A man realises that he's waking up to the same day everyday (a la Groundhog Day), finally works out how to escape from his situation, only to find he's been minaturised and the world is a creation of an alien race who have saved him. The specifics are not totally clear - either he's small, or...

When martin blackdown first mentioned funky house on dissensus a while back, people seemed to think it referred to bland, MOR house played in bars in the west end. The stuff that Geeneus etc are dropping now seems a long way from that - are they two separate genres, or have they met in the middle?

Flicking on the news yesterday, I saw the Queen at Remembrance Sunday wearing what looked like 5 poppies stuck together. What's that all about? Do any other public figures wear more than one? Or are they not allowed to upstage Her Majesty? And is it just me or do politicians, newsreaders etc...

Just reading children's author Philip Reeve's book "Mortal Engines", about giant moving cities which eat each other, which has a bit of a steampunk feel. And I realise that while I think I know what steampunk is, I can't ever recall reading a single book that I'd consider steampunk. What are...

Stephin Merritt Is I think my favourite songwriter... I only discovered The Magnetic Fields four or five years ago, and just got hold of the Future Bible Heroes record "Eternal Youth" today, which is absolutely blowing me away on first listen. I've no idea why it took me so long to get it...

Right, so your standard CDR is 700mb/80min capacity. How come then, I have a bunch of AIFF audio tracks, total size 784mb, total running time 77 mins 40 sec? I can burn a CD from itunes, but I can't fit the raw audio tracks on CD? :confused:

Some of you may remember this incredible bit of kwaito techno from the African youtube thread a while ago... finally seeing the light of day on 12", with a nice heavy cut from Transition, and digital. Here's the youtube clip that started it off (how do you embed youtube code here btw?)...

Some years ago, I came into possession of a CD of early BoC tracks titled "demo tape", which has some great stuff on it, the highlight being a track called "Trapped" which has a pitched down soul/pop acapella over an exemplary BoC pads and beats construction. Similar in style to their "Midas...

Not been on dissensus much for a while, not even lurking - partly cause of this little project. This Is Music is proud to present it's first release, Lord Skywave. This is the solo project of Simon Lord, vocalist with the now defunct Simian, and contains three generations of music making -...
