![]() ![]() Rose deftly discloses how these albums enable an affirmation of hope for the human spirit in the face of obstacles, adversity, and despair. Rose's reflection on Pink Floyd's concept albums is timely, reminding us that what is sold to us as the good life is often crazy or misguided Pink Floyd, with Waters at the helm, uses every available tool, from stagecraft to synthesizers to critique a neurotic culture, and Rose's analysis walks us through the craft of their musical masterpieces.-David Franke, professor and director of the professional writing program at SUNY Cortland In this articulate and nuanced investigation, Phil Rose reveals how the concept albums of Roger Waters and Pink Floyd, in both their musical structure and lyrics, provide a space of prolonged thought and a mode of mediation by which people can come to see their own culture through outsider eyes. This is a very ambitious project, of interest to anyone who has listened to Pink Floyd and struggled to explain how exactly they pulled off these art-rock masterpieces. You don't have to be a Pink Floyd fan to appreciate what is accomplished in this study.-Lance Strate, Fordham University Drawing from the concept albums, interviews, and music critics, Rose shows how Pink Floyd is able reject the alienation of contemporary culture and celebrate the generative power of the individual-a powerful critique that is communicated by a complex interplay of sound-shapes, lyrics, and tone that Rose makes approachable and downright fascinating. It is, however, the first to examine and analyze the full measure of the body of work that is Roger Water's contribution to his art, and which explains how such an idiosyncratic artist, with such a coherent, powerful and evolving vision and set of stories to tell, attained such massive, global success.-Thom Gencarelli Gencarelli, ssociate professor and the founding Chair of Manhattan College's Communication program With great precision and insight, Phil Rose provides us with an analysis that ranges from a detailed examination of popular music and lyrics as they relate to psychology and biography, aesthetic issues, and the realities of the recording industry, to broader issues concerning culture and counterculture, capitalism and commercialism, and the social impact of media and technology. This book is not the first full-length scholarly work about Pink Floyd. Phil Rose, with some measure of a fan's interest and sensibility, but more so with the carefully-conceived and deeply-researched approach of a scholar, has done exactly that. The same of course can be said of Roger Waters' music after he left the band in 1985. ![]() ![]() rom the start the reader encounters an in-depth and assured investigation of the musical dimensions of this remarkable group.- "Canadian Journal of Communication" The music of Pink Floyd, in the iterations that were both groups-the early Syd Barrett-led group, and the later group with Roger Waters as principal songwriter-has always been worthy of serious consideration: artistic, popular and academic. Roger Waters and Pink Floyd: The Concept Albums will be required reading for any serious Pink Floyd fan.- "Explorations In Media Ecology" Rogers Waters and Pink Floyd: The Concept Albums represents a welcome and focused effort to examine something the author finds largely missing in popular commercial culture. Ultimately, it demonstrates how their words, sounds, and images work together in order to communicate one fundamental concern, which-to paraphrase the music journalist Karl Dallas-is to affirm human values against everything in life that should conspire against them. This book's analysis of album covers, lyrics, music and film makes use of techniques of literary and film criticism, while employing the combined lenses of musical hermeneutics and discourse analysis, so as to illustrate how sonic and musical information contribute to listeners' interpretations of the discerning messages of these monumental musical artifacts. Encompassing the concept albums that the group released from 1973 to 1983, during Roger Waters' final period with the band, chapters are devoted to Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), The Wall (1979) and The Final Cut (1983), along with Waters' third solo album Amused to Death (1993). Beyond its elucidation and critique of traditional 'notation-centric' musicology, this book's primary emphasis is on the negotiation and construction of meaning within the extended musical multimedia works of the classic British group Pink Floyd. ![]()

![]() ![]() I'm still working on diffrent builds for the outlander class so its only a matter of time to find a build I like.īut so for easiest for me has been engie with the heal bot and all the other nice toys in that spec. In boss fights its real pain in the ass with any adds the boss has, unlike in other games like WoW the pet in this game is not much of a tank for an outlander. You would think so but I find engi to be a bit easier then Outlander, I rolled an Outlander as my second chara and against individual targets outlander is fine, but when you get in those monster pile ups you pretty much have to tuck tail and run, switch to a CC weapon like the shotgun and pray nothings loops behind you or comes from the side. But let's be real, ranged DPS always have the best survivability. And just like all of them, I'll have angry Outlander player now replying and saying how much skill it takes, etc etc etc. Just like in Diablo 3 it was the Demon Hunter.

