comment: |
Splendid collaborative work between Gustaf Hildebrand and Amanda Votta,
Lacus Somniorum emerged as a mutual desire to convey a suggestive concept
of what lies hidden and unseen by the eyes of modern civilization-
-beneath the waves in murky chasms, or perhaps in places not anchored
within our concept of reality. Airy flutes and choirs hover above
sometimes distant, rumbling sound textures, hinting of corroded machinery
and unseen presences but also emphasizing a sense of serenity and peace
of mind. The underlying concept is not fear of the unknown, but rather of
a hidden beauty within those places where none of us will ever venture.
Edition of 1000 copies In fold out gatefold cardboard sleeve.

Collaborative work between Gustaf Hildebrand and Amanda Votta
(The Floating World), Lacus Somniorum emerged as a mutual desire
to convey a suggestive concept of what lies hidden and unseen
by the eyes of modern civilization--beneath the waves in murky
chasms, or perhaps in places not anchored within our concept of
reality. Airy flutes and choirs hover above sometimes distant,
rumbling sound textures, hinting of corroded machinery and
unseen presences but also emphasizing a sense of serenity
and peace of mind. The underlying concept is not fear of the
unknown, but rather of a hidden beauty within those places
where none of us will ever venture. Their debut album, entitled
Tideshaper was released in October, 2008. Lacus Somniorum (Lake
of Dreams) is a plain located in the northeastern part of the
Moon's near side. It is located at selenographic coordinates
38.0° N, 29.2° E, and has a diameter of 384 kilometers.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
