Lost in You: Petal, Georgia Series # 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 319min
It hasn't been easy for Joe Harris to live down his not-so-honorable past, but the military made him a better man. He's determined to make up for past mistakes, starting with coming home to care for his ailing father. Things are going as planned until his best friend's little sister comes barreling into his life. Funny, quick talking, smart, beautiful, she's a temptation he tries - and fails - to resist. When Beth Murphy hears Joe is back in town, she makes sure she's the first on his welcoming committee. Though he tries to pretend he's gruff and unworthy of her, she sees the man who spoils his dog, who touches her like she's precious. Cherished. But there's one wall she can't break down - the truth about what's happening at home. On the night the nature of his father's illness becomes painfully, publicly apparent, Joe does the right thing - push Beth as far away as possible. But if he thought she'd go away quietly, he's about to learn she's made of sterner stuff. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aletha George.

The Meditations , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
The Meditations, by Marcus Aurelius Antoninus. Translated by Jeremy Collier. Translation edited by Alice Zimmern. Narrated by Denis Daly.Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the adopted son of the Emperor Antoninus Pius and ruled from 161 to 180. His Meditations or "discourses with himself" were written in Greek between 170 CE and 180 CE, mostly while he was on military campaigns.Jeremy Collier's translation, while lacking the accuracy of the more famous translation by George Long, has a particular verve and color, imparting a vigor that is often lacking in the original text. The translation was later revised and corrected by Alice Zimmern, who makes the following comment in the introduction:"The Stoic Emperor draws a noble moral from the transistoriness of our being. Not 'Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die,' is the teachings of the Meditations but rather, 'Let us use this life well, since we have no other.' The consolation for death must be sought in the consciousness of duty done. If we have lived well we should be content to die, no matter whether our years be many or few. Epicurus bade his followers depart from life as a guest from a banquet satisfied with his entertainment; the Stoics, in sterner language, bid us leave the stage as an actor who has performed his part." ungekürzt.

Expropriation: The Revelation , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
Everything is not as it seems. The universe, in its farthest recesses, unbeknownst to humankind, has abetted the creation of a sinister entity, a malign force capable of rearing bedlam and instilling fear to all that has life. With the world’s impending destruction carefully insured by the extraterrestrial body that lurks in the glitches of nature, life as we know it hangs by a precariously thin thread. Meanwhile, around the globe, uneasiness continues to foster - world leaders have finally taken notice of the invisible enemy. A telltale of a different kind. Things have never been the same for the people involved on that fateful day in the forest. As they continue to grapple with the startling reality that the world is hiding a secret that could unleash anarchy of the highest order, more individuals are finding themselves involved in what could be the dawn of the Earth’s spiraling toward the bitter end. Retaliation. There is one thing the Earth’s adversaries have miscalculated, however. Humankind, feeble they might seem in all their fragile limbs and faulty ways, are made of much sterner stuff - exponentially much more than what they have made their enemies believe. As fates collide and alliances forged, humanity is challenged yet again. Will they be able to defend what is rightfully theirs? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Layfield.

