Iesope Drift aka Obscurum, Kotea, Mugon, Ostia, Shallow, Tungston... is a long-time favourite of mine, and I just found out that they have a Bandcamp for both Iesope Drift and Obscurum. The releases on their labels, Element Com, Clip, Exalt, and Seico Corp are essential to any and all industrial/techno connoisseurs. The original vinyl releases on Seico Corp are already quite expensive, so it's nice to see that they're finally released in digital.

You can probably deduce that it was meant to be a promotional CD to be given out at Sónar 2007, but there was no accompanying press release and there's no information on how many were made. I'll get Esa's copy on loan, I'll just have to go pick it up.

I reached out out to @esaruoho and he pulled up a copy of Greetings From Finland from his archives and put up some information on his site.

The Trump Era Sucks and Needs to Be Over (Matt Taibbi)
-
Out now.

The Locust album is one of 11 and part of a compilation, Touched by Silence, all the covers have the same theme based on tree stumps and/or growth rings. but it's the only cover that's just line graphics instead of being based on a photograph - the wooden box cover being the other exception and I think they're base on a similar vector shape. tDR's recycling and recombining things all the time, so I'm not surprised.

How to Destroy Surveillance Capitalism (Cory Doctorow, OneZero)

AFAIK the Japanese don't really buy that many CDs (or DVDs) because they can be rented. That's been a weird part of their media consumption landscape for a long time.

I must apologise, I really thought you we're trolling me with a wrong price, but then I figured that you meant the $79.95 with VAT, which makes about £75, so I'm sorry, @NewSchoolScience, for my inane reaction. Nevertheless, it's still a relative bargain in absolute monetary terms compared to about £89 for the releases when bought separately. As for the price of a digital album, $12 is about 10 € is about £9, that's within the average price range of a full album on Bandcamp, most albums I've bought recently have been between 8-12 € (£7-10), EPs for about 5-8 € (£4-7) . But would I buy the collection or the releases in question for that price? No, because I don't like the music (that much). YMMV.

Discovering Scarfolk Scarfolk Annual

As it happens, a Humble Bundle just came up including the whole run of The Boys in digital, so you can grab the lot for a pittance.

It's a discount of 16.7 % compared to buying the eight releases separately for $12 each. It's also a bit silly to compare the price over duration of any release, because music is not sausage bought by length. If you're being humorous, I'm oblivious to it.

Check out the original comics, they're way more graphic and explicit than the series, which has been toned down as to avoid getting rated X. The source material (released 2006-2012) is way more "edgy" than the series, the series has more emphasis on the (dark) humour.

To be specific, The Boys themselves are not superheroes, but that's just me giving the ol' nit a pick. Yes, it's very good, but like a lot of comic book adaptations, the original comics are even better. Same with Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, the comic books are way weirder and better. Doom Patrol is also very much weird-out anti-hero series, and again - the comics are awesome, too. I'm actually looking forward to Robert Pattinson as The Batman, it looks even grittier and dark than Nolan's.

Saw Tenet today with the mrs. Nolan's a long time favourite, and wasn't disappointed. Right up my alley, although I was expecting it to be more complex.

Here's some I've been into recently, everything's not strictly industrial: there's some deep dark things, experimental things and whatnot, it's all good - this is what my techno sets sound like.

Beyond the Black Rainbow (Panos Cosmatos, 2010). I was introduced to the OST by Sinoia Caves first, then I realized that it was from a movie; not fantasy per se, but trippy and weird, at times it looks like a Boards of Canada music video. Highly recommended, both the movie and the soundtrack. I also liked Sinoia Caves' first album, The Enchanted Persuader.
-
Yeah, probably because people have cancelled their order (me included) due to the digitals getting rescinded from the release. Bah, humbug.

Netflix's Immigration Nation. I knew about a lot of the things in the series, but FFS.

I have linked to it a couple of times previously - Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy's one and only album, Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury, is probably my favourite hip-hop album ever and I just listened to all of it after a longish hiatus - it still sounds as good as ever, and the lyrics are exceptionally poignant criticism of a lot of issues in the US in 1992 - and in 2020. The first track, Satanic Reverses, repeats this multiple times: Television, The Drug Of The Nation is a full-on criticism of the superficiality and anti-intellectualism of the natiion: The title track, Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury: Everyday Has Become A Health Risk: The album is also produced really well, if you haven't heard it, I suggest you do - highly recommended.
