I'd love to take a retreat and read these two books:

The Phenomenon of Life: The Nature of Order, Book 1

and

A New Kind of Science

Thanks to everyone who came out to the housewarming last night. It was a great time. Jalsaa!

Another review of Vibon 2:

In 2001, tbtmo released a compilation called Vibon, filled with electronic music from artists (mostly Philadelphia-based) are as in interested in beauty as groove, looking to create full, sensuous soundscapes that are danceable but also work on your brain and emotions. Vibon 2, released two years later, is more of the same but even better. Conceived as a showcase for groups that play or have played at a monthly music showcase in Philly called Hologram, Vibon 2 collects 11 tracks that are experimental and accessible at the same time. The liner notes describe tbtmo's music as "blip-pop, hip-pop, trip-pop, click-pop, experimental and bugout"…and those labels are sort of meaningless but also should give you an idea of where they're coming from. Melodic, atmospheric, instrumental music with sharp, fresh beats of all sorts. More suitable from dreaming or chilling out than any kind of frantic, aerobic-style dancing, Vibon 2 is nonetheless full of motion and action. Satellitle Grooves and Phasmid kick the CD off with songs that take you to lush locations while delivering melodies that will insidiously sink into your brain. The rest of the CD is just as stellar, featuring tracks by groups you might not know but will be happy to meet: Planet Nett, Cerebral, Pacifica, Spintronic, Nintari Man, Vostek, William Fields, Technicolor, and Transient.
