JOE SENT ME rmxs on mark reeder's new album - five point one


"british label chief, producer and musician mark reeder is a product of what many regard as the golden age of science fiction. he grew up in an england dominated by security forces of the future with outsize heads jiggling on strings to save the world from intergalactic menaces, in hit after hit from the gerry anderson stable. he saw doctor who take his first tentative steps into the past and the future on carboard sets populated by jumble sale aliens. in cinema there was the constant threat of communist stealth attacks always from mars or the psychadelic trip that was stanley kubrick’s 2001: a space odyssey. he was fascinated by the synthetic electronic pulsations of the forbidden planet and clockwork orange soundtracks and devoured fan magazines like TV21. wobbly spaceships, cardboard robots, ray guns and bug-eyed monsters; as a child he was drawn to this sometimes quaint, sometimes ominously correct visions of the future. it should come as no surprise then that five point one, his debut compilation of remix work, should concern itself as much with modern technology as it does with music.
 
five point one presents a hand-picked selection of some of reeder’s remixes remastered and re-mixed in crystal clear dolby digital 5.1 surround sound. present is his work for legendary heavyweights such as the pet shop boys and sam taylor-wood, john foxx, anne clark, die toten hosen or former new order as bad lieutenant, vanessa daou or blank&jones, plus an exclusive remix he made for depeche mode, while reeder also puts his particular retro synth-pop spin on tracks from up-and-coming artists such as echoes, electrobelle, fidelity kastrow, may68 or noblesse oblige.

five point one is a deluxe collection of some of the best of reeder’s recent work, a deluxe DVD and 2CD package, gloriously remastered in dolby 5.1 surround sound, creating a listening experience which enhances the depth and radiance of reeder's original stereo mixes, all of which are also included on two CDs for a traditional 2.0 stereo sound system too."

About 'Calming Park' | The Essence of Beauty



Art, music, spirituality, relaxation and fire. All these combine in art and candle by designer/artist and music curator OLIVIER ROHRBACH, founder of the Swiss brand CALMING PARK, renowned for the high concentration of scented essences in its candles. 

Made in Grasse, France, the world capital of perfume, CALMING PARK scented candles are made of soot-free organic palm wax and paraffin with a 12% perfume concentration. Available online and in select shops and high-end hotel’s SPA in France, Switzerland, Italy, Russia, Korea and the US, the luxurious candles have recently found a second home in Paris, in addition to the Officina Slowear store at Village Royal, they are now available at exclusive Haute boutique COLETTE. The prestigious privately-owned shop has become the premier destination for many visiting Paris.

ROHRBACH has successfully nurtured a cult of relaxation with his inviting luxurious brand. He's collaborated with several gurus from the worlds of fashion, music and visual arts to design and customize limited edition candles including famed designer BRUNO PIETERS  (whose creations are worn by A-listers such as LADY GAGA, ROISIN MURPHY, SCISSOR SISTERS frontman JAKE SHEARS and DIANE KRUGER), SABINA SCIUBBA, MELODY GARDOT and French-American singer, actress and model ARIELLE DOMBASLE (whose gothic candle with tuberose and musk notes were inspired by her album GLAMOUR À MORT). 

He's also produced a series of essential, soothing and hedonistic CALMING PARK compilations featuring tracks from GOLDFRAPP, AMY WINEHOUSE, THE BIRD AND THE BEE, SIA, CIBELLE, FEIST, GOTAN PROJECT, JORI HULKKONEN, SUZANNE VEGA and many more.

Starting June 2011, ROHRBACH will create a two hour CALMING PARK music channel for SWISS Air Lines which will be available on every SWISS flight.

Invisibility cloak edges closer

"Scientists have rendered objects invisible under near-infrared light.
Unlike previous such "cloaks", the new work does not employ metals, which introduce losses of light and result in imperfect cloaking. Because the approach can be scaled down further in size, researchers say this is a major step towards a cloak that would work for visible light." BBC
