Skynoise: A Time Travel Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 451min
In 1587, over 100 colonists, desperate for a better life in the new world, disappear without a trace from a settlement on tiny Roanoke Island, just off the coast of North Carolina. And now, in the present day, tremendous, undulating wails are being heard in the sky all over the world, with no apparent earthly origin. To Helen Weils, best-selling author and respected academic, history is a realm of observable facts, each one carefully weighed and inspected. So when she encounters Chip Sledd, a conspiracy theorist who insists there's an unimaginable connection between the disappearance of the colonists in 1587 and the strange noises in the sky, she's quick to dismiss his theories as the irrational ramblings of a lunatic. But when black-suited agents begin pursuing her and Chip, Helen soon realizes that the past is a lot more flexible than she ever thought possible - and seeking the truth sometimes means accepting the strangest theory of them all. In this riveting time travel techno thriller, USA Today best-selling author Ernie Lindsey takes listeners on a captivating journey throughout history. With a blend of mystery, suspense, psychological drama, and fast-paced action adventure, Skynoise promises, and delivers. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rebecca Roberts.

Quest of the Keys , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min
In the timeless shadows of the mines, distant screams glide across rock walls worn by running water and groping hands. Here where the sunlight never reaches, the picking of axes and dragging of chains is met by the wails of new slaves and the dying of the old. The guards' words echo off the walls as if from the dark heart of the mountain itself, crushing any hope of freedom: You are nothing here! You have no power and no chance of escape. Returning to his hometown defeated, penniless, and desperate, Decklen resolves to seek help from the only man strong enough to provide it - the elder of Leonesse. When he pleads his case to the elder, Decklen is not offered access to the town's resources as he had hoped. Instead, he is presented with an invitation - an offer to begin a quest to unlock eight scrolls and learn the secrets therein. But to do so, Decklen must find each key. Could it be that this quest will prepare him for the dangers ahead? But for two tenacious captives - Decklen, a young man coping with the mistakes of his past, and Camberly, a feisty 10-year-old orphan - escape from the mines is not a dream; it is their reality. However, Camberly's brother has accidentally been left behind. They must go back for him; they must free him from the debilitating darkness. But how can Decklen face the nightmare of the mines again? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: B.J. Harrison. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/012249/bk_acx0_012249_sample.mp3.

Savior: The Higher Collective, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
Alexander Lucas is a man of faith, casino owner and vampire. He should be living the Reno high life of riches and immortality. Instead, he wakes each night despising the blood on his hands and begging for a reason to continue on. The last beat of his heart took place shortly after losing his family to a gruesome and violent death. One snowy night, the creature who had been stalking him finally took his life, in turn giving him the gift of immortality. Yet, immortality to Alex is not a gift, but rather a curse to live in eternal pain. Nearly a century of tortured existence leads him to a dumpster in a dark alley where he finds a reason for continuing on. Nestled between bits of debris and rubbish a tiny infant wails for help. He calls for his best friend and guardian angel, Danielle, who explains to him that he has been chosen to raise this baby, for she would someday become a very powerful, natural witch. She tells him it is now his job to protect her from the enemy who wants her so badly, yet also to be her father. Thinking this angel is out of her mind, Alex refuses many times until Danielle convinces him that the enemy, Malcolm and his wife Levine, cannot obtain the child and that they are, indeed attempting to find her. He must keep her safe, because if evil hands raise her than she will grow to possess the power to annihilate them all. Luckily, Alex is not alone, he has the Higher Collective to assist in his mission. With the combined powers of the vampires, angels, dark angels, witches, and warlocks, the Higher Collective prepares for a battle to protect the child from the evil she may possibly inherit. ungekürzt.

Operator #5 #3, June 1934: Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 353min
From out of the pages of Operator #5 magazine steps a dramatic hero who pits himself against threats to national security from all origins. Whether it's a subversive internal threat, or a full-scale invasion from an enemy land, James Christopher stood ready and resolute to defeat it. James Christopher did not technically belong to the U. S. Secret Service. He was a top agent for an America's unnamed Intelligence Service. It was in his blood. His father, John Christopher, retired from the same agency years before. Answerable only to his superior, Z-7, and carrying a letter from the President of the United States identifying him as Operator #5, Jimmy Christopher played for keeps. He carried a rapier sewn into his belt, and in a golden skull hanging from his watch-chain was a reservoir of poison to be swallowed in the event of capture. Aided by a small group of trusted assistants, ranging from his twin sister Nan to scrappy street urchin Tim Donovan, Jimmy Christopher was a one-man defense force. Proud and patriotic, expert marksman and swordsman, he is the best America has to offer in a time of severe trial. Fresh from his epic battle with the malevolent forces of the Yellow Empire in the previous exploit torn from the pages of Operator #5 magazine, James Christopher once again grapples with the machinations of the belligerent Asian Island nation in The Yellow Scourge. One moment good-will bound the United States and the great Power across the sea-the next, shells screamed their death wails into Coast homes and factories. No citizen was safe from the bloody holocaust when the Yellow Empire struck without warning from the Pacific. With fiendish artifice the world was turned against us. And somewhere in this country, covertly completing the terrifying work of wholesale destruction, lurked the ruthless agent of the invading hordes. Operator #5 alone guessed the dread secret and matched his individual might against a million wa ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Richard Epcar.

