ANGER - DESTINATED [Sliptrick Records]
www.myspace.com/anger
www.sliptrickrecords.com

The first time I heard of Anger was last year when their drummer Senna filled in on drums for some shows with The Difference. He was playing in this melodic hardcore band from Vicenza and they had just started recording their new record, which had to be released on San Francisco, CA's Sliptrick Records. Last time I met Senna he was kind enough to give me a copy of "Destinated", their brand new record. I already knew he was an amazing drummer and a nerd about high quality music, but I honestly didn't expect this record to be so well played and produced. Why? Cause the band has been able to release such a great product by recording it all by themselves at the Anger Room, their own rehearsal place, mixing it later on at Hate Studios. Well, what you get on "Destinated" are 12 songs of pure melodic hardcore the way bands used to do in Cali back in the 90's. If you're into bands such as Satanic Surfers, Lagwagon et similia, you'll love Anger!

COLOSS - SONGS OF HATE AND EMOTION [MVHC/Hellnation]

www.hellnation.it

After being on hiatus for a couple of years, Rome's Coloss are back with a brand new record, proudly self-produced by the band and distributed by the almighty Hellnation Recordstore. This new effort pretty much picks up where the band left when they stopped in late 2005. Well, "Songs of Hate And Emotion" is an explosive work featuring 14 songs in less than 13 minutes of fast and powerful, thrashy and ironic punk hardcore reminiscent of Born Against and 80's hardcore in general. I must admit that although I've never been a huge fan of this kind of fast hardcore, Coloss is one of those bands that I make an exception for, and the more rockish influences on this new record make it even better! Stop sitting around at home and get this right now!

CURTAIN - ALBATROSS: DEMO MMVIII
www.myspace.com/curtainhardcore

It's been ages since there's been a good hardcore band coming out from Rome, so I can't explain how excited I am about these guys. I still hate myself for missing their first show! Featuring past and current members of To Kill, The Difference, Final Words and Drawing A Life, these guys bring a breath of fresh air in a stagnant and boring hardcore scene which is the one we have in Rome right now. When I heard that these guys were doing a band I just couldn't wait to hear some material recorded, for I knew exactly what to expect, and I obviously I wasn't let down when this Demo was made available. The four songs featured on "Albatross" show strong influences by bands such as Verse, American Nightmare, Unbroken and Go It Alone, but the guys still manage to add their own original touch, like they did with all their previous bands, managing to make it sound both hard and melodic, backed by some really good lyrics. The demo is available for download on their MySpace, so check it out and always keep an eye on them!

IRON AGE - THE WAY IS NARROW [Dead & Gone Records]
www.myspace.com/ironagetexas
www.deadandgonerecords.com

Iron Age. Where can I start with this band? Well, there's no doubt that if they formed in NY in the mid 80's these guys would have been on the Profile Records roster side by side with bands such as Leeway and the Cro-Mags, probably touring with Corrosion of Conformity or Obituary... things went differently, these guys formed in Texas and are undoubtly one of the heaviest bands around right now. Their first Demo displayed their potential, their "Constant Struggle" LP confirmed with. Now, after the "Burden of Empire" 7", the texan riff-machine is back with another 7" while they're working on their 2nd LP, "The Way Is Narrow". Two songs on this piece of wax: on the A Side we can find the new song which gives the title to this record, a mastodontic 5 minutes song of pure heaviness and metallic influences; B Side features the cover song "Satori Pt.1", originally by Japan's Flower Travellin' Band, a must hear. Can't wait for the new LP...

NO TURNING BACK - STRONGER [Reflections Records]
www.myspace.com/noturningbackhardcore

I think we all agree on the fact that, when it comes down to hardcore, if you combine passion, dedication and a lot of hard work, in the end you always get good results. Well, No Turning Back is the living proof for this statement. Going strong for the last 10 or more years, the kings of Brabant are back with a brand new full-length after two years spent around the globe to promote their "Holding On" record. Their new record "Stronger" is just another proof that these guys are here to stay, always going stronger and unwilling to give up. As strange as this may sound, with the 14 songs that make this record, also featuring guest vocals by Down To Nothing, Cold World and Enemy Ground, they managed to raise the level of brutality in their music making "Stronger" one of the hardest record released in Europe in a good time. The formula is still the same, harsh NYHC-influenced hardcore that won't make you stand still in a pit. Watch me rise as you fall!

PAYBACK - BRING IT BACK [Countdown Records]
www.myspace.com/paybackhc
www.countdownrecords.com

The kings of Roman hardcore are back! After releasing their third record "Kings of Nothing" last year, the guys got in touch with Countdown Records to release this new effort "Bring It Back". Well, this actually isn't a new record, as it only features 4 new songs, but along with these 4 tunes you'll get the re-mastered version of their two previous records, "Keep Your Friends Close" and "Don't Break The Bloodpact", which have been out of print for the last two years or more. Since day one, these guys have dedicated their heart and soul to bringing back old school hardcore in Rome the way bands like Warzone, Cro-Mags and early Agnostic Front did in New York back in the days. The whole thing is backed by a strong street-core attitude, which makes them really interesting, plus once you these guys rocking a stage believe me you'll be impressed! One of the new songs also features Mr. Roger Miret on vocals, so you know what to expect...

