London, the year is 2061. War is raging across Europe. Ultra-nationalist powers are fighting against each other, trying to conquer more territory and assert their supremacy. In London, enemy armies of cyborg soldiers and drones are taking over the city. The capital is quickly falling into ruins, the dust from the rubble is still suspended in the air. Survivors gather in damp cellars, crouching in fear, swapping stories about how life used to be before authoritarian governments started playing their evil power games. Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Alliance, brainwashed and merciless, wreak havoc in the streets of London, a city now void of life and light. Retaliation is long overdue, but for now all hope has been annihilated and the fear has taken over. Europe has become a vestige of the past, torn to pieces and trampled upon. This is the Desolation Age. bio : | Beyond The Ghost is the dark ambient project of French musician Pierre Laplace. Laplace was the leader of experimental rock band Vera Clouzot for 10 years, he then self-released 2 acoustic solo albums as Kenyon, and he is currently half of atmospheric folk duo The Sandman’s Orchestra, for whom he has written and produced 3 albums of original songs, as well as a reinterpretation of Kate Bush’s conceptual B-side, The Ninth Wave. In all 3 musical projects, although they were song-oriented, Laplace experimented a lot with textures and atmospheres, so that the transition to dark ambient music was natural. With Beyond The Ghost, Laplace has honed a sound that’s dreamy and atmospheric, but with some sense of tension and drama too. Beyond The Ghost uses a mix of soft and hardware synths, live instruments (guitar, piano, percussion …) and field recordings. # | | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< tracklist: - [ 1 , "The Desolation Age" , 00:08:20.688 ] - [ 2 , "Exodus" , 00:06:15.431 ] - [ 3 , "Pale Conquerors" , 00:05:23.918 ] - [ 4 , "Tainted City" , 00:05:09.707 ] - [ 5 , "Passage into Oblivion" , 00:05:42.883 ] - [ 6 , "Slow Motion Downfall" , 00:06:05.583 ] - [ 7 , "Spectral Parade" , 00:06:43.905 ] - [ 8 , "Quietus" , 00:09:24.297 ] - [ 9 , "Lights Out" , 00:07:04.489 ] # \____________________________________________________________________/ # #/---------------------------------------------------------------------\ news: | Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future" obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML. As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo that is designed to be both human and machine readable. It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives curators. Why this? Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8. As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata. With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem, we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks, filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house, djent... With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source codec, purchase url) nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension .yml.nfo e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay compatible. The current schema will be published in the near future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same structure and set of keys. schema_version: 0.0.5 #| | #| | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| Sites: D... ..... ...... - T3 - 16GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx | # >~~~~~~ M........ - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx +> #| R..... ...... ...... - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xx.xxx | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| | greetings: all #| | #\--------- --=[ Thinking AMOK - The Superior Lifestyle ]=-- ----------/ # \___________________________________________________________________/
