Farscape: New Album by Lisa Gerrard and Klaus Schulze

Just listened to this today.  Lisa Gerrard was with Dead Can Dance (also did the Gladiator soundtrack) and Klaus Schulze was in Tangerine Dream along with a few other bands.  The new album is 2 CD's long with only 7 songs.  Each song is from 15 to 35 minutes long.  Very ambient music with Gerrard doing her chants/singing (not sure how to describe her technique).  Good for background music while working or trying to sleep or other relaxing activities.  A lot of it runs together after awhile, though.

Here's their Myspace page.  The remix song isn't on the record and doesn't sound like the other songs.  Listen to the samples.  If you like it let me know.

New Dandy Warhols

New album titled "Earth to the Dandy Warhols". I think the message from Earth is: "Stop putting out crap like this and start living up to your potential." I love the Dandy Warhols but their last two albums have been a struggle to get through. The only song on this album that I liked was "Talk Radio." The rest is an experiment in patience as the band tries out all kinds of sounds and never goes anywhere. Don't pay money for this. Spend it on one of their first three albums:

• Dandys Rule, OK? (1995)
• …The Dandy Warhols Come Down (1997)
• Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia (2000)

Hands on a Hard Body

Just discovered that this movie is available for viewing online at Google Video.

Check it out here.

Great movie about the human drama. Some classic lines in it as well. Some interesting names in the credits: Matthew McConaughey (he's from Longview so he must have helped fund it) and Benicio del Toro (not sure how he got in there).

If you are from Texas, or now live in Texas, and haven't seen this you could have your Texas passport confiscated at the border.
