Flesh Forest and The Elephant Only Zoo is a hodegepodge of sounds and genres. On the one hand, you get songs emanating with an indie electronic folk rock vibe, but as you progress through the album you encounter a darker, noise rock, experimental sound that leaves you wondering what happened.
Well, for one, Flesh Forest and The Elephant Only Zoo are two different bands. Although both hail from Massachusetts, sound wise, that's about as far as similarities go. The former describe themselves as mainly into gothic/psychedelic electronica while the latter dubs themselves as belonging to the acousmatic/ tape music/ visual genre.

Dizzypad is a pretty cool free iPad/iPhone game that you'll surely get addicted to. The game was created by Nimblebit, the same company that developed the wildly popular Pocket Frogs.
If you're familiar with Koi Pond and Doodle Jump, Dizzypad is touted as a hybrid of both. It combines the beautiful and serene atmosphere of the former with the insane, precision gameplay of the latter; giving birth to an exciting game that's plenty of fun to play.

The album Rspct opens up with a track that's proper for its role: Rspct Intro features a thin but layered drone shifting from this direction to that until it renders itself redolent of aircraft sounds, or of spacecraft ones (it depends on your imagination, really) and, consequently, creates the illusion of one taking flight, perhaps toward Pollux – not the artist behind the album, but the brightest star in the constellation of Gemini, from which the musician presumably took his moniker.

Originating from 1230 AD, the Carmina Burana is a set of medieval manuscripts consisting of 254 poems and dramatic text. It was an epic piece of text that was created by theological students mainly to satirize the church. Most of the works centered on subjects such as wealth, the nature of life, financial abuses, joy of Springtime and even the pleasure and perils of drinking.
The Carmina Burana was translated into a beautiful cantata by German composer, Carl Orff in 1937. The composer's version of the Carmina is now available as a free download right on FMA. Performed by none other than the MIT Choir under the direction of Dr. William Cutter (2006).
This is a great piece of classical/medieval music brought to life in these modern times.

Most of you might be familiar of the retro game, Arkanoid. The main point of the game was to bounce a ball off a moving platform in order to break down various colored bricks. This was a very popular game during the time and quite a lot of remakes were done along with a similar gameplay.
Break is another one of these remakes but this time, it's set and made perfect for the iPad platform. The game was developed by Jirbo Inc. and made available as a free download on iTunes. It works on the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
