Strange Attractors

Valerie
Strange Attractors is a fun and imaginative puzzle game that lets you control the force of gravity using a single button. Yes, you heard that right. All you need to do is press one little button to play the game. Don't think that it's going to be simple or utterly boring though. The game incorporates unique graphics and creative gameplay that will certainly give you enough of a challenge. It was released a couple of years back to great praises. It has become quite popular and already has a successor, Strange Attractors 2.

LexJongg

Valerie
Fancy a game of solitaire and mahjong rolled into one? LexJongg combines the gameplay of solitaire with that of classic mahjong pieces. The game is pretty simple and just the perfect diversion from a hectic work pace. LexJongg, according to its creator, was created in about 9 hours or so. Pretty impressive feat if you ask me. It's a decent game with simple and basic graphics. Nothing too fancy, and just right for a quick play.

Rushus: Stories

Valerie
Dreamy instrumental and experimental jazz from a Russian trio. Stories is a reflective compilation that is filled with whimsical melodies that makes you wish all instrumental music was created this way. Aptly described by one reviewer as "a fine collection of intelligent jazz tracks;" the compilation features experimental, progressive music with touches of blues and jazz. Rushus is primarily made up of Ilya Lipkin, guitar player extraordinaire. He's accompanied by two equally talented individuals, Evgeniy Tkachev on percussion and Vladimir Nikulin playing bass. Together, they create this sonic fusion of instrumental jazz that is filled with melodic rhythms and unconventional beats. Stories isn't just perfect for a Saturday night, it serves as great background music for almost any relaxing, quiet afternoon.

Deied: Formation of chaos

Valerie
Deied is a German electronic duo composed of n1n0 and din-tah aeon. (Don't ask me how to pronounce those.) The duo is set on creating some of the darkest and coolest industrial, electronic sound there is. According to their website, this is the duo's 11th collaboration, although there are only 7 albums available in Jamendo as well as their official website that's up for free download. Formation of Chaos is filled with 10 dark electronic tracks that are often infused with melodic vocal work and layers of instruments. Basically, it's an album that combines a whole lot of synth, dark, symphonic musical elements that makes you feel as if you're moving through the deep dark woods under a full moon sky.
