I don’t write romance/adventure novels. But if I did, the dramatic conclusion would find the heroine racing to the rescue of her chiseled-in-all-the-right-places paramour.

The road to redemption, an endless forest on either side, disappears into blackness as twilight descends. Somewhere in this wilderness her lover is a knife’s edge away from death. It goes without saying that only her fierce passion and her desperately galloping steed stand between him and permanent night.

When this bestseller inevitably leads to the academy-award winning film, Mystic System’s remix of “Almost Dark” (John Fitzpatrick) will be the soundtrack. Imagine a collaboration between Evanescence and Enigma, and you have an idea of the score. Better yet, close your eyes and listen:

This dangerously moody soundscape is lovely to hear, richly produced, decadent and elegant at the same time. The original mix is good … Mystic System’s version adds another dramatic dimension and a satin finish.

You can buy John Fitzpatrick’s original CD here.
The Mystic System remix is available for your listening pleasure and is a FREE download for the rest of August only at GirlSonic.com. If you like it, send MikeLD (Mystic System) a paltry sum of gold (.99 cents) and he’ll send you the supercharged version.
Better yet, just visit this direct link to QuantumDisc Radio and purchase the mix!
Credit card, Debit card and Paypal payments accepted.

Sirisat Julia Claire has been one of my new finds and I just thought I'd give you guys the heads up too. Judging by her interview page, she has been active in the real world for some time, even having a couple of albums released a while ago and she's working with a whole raft of other musicians and producers (Carles Reig, Pep Rius, Ernesto Briceño and Dj MikelD) - all connected in some way to Ohm Records (or is that Ohmm.com) Yep, Julia is a yoga teacher/singer/dancer from the beautiful city of Barcelona in Spain, and her musical work is informed by her philosophy so expect some extremely chilled-out music for body and soul.Ahhh now your looking a lot more interested...As you should be because, no matter what your preference, a track where everything happens just so is a prime candidate for attracting attention. Despite its obviously spiritual overtones and approach, "Searching (Ong Namo) Beyond Infinity mix" is a instantly likeable track any level you care to name. Welcoming and warm in the way Enya often is, although I have to say having evoked that image, Sirisat (and musical mainstay/producers Carles Reig and Dj MikelD) operate on an entirely different level. For sure there is a massive European influence stylistically and lyrically - and another reference my brain made was to Ilona, who operates in much the same musical field. However, as is usual, time and repeated plays really cracked this gem of a track open and although I don't normally go for this kind of thing, the musical muscle on display in this track is absolutely terrific, and worth the listen alone. The breakdown just after 3:00 in particular being a joy in and of itself.However good (nay stunning) the music and production are, they are still topped by Sirisat Julia's incredibly professional singing (and a very nice video she makes too). Let me put it like this, if you can't get past the first minute of this track, then the whole five minutes it runs for will be of no use to you. You will not have recognised the skill, patience and dedication it took to bring this to your ears and I would guess your life would be poorer for it. In this world of home/garage recording it's a pleasure to hear 'the real thing' and done so well, the only thing you need to worry about is whether you will like the style. There again, it covers so much musical ground in it's length, that I'm sure almost anybody could find a bit they liked. Personally, I think there is a huge market for such material, and it's nice to know that at least I've heard one of the very best - in every way. If it sounds like I love this track, I do but I am professional enough to look REAL hard at anything I could pick apart and there isn't anything. At all. Seamless, that's the word.
