William Orbit - Hello Waveforms
spotlight HEADROOM
Once again, William Orbit demonstrates why he is one of the most diverse and provocative electronic music artists today. Hello Waveforms, an ambient excursion with distinctive melodies and thick atmospheres, showcases Orbit's dynamic talents as a performer and producer without conceit. Many of the fragrant tracks including "Sea Green" and "Humming Chorus" are perfect for reflection after a long night in the clubs or looking up at the stars. Just gorgeous. LISTEN!

As Zoo Brazil and Laid, this Swedish duo have been behind some of the better selling underground house records of the last couple of years. Boy is warm, sensual Deep house wrapped around pulsing four on the floor drums. Slade keeps things raw and stripped back, with skittering old school machine rhythms joining scattered bleeps for a late night jack track. LISTEN!

../ Fripp Records New Windows Sounds

Microsoft Taps Fripp, and not Eno, for New Vista Sound Palette

Robert Fripp, formally of King Crimson, has been tapped to record new sounds for Microsoft's next generation operating system dubbed "Vista." This is the first major update of the Windows operating system (OS) in five years.

Microsoft recently posted a poorly shot and edited video on their Channel 9 website of the recording session. The ethereal and ambient sounds emerging from Fripp's guitar showcase a musical direction for the new Vista sounds, but this video in no way reveals the final sounds that will be included when Vista is formally released sometime this year.

The Future: What?? No Lil' Jon produced sounds? Yeah! Yeah!
