YOUNG DREAMS SIGN TO MODULAR; MP3 DOWNLOAD: ‘YOUNG DREAMS’

Modular Recordings is proud to announce the newest addition to the family: YOUNG DREAMS. The Norwegian collective, headed up by composer/multi-instrumentalist/producer Matias Tellez, gained notice in November 2010, after three songs they uploaded to their Facebook page were picked up on by international music press. Festival appearances followed (By:Larm, Hove Festival, Camden Crawl), and a beautifully shot, faintly unsettling video by Scandinavian director Kristoffer Borgli, which helped cement the band…

Imagine It (DVD)

This documentary has an extraordinary premise – taking the problems in the world in one’s own hands – and showing exactly what can happen if an individual puts their mind to it. This documentary is hosted by former Last Comic Standing star Iliza Shlesinger , which does a tremendous job to make the feature that much more relevant. Trying to get a younger set interested in anything is a Sisyphean…

Generator Rex: Agent of Providence (Xbox 360)

There is a focus on Generator Rex: Agent of Providence for the younger set. However, I believe that the game has more than enough legs for all fans of video games, and that the experience present on Generator Rex: Agent of Providence is sufficiently fun to merit the game’s cost at retail (39.99). This is largely due to the different skills that players will be able to utilize as Rex,…

Cave Story 3D (Nintendo 3DS)

Few games have had the ability to properly engage the Nintendo 3DS. This means that there is little reason to pick up the console. However, I believe that the execution of Cave Story 3D is strong enough that it should be seen as a deciding factor for whether an individual purchases the console. Cave Story 3D is a side-scrolling shooter that will take players no time to learn, but a…

Nikoli’s Pencil Puzzle 3D (Nintendo 3DS)

Puzzle games have usually been much too easy for me, or have such a learning curve to the title that it seems impossible to properly insert oneself into the title. However, Nikoli’s Pencil Puzzle 3D is a game that avoids these pitfalls and is ultimately one of the best puzzle games this year. This is because it takes advantage of the Nintendo 3DS well, and has a game play style…

Also your elbow is scraped up and you think something just caught on fire in the distance — you can see the…
