I used to have a double CD that had a purple cover and a picture of aliens on the front (the usual alien pictures, green with black eyes etc. . .). The music was incredible, alien soundscapes and weird noises. This was a west coast group, I think but I'm not sure. I don't know of any other way to describe this, but it started very faintly with whooshing wind sounds and bleeps and blips. It then built up into beats and alien drums and what not. I lost the CD and have never been able to recover it, can't even remember the name or anything. Anyone have any clues to help me uncover this.

In addition to having become addicted to a R/C car racing game called Re-Volt (which requires booting into Windows 98 to play), I am in the process of setting up a Linux box to be a firewall/proxy for my home network. So, until I get that system fully configured and working, there will be some extended periods of time when the server will be unavailable. I would suggest to anyone with the desire to look into using software such as Go!zilla or Get Right to automate and schedule the downloading of files from my server. That way, when it's up, your files will continue downloading without your intervention..... muchas gracias BTW: while I have your attention...here's my list. Kyuss Iron Maiden/Bruce Dickenson Queensryche Tool Orbital The Cure Dream Theater Underworld Ozzy/Sabbath Art of Noise Metallica ....and many that seem to be popular among members of this list, but that I haven't been listening to long enough, or know enough about to really consider them my favorite, including Aphex, FSOL, Chemical Bros, Boards of Canada, Jean Micheal Jarre, Autechre, System 7 and more. I unfortunately do not have any friends who share my musical taste, and so this list has been a major source of exposure/recommendations to artists I would otherwise never know.
