I'm really looking forward to the addition of the footage they shot of Steven Tyler and Aerosmith as the elf Gildor and his companions moving into the West....
I believe the scene was cut due to Tyler's complaining that in the end, it was "just too Zeppelin" for them.
Rumors also of a Gildor-singing-to-a-weeping-Arwen number ala the Armageddon music video... Wow, I mean I could barely control myself the first time, how am I supposed to even begin to do so now? Gonna make sure I've got plenty of tissues for that one...
As far as artists, top on the list is Aphex Twin aka Polygon Window aka Richard D James... His bulk work travels from ambient and soundscapes (Selected Ambient Works v2) to the hyper beats of the more recent WindowLicker and Come To Daddy. He is an excellent place to start...
Underworld is also one of my favs (up until recently w/ DJ Darren Emerson). The beats are heavy, full of groove and the lead singer is a human sampler - pretty amazing stuff.
Other artists to lend a listen too: 1)Saafi Brothers 2)Young American Primitive 3)The Orb 4)Brian Eno 5)Orbital 6)Felix da Housecat
These are things I like, old and new, a small sampling, and very narrow in the truly broad scope of electronica. They tend toward the the darker, deeper and slower side of ambient, trance and house...
A great site on the web for quite some time was Hyperreal.org. Haven't checked it in some time so it may be that it's drifted... I should look again now that I'm thinking about it.
I highly recommend this genre of music. there's plenty of bad in electronica but a lot of good, ingenuitive stuff... Definately an exciting area of music in my mind. Enjoy!
Peter Norton and The Boys, kickin' back and cookin' up new viri...
"We need one that's got that old school class... Little bit of trojan, utilizes end-user's resources to spread itself... yeah, yeah, good... It'll replace their exe's with itself... Fun little zombie refernce with that... And for the twister, you guys are gonna love this, it breaks their existing AV software and makes it impossible for them to uninstall it without tearing through the registry!"
{General applause and chuckling around a long smoke-wreathed table}
"It's gonna be a good quarter, guys... Now I'm off to do another one of my "stare into camera with inhuman eyes till I scare the hell out of 'em" photo shoot for the cover of Norton Antivirus 2003."
Why should I go watch this? Because you mussssst..

The trailers of the enemy are gifts! Why don't we use them against him!...precious... yes.. precious.... they are my birthday presents afterall, precious... aren't they? Thief Baggins! Wants me not to watch the trailers.... thinks it will ruin the surprise precious.... Even though precious has read the books a million times... perhaps precious needs peace of mind... perhaps the danger of blasphemy from these movies is greater than the hope of success, precious...
Well said... At least pot keeps the appetite up and allows one to sleep at night (2 things lacking all too often from many techies' daily regimen).
It's often hard to draw a line between the trends of the tech world and the those of the rest of society (particularly here in Silicon Alley). Drugs definately move in cycles but what exactly motivates those cycles is a bit uncertain much of the time.

Even with AOL's heroic efforts I was greatly concerned about the amount of coasters in the world... My friends, we may be safe after all.

I thought it was Battlestar Bakula! Damn it!
