VA - Compost Black Label Series Vol. 3 (2008)

This is a guest post written by Musicometro.

Compost Black Label Series 3Instead of bringing you quantity, I will try to bring rlslog some quality music. I probably won’t win this competition but hopefully might be able to introduce to you some new and refreshing sounds. Thank you for listening.

Three years ago Compost Records was breaking new grounds with the formation of the Blacklabel Series. The aim was to put Compost back on the dance floor map and into the cases of the worlds leading international DJs. The formula was easy: less jazz and soul - more house and tekky stuff. The outcome wasn’t the “typical” Compost sound anymore which people related with the Munich based label. This was bleepy and creepy, dark and pumping! Distinguishable by its artwork, colour and sound, the Blacklabel Series turned out to be the perfect imprint to release forward thinking club tracks, DJ tools and sonic experiments - “cause Zeitgeist won’t stop!” (De:Bug on Blacklabel). To this day there are 30 releases on the Blacklabel imprint and the backing and praising from key players worldwide is growing with each new 12″ …

Once again the third volume unites the brightest moments of the successful 12″ series on a CD compilation - this time in form of a special DJ mix done by uprising Blacklabel act Jay Shepheard. This new jack arrived on the scene last year with the release of his debut EP “Blacklabel #19″ on Compost. With the help of strong DJ support from top Jocks like Joris Voorn, Ben Watt, Prins Thomas, Marcus Worgull, Ludovic Llorca this EP gave Jay good profile straight off the bat which he built upon nicely with the follow up EP “Blacklabel #28″ released in December 2007. At the moment he is finishing his next 12″ on Compost including three new tracks from Jay himself and a strong Manuel Tur & Dplay remix of his first hit “Pipes N Sneakers” (the last track on this compilation). Further keep your eyes open for his recent remix works for Juno Records and Faze Action.

Crowded House - Platinum (2008)

This is a guest post written by Prezdead.

Album CoverRelease group ‘EON’ brings us a neat little surprise from New Zealand, now re-united, band Crowded House. After a long breakup and a sketchy existence, these guys are back after an 11 year ‘break’ with a greatest hits package. Good tunes and rockin’ riffs. Enjoy!

Platinum is a greatest hits package thrown together by Platinum Records. Can’t find a set release date … but we have something to go on after their last album, Time on Earth, released in June of 2007 & reaching #1 in Australia and #3 in the UK.

Crowded House is a rock group formed in Melbourne and led by New Zealand musician and singer-songwriter Neil Finn. Finn is widely recognised as the primary songwriter and creative direction of the band, having led it through several incarnations, drawing members from New Zealand (himself, Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner), Australia (Paul Hester, Nick Seymour, Peter Jones and Craig Hooper) and the United States (Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod).

The Forbidden Kingdom R5 XViD-PUKKA

A super popular action flick The Forbidden Kingdom starring Jet Li and Jackie Chan is finally available in a decent quality after the first cam - PUKKA released their traditional R5 rip from Russian video source. The quality is awesome as usually and I really recommend this martial arts fantasy movie to everyone. Unless you need subtitles, there’s no need to wait for anything better!

In “Forbidden Kingdom,” American teenager Jason (Michael Angarano), who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kungfu classics, finds an antique Chinese staff in a pawn shop: the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King (Jet Li). With the lost relic in hand, Jason unexpectedly finds himself transported back to ancient China. There, he meets the drunken kungfu master, Lu Yan (Jackie Chan); an enigmatic and skillful Silent Monk (Jet Li); and a vengeance-bent kungfu beauty, Golden Sparrow (Crystal Liu Yi Fei), who lead him on his quest to return the staff to its rightful owner, the Monkey King - imprisoned in stone by the evil Jade Warlord (Collin Chou) for five hundred years.

Neil Diamond - Home Before Dark (2008)

This is a guest post written by Chinballs.

