Various Artists – A Beginning of an End {CANDY035}

Artist: Various Artists
Title:
A Beginning of an End
Label:
Candy Mind Records
Catalog #:
CANDY035
Release Date:
2007/04/09


This is the last Candy Mind release.

Ever.

Candy Mind has been bought (for a half-decent amount of money) by swedish net-label Subnatura; who has decided to close down Candy Mind for good due to competitive issues.

However, since the Candy Mind crew is made of energy, and energy is subject to a strict global conservation law (that is, it can neither be created nor destroyed), the Candy Mind spirit will (in some way and form) live on. And blablabla.

Here are our last tracks. Enjoy!

Goodbye!

01. BEST FWENDS – SK8 OR LIVE (GOTO80 REMISS)
Best Fwends loves to skate…and when they are not skating, together with Goto80 (who is wearing his special skating hat, of course), they usually sing about the art of skating. This is an example of the skateor-sing phenomenon.

02. LIQUID STRANGER – I AND I
The letter I is the ninth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its English name is pronounced [a?]. Liquid strangers song is about this letter not only one, but 2 (two!) times! The dot over the lowercase ‘i’ is sometimes called a tittle. In the Turkish alphabet, dotted and dotless I are considered separate letters and both have uppercase (I, I) and lowercase (i, i) forms. This song does not, however, cover such (more advanced) topics.

03. DOROTHY`S MAGIC BAG – PICASSOS PENIS
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (October 25, 1881 – April 8, 1973) was a Spanish painter and sculptor. His full name is Pablo Diego José Santiago Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispín Crispiniano de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Blasco y Picasso. One of the most recognized figures in 20th century art, he is best known as the co-founder, along with Georges Braque, of cubism. This song is about picassos penis.

04. PSILODUMP – ROUTINE E OF THE NO-BOTS
Just because the Bot Exclusion Standard been overlooked doesn’t mean it’s insignificant. As its name suggests, the Bot Exclusion Standard was created to govern robots, and to feed their pets. Psilodump is one of the pets, and is giving us his own (unique) point of view on the subject.

05. PAZA RAHM – OCH HON SA (CYNKOT GRUPPA REMIX)
And she said… she said what?!?

06. LITHIS – THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A MEANINGFUL CONTEXT
Is creating a meaningful context for learning object reuse any different from creating a meaningful context for reusing other educational materials, like book chapters or research articles? Ask Lithis; he knows.

07. GOTO80 – JAHMAHA BUGGDUB
Robert Malone Bugg was an American politician and a member of the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee’s 7th congressional district. Goto80 is giving us his own, a bit controversial, version of what really happened to this man.

Various Artists – Burning Chocolate {CANDY014}

Artist: Various Artists
Title:
Burning Chocolate
Label:
Candy Mind Records
Catalog #:
CANDY014
Release Date:
2005/11/03


Sometimes things are burning. It’s very hard to avoid that fact. It can be a lot of things that goes on fire: houses, people, bushes… and of course also chocolate. First it’s melting, dripping down the chimneys faster than St. Claus, and when it’s even warmer it bursts into flames…

On this compilation we have a lot of different chocolate lovers (And non-lovers. Actually, it’s presumably more non-lovers on this release, bur it’s much more catchy to write about them as chocolate lovers). Liquid Stranger is taking us to the heart of Russia, Little Kid Human is opening his mysterious locker and Psilodump is giving us a glimpse of hell. We love it! Just as much as we love burning chocolate.

…and who doesn’t love the smell of burning chocolate!

1. LIQUID STRANGER – DEN INFEKTERADE TERMINALEN
Somewhere in Russia, the big computer system Rexkov (which’s controlling everything in Russia) is getting infected. Infected by a virus that is trying to steal all Russia’s secret plans on how to transform America into a portable icebox. Red alert!

2. GISELA – THIS IS HOW IT GOES (DOROTHY´S MAGIC BAG REMIX)
So, now it’s high time for a love song, don’t you think? Gisela is giving us her beautiful voice accompanied by Dorothy’s Magic Bug’s minimalistic yet powerful production.

3. LITTLE KID HUMAN – LOCKER
What’s hidden inside the mysterious locker? … ? Let’s find out!

4. SKRUVMEJSEL – STONKA RAMBOLA
Skruvmejsel takes us to the magical land of Stonka Rambola, a country where all things can (and will!) happen. It’s a fantastic trip, but be sure not to get your feet stuck in the enchanted lamp.

5. PSILODUMP – HOTLINE TO HELL
Everyone believes that Psilodumps home is nothing but an ordinary place. But they are all wrong! Deep inside his closet, which is full of old shoes and Arabic junk, there is a small passage: the infamous hotline to hell!

6. GOTO80 – KNARK
Hatman Goto80 is showing us what happens if you use too much knark in this shady business piece of music. An introvert adventure with a dirty, psychedelic twist.

7. LITHIS – LASERBOY MEETS ROBOTGIRL
When a laser boy meets a robot girl it’s all about passion. Eh, we really can’t tell you here what they’ll be doing…but if you close your eyes and listen very carefully you will get the message anyway.

V.A. – iHyper {BKTR001}

Artist: V.A.

Label:
 Backtrack
Catalog #:
BKTR001
Release Date:

Re-Release Date:
2005/11/08


we’re re-releasing the first backtrack release, a chipdisk, with mp3s so that anyone can hear it, even if they don’t have windows OS or know what a module is! we hope that you will, however, investigate module and chipmusic, once you have a taste of this charming bleepy music. oh, don’t forget: if a song ends abruptly, it is probably meant to loop continuously until you get tired of it, so set your mp3 player accordingly.

backtrack’s first release was a chipdisk for a few reasons. mostly, we thought a huge chipdisk would be a cool way to start with a bang (or at least a few blips.) now, we wonder if we will ever even do another chipdisk. it was great fun, and there was a lot of talent on it.

nineteen artists were involved in the making of this thing, not counting the poor souls whose not-quite-fitting tunes were rejected. all this work adds up to 29 tunes and approximately 70.5 minutes of music for us.

please realize, though, we are not a chipgroup. a few of us enjoy making chiptunes, but some do not even know how.

many thanks to our wonderful guest-releasers! beautiful music, i must say. really, most of you guys and even the actual members (!) totally amaze me. i would never have imagined, i would be working with such talent so soon. thanks for letting me.

-valzi

respect to our friends and many thanks to those who have helped us get off the ground! metapathy, zinger, and vizion have been essential in making this, our grand opening, possible.
