Burn After Reading.
Wonderful.
Great cast and memorable moments and just a fun ride. An absolute keeper imo.
Anyone have a moment in cinema from an actor that is so good it's shocking?
For me it's Tilda Swinton's character laughing at John Malkovich's character. Thats the coldest most chilling laugh I've ever heard.
I think another chilling moment is from Charlize Theron in Snow White & The Huntsmen "...if she'd had a sword...she'd have taken my kingdom".

Apparently Kiwi also helps in controlling blood sugar levels and actually helps control diabetes.

I'd really love to find this recording there and where it's from. The video description links to tons of dark ambient to sift through to but I'd like to try
Reminds me a bit of Dadub's - Beyond The Veil

I'm glad to hear this Mike because I've been procrastinating improving my gut biome, though knowing ill start eventually after it popping up on my youtube.
Would be interested in your progress.

Aha, thank you a few of those I've heard and they were too out there for me in that I couldn't find any rhythm or rhyme or reason to anything happening, though ill try each one again and see if anything has changed in me.
Though, the founder of Spastic Ink went on to create one of my favorite albums ever. Blotted Science's 'Machinations of Dementia'.

I've been a fixture on one message board or fb group of this band Meshuggah since 2005.
Today I found a bizarre video ran through something called a "dream filter" of one of their live performances of the track 'Demiurge'.
It's not even in my top 20 Meshuggah songs but the section at 2:35 is always quite satisfying. The vocals are an immediate turn off for most people but what the band does musically is studied around the world and even included in the curriculums at some schools.
Lovecraft/Giger filter here. I can't believe something like this is possible now.

About 2 years ago I started to see the physical side effects of bad diet.
My body took care of me and itself for 30 years while I treated it terribly, now it's my time to return the favor.
I dont eat what I like anymore, except on slip ups, I eat for survival.
Fish and chicken only for dinners. No more wheat. Cut down drastically on sugar. Fried foods at an absolute minimum.
Celery, lemon, carrots, matcha green tea. Each of these are miracle drugs for their individual properties.
Even if I don't like them or don't want them, just get them into the body, just get it over with and continue the meal.

I will say this about The Tomorrow War, I liked it, though that's coming from someone who compartmentalizes like no other when it comes to film genres.
In this genre I don't need anything to make sense as long as it looks good and has good pacing. This had those.
There are times where I need a real performance where the actor disappears and becomes his character interacting with another actor who has done the same and the results are electric.
In The Tomorrow War I just wanted good looks at the aliens and I got to tell you, these things are unbelievable. I liked how they held off in showing them and how you first encounter them...and they are awful to behold.
One other thing I liked that I didn't expect is a moment that I thought was well done in showing the trauma of war and what it does to someone.

Out of France. Dark metal band. May not sound like much at first but after 100 spins it's the most hypnotic creepiest thing I've heard and have been obsessed with this and what it turns into for a year.
It's part of a longer piece called 'Finsternis' none of which sounds anything like this one section.

Pretty cool, pretty interesting. I listened to the above for about an hour last night while driving through suburbs and into Boston.
At 01:25:00 there's something weird happening I think it sounds like very old age music you might hear at a fancy party at a hotel ballroom 100 years ago but it begins to sound warped as it continues like something is happening to it.
I think I'm nearly as fascinated by just sound on a recording as I am by music.
Sometimes the 2 mesh together a bit of noise that still has some sense of direction through a rhythm or melody somewhere in the mix.
On the right system, and in the car, I hear something quite ominous happening, more than just static noise on this track from BJ Nilsen - The Limits Of Function. On a resolving setup there seems to be a lot happening. It sounds like a wall of sound moreso than anything else I can think of.

Wow I've heard 3 completely different meanings for the word now, and thank you.

Unreal to even imagine where graphics will be in 10 years, 20 years, though I could probably look it up and read some decent predictions.
Couldn't fit this anywhere else, I've looked up the term 'marmite' and was wondering what exactly people mean when using it in discussion not related to popular(banned in some places?) sandwich spreads.
My first encounter with the term though was in WW1 books. One instance in particular is when the war first began French soldiers were still wearing huge red baggy pants and heavy dark blue jackets, making them highly visible, back when people were unaware of the devastating new weapons that had come into existence since their last major conflict. One shell landing in a group of 150 men in a tight formation would kill 70 outright and maim the rest. Some of the soldiers didn't even know what that was that hit them and had been told that "those are marmites, if you hear their whistle it may already be too late".

Excellent, Mike. Perfect for my car rides and visualization.
BTW you asked that I report back on the Jon Hopkins track you linked to. So, far what I'm looking for it's a bit too busy at times (even though the Dadub track I linked to has that incessant beat to deal with though on really quality gear it's all the other stuff that shines through)
But there are great moments in the Jon Hopkins track as well like around 3:33.
I find myself captivated when a piece of sound design/ song slows down for a moment to do something bizarre but that still holds its strange atmosphere. That's when it seems the recording is really calling for attention, like look at this weird thing we have here. Though when all of that is present while some music and rhythm is occuring simultaneously I find that great as well.
Maybe one example of what I'm flailing away at here is something like at 1:03 of this recording, though more macabre.
And 1:40 here of yet another Italian group.
Maybe there's a simpler more concise and direct way to describe this all.

Will do Mikey, thanks. I also use SoundCloud for stuff I just can't find anywhere else.

This one which I'd fallen in love with this past winter during long drives along the coast at night, eventually noticing that a voice begins to speak in Polish towards the middle of the track and that I could understand it and apparently is taken from the film Martyrs (2008) which I'd never choose to see as even the reviews of the film on Imdb are gut wrenching to read.

Hell I forgot to mention some of these other ones here. A person can really go down a rabbit hole, to find an occasional gem, with stuff that sounds like Cities Last Broadcast and Atrium Carceri, Bohren and Der Club of Gore, etc.

Thanks guys, wow Biome is right on target for what I'm looking for and currently jamming to John Hopkins.
Is something like this interesting to anyone? Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. I've never made through any of their albums straight through end to end but each album has had something that floors me.

Pretty cool. Love the drum sound and their direction reminds me of something right in-between the groups Tanake and Kneebody and The Thing.
Listening to Bap Bap Bap and Beartown on spotify. The track 'Be Free' is quite cool.
What interests me here is that they seem to take the endless noodling on the saxophone, which I can never seem to stick with in jazz classics that sound to me like they are going nowhere with no beginning, middle or end, and inserts it into a context that I can hang with and even adds some kind effects to that noodling.
Will explore.