Neil Diamond’s latest? I know you must think I’m kidding, but I think I’m going to give this a shot. It’s produced by Rick Rubin, who very simply might be the greatest record producer that wasn’t recently involved in a murder trial. When you combine that with the fact that everyone knows at least some Neil songs, he’s had a movie declare him “America’s greatest singer-songwriter”(Saving Silverman, definitely a funny flick), who knows, it just might end up being a really good album.

Home Before Dark is the long awaited new album from legendary artist Neil Diamond. Home Before Dark was produced by legendary producer Rick Rubin who also produced Neil’s critically acclaimed 12 Songs.

Neil Diamond is one of pop music’s most enduring and successful singer-songwriters. As a successful pop music performer, Diamond scored a number of hits worldwide in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Critic William Ruhlmann wrote of Diamond, “As of 2001, he claimed worldwide record sales of 115 million copies, and as of 2002 he was ranked third, behind only Elton John and Barbra Streisand, on the list of the most successful adult contemporary artists in the history of the Billboard chart.” As of May 2005 Diamond had sold 120 million records worldwide, including 48 million records in the U.S.

HBO to sell TV shows on iTunes

Time Warner Inc’s HBO cable network is expected to start selling shows on Apple iTunes digital entertainment service, with flexible pricing, sources familiar with the discussions said on Monday. Episodes of some HBO shows are likely to be sold at the standard price of $1.99 per episode or higher, these sources said, marking the first time Apple has agreed to selling television shows at different prices in the United States. The deal could be announced as early as Tuesday, one of the sources said. Although some global iTunes stores, including Japan, already sell songs at different prices, Apple has resisted offering music or television shows at different prices for the sake of simplicity for consumers.

But studio and music company executives have pushed for variable pricing, such as the ability to sell some content at lower prices and new releases at higher prices, which they believe would improve sales from its older catalogs. Apple’s pricing structure also was part of the reason why NBC Universal decided last year to pull its shows from iTunes. Since then, NBC has made some shows available for streaming on Apple’s iPhone as well made some available for sale on iTunes’s U.K. store. For HBO — home to hit series like “The Sopranos” and “Sex and the City” — the move marks the first time it has made its shows available for sale in electronic form. It is currently testing a broadband service for subscribers in Wisconsin, which streams episodes of shows shortly after their first airing.

Closing The Ring 2007 DVDRip XviD-RESERVED

A pretty decent romantic drama Closing The Ring has been released by group RESERVED few hours ago. The movie isn’t too well-known but it collects a fairly positive feedback from audience and critics. According to the description and reviews, this is mostly “chick flick” so you can consider watching it with your girlfriend. The quality of this 2 CD rip is pretty great with a decent video bitrate and 6 channel AC3 stereo.

From one of the world’s most respected filmmakers comes a deeply moving love story, interwoven between present day and World War II. Spanning 50 years, “Closing the Ring” tells the story of how an American woman honoured a wartime promise, with a lifetime of denial - and how the discovery of a gold ring brought her back to life.

Powerset introduces clever search engine

In a newly-opened online showcase, search engine specialist Powerset is now previewing a contextual search engine seen by some as a possible threat to Google, Yahoo and other major players through its support for “conversational phrasing.” Although right now, Powerset queries Wikipedia only, rumors are circulating that investment bank Allen & Co. is shopping the emerging natural language search engine to potential buyers that might even include Microsoft, which decided to drop its recent attempt to take over Yahoo. Unlike the search engines of Web sites like Google, Yahoo, and Ask.com, for example, Powerset does not rely on keyword searches.

Instead, users submit their queries as questions that don’t necessarily need to include keywords. Like traditional search engines the results are returned as URL links, often accompanied by pieces of text from the linked pages. With the Powerset search engine, however, the answer is often included directly within the search results. Users can expand the result to see the full text with pertinent sentences highlighted. Indexing the web is expensive, though, and Powerset’s way of doing it requires even more time and computing power dedicated to a web page. That’s why they say they aren’t indexing the entire web yet - the company has raised just $12.5 million. Powerset is has taken a lot of criticism for their goal of trying to redefine how people search the web ( including from us). But their lofty goals are what makes Silicon Valley so great - succeed or fail, Powerset is trying to do something pretty spectacular.