Bronze Mystic
(LTD multi-coloured splatter LP) Das zweite Album der UK-Mathrocker spielt mehr mit Elektronik und sogar Industrial, atmet aber auch dunklen Ambient und Postrock.Das zweite Album der UK-Mathrocker spielt mehr mit Elektronik und sogar Industrial, atmet aber auch dunklen Ambient und Postrock. Für Fans von The Battles, PVT / Pivot, Errors, Three Trapped Tigers After releasing their debut album, a monstrous slab of dark experimental rock Yours Sincerely Dr. Hardcore in 2012 and at the peak of their sci-fi powers Wrexham s Gallops soon announced they were no more and broke up in 2013. In 2016, almost three years to the day, they announced their return. We missed it too much, basically having some time away from the band gave us a fresh perspective and made us realise that Gallops still has life in it. It just needed a nap. After awaking from their nap, they have done so revitalised, rejuvenated and driven, creating an album that has stretched their horizons even further and is driven by the propulsive charge of electronic music. That said, guitars and drums are far from strangers on the record, but instead they are used to colour and shade around the electronic centerpiece of the record. We are very interested in marrying the real with the unreal. Sonically the record matches the band member s fuller sense of scope and vision, the sputtering electronics, and often-elongated guitar wails, recall the dystopian visions as depicted in the finest 1980s horror and sci-fi films. There are moments of soaring post-rock, humming dark ambience, esoteric offshoots, bubbling electronics and even the odd gargle of industrial-tinged noise. TRACKS: 1. Actual Landscapes 2. Shakma 3.

Madeline
THE LIVING SEA Modern Day Detachment Records/Lunch Records Madeline EP 5-song CD Formed in 2004, this band has gone through several lineup changes (including the departure of lead singer Adam Rich), they seem to have completely reinvented themselves with the addition of vocalist Catie Rae Zappala whose siren song wails above waves of reverb drenched guitar. Fans of Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Regina Spektor, Arcade Fire, and Slowdive will absolutely love this fresh approach to a nostalgic classic shoegaze. This is a band for the ages. I can't wait to hear more. (Joel Simches) BIO Anchored by castaways Neil Simmons and Michael Crockett of There Were Wires and The Burning Paris respectively, The Living Sea has returned with madeline. First launched in 2004, TLS has endured lineup changes, and personal tradigies to finish their first studio album, with new vocalist Catie Rae Zappala and bassist Dave Carlson. Recorded at Camp St. Studio in Cambridge, The Madeline EP features 5 songs that have been a staple of The Living Sea's live set over the last year. ^#^in a day when techno music fills the clubs, madeline challenges listeners with melodies as agressive as it's angular guitars and introspective rythyms, combined with Zappala's optimistic, heartfelt lyrics. Modern Day Detachment Records moderndaydetachment@gmail.com PRESS From the Boston Phoenix: Two promising local indie-rock up-and-comers have up and come out with new CDs for your enjoyment. The LIVING SEA are preparing for the release of their new Madeline EP, a five-track spread of lush guitar textures, explosive rhythms, and vocals that soar through the din like a bottle rocket. They'll drop the good stuff this Saturday, August 2, at Great Scott, joined by LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SHORE LEAVE, and MR. NI$E ------------- From the Boston Metro: The Living Sea's Catie Zappala takes a vocal approach akin to Regina Spektor and Martha Wainwright, letting the words roll around in her mouth a bit before peppering them over the lush, angular sonics of their "Madeline" EP. The Mystery Tramps, Loud Clappers and Motorcar. ^#^round out the bill. -------------- From Boston Globe - Stuff@ Night by Liza Weisstuch | July 25, 2008 According to their MySpace page, Boston band the Living Sea counts New Order, Heart, Thin Lizzy, mermaids, and beer as a few of their many influences. We would add to that catalog Karen O. of the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, Tortoise, and Chicago electronic-tinged art rockers the Sea and Cake (the "Sea" part is completely coincidental, we're sure). Their new CD is coming out on Lunch Records, and tonight the indie-electronic-pop outfit is celebrating by playing their own party at Great Scott (1222 Comm Ave, Allston, 617.566.9014). We're pretty sure there'll be beer, which of course means there will be inspiration. Dive in around 9 p.m. Tickets are $8 at the door. ------------- Joel Simches, The Noise-'This is my new favorite band.' ------------- The Pill- 'Traveling the quickest route from Point A to B requires a journey through the mind of The Living Sea, a Boston-based rock and roll railroad of an ensemble that blends scratch acid vocal harmonies and angular guitars driven by echoing soundscapes and impulsive breaks. Self-described as 'a thirteen year old gothic chick's favorite band, our name scrawled in Bic on her notebook,'Lunch Record darlings The Living Sea takes the best elements of Daryl Palumbo's epic compositions and dresses it up for the midnight ball.' -the Pill.- Shop: odax
