Long time readers of this blog will recall its companion website, Circadian Shift: The Outpost, where I used to regularly post retro MP3s and some other stuff.
Then, back in July of last year, the free hosting service that the site is on decided to clamp down on the file types that it hosted, so that you could no longer upload MP3s or other multimedia filetypes, and also set bandwidth restrictions on how much could be downloaded from the site per day and per month.
At the time, any existing multimedia files were left alone, but a few weeks back the provider made good on their promise to lock down on the unauthorized file types, so that if you've clicked recently on one of the few remaining MP3 links to the site, you'd have seen a screen that looks like this. As mentioned before, I have the option to upgrade my account to one of the company's paid hosting packages to lift the restrictions, but I'm not going to bother.
I've left the site up for now, having cleaned out some dead links and changed a few widgets. At some point, I'll probably incorporate the remaining content into a page on this site, and then just kill it. And I still have to go back through the archives here and take out the remaining MP3 links, and also update the sidebar.

Hey: have you heard "Duality" (Lisa Gerrard+Pieter Bourke)?

Hey, Junkman:
No, I'm not familiar with it, but based on a review (http://www.spiderbytes.com/ambientrance/ger-d.htm) that I found online, it sounds interesting.
There's a Dead Can Dance compilation that I have saved to my eMusic wishlist for later download. Maybe I'll move that up in the queue....

Towards the end of "Dead can Dance" there was a seeming problem between Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard, there seemed to be an 'allotment' of tracks to each. Clearly Brendan Perry had decided he wanted other things than what the original idea was all about. This new album (after a couple of solo efforts by Lisa Gerrard) is kinda a back to the beginning thing and different from what Dead can Dance ended up as. Any Dead can Dance compilations I've heard are a 50/50 split of these two different directions that Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard were heading in, and while I guess valid, you end up with an album with two different kinds of music.
