William Ørbit - Pieces in a Modern Style (2000)
William Orbit (aka Ørbit) is a British musician and producer who has throughout his lifetime received much critical acclaim, notably for his production work with Madonna. When Pieces, Orbit's sixth solo release, came out in 2000, I was intrigued by the idea, but also a little wary: more often than not, digitalized classical music verges dangerously close to kitsch (if you've seen A Clockwork Orange, I'm sure you know what I mean!). Nevertheless, Pieces is a meticulously crafted album, very warm and beatifully touching. You'll mostly hear deep synths, little blips and an acoustic guitar here and there, all merging very nicely. I think it would be fair to say that this is a masterpiece in the genre (most other similar attempts reaching back to the 1970s). If you're into soft, lush ambient music or possibly if you're a lover of classical music, I think you'll like this. And I'm quite interested in your opinion here!- Tracks

Wo-ho Moog! I wouldn't speak ill of that film (or any other by Kubrick, for that matter). I remember having read the book before I even knew there was a film version, too - and both blew me away! I was referring to nothing else but the kitsch elements in it, especially the film. Kubrick raises kitsch to a new level, but it's still kitsch, I guess grotesque in a way.
Mucho respecto, Oh My Brother!
i like to hear this music and very curious about this but helaas this is not ment for Argentina people because at megaupload is an discrimination of 3th world people so not your faulth
but i want to tell so you know

hi there. this looks interesting but seems to need a password and i can't find it anywhere?
help????
sorry, my eyes were still blurry, thx!
Don't worry Moogy, my 6-foot deep respect for the dead will ensure Korpus getting a special upload to music-heaven. Would there be rapidshare, had Hitler won the war? Who knows...
And mr Anonymous, I know ALL about blurry eyes, since I wear plastic lenses... ;-)
Blurry eyes and hazy minds:
we often err, trying to find
a way through thicket and thorn.
Late at night and early morning:
intoxication is for many a way
of life, even though we all know
it is a spiral winding down,
down to slow, dim ignorance
masked by loud extravagance.
Dionysos, you who stand tall
and proud: allow the lost to call
upon you and keep their balance!
I was curious and although I had trouble with the pass @ 1st, the end result was: too new age=eeee
for my taste, but appreciate the share!!!
I was actually thinking to put this one on my blog. Definitely not Orbit's best but still a very nice and interesting opus...
Btw, I used your Praxis link since mine got deleted from Rapidshare and I was unable to upload it again. I put your blog in my links too. It's a very nice blog! Keep up the good work!
@MoogPower, though a HUGE Kubrik fan, (Barry Lindon, Path of Glory & 2001 are definitely in my all time top 20!), I can't stand and never understood what was so good about Clockork Orange... A mediocre movie in my opinion.
Hello from germany,

Hi people
I do not know what to give for Christmas of the to friends, advise something ....
Hello. Good day
Who listens to what music?
I Love songs Justin Timberlake and Paris Hilton
Give them a tie...
But if you would like me to re-up anything on this website, I'll do it for you. Just let me know in time.
Beyond that: anything by Laika, Mazzy Star, FSOL, "Ghost Reveries" by Opeth if they're into metal, or download loads of minimal house from the links on the right side of the screen - I gave some friends loads of that stuff and they really loved it - and it's free & legal.
Or a tie, that is.
I am really excited! This will be my first time visiting, good stuff. Very useful. Enjoyed the visit!
