Cluster Lizard ~ Edge of the Universe

The sun is twinkling across waves which seem to stretch on forever.  The Ukrainian duo of Dmytro Fedorenko & Kateryna Zavoloka take us into an altogether different forever – that of Sagan, Greene, Hawking, and deGrasse Tyson, a dark, cold,

Ikonika ~ Distractions

A lean, blue-hued futuristic city adorns the cover of Ikonika‘s Distractions, her first album in the last four years. It’s not clear whether the processor-like structures depict a city or the inside of a computer, which positively describes the old

The modern world is swamped by skittish, lazy, and infrequently well-meaning attempts to direct our fellow human beings towards ideas of living mindfully, compassionately and well. But where are those championing our final weak moments? Our enfeebled pulse? Our croaking

Badmixday ~ A Quiet Mind Awaits
