79:28 | 6/05 - Series remastered via Roxio Media editor

Recent aural distractions & atmospheres facillitating free-form thought
data.obscura's final installment.

[thanks to

Sign of the 4 (who were those masked men?) for the track 8 mashup.
The cover, done in Illustrator, coagulated, somewhat, when I exported it as a .jpg; the
actual .ai file is a bit prettier
BONUS: a complimentary copy to the 1st one to tell me which ambient
artist appears twice on this mix !]

Umm....just taking a wild guess, but is it Chris Short? (scratches head)....
looks like a fine mix and I'm actually learning who some of these people are.

The end of "data.obscura?" All ends should be this glorious. Excellent Gene. Lovely cover too, which I'd love to see in Illustrator.

Hmm, as I'm guessing anyway I'll just go with what the French Connection said.

Ladies and Gentlemen the votes have been cast and diligently tallied and after much back and forth the statement issued in the Washington Times tomorrow will declare Dirk Hine as the knowledgeable ambient-man-about-town. Chris Short, being one half of Ma Ja Le (track 5) also plays guitar (heavily processed) on track eight with Vir Unis.

(Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery; all judges' decision final.claims of ballot tampering have not been considered substantial enough to swing the contest, either way.there will not be a re-count [and it's been determined that it indeed was the KGB who poisoned Yushchenko]. Thank you for playing!).

Dude! I voted for Chris Short as well, but my ballot had a hanging chad. The gentleman from California demands a recount! Anyway, this looks like another fine g.a.b. l@bs mix -- which means lots of artists I'm unfamiliar under a well-designed computer-generated cover. Have a merry ambient Christmas!

The last journey in the data obscura! What a great trip it's been :~)Love that Loren Nerell track...and the cover. Beautiful, as always, Gene.

Been out of the loop too long, methinks...this is a fantastic wrap of the series and the year.