I will have to play both classes more, but so far the Outlander doesn't even come close. From the few skills that I have tried so far, Embermage has some ridiculous damage potential. The point I am getting at is it isn't always the bow user, and I don't think Outlander is going to take the title. Sorceress from D2 and Paladin with enigma from D2. Each has its own unique playstyle and key advantages to dominate in combat. In which case, you forgot several examples of games that date farther back. There are four classes to be found in Torchlight 2, Outlander, Embermage, Berserker, and Engineer.

A bow, a different eye shape – perhaps being long eyelashes – red, feminine lips and even a beauty spot. The main character had several visual features to differentiate her from her male counterpart. Screenshot of the XBox Live Arcade port of Ms. Namco did have input on the game, though what form this took – or how much influence they had – isn’t entirely certain beyond Namco’s then-President advising GCC to make some changes to the character’s design specifically, her hair. Several quick name changes to the game followed, with the developers soon settling on Ms. However, inspiration was taken from an unusual source – Crazy Otto’s interstitial animated scenes, which featured Otto and a female character – and the game was soon changed to feature a female protagonist. The characters and other elements of the game were then changed to bring it back in keeping with the look and feel of Pac-Man.Īt first, the game was more of a straight sequel to Pac-Man the working title was Super Pac-Man. Being keen to capitalise on the success seen by Pac-Man, Midway bought the rights to Crazy Otto. In a smart move, they decided to deal directly with Midway – who licensed Namco’s arcade titles for North American distribution. When they got into legal trouble with Atari – the conversion kit wasn’t officially sanctioned by the then-giant video game company – the future of the Pac-Man mod kit they were working on, Crazy Otto, was uncertain. American company General Computer Corporation had produced a mod kit which ‘enhanced’ Atari’s Missile Command, upgrading it to ‘Super Missile Attack’.

When Namco’s Pac-Man was released in 1980, it became a genuine pop culture phenomenon – and was one of the first games to truly give not just its protagonist tons of character, but the enemies too.

