    Beyond the Laughing Sky , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 130min
    In the tradition of E. B. White and Kate DiCamillo comes the magical and moving story of a birdlike boy who longs to fly. Ten-year-old Nashville doesn't feel like he belongs with his family, in his town, or even in this world. He was hatched from an egg his father found on the sidewalk and has grown into something not quite boy and not quite bird. Despite the support of his loving parents and his adoring sister, Junebug, Nashville wishes more than anything that he could join his fellow birds up in the sky. After all, what's the point of being part bird if you can't even touch the clouds? With an ear for language and a gift for storytelling, Michelle Cuevas will remind fans of Stuart Little and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon that anything is possible. Even flying. ungekürzt.

    The Hermit , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 406min
    Inside the cave, the young monk bowed respectfully. "I have come to you for instruction, Venerable One," he said to the old hermit in a low voice. In response, the hermit instructed the monk in true cosmic laws and in the universal order that governs nature and humankind. He told of deep, dark secrets that had been passed on to him by a mysterious "Higher Order" who have protected and guided humans since the dawn of creation. The old hermit told of a trip inside a "great metallic body" (a UFO perhaps) and of the visit to a vast cavern, where he was surrounded by various beings: "Here were small men and women, seemingly perfect in every detail and of godlike men, radiating an aura of purity and calm. Others were also manlike, but with curious birdlike heads, complete with feathers and with hands that, although human in shape, had astounding claws. Also there were the giants, immense creatures who loomed like statues, overshadowing their more diminutive companions." Though blind, the old hermit was handed an amazing "sight box", which enabled him to view scenes that had been hidden from humankind for centuries, to protect them from unnecessary self-abuse and harm. This is a tale of secrets, given only to the initiated, such as the author, T. Lobsang Rampa, perhaps the person most responsible - due to his widespread popularity in the mid-20th century - for first bringing Buddhism into the lives of ordinary westerners. ungekürzt.

    I Never Would Have Slept with You If I Had Known You Were a Giant Birdman from Outer Space: Ancient Aliens and Other Mysteries of the Modern Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min
    This is the second edition, published in 2017, featuring an additional half-dozen chapters, thus completing the entire set of Keel articles in this series. It matches the new Kindle version that has also just been published (2017).   Following years of surveillance and harassment from both human and supernatural spooks, intrepid Fortean investigator John A. Keel sat down to compile his thoughts on all he had learned during his 1960s research into UFOs, synchronicity, creature entities, and other unexplained phenomena. The result was a series of concise, thematically related "ancient astronaut" articles, which were published in Saga magazine between 1973 and 1976.   In these papers, Keel pulls together many of the threads discussed in his classic books The Mothman Prophecies and The Eighth Tower, which were written at the same time. By looking at ancient lore and applying it to modern UFO cases, Keel reveals that while the "ancient alien" phenomenon is indeed very ancient, it is certainly not alien.   Using a wide array of evidence, coming from several different angles, Keel deftly explains why the winged, birdlike "ancient aliens" are bent on controlling the human race and how they do it. Surprisingly, Keel's research into Mothman could play a key role in deciphering the mystery of ancient aliens - whether or not the human race was actually created, genetically, by giant birdmen mating with earth women, and whether or not there was once a worldwide religion that worshiped Mothman-like gods.   ungekürzt.

    Piteous Gate
    Experimentelle deepe Elektronik, Cut-Up Rhythmen, Industrial des Barock und kaputtes Geklöppel vom Janus Kollektiv - Mitglied M.E.S.H.Experimentelle deepe Elektronik, Cut-Up Rhythmen, Industrial des Barock und kaputtes Geklöppel vom Janus Kollektiv - Mitglied M.E.S.H. Alongside fellow members of Berlin's Janus collective, recently behind nights at Berghain and Corsica Studios, M.E.S.H. is known for his futurist approach to club dynamics and production. On Piteous Gate, tightly gridded and sculpted sound juts up against loose-wristed improvisation, automated processes, and collage. Standard club syncopation is twisted by sliding tempos, cut and paste time signatures, and indeterminate pacing. Its sound design and compositions are ornate, even courtly, with neo- feudal moods offset by the recurrence of hydraulic hiss and flanger. A synthetic fuel injector revs opener 'Piteous Gate' to life. Drawing from action- scifi film trailers and the sound design of festival trance, its hardcore synthlines shatter into 'Optimate'-stately, spatial, and whiplash - luxurious, with meandering cybernetic drumming. 'Thorium' sends a slow-motion camera through a melting test reactor: all burnt VSTs and synthetic theorbo and loose drums. The Black Pill' smears high-end renaissance sample libraries through arcs of static. In 'Epithet,' temple sewer atmospheres are ruptured by 'Scythians'-style cut-up drums. 'Jester's Visage' indulges a minute-long baroque guitar improv, and territorial youths air their beef in 'Kritikal & X.' Closing out the album, 'Methy Imbiß' is a machinic rhythm track, and 'Azov Seepage' mingles birdlike granular noises with rusted steel clanging. The LP was recorded in Berlin in winter 2015, mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, and pressed on 140g LP and CD. TRACKS: 1. Piteous Gate (02:25) 2. Optimate (04:46) 3. Thorium (05:35) 4. The Black Pill (02:43) 5. Kritikal & X (01:54) 6. Epithet (05:16) 7. Jester's Visage (00:56) 8. Methy Imbiß (03:08) 9. Azov Seepage (04:31)