The Practicing Mind: Bringing Discipline and Focus into Your Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 231min
Present moment awareness is an essential ingredient in life if one expects to experience any degree of authentic peace and contentment. It has been acknowledged for centuries as the cornerstone of spiritual awakening in all traditions of Eastern thought. In the West, however, it is still a relatively unrecognized concept for living. The Western mind is always restless, never content with the moment. Its internal dialogue is always firing off thoughts filled with emotional content and pulling the individual out of the present and into the past or future. But individuals raised in Western culture are becoming increasingly aware of their overall sense of mental exhaustion, their lack of discipline and their inability to focus on demand. They are willing to expend the energy necessary to experience inner peace and a quiet mind that is waiting to follow the direction of their will. They are realizing that the endless struggle to fulfill the insatiable appetite of instant gratification is fruitless and tiresome at best. They are ripe for a new path in life and eager for a new set of instructions. This is the purpose of The Practicing Mind. It comprehensively deals with helping the individual understand exactly what present-moment awareness is, how we are raised in a manner contradictory to this, and how we change our mindset to make this a part of our daily living. This book is accessible to listeners of all philosophical backgrounds. Regardless of your perspective, you will find the book's insights most compelling. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bong 93 E.P
Recent press and radio The E.P has recieved airplay from radio stations across the world incuding Radio one - Huw Stephens Radio one - Rob Da Bank Josef Sedlon, Radio 1 (Prague) Tilos FM Radio, Bucharest (Hungary) Alooga Radio (Germany) Fuel, Xm Radio (Chicago, USA) DI FM, Duy do (USA) 209 radio (UK) the Alien air show on KXLU FM Radio (Cal, US) Fm cocolo (Japan) Angus Robinson, Money shot radio, Proton (US) Spacelab (US) Ibreaks - Lifecycle show (UK) FREAKIN RADIO - UNDERGROUND WEB BEATS It has also recieved some Good reviews Magazine Reviews Textura mag Bong 93 presents four aggressive samplings of dance-oriented futurama from Dogmixer (London, UK-based electronica producer/musician Matt Watts). The title cut's all acidy mayhem and grinding breaks while Watts' dystopic blend of chugging electro-techno gets a panoramic workout on 'Who Are You?' In a funky, breaks-centered remix, Lifecycle (Geoff Dent) turns 'Bong 93' into a tripped-out blaze of drums and percussion. The EP's best cut might be 'Mind in Motion (666 remix)' where Watts pairs a cryptic voiceover with an elastically tight locomotive steam that verges on trance it's so insistent. The Dogmixer style is purposefully punk-flavoured but isn't so tough that emotive melodies don't find their way into the mix now and then. Bong 93 is both Dogmixer's second EP and Replicant Society's second release and bodes well for both (future releases include a label comp and Dogmixer's Telecommunications full-length). January 2007 Barcode magazine New release from London-based producer/musician Matt Watts on his own record label, Replicant Society. Bong 93 is Dogmixer's third EP release, and having heard this I wouldn't mind investigating those either. Four tracks are on show - the title track opening with gusto, a sharply produced instrumental with edgy guitar sounds buried amongst lashings of warbling keys and film samples - it's thick on atmosphere. Virtually all the tracks follow this path, and whilst there's nothing particularly original going on, the mood, melodies and production ensure captivating results. Who Are You? is a marvellous track, bustling along like a steam train with seething synths winding around a cacophony of speech samples and chugging rhythms - the speeded beats are repetitive but appropriate. This track in particular reminded me of a band called Noise Unit - a side-project by Bill Leeb & Rhys Fulber. All in all, a very solid release of fast-paced atmospheric dance/soundtrack music with some choice melodies - well worth investigating 7.5/10 365 mag Dogmixer is the moniker of British producer Matt Watts, a versatile producer in the field of electronic music since 2002 who refuses to be categorized as a ´one-style only artist´. Eclectisism is his middle name, as he has been exploring the realsm of electronica, techno, IDM and, using the Dogmixer alias, breaks. Bong 93 is the 2nd EP released under the Dogmixer alias that already saw the support of Rob Da Bank, Huw Stevens and leftfield club DJ's. The release starts off with the original version of Bong 93, which immediately kicks in with a supersonic sequence of breaks ans warm synthesizers. Unlike other breakbeat-esque tracks, this one comes with a rather futuristic vibe. The choice of trancey synths, warm sound effects and intense drum sounds result in a unique atmosphere that made me think of a high-speed video racing game. Nice one! Who Are You? introduces a series of soft synths and reverb sounds, after which the rhythm kicks. The beats and percussion are in a less complex structure as in Bong 93, yet the dark synths and effects give this one a similar sonic vibe in full overdrive. The break features a trancending and dreamy blend of various synths and bleeps, after which the track rock on with more ferocious beats and cool effetcs. Track number three, entitled Mind In Motion (666 Remix) reduces the tempo to a more housey groove, with a cool vocal sample introducing the actual rhythm. The cool thing about this one is that it features that warm atmosphere as heard in the uptempo breaks tracks, but that the frenzy beats have been replaced with easy-going beats and claps. Progressive meets house, resulting in a fine piece of electronic music. Closing the disc is Bong 93 (Lifecycle Remix), which builds up to a solid rhythm with an uptempo sequence full of bongo's, drums and a sliced-up vocal sample. The rhythm sounds more mechanic on this one, like a factory machine on acid, but it will certainly be of big effect on dancefloors and festivals. The synths on this one are great, adding real value and melody to the track, without scaring the ladies off the dancefloor. Bong 93 is a remarkable release in the breaks genre, as it features a supersonic vibe that is unique in it's kind. For some reason, the sound of it made me feel like tuning my car, building in a 100.000 watt subwoofer, and race towards the horizon while breaking the sound barrier. Well, something like that anyway. I can recommned this release to any break DJ who is into prolific sounds and intelligent strutures, as it is more than able to raise the level of adrenaline of people regardless of their location. Youri Jozee (NL) 7.5/10 One week to live Magazine Starting with a sample of Patrick McGoohan's proclamation about not being a number, this one fights it's way out of the 'phones with a jumbled beat and some killer synths. At times, it seems the drumming is random, missing beats here and there and adding too many at one time, but it's clearly intentional and it works. Over the top of this is an exhilarating electro treble synth that zigzags over the breakdown, underpinned by a foundation of wah wah sounding bass synth and machine gun drum fills. Flip side 'Who are you?' is a bass laden breakbeat number, with shards of techno bristling out of it like a sonic hedgehog. 'Mind in Motion' throws down a swerving piano bassline, and is quite the deep house number. A nice contrast. 5/7 Tasty fanzine Bong 93 is a dance-friendly intelligent techno type affair which joins the likes of Glasgow's Satellite Dub and Paul Hartnoll's solo stuff in forging a way for new, more organic sounding electro. Reverbing keyboard melodies are the mainstay of the sound over the top of the break beats which underpin a driving rhythm, especially in 'Who Are You?'. Spartan use of some film track sci-fi samples and a an off kilter breakdown after about 4 minutes make for exciting listening. The housier 'Mind in Motion' deals in more lightly off-kilter key changes, unpredictable stop starts and more clever use of samples to animate the pauses and string the whole thing together. Accomplished work. Butterfly crush mag Dogmixer, Bong 93 EP On Bong 93, a Christmas release-date collection of markedly un-festive electronic wizardry, dystopia-fascinated Londoner Matt Watts presents - as promised - a sterner, more breakbeat-familiar proceeding than that offered by his Coasting EP of 2005. Happily, it transpires, the potency of the seductive, oneiric mystique that is Matt Dogmixer's calling-card is none the worse for it. On this EP's title track, the insect-like penetration of acid bass and a scuzzy grime-scene hook press darkly, like sentient forest-shadows, inwards and downwards on the listener's space. Otherworldly melody and dialogue sampled from The Prisoner, a show with scripts famously rich in metaphysical suggestion and psychotropic experimentation, complete one's impression of an electronic soundscape symbolising the unconscious mind - music for the world dreaming badly. The track's reworking by Lifecycle, more linear in form and less attritional in tone, is shrewd and efficient in drawing out and heightening both the hypnotic rhythmic impetus and the melancholic unease of the original mix. 'Who Are You?' constructs a more rapid and assassin-stealthy vehicle for the transmission of the Dogmixer's compelling spectral atmospheres and melodies, but reproduces to a tee the air of psychological intrigue and a- Shop: odax
