting and vocals would be featured prominently on this record and the next, Blast Of Silence. Cream's Jack Bruce, guitarists Richard Thompson and Jody Harris, and R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe also appeared on the record. Of the band members that were on the first record, only Fier and Arto Lindsay had remained. Blast Of Silence was released the following year, carrying on in much of the same vein as Visions Of Excess and with appearances by many of the same personnel.
A Dead Horse (1989) carried on in the sound of its predocessors slightly, but some of the songs also crossed into a darker, more ambient and ethereal sound, a sound which would dominate the Palomino records of the 1990s. Syd Straw had moved on and was no longer in the band, with most of the vocals now handled by Amanda Kramer. It saw the return of Bill laswell who brought Bernie Worrell and Aiyb Dieng along. Drunk With Passion marked the first record not on Celluloid Records, with its sound taking from some of the darker cues heard on A Dead Horse and also using more processed and electronic sounds, giving many of its songs an ethereal feel. This album could be argued was more influenced by its guest appearances than any of the others, who included Hüsker Dü's Bob Mould, Richard Thompson, and Michael Stipe.
This Is How It Feels, released in 1993, continued on in much of the ambient sound of Drunk With Passion, but it also incorporated many elements of club and trance music. It also marked the introduction of new lead vocalist Lori Carson, who co-wrote nine of the CD's tracks with Anton Fier. Bill Laswell's production work on this and on the following record, Pure, would heavily influence his own remix work of the late 90's, as seen on the CDs Emerald Ather and City Of Light. Pure, released a year later, is seen by many as the band's most focused work, due much to the strong contributions once again of Carson, Laswell, and Skopelitis. Tracks such as "No Skin" and "Pure" continue in the dance/ambient style of the previous album. The CD would also stir a minor controversy over the bare female breast on its cover. The song "Little Suicides", from Pure showed much of same sparse sound, production, and strong yet quiet vocals (albeit less electronic) that would influence Carson's solo work. Anton Fier would produce Carson's 1995 solo record, Where It Goes.
Dead Inside (1996) was another stylistic turnaround for the Palominos, and their last proper album. This time, the record had a deathly, industrial sound, with the line-up consisting only of Fier, multi-instrumentalist Knox Chandler (who before joining the Palominos, was also in a band with Lori Carson), Nicky Skopelitis, and poet Nicole Blackman. Much of the Golden Palominos work has become increasingly hard to find, and compilations do not provide a complete overview of their work.

Bab 5 (102)
Hello, enter Number 5 ..that is Babylon 5 , a brilliant adult sci-fi series that ran during the mid-nineties.. i have to say i had expected some more respons..Even if i dont care for numbers that much i overestimated the interest, must stem from my own enthousiasm about this series. It's true it really kicks into gear during the second season..well let me know if you want more or a higher frequency say 2 episodes every week....
It was the dawn of the third age of mankind – ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was a dream, given form. Its goal: to prevent another war, by creating a place where humans and aliens can work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call – home away from home – for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers. Humans and aliens, wrapped in two million, five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal... all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

S01,E02 Soul Hunter

Ambassador Delenn reacts with horror at the new arrival, describing him as Shak Tot - a Soul Hunter, a figure feared in Minbari lore. Delenn tells the commander to either kill it or get it off the station before someone dies.
