Kate Chopin: The Awakening

Considered a landmark work of early feminism, The Awakening by Kate Chopin is definitely a must-read. Catherine O’Flaherty or as many know her, Kate Chopin, was born on February 8, 1850. Even at school or at home, Kate grew up being surrounded with intelligent women that had a great effect on her writing.

The story revolves around the character of Edna Pontellier and her struggle to reconcile her liberated beliefs with oppressive social structures of her time.

Derek Clegg – It Seems As Though

Derek Clegg is no stranger here in Frostclick. Three of his previous releases, namely the cathartic, KJC; the mesmerizing Here Comes Your Fate, Quick Duck and the enthralling, Beautiful World; have been featured here in our blog. This time, Clegg is back and he's got another album in tow. Similar to his previous releases, It Seems As Though, flutters between indie folk, pop, acoustic country and even a hint of electronica. It's a beautiful mix of songs that reflect the artists' signature style and taste. It's hard to pigeonhole Clegg as an artist that's strictly limited to creating indie folk because he manages to add enough little touches to create a unique sound. Each song from the album resonate with a beautiful, heartfelt emotion that listeners will certainly enjoy.

The Arbiters: Wake Up Dragons

The Arbiters create cool indie alternative rock music with a touch of electronica. The recording is slightly raw but filled very intense energy that you could almost feel as if it's bouncing around the walls. The group sings songs in both English and Russian and they borrow elements from other genres other than indie rock. Wake Up Dragons is the first full length debut for the group. They did release a single titled 'Solo" and made it available for sale on both iTunes and Amazon. For this complete compilation, listeners have the option to buy it from the same iTunes, Amazon or simply download it for free right here or on Jamendo. Give this group a listen.

Manic Marble Free

If you adore the many marble rolling games and apps available, you'll certainly enjoy Manic Marble. A freeware game, this one is done completely in 3D so it's definitely something new compared to the old school 2D marble rolling games or applications. The game was created by Richard Olson and thanks to the rendering it's become quite realistic and interactive. Some people have even reported experiencing motion sickness while playing the game. If in case you do, you might want to stop playing the game altogether. Meanwhile, for those who do have a stronger stomach, the game is available for free download under iTunes.

Air Hockey Gold

Although it's been around for some time in the iPhone, Air Hockey Gold has just finally made it's way down to the iPad.

Air hockey has always been an age old favorite, whether it's played in some college game room or played using the latest gadgets. Air Hockey Gold for the iPad is nothing different. It features the same basic gameplay with some additional options to help make the game more interesting. Go ahead and give it a quick download. It's available for free download on the iTunes store.
