If you were a fan of the original Fallout series, you already know Mark Morgan, one of the most unique composers of the 90s. His soundtrack for Fallout 1/2 has already status of a classic masterpiece in the game OST genre. Today I would like to introduce you to [Andrew Lahiff] . He makes exceptionally good space ambient tracks that sometimes resemble the atmosphere of Fallout. Just listen to these tracks:

Ok, we are almost in the middle of the summer. Some words about computer music history to celebrate this. Onestop.mid is a midi file found within the Windows Media folder on most Windows starting from Windows XP back in the 90s. It was composed by David Yackley. Despite Wikipedia assurance that the main purpose of it was an easter egg thing, music was mostly used as a troubleshooting demo song for Microsoft technicians, which was available on almost all Windows installations.

I know that significant amount of visitors come here to acquire quality retrowave stuff, but today i’ve decided to stir things up a bit to bring a piece of variety and freshness to the webpage. Here is some solid trip-hop into your years. This soundtrack comes from Belorussian noir-RPG game [Backbone] . DANSHIN ▀ STAY WITH ME [PART II] Not fond of Trip-Hop? Ok, here is some cool Jazz.

A friend of mine introduced me to [Lebrock] band by sending me a tune he liked. I’ve searched YT and find out that crew is surely has multiple hits in their repertory. Here is a nice couple. LEBROCK ▀ HOLLOW LEBROCK ▀ STAR Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2024-06-25 Forget about last two [or so] seasons, because they are complete boredom! As for me, i think that [YOUNG SHELDON] is a worthy prequel to [Big Bang TV-series] . Great warm analog atmosphere of 80s.Watched it excitedly in one gulp. A bit too pop, with rare deterioration in scenario quality but very solid in terms of actor performance and overall design. If you have bad mood for some reason this thing will fix you up at no time.

I’m not a big fan of [Godfrey Reggio] as a non-verbal filmmaker, because of dominance of marvelous [Ron Fricke] in this category. But [Once Within A Time] surely hit the spot in a right way. Unconventional mind cleaner at it`s best! Surrealistic post-apocalyptic analog tale with subtle digital flavoring introducing reality shaped into inner brain atmospheric vistas.

Random finding of solid UK-based synthwave band. GUNSHIP ▀ MONSTER IN PARADISE Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

[KING OF THE HILL] is a hilarious cartoon for adults, which turns rather boring [at first glance] show into complete grotesque action. The most interesting part is that such weird and funny things people are doing in real life. Straightforward hillbilly [Hank] always protects his son [Booby] from everything interesting and unusual, turning his life into complete boredom. Presumably such disposition comes from the fact that Cotton, the father of Hank, counts him as the most miserable man in the world, don’t value his interests and opinions under any circumstances.

It’s been a while since Aki Kaurismaki delighted us with his ultra-realistic dramas about generic people. Movie is surely a gulp of fresh air, clearly marking it among fake’n’plastic main-stream so-called hollywood videos. Despite the low amount of words [it is a calling card of director] Fallen Leaves is so emotionally fulfilled. But enough of this, go watch film if you care.

Another gem from highly anticipated one-man band from UK. LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER ▀ NIGHT OR DAY Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

Live performance of the Polish duo. Acoustic piano mixed with synthesizers deliver solid musical texture. Very satisfying, to say the least. Video suggested by Belka205. Enjoy! TWO LANES Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

[Worms W.M.D.] is the most successful modern remake of classic turn-based artillery game [Worms Armageddon] . Beautifully hand-drawn 2D art combined with atmospheric backdrop music make wonders and shape game into sedative for a calm and peaceful pastime.

As a former fan of side-scrolling beat’em up games i surely remember [Streets Of Rage] series on Sega MegaDrive platform. In some regions it was also known as Bar Knuckle. [Streets Of Rage 4] is a modern continuation of vintage trilogy of 90s. High quality hand-drawn animation and brand new soundtrack [with ability to switch to original Streets Of Rage themes] do the thing and mark Streets Of Rage 4 as a worthy continuation of original SOR trilogy.

I often asking myself why popular music bands have extremely mediocre drummers and it seems that nobody cares about it. Here is excellent example of really non-conventional drummer. He definitely knows how to provide exceptional grooves. DAMIEN SCHMITT ▀ AFRICA Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

Continuing topic of non-boring and more importantly underrated movies. Here is another one. [Coherence] is a super atmospheric mystical thriller, which is taking place in only one house during entire movie. Surprisingly such fact doesn’t make it tiresome. Film was peeked [here] .

Tired of boring-linear-dumb movies without proper atmosphere at all? Today i’m suggesting another underrated gem of film industry. Mystical detective thriller [IDENTITY] . No more about it, just watch. IDENTITY TRAILER Imagery by spacedrone808 @Adobe Imagery by spacedrone808 @Freepik

Today’s reality is a quite harsh and fast-changing landscape. We’ve got outbreaks, diseases, constant price increase, wars. On top of that there is insane autocrat shaking his suitcase with red button. What else do we need to feel alive? [Leave The World Behind] is a loooong suspense thriller with unusual cinematic style. I like such things, which stands out from the grey crowd of mainstream sh#te. The main features:

I almost never do reviews of Russian movies, but this one should be an exception. After watching Shapito Show i was quite surprised to see how much efforts were invested. [Sergey Loban] is an author of very experimental [Dust] , which was released previously to Shapito Show. Shapito brings more artistic value and a lot of joy to watch, because of it’s own unpredictability of events. Film consist of four stories, which are happening at the same time and divided into two parts for better watching experience.

You may already noticed that i post entertaining stuff primarily around Fridays, but today is an nice exception and i’m doing it in tuesday. Most of you know [Jackie Chan] due to [Armor Of God 1] and [Armor OF God 2] movies, but after watching them so many times, they’re frankly became such a boredom. As for early Chan’s movies of 70s/80s eras, they are quite weird and not so interesting to me.

As you may already know i like: [Black humour] [Zombie comedy slashers] [Beavis & Butt-head ] cartoon Finnish movies [about plain people] Quite strange concoction? But who really cares? Here is a list of more random films, which are worth to watch. From my point of view of course. [Home Alone 1] / [Home Alone 2: Lost In New York] [Terminator 1] / [Terminator 2] [Evil Dead 1] / [Evil Dead 2] / [Evil Dead 3: Army Of Darkness] [Tucker & Dale vs Evil] / [Wild Tales] [Chronos] / [Baraka] / [Samsara] [Office Space] / [Human Traffic] / [It Crowd] / [Idiocracy] [Johnny Mnemonic] / [Nirvana] / [Hackers] / [Speed] [Falling Down] / [Taxi Blues] / [Taxi Driver] [The Shawshank Redemption] Films that i like to watch in not so distant future:

Despite the widespread opinion regarding [Seagal’s] sanity and his tendency to star in a very low budget trash movies i like couple of his flicks. [Hard To Kill] ► one of his fist appearances on the screen, a little bit excessively touching, but pretty neat [Under Siege 1] ► simply the best movie to date [Under Siege 2: Dark Territory] ► not so good as first part, but definitely worth to watch HARD TO KILL UNDER SIEGE 1 UNDER SIEGE 2: DARK TERRITORY SPECIAL CATEGORY:

Enough of technical computer rant. Here is some pure video art. A short film by [Denis Villeneuve] . What i love in these short films is how the essential essence is compactly concentrated in a such small video footage.
