A Place Behind The Moon, Big Gigantic‘s sophomore album, will be released September 1st, 2010 on 1320 Records. A Place Behind The Moon explores a unique mixture of electronic and acoustic styles, clearly defining a vision the band has conceived and mastered. This is the strongest statement to date by this young duo that effortlessly melds saxophone and syncopated drum rhythms with electronic landscapes, truly bringing a incredibly unique sound to the electronic genre. From the first note of the Saxophone mixed with drums and electronic undertones, A Place Behind The Moon demonstrates Big Gigantic’s successful leap deep into the future of electronic music by staying in touch with their musical roots while making some history of their own.

**The album will be available for free download similar to that of their last 2 releases.

**All purchased copies of the album will include higher quality mp3′s as well as a special bonus track featuring a first time studio collaboration between all the members of STS9 and Big Gigantic**

Cool story, bro. Cooler music. Peep the video above promoting the album. The song in the video is titled “Limelight” which can also be downloaded below:

‘The Future‘ is a 2008 album by Swedish electronic music producer, Beem (Fredrik Mjelle) that features cover art for each of its tracks with vintage synthesizers and drum machines built from LEGO bricks by designer Frans Enmark. Listeners can expect a funky, jazzy, bassy experience when embarking on this 10 track musical high available legally and free of charge. The song ‘Ep9‘, whether intended or not, contains a melody reminiscent of the Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway ‘Be Real Black for Me‘ sample used in rapper Scarface‘s 2002 single, ‘My Block‘ and it’s really, really cool. There’s also track made entirely with sounds from soda cans! Below is a video of a live version of ‘Mouth Everest.’

Professor Hobart Frisbee proclaimed “Gentlemen, I am an Idiot, an absolute idiot… do you realize that since we’ve been cooped up here that music has changed, and changed considerably. I’ve been completely unaware of this situation. However, I tend to rectify it immediately… gentlemen, I’m going out… out into the world, out of this house, out to tap the major sources of this new music.” then the other men in the room, all white save one, spurt out, “boojie-woojie?” “toobie-dixie?” “jum?” “jive?” “swing?” “blues?” “rhe-bobbety-boobity-bip?” “rhebop?“

The 1948 film, A Song Is Born was produced by Samuel Goldwyn (the ‘G’ in MGM) and directed by influential director, Howard Hawks whom also directed the original Scarface produced by Hollywood legend Howard Hughes. The film starring Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo is a musical and Technicolor remake of the 1941 film, Ball of Fire with Gary Cooper. The plot focuses on a professor writing an encyclopedia about music with fellow scholars and are introduced to jazz by two black window washers Buck and Bubbles played by the performance group of the same name with Ford L. Buck and John W. ‘Bubbles’ Sublett (whom talent at dancing was the inspiration for Michael Jackson‘s naming of his famed pet chimpanzee.)

The movie also starred musical legends Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton and Benny Carter in addition to other other musical acts of the era. I haven’t actually seen the film yet, but I stumbled across it today on YouTube while researching Louis Armstrong. Anyone seriously into music definitely should see it. It’s available for viewing on YouTube and it can be purchased on DVD for relatively cheap on Amazon.com.
