July 27th 2010 - BR inspired audio track
Marcel Gherman has been hard at work and kindly submitted this fine piece of audio mastery. It's been inspired by an original track by Black Lotus. Check it out HERE. More info on his work is avail at http://www.myspace.com/httpwwwmegatonecom and http://marcelgherman.blogspot.com
July 19th 2010 - Bladerunner Tribute Song/Video
Matthew Allen had kindly submitted this digital synth masterpiece he created himself. A great and fitting picture montage accompanies the audio track to complete the experience. BZ asked Matthew what technology he used - "My synth collection includes a Waldorf Blofeld, an Access Virus TI Snow, Spectrasonics Trillian and Omnisphere, Sylenth1, Zebra2, and Camel Audio's Alchemy. All of that is plugged into a Macbook Pro 15" running Apple Logic as a sequencer and mixing console. When creating the track Electric Sheep, I started by building a sound that was reminiscent of the horn sound that Vangelis used on the Bladerunner opening credits. Once I had that, which is effectively the crux of the song, I laid down percussion and bass to get an idea of what the groove of the song would be, added some ambience to get the right feel, and then started layering in melody. Once I get a track to a point where I think its "done", I walk away from it for a few days and revisit it fresh. Invariably, there is always something that I missed or some change that I make to it to add a bit more polish. After that, I mix it and publish online. " check out his work HERE

June 19th 2010 - Gongo cover remade perfectly!‏
the_traveler has remade the Gongo soundtrack cover perfectly! Same images, same position, but without the large half-tone patterns and other flaws that were inherent to the original. Two covers are there -- the remade one, and then 3 scans of the original. Unbelievably accurate remake! (This art is used for importing into iTunes). HERE
