Hello, almost forgot this encore, the music of Babylon 5 which has been almost completely from the hands of one man, Christopher Franke. The original pilot film had music composed by Stewart Copeland of The Police. When the show was picked up as a weekly series, Copeland was unavailable, so Christopher Franke of Tangerine Dream was hired. Franke was the composer for all five seasons of Babylon 5, three of the television films, and the Lost Tales DVD. When Straczynski obtained funds to create a new producer's cut of the pilot film, the original Copeland score was replaced with a new score by Franke. Over thirty soundtrack CDs have been issued featuring Franke's Babylon 5 compositions.

Chris Franke - The OST Babylon 5 Suite ( 100mb)
Born in Berlin, Germany in April, 1953, Christopher Franke studied classical music and composition at the Berlin Conservatory. At that time he was influenced by such composers as Krzysztof Penderecki, John Cage and Karl-Heinz Stockhausen and was actively involved in rock and jazz music.

Together with his composition teacher, Franke set up a sound studio within a Berlin music school. The experimental excursions resulted in a project that evolved into the Berlin School of Electronic Music. It was there that Christopher Franke met Edgar Froese and became a member of the group Tangerine Dream. He pioneered the fascinating soundscapes of the Moog Synthesizer and explored the Moog Sequencer creating driving, hypnotic rhythm patterns. One year later, Franke brought Peter Baumann into the band. Between 1970 and 1988, Tangerine Dream released 37 albums and composed scores for more than 30 feature films, including "Legend", "Sorcerer", "Thief", "Firestarter", and "Risky Business".

After leaving the Group in 1988, he released his first solo album, "Pacific Coast Highway" in 1991. That same year he founded the Berlin Symphonic Film Orchestra and opened a new, much needed recording studio in Hollywood as he became a successful film music composer on his own. In 1993, Christopher started the record label, "Sonic Images Records", and subsequently released numerous studio recordings and soundtracks. He has composed the music for feature films, such as the blockbuster "Universal Soldier", as well as for television, including the cult Sci-Fi series "Babylon 5". 1997 witnessed the release of Franke's critically acclaimed "The Celestine Prophecy - A Musical Voyage", a companion CD to James Redfield's best selling book "The Celestine Prophecy".

More recently, Franke completed the score to the epic "Tarzan and the Lost City", the influential documentary "What the Bleep do we know?", the hit-movie "Hooligans" starring Elijah Wood and the new Sci-Fi movie "Babylon 5 - The Lost Tales".

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.

S01E22 Chrysalis


Negotiations between the Narn and Centauri over territorial claims to Quadrant 37 are getting nowhere, and it looks like G'Kar has the upper hand on Londo. Morden, the elusive man who once asked Londo and G'Kar what they wanted, appears out of nowhere and offers Londo the opportunity to take credit for a solution to the Quadrant 37 problem that will tip the scales in the Centauri's favor, a solution which Morden and his unspecified associates will provide at no cost.

Garibaldi follows a tenuous trail of clues to a man named Devereaux, who warns that the security chief is getting into something too big for him. As it turns out, this is true - Garibaldi discovers evidence that Devereaux may be an Earthforce special agent, and finally stumbles across a plot to assassinate the president of the Earth Alliance. He pays for this discovery dearly when one of the conspirators, Garibaldi's trusted friend and second-in-command of B5 Security, shoots him on the back.

The Shadows are cast upon Quadrant 37, utterly annihilating every trace of the Narn presence there in mere seconds.
Delenn goes to Sinclair to discuss at last the Battle of the Line and his capture, but his priority must be to find Garibaldi. Delenn is risking her life and Sinclair's to reveal the mystery to him, and warns that she has little time left.
Garibaldi, dying, warns of the plot to kill the president, but his warning is too late, and Earthforce One is destroyed and Vice President Clark is sworn in as president hours later. All this takes place against the backdrop of new years eve 2258.

By age 18, he was discovering his own writing abilities. He soon joined up with the band Happy The Man (HTM) which was forming at the local university. It was with HTM that Kit honed his skills in composing, performing, arranging, and producing.

The album won him 5th place in Keyboard magazine’s Annual Readers’ Poll Awards for keyboard album. He recorded and performed with drummer/percussionist Coco Roussel during this period.

