BBS is acronym which stands for [Bulletin board system]
. It was a distant ancestor of modern internet. In our days of totally non-private web cultivated by google, facebook and apple and other rotten companies BBS could be a neat solution to people who value their privacy and who don’t want to feed greedy corporations with telemery data of their own. Also tech will be useful for people who would like to hide themselves from modern shitty trends and stupid brainwashing or so-called government propaganda.
[DJ Incognito]
is a person who curated music selection for Russian literary radio show [Model Dlia Sborki]
[MDS]. It was aired on 106.8 FM in mid 90s. The concept of the show was reading SciFi stories, which were backed with modern electronic music. Music styles revolved from ambient-trance to trip-hop. DJ Incognito always provided unique’n’immersive atmosphere to the show. It’s a pity that he is no longer in project anymore.
[Mitch]

tracker as the main composing tool. Made majority of tunes for [KungFury]
movie.

I’m not much into rock music, but Porcupine Tree stands out from boring generic rock stuff. [Steven Wilson]
- leader of the project resurrected rock style from it’s ashes. His music represent perfectly brewed concoction of space rock, heavy metal, trance and even ambient ingredients. Most of art are melancholic with unexpected positive explosions. My favourite album is [Voyage 34]
.

[Frank Klepacki]
is well known for [Command & Conqueror]
soundtrack released back in a mid 90s. He brought awesome progressive sound to PC platform, which was pretty innovative especially after FM bleeps’n’blops of the 80s era.
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t have anything against frequency modulation in games. [UFO X-COM: Enemy Unknown]
is an excellent example of how music should be done when you are squeezed by multiple limitations like waveform shapes, file size and so on.
Some nostalgy rant about convinience of older websites and absense of uneeded crap. Don’t you remember?
Here is some fine examples of modern sites, which try to match older web in terms of ergonomics and overall perception.

was very talented person, who can do pop, rock, reggae, ballad or even rap at the same time. And the most important part is that texts of the songs were historically and politically correct and full of life experience.
His art was relevant not only in 90s, but in 2022 also. His contributions becoming even more urgent, especially considering recent “activities” of main senile and quite insane statesman of Russia.

[Shawshank Redemption]
The story about achieving an aim. Almost everybody have such thing in mind. Glory, fame, family, wealth, new toy - whatever.
Despite the fact that i prefer art house movies to mainstream production i’m counting this piece of Hollywood as really good one. Everything in film is well ballanced. Actors, scenario, sountrack. And yeah, emotional punch is pretty tremendous to say the least.