TRAPPED UNDER ICE - STAY COLD [Reaper Records]
www.myspace.com/underdaice
www.reaperhardcore.com

Nowadays it doesn't take too much for a band to be described as "hard": just throw a mosh part here and there, go to the gym, listen to Alpha Omega 24/7, wear an OG Cro-Mags shirt on stage and create your hype. Anyway, there's a huge difference between this and being really hard. Well, not a lot of bands around these days deserve this description, but Trapped Under Ice are undoubtly one of them! I must admit it did take me some time to get into this band, but once you realize what this band is all about you'll just love them. This Baltimore band gained a lot of popularity during the last months, and that's what they deserve, for the amazing blend of NYHC that falls somewhere between Breakdown and Crown of Thornz is just brutality at its best. The 6 songs featured on "Stay Cold", topped with one of the best artwork seen to date, will be the soundtrack to some pretty bad violnece at their live shows. Once again Kitzel's Reaper Records comes out with an amazing release!

VARIOUS ARTISTS - A CLAUDIO [Claudio Con Noi Records]
www.hellnation.it

All cops are bastards, no doubts about this... well, in this case we can shout it loud and clear! In November 2007, an SS Lazio supporter was shot dead by a cop on the highway while he was travelling to a football match: in this occasion there was no division between AS Roma and SS Lazio supporters, both ran into the streets fighting against police oppression and injustices. During the riots, Claudio was arrested and is now awaiting trial. To support Claudio through these hard times, four bands from Rome joined forces and released a benefit 7" with one song for each band. On Side A, Pinta Facile stands out for the Oi! side of this record while Payback keeps the standards high for roman hardcore; on Side B we find Grand Theft Age's harsh streetpunk and The Fourth Sin's abrasive and violent thrashing hardcore, something between the Cro-Mags and Slayer. Buy this release if you want to help out a guy just like you and me, who still believes that A.C.A.B. is an important statement!

• Think I Care - World Asylum
• Integrity - Humanity Is The Devil

Ночами Юки слушает сити соул. Теряется в многочасовых записях чужих вздохов, кашля, шагов. В шуме городов, о которых мечтает.
Он знает, что нигде ничего не меняется, но продолжает верить, что когда-нибудь сможет уехать достаточно далеко, и через всю Атлантику опустится плотный туман, укрывающий его от внимательных глаз.
Юки путешествует от одной веб-камеры к другой. От продвинутых клубов к крупным магазинам и домам тех, кто был недостаточно осмотрителен или исподволь хотел, чтобы за его жизнью наблюдали.
Юки убеждает себя, что был там: в конце концов, он видел это своими глазами.…
Когда боль, тихо пиликающая между переносицей и глазницей, оказывается сильнее его, он, не раздеваясь, падает на кровать.
Юки снится танцовщица в одном из Тайпейских клубов. У нее шоколадная кожа и ярко-красные дреды, толпа движется одном ритме с ней, а Юки не может оторвать взгляд от ее гладкого живота.

Master of dreamscience.

He has taught lessons on altered states and psychobiology in Stanford University, the same school were he previously got a Ph.D. in Psychophysiology.

In 1987, he founded The Lucidity Institute which promotes research on topics related to lucid dreaming.

“Lucid Dreaming: The Power of being aware and awake in your dreams ”

“Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming” with Howard Rheingold.

"Conscious Mind, Sleeping Brain"

LaBerge designed a device that facilitates the access to lucid dream states. It consists on a special kind of mask, that every time it detects that the user is entering into an REM cycle, sends flashlights directly to his eyes. The idea is that our brain, although asleep, receives a luminous signal that lets us know whenever we start a dream phase. This way you can consciously recognize your dreaming state and control your activities during it. The device is known as DreamLight.

Through the profound and rigorous study of oneirology, LaBerge has come to conclusions that go beyond the traditional perspective of science. He is recognized for being the first scientist to prove the phenomena of lucid dreaming, following an empirical method and being properly demonstrated.

“The basic idea of proving lucid dreaming was a simple one. It was based on earlier studies that showed that, if a person in their dream happened to be watching a ping-pong game and they’re looking from left to right, the eyes of their sleeping body would show a corresponding pattern of eye-movement activity. So I had thought that, since in a lucid dream I can volitionally do whatever I want, why not make a signal that we could agree upon in advance; a pattern of eye-movement signals that could then be used to prove that I had a lucid dream and that I knew I was dreaming while I was in the dream? We could also use that to establish what stage of sleep lucid dreaming occurred. I thought it would be REM sleep just because that was when most dreaming occurs.”

His work invites us to take a conscious responsibility for our dreams, transforming ourselves in a rational reflection of Chuang Tzu´s butterfly.

“The most important kind of sleep-learning that you can do is not having a tape-recording and trying to pipe more factual information into you. Sleep time is not a very good time for taking in information, but lucid dreams are an excellent opportunity for experiential learning, for finding out about the wisdom of life. Having an encounter with a dragon, for example, which you won’t ever have the opportunity for in the waking state. You have to have the courage to resist the fear that you’ll actually feel, to say this dragon is a mental image - a mental image can’t hurt me, and then to act on that. I would advise having a conversation, making friends with the dragon. The point is, is that what you can learn from your experiences in the lucid dream state are things that can apply to your waking state.”
