As every year, the new Machtdose compilation is out: Green Light Go (last.fm). It is always very simple to get it. The journey starts with a few steps forward: go to the online music store of your choice, order the following tracks, sort them properly in your player and listen to them by the end of this century. This year’s compilation is characterized by the high frequency of hits. Some of them have already arrived in the public’s awareness, some of them are far away from it. Go with the flow!

Film

Great cinema from a small source: »The Theory« presents the world’s smallest all action police chase. »Directing duo The Theory presents the tiniest police chase ever seen, made using the world’s smallest ‚pocket video projectors‘. Featuring an escaped convict, a determined cop and a fully armed police helicopter, Speed of Light takes ‚projection mapping‘ to a whole new (and low) level.«

Out of Place

In Robert Rickhoffs world cities are filled with confusion. The Hamburg-based artist invades public space with wit and a great sense of humour. There is also a certain kind of fatality about the way, Rickhoff translates urbanity. Urban exploration done on the computer. Very nice!

Manchmal muss man ein Album einfach nur oft genug hören, um es zu mögen. An manchen Stellen ist „Dispossession“ unglaublich eindringlich.
