  1. These arrived yesterday and fuck me they are good. APK just keeps getting better and better. My least favourite here is probably confluence (still good mind) and that was a 2002 release

    Avatar (2009)

    The money grossed is not adjusted for inflation. If you do that then Avatar is still at number 26! Seriously I fail miserably to understand what the hype was all about in this movie. I was expecting it to have a shit story with weak acting and have everything focus on the CG world. What I wasn't expecting was a script that sounded like it had been written by a 10 year old, cheesy ass lines like Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream. Absolutely gag worthy. But it's hard to be disappointed when you expect shit and get god awful shit. No the big disappointment was the CG. I mean seriously guys, it's crap! It may use state of the art techniques but everything looks so fake and never once was I drawn in by it. Seeing as I was not drawn in by the story, acting or anything else I was hugely pissed off. I guess that with so much money being thrown at this monstrosity that people feel like they have to like and don't have the strength of mind to go against the flow. Well probably not with some people but then there is no accounting for taste. Avatar is the Skazi of movies and I feel sorry for people who think that this is a visual treat as they have obviously never seen a real visual treat (or are impressed by fake plasticky looking bollocks, I bet you all like Megan Fox and other such visual monstosities?) I guess the main reason I am pissed off is that in Japan it costs 2000 yen ($22)to see a movie at the cinema and there is much better things I would have rather spent my money on. At least now I know who not to get movie recommendations from. Almost everyone!
  3. Cool! Today I received an order I placed at DataObscura's web shop I got The Circular Ruins - Confluence The Winterhouse - Sanctuary Robert Davies - Terrestre Nunc Stans and Mystified - One Thousand Dreams Nunc Stans - The Unnamable Robert Davies - Gallery of Spirits Nunc Stans - Meridian The Winterhouse - Lost Nunc Stans - Timeless and Various - Portraits although it's not a DataObscura release. I have been listening to these all day and I am very happy with the music here. Nunc Stans is great and Robert Davies - Gallery Of Spirits is even better than I was hoping
  4. Your post seems to be lacking a list of any kind
  5. The Alchemy Concert & Falling Into The Sky are fantastic. 2 albums I enjoy time and time again Land Of The Blind & Realm Of Possibility are merely great I probably like Land Of The Blind a bit more.

    Aes Dana - Leylines

    It is Celtic and is the name of a mythical Irsih race also called Tuatha Dé Danann. Probably pronounced Ay as da na
  7. The best psy store in Tokyo recently closed although Tower Records just re-did their ambient/healing/shite new world crap section and put ambient and electronica in their own jizz worthy section. It is now really really hard to go to Shibuya
  8. Lustmord - The Place Where The Black Stars Hang Robert Rich - Somnium
  9. Could we add Steve Brand + ISHQ - Spiritual Science / The Voice From Home in the chill section as it was beautiful and I want to vote for it I am almost ready to vote. Just expecting a shipment of what I missed then I'll know
  10. I'd love to hear that re-mastered (or just mastered ) np Secede - Tryshasla
  11. Steve Brand & Ishq - The Voice From Home for the 3rd time in a row

    Titanic, Hulk, fourth kind and paranormal activity all get straight 0/10 so yes I have seen some bad movies and this ranks almost as the worst but not quite.
  13. Just out of curiosity, how much did you get for it? Ignore me if this is too personal.

    Because it was shit!!!! I am ashamed that I bowed to public pressure and went to see this piece of garbage. Absolutely awful. The CG just pissed me off with it's fake glossiness of it all. Seriously, I don't get what people are getting so worked up about it for? I have seen much more stunning movies than this. Innocence for a start impressed me much much more visually AND had a decent story. This? This was crap, the gimmick of having it in 3D was much needed as without this would be a 1/10 instead a 2/10. At least I know who not to ask for advice about movies again!
  15. I only have the one copy I am afraid I am unwilling to give up, though as I am well aware of the good deals you have done in the past, if I find it for cheap again I will put it aside for you and not bother with all that ebay crap. I know the chances of this are small so I wish you good luck in re-finding this gem.
  16. If I have to work or study I generally listen to more upbeat music as I cannot help but focus on the ambient if I play that
  17. Yeah, they should arrive around next monday (I hope) and then I have nothing to do but listen to music
  18. I just ordered some ambient from DataObscura The Circular Ruins - Confluence The Winterhouse - Sanctuary Robert Davies - Terrestre Nunc Stans and Mystified - One Thousand Dreams Nunc Stans - The Unnamable Robert Davies - Gallery of Spirits Nunc Stans - Meridian The Winterhouse - Lost Nunc Stans - Timeless Various - Portraits (The Circular Ruins, Saul Stokes James Johnson, Interstitial, Christopher Short, and Vir Unis.) Far too much but hey, I was doing retail therapy
  19. Very nice, smooth and lovely. Better than his fullon but I prefer his chill Nice to see he doesn't pigeon hole himself
  20. Viridian Sun - Solar Noise
  21. Well ambient is supposed to be as engaging as it is ignorable right? That means you can put it on lose focus & not notice any of the music. It really needs to the right circumstances but once you get into the genre these circumstances become easy to come by and more circumstances than before are right for the music. When I first stareted listening to ambient I had to sit fully focused to enjoy it (still the best way) but now I can enjoy it while reading, walking about, on the train etc. It's not an easy genre to like but I think if you can get into the rewards are top notch
  22. Shpongle - Crystal Skulls (Western Rebel Alliance Remix)
  23. I have just finished Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? And I can say in this case that the movie Bladerunner which is based on it is much better than the book. It is a rare case when this will happen though and Bladerunner had the stunning sets, beautiful soundtrack and was losely based on the book so it was OK to get rid of the crap and put in awesomeness!
  24. What a bizare thing to say On topic, anything that is soft and warm
  25. A new link for any interested party
