Sonic Animation - Orchid for the Afterworld (1999)
Genre: Dance/Techno | MP3 | avg 240 kbps | 230 Mb

One of the best Australian dance albums this year. The first disc contains the more radio friendly tracks, including the singles that have got a fair bit of airplay in Australia. The second disc is a lot more like their club sound – really good techno. Put on whichever disc you're in the mood for. And if you get the chance, make sure you catch them live.

The Art of Travel - Alain de Botton

The Art of Travel - Alain de Botton
Audio Book | MP3 | avg 91kbps | 2003

Rather than lavishing pages on the sumptuous taste of a sun-ripened olive in Provence, philosopher de Botton examines what inspires us to escape the humdrum and purchase tickets to Tahiti, tromp through the countryside, or wander Rome. Left to one voice, such an inquiry might grow dull, but de Botton uses the lives and works of artists and writers to explore the premise. With each chapter, the author dissects our motivation to depart normality and go (he quotes Baudelaire) "anywhere, anywhere!" De Botton's anecdotal accounts of his own travels illustrate the theme of each chapter, such as exoticism or escapism, showing the unexpected (but all too common) disappointments inherent in getting away. Then, using the interior and artistic lives of others, de Botton probes the psychological underpinnings of why we go. The book shines when discussing Flaubert's lifelong urge for Egypt and painter Edward Hopper's affinity for the desolation of fuel stops and Automats. This literary travelogue feeds hungry readers seeking self-insight.

Paul Grabowsky - Tales of Time and Space

Paul Grabowsky - Tales of Time and Space
MP3 | Extreme, (avg. bitrate: 245kbps) | 122mb | Jazz

There is little question that for the public at large, pianist and bandleader Paul Grabowsky is the largest question mark when it comes to the personnel on this album. Holding company with Branford Marsalis, Joe lovano, Scott Tinkler, Ed Schuller, and Jeff “Tain” Watts is no small feat. And although the liner notes to Tales of Time and Space attempt to answer the question of who Grabowsky is, the just-under-fifty Australian pianist is more than a musician with wide ranging roots in jazz and film scoring, he’s a consummate pianist and composer who warrants significant attention.