Hello, there's a solstace coming up next week..make the most of it..party. You never know what's next..That said there was a spectacular..2 in fact crop pictograms recently, a dragonfly and a huge 130 ft jellyfish both with asthonishing detail.

Now browsing the comments section i came across the idea that this particular jellifish crop-pictogram pointed to..A the way our magnetic field works under duresse and B gave a timemarker namely the 7th of July on which day a CME or coronal mass ejection of the sun would hit Earth..bad for communications and specially for the powergrid..Suppose this happens are we ready to believe that these pictograms are not done overnight by a bunch of creative clowns but by others not of our time/earth. Double chaos i presume if all this were to go down...read some detailed theory/analysis HERE

S01E20 Babylon Squared

Tachyon disturbances in the area of space which was once occupied by Babylon 4 concern Sinclair, especially when a fighter pilot who investigates returns to the station dead of old age. Then a message arrives from the long-gone station - a distress call from B4. A convoy of fighters and transports departs Babylon 5 to see if the ghostly station can be evacuated. It turns out that B4 and its crew have been lost in time, and the station, according to an unusual and evasive alien named Zathras, has been brought back to 2258 so its occupants can escape.

Zathras also mentions The One, a space-suited figure who appears ghostlike in the corridors of B4, and tells of how the station has been lifted from its present to serve as a staging base in a great war. Sinclair offers his help, but Zathras refuses the offer. Meanwhile Delenn is at the Minbari Grey council where she's offered the leadership position, which she declines as she wishes to follow her heart and continue her research into the humans (gives a great speech !).

S01E19 A Voice in the Wilderness part 2

As Sinclair and Ivanova return to the station with the dying being from Epsilon 3, the Earth Alliance heavy cruiser Hyperion arrives, supposedly to provide backup should any of the alien governments object to an anticipated Earth takeover of the unimaginably powerful technology found on Epsilon 3. In the meantime, Draal, a friend of Delenn's who has arrived to tell her he is probably never going to return to Minbar, somehow picks up on the presence of the alien Varn in the Medlab.

Varn reveals that Epsilon 3 is the hiding place of a level of technology which could be malevolently destructive in the wrong hands, and Varn is its guardian, but with his condition fading of natural causes, the planet's defenses are becoming erratic and volatile. As if the uncooperative captain of the Hyperion isn't enough for Sinclair to deal with, an alien ship containing beings similar to Varn arrives, demanding custody of Epsilon 3's technology and theatening any who stand in the way. Draal wants to take Varn and go to Epsilon 3, and Delenn convinces Londo to fly them down to the surface in the midst of a pitch battle between the combined forces of B5, the Hyperion and the alien attackers. Who will lay claim to the planet and its arsenal?

Hello, how quickly a week passes, time again for another Sundaze. Last week i presented a blip from my past..it obviously didnt stand alone at the time..end/beginning of the century there were a lot of chill out/ambient compilations released and even serialised. One of the better compilers , Enrico Riva released the Transatlantik Lounging Series. Here today the one that opened the door to the 3 that followed. Furthermore a very special accapella album, you really need to get this to believe how brilliantly these performers recreate the Dark Side Of The Moon no less..without any instruments just the human voice...be amazed.. There's 2 versions here--the original 1 track without breaks or you can get the version i edited ..that is including the breaks...


The mood is out there.....breathe in...

Voices on the Dark Side - Dark Side of the Moon - A Cappella ( 05 ^ 98mb)

At the root of "Dark Side of the Moon A Cappella" is the use of a cappella as a means of taking the music to a different, more personal, level. The distillation of the forty-five minutes of instrumental and vocal music into nine voices is intended to at once highlight the power of the human voice and reveal new depths of the original material. There is a rawness to a cappella performance that lends itself well to the simultaneous complexity and simplicity of Pink Floyd in general and this album in particular. 

Floyd's masterpiece, 'Dark Side' is vocally recreated here by 8 singers and 1 vocal percussionist, and the results are fairly stunning. Of course, many people know these 9 tunes by heart: 'Speak to Me/Breathe,' 'On the Run,' 'Time,' 'Money,' 'Us and Them' and others, but the envelope that the recording pushes goes way beyond being able to better understand what the lyrics actually were. Floyd used synthesizers and audio effects to create their haunting sound, and it's totally cool to hear the voices riff on a creating a particularly difficult beloved passage, and succeeding. Recorded in High Definition, without breaks between the tracks, and as close to the original timing as possible, lovers of a cappella and/or of rock will want and need to hear 'Dark Side,' to be amazed again by the power of the human voice.

