March Clouds March
What do clouds do in March? No. Of course they don’t march. They run time laps in time lapse. San Antonio director Hondo Aguilar directed this short for a recent video festival. It features music by Moonrox, who especially enjoy the video since it shows a side of Earth’s atmosphere they rarely get to see.

Tricks and Treats
Have Hyperbubble allowed their impossibly sweet songs to fall into evil hands? Yes, and it’s a spooky remixed delight! Candy Apple Nightmares is a twisted take on their Candy Apple Daydreams release from earlier this year. It’s the perfect companion piece, the yang to the yin, the black to the white, the Darth Va … you get the idea.

Island Delights
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the airwaves … a new single and a new album from Mission Giant! The Same Genre of Time Frame single and an outtakes collection called Zanzibar are sure to cause much consternation, fear, and excitement. Repeated listens may cause hallucinations of oases.

Goop Redux
Goop is back via Turntabling Records, but they never really went away, did they? Goop is and has always been the original new-wave-of-the-new-wave-of-the-new-wave band. Even the crustiest cave paintings depict early humans with funny haircuts and primitive synthesizers playing twitchy music in tar pits.

Max Planckroom
Fellowshipwreck was recently included in a 2009 netlabel research report conducted by Max Planck Institute Researcher Patryk Galuszka and featured at the Phlow Magazine website. Were he around today, Herr Planck himself would most likely dig the synthetic electronic sound particles Fellowshipwreck so freely distributes.

The Biggest Campfire
Mission Giant finally rubbed two synthesizers together long enough to start a raging, out-of-control fire of an album. Their latest, Golden Triangle, is sure to warm the rubber-insulated cockles of your artificial heart. It’s also the first mass-produced CD on Fellowshipwreck. We proudly present it here.

Secret Productivity
“It’s already fall and there is no new music in my life!”, you may shout. The problem isn’t with you, and it’s not even with us. Behind the clock face of nothingness are many gears clicking and ticking. For one, Mission Giant is putting the final touches on their upcoming CD. To stop fingers from nervously tapping on the desk, try your hand at the Mission Giant video game (Shockwave Player required) which contains sneak peek sound samples.

Holiday Gone Haywire
This is no April Fool’s Day joke. Mission Giant spent last Halloween scaring trick-or-treaters with an eerie brew of Samhain sounds and Allhallows Eve audio mixed with just a pinch of pulverized bat bones. In case you were afraid to come up and ask for candy, you can now listen to the proceedings from the safety of your own computer.

Dark Side of the Moonrox
Apparently, the sweetest band in the universe has a score to settle. They’ve donned their flight leathers and have entered super-spy-stealth mode. But who are the good guys and who are the bad? We’re not really sure what Moonrox is up to, but initial reports have confirmed it to be funky.

Gracie DuVin Is Your Man
Lover of many a fine AM radio song and of many a lady, Gracie DuVin has released a very special collection of songs now available at Fellowshipwreck Music. His new CD, Imposters, celebrates the good ol’ days of 1970′s lite rock, but it is nowhere near old-fashioned. Music by Hyperbubble gives your old favorites a synth-heavy spin, and Gracie’s varistyled vocals are sure to keep you guessing. Real or Imposters?

Worlds Music

Pez Facts
Mission Giant unveils its latest Fellowshipwreck release, Pez Fax. The EP consists of 6 new Mission Giant tracks, each one remixed by a currently active member. Although each member worked in isolation on his given track, the resulting whole is quite cohesive. Sort of like The Beatles’ White Album, except that it holds together. Oh yeah, and the cover is black. Available in its entirety for free download at the official Mission Giant Web site.
