I am not an adept of the [EBM music]
genre. Music that exists at the intersection of punk and industrial music cultures. It is generally accepted that it originated in Belgium. [Mildreda]
is a recent and moreover pretty interesting musical discovery on the modern electronic scene. Here are two tracks which i find pretty neat. Imagine all the aesthetics of EBM submerged into trancy [Aes Dana]
vibes, backed by [Prodigy]
breakbeat and wrapped into [Underworld]
synth riffs.
If i remember correctly i already promised [not to touch any cameraphones again]
. But what convinced me to take another crack at it was the numerous reviews claiming “it’s the best cameraphone in the world” running Android 13. As you may know, Android 14 brought many groundbreaking changes [at least from my point of view]. One of them is the restriction on installing applications targeted at Android 6.0. Loads of cr#p services and telemetry dialers are included also.
Take a break from the classic retrowave aesthetic and dive into the world of trancy dub patterns spiced up with eastern sound waves. Exceptionally groovy track with funky bass and subtle 303 synth lines from the highly talented UK music producer.

Somewhere in the previous posts i have already done [small rant]
regarding the desired specification of modern smartphone. After fiddling around with the latest [Oppo Find X6 Pro]
aka the best modern cameraphone, i come to a conclusion with myself on how the smartphone specification of my dreams should look like. Consider this as a revisited version of the previous document. And yeah, you will surely see the Oppo review in a while when i free myself up from the daily routine.
I don’t fully understand emotional component of this track. Or it’s the triumphant completion of something or it’s the grandiose beginning of something. Choose your own variant.

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:
I am glad that in this historical video there is no mention of such things as windows 10/11, as they surely did not bring anything new to the world of ergonomics, but rather on the contrary worsened it by a substantinal margin.

If you are fond of computer related stuff in parallel with films, then you are probably familiar with [Simon Boswell]

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.

Good news to Windows 7 users! Operating system will be updated until at least of winter 2026, despite yellow pressed tabloid propaganda that such thing will not happen. Even microsoft official documents show that [system is “dead”]
right from winter of 2020. But what moron listen and trust to official and moreover public statements?
The main trick here is that Windows 7 is based upon Windows NT 6.0 codebase. This is the same codebase upon Windows 2008 R2 was build.

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. OFFICIAL TRAILER

Short answer will be: NONE OF THEM. But if you are not satisfied with that and interested in topic: read below. In this quick blip-note i’ll explain my subjective opinion regarding big corpos and their influence on technology in general. Let’s start from the barebone roots of the problem. There are two people who brought home computing to masses. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Who are they?
First one cheaply bought DOS operating system from [Gary Kildall]
and resold it to IBM for a waaaay bigger money.
[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.
