It’s official - the first single by Logickal is hitting the streets on dPulse! It’s slowly creeping out to thee Internets by way of some of your favorite download services, with more to come in the next few days.
Big thanks go to the remixers - BlueDeceiver and Maurice Syntax provided their own personal interpretations of the title track, which is in some ways an homage to some of the sounds of my heroes - take 2 parts SP/Doubting Thomas/Download and mix with mid-period Coil and blend with some old-fashioned Logickal layering. Both remixes add take the formula and discard it completely, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Speaking of remixes, we decided to feature Randy Garcia’s Polar Attractor remix from Krushjob on this single, so big thanks to him for the stellar track as well.
I should also note here that Sugarknife features the sugary voice of Angelique Fisher, the knife-edged tones of John Sharp and the wonderful contact-mic’ed skulduggery of Mr. Natural on the sugar bowl and chef’s blade. Hints may also be heard of young Master Ryne lurking about in there somewhere as well. Thank you, my wonderful friends and collaborators.
Rounding out this single release are new improvisations called Students Fear The Three Cs (the stylistic partner to Krushjob’s Feels Atomic which is also included here) and the soothing Lullabye 43. I do hope you all enjoy - I have included a player from last.fm here for your listening pleasure, but please don’t forget about the download links below. If your favorite service isn’t yet listed (and I can think of a certain largeish service that is so far conspicuous by its absence), do not despair - I have been assured that they will be available shortly!

If you wind up having some sort of unknown bootleg that'd be sweet, let me know. This one is definitely on my top 5 list of Nirvana songs. I remember the first time I heard it was on 91.1 in the early 90's. The college DJ's got their mits on all the promo stuff early on so this fresh unknown Nirvana that was shrouded in mystery was all the buzz. I taped it and loaded it into this old DOS based WAV editor, made loops, learned how to play it on guitar, one of the first songs I taught myself. Now that I think back on all that OCD, I guess this is my favorite Nirvana song too.
In Utero stands as my favorite album. It had a couple of other notable outtakes that didn't make it including:
* I Hate Myself And Want to Die * Moist Vagina
So were you reflecting on yesterday being the 13th anniversary of Mr Kobain joining the 27 club?

The interior is spacious and clean, with the most unique window seat in the city. The variety of scents & textures stimulate the senses while you peruse the shelves.

Glow-in-the-dark materials that shine with the whole range of visible colours, and can even produce white light, have been developed by Japanese researchers.

"Conventional blue or green phosphors create an eerily uncomfortable illumination environment in which people feel anxiety," Saito explains. They also give poor contrast when used for signs which is a problem when people need to find exits through heavy smoke or dust, he says.
Warmer colours like orange and red will produce more legible signs. "Combining red, green, and blue colours even enables us to create white light, which may provide more natural illumination," Saito says.