VA - Transatlantik Lounging (99 ^ 126mb)

What's the difference between mood music and muzak? According to the booklet, written by Enrico Riva (who also selected the tracks), that comes with this CD, mood music is for swingers and the jazz feel makes all the difference. Still according to text in the booklet, the first mood music album that was ever made was Paul Weston's "Music For Dreaming" from 1945...It shows that Alfred Bos (aka Enrico Riva) is a music journalist/writer 
This compilation offers an overview of recent mood music releases, featured artists range from well-known to more obscure. The style ranges from jazzy drum'n bass to jazzy breakbeats to jazzy ambient to jazzy whatever. Overall characteristics are the jazz feel (like you didn't know that by now), use of exotic instruments, lush textures, sunny melodies, laidback beats, heavy percussion, and so on. It's midway between dancefloor exhiliration and ambient wallpaper. It's music for carefree enjoyment....

Hello, it's been a quiet week here..EU elections..well these are farcecal anyway, an oversegmented parlement without any real power...it's becoming clearer everyday that the EU is not for the people it's for the corperations and the shady powers that be, imposing their laws on the people. Sure many of the new members are still in the carrot phase and the naturally federal Germans don't see much harm, the Italians are more interested in Berlusconi's villa of orgies and the Popes blessing, but the rest of the old EU is rather fed up, the Dutch and the French said no but their governments know better and if the Irish don't hold out we're all doomed here. Alas it's unlikely the Irish will hold out as they've been hard hit by the crises and they undoubtely have been told to vote yes or starve (figurativly)..Not sure if they'll use electronic voting machines in which case the outcome is guaranteed as there's a very big boot at play here, one that plans to usurp 27 countries in one go. Fuck those salon intellektuals..remember Lenin was one too, back in his day before he led the communist reign of terror with his Jewish comrades. The EU is a monster about to awaken, it will devour all freedom in the name of freedom for big business....

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.

S01E18 A Voice in the Wilderness part 1

Seismic disturbances on the surface of Epsilon 3, the planet B5 orbits, draw the attention of the crew. A shuttle manned by a science team leaves the station to investigate, but it is thrown off course by a burst of intense energy from Epsilon 3's surface. A further attempt to survey the planet activates an automatic defense system which fires heat-seeking missiles from an installation hidden beneath the planet's surface. In the meantime, news reaches the station that the Mars Colony has been engulfed in a full-fledged political revolt, and a mysterious image is sighted aboard B5 pleading for help. Deciding that the recent attack constitutes a threat to station security, Sinclair and Ivanova are the next shuttle crew to try to land on Epsilon 3. Evading the defense systems, they dive below the surface and discover an underground installation filled with astounding technology on a scale never before seen. And at the center of this vast complex, the being from the mysterious image begs Sinclair and Ivanova for help - and warns that anyone near Epsilon 3 is in grave danger.

S01E17 Legacies

A Minbari war cruiser arrives at Babylon 5, bringing the body of Shai Alyt Branmer, a legendary Minbari war leader and one of the Minbari heroes of the Battle of the Line. Garibaldi expresses concerns that the tour could be a prelude to a new surge of Minbari hostility.

When the body of Branmer is brought to be viewed by the Minbari residents of B5, the casket is found to be empty, a horrible revelation that has Minbari representative Alyt Neroon - Brammer's devoted follower and first officer on the Line - threatening to re-ignite the Earth-Minbari War, with the first battle certain to take place at B5.

Elsewhere on B5, a 12-year-old orphan, named Alisa Beldon, is caught trying to steal food in the Zocalo, but when she suddenly crumples to the ground clutching her head, Ivanova puts her under arrest, and at once a feud begins between the first officer and Talia, who reveals that the girl is an emerging telepath who should be trained by the Psi Corps, to which Ivanova objects in the strongest possible terms. Ivanova takes her to see Delenn, who explains how Minbari telepaths live. During their discussion, Alisa looks into Delenn's mind and sees that it was she who took Branmer's body.....
