The single is lifted from their self-titled debut album, out this week with Morr Music. Consequence of Sound says the duo “conjure washes of bass-forward sound…peppered with airy lyrics and fleeting repetitive wisps of piano, guitar, and percussion.”Orcas bridges together the furthest aspects of the two’s…

Steelseries has one of the best mice that we’ve reviewed in NeuFutur. It is based off of the Xai, and provides gamers with a number of fixes over the original. The mouse is designed to be beat to hell; no amount of hard-core gaming will even put a dent into the mouse. The finish on the top side can easily be wiped off, while the programming aspect of the…

“Hauntingly sexy might sound like an oxymoron, but that’s exactly the way we’d describe the band Magic Wands. The Los Angeles-based duo make the sort of music that you could dance to all night long – and then keep hearing in your dreams. Think shimmering guitar lines, taut drum beats, and echoing vocals, all liberally borrowed from dark ’80s pop bands while still sounding wholly of the moment.” – Elle…

This drama will play on viewers’ heartstrings. It is not just the roles turned in by Vanessa Williams, Rolanda Watts, or Amenha Dymally, but rather the sheer applicability of the events in the film to viewers’ lives. I believe that anyone that has been hurt in their life will be able to identify with Regina (Watts). Regina has to deal with a drug-addled daughter (Monica, played by Salina Duplessis), a…
Ottoman Palace starts out Mediterranean, and the track allows Amberfern to create a bold sounding title. The track kicks into high gear at about the 50 second mark, providing listeners with a brief glimpse of the hustle and bustle of a marketplace. Moving from that, there is still a quick tempo and motivated feel to this introductory track. Moving into Es Grau, Amberfern shifts the album’s paradigm considerably; the song…
Rajendra Teredesai’s Divine Dimension begins with Antar Naad (Call Within), a track that sets the stage for the different approaches and styles that are presented during the album’s runtime. Teredesai plays the bansuri (a type of bamboo flute), and creates compositions that provide listeners with a considerable amount of instrumental narration. Each of the compositions stretches out over a six-plus minute runtime, allowing Teredesai ample opportunity to expand on arrangements…

Members from several of the Trespass America support line-up – Kyle “Gumby” Gunther from…
The seventh studio album from German thrash icons NECRONOMICON, entitled Invictus, is out now in North America via Massacre Records. Having amassed a major cult following in the thrash metal scene through heavy international touring, and through the band’s previous six highly acclaimed albums released since their 1984 formation, the NECRONOMICON of 2012 is undoubtedly a stronger beast than ever before. Recorded at Arson Music Studio, and mixed and mastered…
This is a title that comprises both Deadliest Warrior: The Game and Deadliest Warrior: Legends. This represents a physical version of the two aforementioned titles, which were previously only available for gamers through their respective online marketplaces. To further add value to this video game, Spike has added a number of Deadliest Warrior episodes. The title itself does a great job in showcasing the “what-if” scenarios that fuel Deadliest Warrior;…
A little backstory: Long Day’s Journey Into Night is a film that was based off of a 1956 radio drama by Eugene O’Neill. This play was presented in a number of productions; Laurence Olivier took a turn at it in the National Theatre’s run in 1971. This film is an adaptation of the National Theatre’s version, and seems to have a little better quality of actors (the aforementioned Olivier, Denis…
Lionsgate has included three features in this movie pack: Doctor Strange, The Invincible Iron Man, and Planet Hulk. These releases are as clean and as sharp as they were in their original releases, but they have been bundled into a Blu-Ray pack for a cheaper price ($19.99, but can be found cheaper on online retailers). These movies showcase both the larger and smaller characters in the Marvel Universe. While everyone…
There is no denying how popular Elmo is o the audiences that watch eir. However, I feel that the increasing focus of Sesame Street on this character has made the show into a substantively different beast that it was when I was watching. That is neither good nor bad; I feel that the presence of Elmo allows for the younger set to understand and properly receive different messages and morals,…
