very funny, strange and intriguing two part dream where Alison Goldfrapp (go buy Felt Mountain on CD for Christmas for
someone - classic LP) wanted to meet me at a party, and I was getting caught up in what relationships really mattered.
second part of the dream concerned playing another team who had invented a game of dodgeball type setup with a tennis
ball and were throwing it at people in an open garden area with chairs and me trying to eat a small plate of fish curry.
for some reason i thought i had to go back to school - probably because i was still in awe that a person like Alison
might have wanted to meet me, and then she re-entered the dream where our team were laying the ball short as bait for them
to keep moving from their central marker, through a forest partition with a brick wall being very coloured one side.

it's now 7:23 as i write this, and i thought i had the wherewithal to stay up and make music, but instead i'm going to
return to bed and drift off for another hour or so. Sleep

goldfrapp mp3 cd discussed as a potential christmas present for my parents, but they say it's not essential.
sent music to ski le stat.

time for change thanks, saying linkworker attended the event i intended to go to.

Went to test The Beehive Carterton's pub food 2nd time, and it was splendid. I had the Rump Steak on the
specials menu with Diane (Mushroom and white wine with a slight mustard taste) sauce. Steak was a big fat slab and chips
were some of the best I've had. Salad was well garnished. And the place seems really hygenic when I've been there.

Mum made great roast duck, pancakes, spring onions, cucumber, tomato and cheese pizza, rice and roasted veg
throw-together meal in the evening for the 3 of us.

I tweeted about dreams, mixes, drones and Paddox's latest album.

"Is it consistent with Scripture?" That would ultimately deride the divine aspect and multidimensionality of spiritual
practice. God is everything. It (he or she or trans) is good and evil. All you can hope for in the respect of humanity
is that those values are congruent with what is perceived as humane, by the vast majority of people living on the Earth,
who want peace.

All sounds using the internal oscillator might sound a little bit better by fixing a specific rounding error.
Optimized sample memory management.
VST plug-ins: Enhanced denormalizations guard.
Note Modifier: Velocity parameter can be set to 12700% so to practically max out all velocities.
Fixed a potential crash bug when trying to paste a module while no module is on the clipboard.
Fixed a couple of issues with the Parameter Event Generator module.
Fixed a specific problem in the VST engine which caused that the timing info given to the plugin was not OK at the end of the composition loop in case the audio engine block size was an integer multiple of the loop length.

Disappointment and heartache can be the tragic offspring of unfounded optimism.

"We are only a tiny chapel and there are not many of us but we are reminded of the saying by Edward Everett Hall which has
been quoted so often before:

I am only one
But still I am one
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do something that I can do."

'When Who Does What Where'

Once upon a time there were four people named, Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. When there was an important job
to be done, Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did. When Nobody did it
Everybody got angry because it was Somebody's job. Everybody thought Somebody would do it but Nobody realised that
Anybody would do it. So it ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the
first place.

FR 115 (reworked): Tropic Of Coldness – Demography Of Data (Organic Industries Of Hamburg) - signed < 3 mot of this going live on the 4000+ read wbs

The last album I heard from Tropic Of Coldness was "Commuting". I was impressed with its lithe mellifluousness in melody and contrasts between compositional rigidity. I like "Demography Of Data" even more! This LP transgresses along the roulette-spinning rimshot of Grouper, Lawrence English and Loren Connors rolled into one. It's instrumental - no vocals - and speaks in soft steps towards a kind of polarity enuui – harmonic heat with moodiness cold, candle with no flame to power it, only ultramundane energy as the power plantation.

That's a benefit as the imagery is also ultramundane; a beyond-physical experience transcending mere enjoyment into enacting something deeply immersive, like gazing out on a coastline. "Circles In An Empty Square" is all reverbed guitar power chords with a shoegaze-y causality to it. "Brain Drain, Curly Girl" goes further into fragmented options and shares its ground with the thoughtful tapestries of afterlife bliss. My favourite, however, comes halfway in the aptly agenda-titled "The Distressing Dilemma Of Rational Choices". A pensive drone starts out the piece with layers of guitar feedback gradually on the attack. It has more in common with depression and sleep – the polarities at work as sleep relieves depression – so is perfect personally. For 10 minutes you feel like the world has cocooned you in a gentle shell and is caressing your ears with a warm drone pulse that breathes like a lion after nailing a large kill.

Tropic Of Coldness, then, it could be said, use synthetic textures and organic guitar treatments to produce a gorgeous, time-lapsed sound that feels at no odds with technology, which makes it partly timeless, the banquet that's always there for you in times of a crisis. This quality is no mean feat to achieve – and it's easy to say there's a wealth of stuff similar – but only when we have focus so exact on the music at hand does the message reveal itself to us as a better-than, rather not an also-ran. If you've been intrigued by any of the sounds I've reviewed for Fluid Radio in the past 130 instalments, I can say this is one of the most memorable and affecting for me – it is right up my street, I can listen and savour it like a creamy curry sauce. Tropic Of Coldness produce creamy and dreamy ambient gems, and with "Demography Of Data", they'll solidify their place as needed chefs.

'Demography Of Data' is out now on Organic Industries Of Hamburg in CD and digital formats.

"Don Juan and his fellow sorcerers laughed uproariously at the merest mention of my turmoils. Don Juan explained that they
were not really laughing at me but at themselves. My cognitive problems reminded them of the ones they had had when the
boundary of the second attention had collapsed on them, just as it had on me. Their awareness, like mine, had not been
prepared for it, he said.

"Every sorcerer goes through the same agony", don Juan went on. Awareness is an endless area of exploration for sorcerers
and man in general. In order to enhance awareness, there is no risk we should not run, no means we should refuse. Bear in
mind, however, that only in soundness of mind can awareness be enhanced". ~ Carlos Castenada, The Art Of Dreaming p184.

"He explained that since we entered into that world with all-out physicality, the fixation of our assemblage points on the
position preselected by the inorganic beings was so overpowering that it created a sortof fog that obliterated any memory
of the world we came from. He added that the natural consequence of such an immobility, as in the case of the sorcerer's of
antiquity, is that the dreamer's assemblage point cannot return to its habitual position.

"Think about this', he urged us. 'Perhaps this is what is happening to all of us in the world of daily life. We are here,
and the fixation of our assemblage point is so overpowering that it has made us forget where we came from, and what our
purpose was for coming here.'

Don Juan did not want to say any more about our journey. I felt that he was sparing us further discomfort". ~p197, Ch10.
