Bye bye iPod Shuffle

Accidentally put my iPod Shuffle through the washing machine. It's dead.  "Bereft of life it rests in peace..."

Kids: Don't try this at home.

On the up-side, I get to delete iTunes from my PC!

Alistair Griffin - Albion Sky

This album is also on high rotation through my MP3 player.

Alistair has a brilliant voice and a clean fresh sound.  The entire Albion Sky album is worth listening to.

Favorite tracks are this one (Always No. 1) and the title track.

If you like music where the vocals are more important than the gyrations then you might like this.

Mysteria - Chasing the Divine

I've become hooked on the album Chasing the Divine by Mysteria.

The music is emotive, a bit New Age and possible even able to be described as esoteric.  It's reflective stuff with a heavy symbolism in the lyrics and quite beautiful accompanying music.

If you're a fan on Enigma you'll likely enjoy this.

Bought the CD from Wow HD - because foolishly Amazon refuse to send music to New Zealand.  How strange.

Halo 4 Original Soundtrack Volume 2

I'm sold on the Original Soundtrack of Halo 4 by award-winning producer and composer Neil Davidge.  It's on constant rotation on my MP3 player and I consider it essential when I run long distances.

After I bought the CD I logged on to a website that was given with the CD and downloaded a further six bonus tracks.  Awesome!

The even-better news is that Volume 2 has been released today with a further 20 tracks!  Hurrah!

The good people at Topspin Media even sent me a nice email to let me know a few days in advance of the release.  That's a great marketing ploy!
