When people refer to electronic music not being “human” enough, it’s not just about the music: Kraftwerk’s robots had a delicious sense of dry (and some would say, situationally Teutonic) humor.

The young generation is bred to believe in newfound freedoms, and not just downloading digital music. Being a cubicle drone and hearing one’s parents or grandparents regrets in life — deferred happiness — becomes increasingly less attractive, especially when the Internet empowers us to share our insecurities and dreams.

Immersed in a culture of individual responsibility and “take charge of your own life”, is this not a wondrous thing? As independent as each one of us strives to be, validation from others on their parallel, similar, likeminded journeys is nonetheless reassuring.

In addition to being a beautiful, powerful tune that moves fast and slow at the same time, this music video (besides the ambidextrousness) has a potent message: just because you stopped doing something after you “grew up” doesn’t mean you really outgrew it. The animated, overlaid characters — like the bar chart dance sequence — work a treat, and this is laden with emotion. Mistabishi and Matrix are two of my fave DnB (and beyond…) producers because they not only have a profound sense of groove, but through work like this, playfulness and humanity shine through.

Props to Unit 10 Collective for realizing this vision!

Just when you thought mid-late-90s computer animation was behind you. Don’t forget webdesign, either.

I wonder if this was the basis for Xavier: Renegade Angel?

John Boswell is on a laudable mission I can relate to: making science more fun through music with his Symphony of Science musical project. Within all the recent uses of Auto-Tune I've heard, his are among the most beautiful. As I hope for more Michio Kaku and N.D. Tyson appearances, I remastered the music from the first video he did, "A Glorious Dawn".

Compare this to the original:

… and you'll hear I've enhanced the bass (mmm luv how it walks and dances @ 2:09), clarity, and overall punch. 'Twas delighted to hear from John and that he enjoyed it too! If only there were a way to sync new audio tracks with YouTube videos without lossy degradation.

Check out more fan remixes of "A Glorious Dawn" (including Cherimoya Ihn's earlier remaster that inspired me) and let John know what you think!

Pitfall! the classic Atari game in colorful watercolors by docpop. I jones on his style, esp. the rainbow trail — and this makes me wonder how the croc pit was ever so shallow.
