"Ghost Box is one of the most cherished labels here at undomondo thanks to their nostalgic soundscapes and the hauntology inspired conceptualism which Juppe describes as "There is an element of nostalgia and attraction to the past but for us it really is the idea of trying to convey the feeling of things half-remembered from a fictional past or a parallel world."

"2008 was a good year with lots of great albums, but there wasn't a definitive best even among the top 10, perhaps the age of perfectionism is a bygone dream. Enjoy!

It seems this has been roaming around for a while but i 've just heard of it and it was an instant stumble, considering the fact that i'm pretty big on rip-off news.

Timbaland has swiped an old MOD track and claimed it as his own, both in a series of exclusive ringtones he produced and in a Nelly Furtado track, also one of his productions. The 2005 ringtone and Furtado's "Doin it" does indeed carry striking resemblance to "Acid Jazzed Evening", an 2000 MOD piece by Finnish Janne Suni ("Tempest").

Well Timbo, so much for productivity eh?

A surprising number of astronauts are also musicians--and they love to play in space.

"Robert Moog was working on something even more revolutionary -- and weird -- when he died last year at age 71. Now that creation sits in the Hudson County attic of composer John Eaton, just waiting for some computer wizard to come over and hook it up.

It's called the Eaton-Moog Multiple-Touch-Sensitive Keyboard, a name only an engineer could love. That's fine with Eaton. He and Moog spent four decades honing a tool for virtuosos, not a toy.

"It's very difficult to play. But an instrument should be difficult to play. That's the only way to master musical materials, by overcoming these difficulties," says Eaton, 70, surrounded in his cramped attic studio by upright pianos, ancient computers and programs and scores from his 20 operas.

What is unique -- and challenging -- about the Eaton-Moog keyboard is how many ways each key can be programmed to respond. How far you depress a key matters. The actual area covered by your finger changes the sound. Sliding your finger across a key's length or width can approximate, say, a vibrato effect on a violin string. How hard you push a depressed key matters, too.

Eaton jokingly dubs this keyboard the "Can't-Resist-A-Sizer." How does it sound? Think theremin crossed with a baseball organ. Throw in some psychedelic chemicals, and you begin to get the idea."