![]() ![]() ![]() It has a real visionary quality to it." Bangalter recalled that he had composed heroic themes for the protagonists, while de Homem-Christo had written the darker musical cues. "Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first will not be erased by the new one. De Homem-Christo also stated that Tron was a strong influence on him as a child. Ĭommenting on the Tron: Legacy score, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo commented that "We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine." Daft Punk cited Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film, as inspiration for the soundtrack as well as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre. It was a continual translation between the two worlds and hopefully we put something together that will be something different because of that. We were just together working throughout the whole process and there was never a point where the orchestra was not in their minds and the electronics were not in my mind. I was locked in a room with robots for almost two years and it was simply a lot of hard work. It seems complicated at the end of the day, but it’s actually quite simple. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating: The orchestra was conducted by Gavin Greenaway. The band collaborated with him for two years on the score, from pre-production to completion. Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese, who stated he is a fan of Daft Punk as a duo and as solo artists. Kosinski stated that the score is intended to be a mixture of orchestral and electronic music. The score of Tron: Legacy features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. Noé had asked Bangalter to compose the soundtrack to the film Enter the Void, but Bangalter was working on Tron: Legacy at the time and instead served as sound effects director. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the soundtrack to Gaspar Noé's 2002 film Irréversible. ![]() When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" The film producers initially attempted to reach Daft Punk in 2007, but the duo had been unavailable due to their Alive 2006/2007 tour. Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score. It is the only film score by French music duo Daft Punk. Six more tracks at alexdaft26‘s YouTube channel, if they haven’t yet been taken down by steroidal, mouse ear-wearing superlawyers by the time you read this.Tron: Legacy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2010 film of the same name, released by Walt Disney Records on December 3, 2010. Which is all the more reason to hit the jump and listen to them now while you can: Think of it as an investment in being up on things. Disney has been very protective of Tron stuff, so it’s a good bet that if these are real, they’ll be gone by the end of the day today. Sonic comparisons aside, the biggest reason to suspect these might not be real is that you can still listen to them: The tracks were uploaded on July 26th, eons ago in Internet time, and started getting major attention as of yesterday, with the compilation track racking up close to 30,000 hits on YouTube. From afar, it sounds well Daft Punk-y and like it certainly could be the soundtrack to a movie about people who wear glowing suits and ride around on lightcycles, but there are a few reasons to suspect it isn’t: I’ll confess I haven’t gotten the chance to listen to the whole thing and must rely on second-hand information, but it supposedly does not quite match with what official music has been released by Disney. ![]() If this is real, it would be a leak of some magnitude: One YouTube user, alexdaft26, has uploaded what purports to be the entirety of the Tron Legacy soundtrack as composed by Daft Punk. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are more likely to introduce a community edition of some other IDE like rider because of unity support, not WebStorm. As much as I'd like one, it's most likely against their business model. Like I understand that this is an age-old question of whether or not JetBrains will release a community edition of WebStorm or not. We have 3 major releases a year, it means that you can run a free trial version 3 times a year for 30 days after every release. Note that the 30-day free trial is available for every major product update (e.g. Plus, we keep the WebStorm price relatively low for individuals (it’s just US $59 a year, and the price goes down every next year of use) so that more individual developers can afford it. Anyway, we try to support the community in other different ways, such as giving away WebStorm subscriptions to open-source projects or providing discounts for students and educational institutions. It’s a significant commitment that we aren’t ready to make at the moment. So, if we made such a radical change, we’d have to fully restructure the existing sales model and, what’s more, the entire platform architecture. Unfortunately, it’s not feasible right now, mainly because the WebStorm functionality is included in a lot of other JetBrains IDEs. We’d lie if we said that we’d never thought about introducing a community edition of WebStorm. ![]() I'm merely pointing out that in client-side web application development, VS Code is eating your lunch, at least as far as public perception goes. Without a WebStorm community edition, like almost everyone else, I'll simply use VS Code in my talks, thus moving students and attendees farther away from JetBrains.įwiw, I have a full, every-tool-included, annual JetBrains subscription, so I'm not saying this to save a few bucks myself. I'll never send them to a non-GA, EAP version and hope that everything is stable enough for them not to stumble because of an unreleased tool. I understand there are ways to work around this, as the answer above shows, but again, that would never be a "trick" I'd recommend to an audience. This represents lost mindshare.Īs someone who does these talks and who is planning to post some online videos and training, I simply cannot expect someone to shell out money for a tool to use in the class or to follow along in a presentation. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen a conference talk or YouTube tutorial that used WebStorm. I can't count the number of online classes, YouTube videos, conference demos, and other presentations I've seen over the last year that used the free VS Code IDE. I think it's a mistake not to have a community edition for WebStorm. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stack 3 – 4 Grit Guards on top of one another to scrub buffing pads using a machine polisher.Use the Grit Guard when cleaning automobile parts or to drain oil filters.Use the Grit Guard Insert to clean paint brushes by scrubbing the bristles across the grid when submerged in water or paint thinner.Use the Grit Guard in each wash bucket: the rinse bucket, the soap bucket, and the third wheel-cleaning bucket.

Orr’s book examines the poem and its author, and explores the issues of choice and the chooser. ![]() He thought it was about Frost actually regretting things and not about him – it took six letters between them until Thomas understood.” “Frost wrote it as a joke and sent it to Thomas without any accompanying text. “They would take these walks in the woods together, and depending on the paths they would take, Thomas would instantly regret whatever path he’d taken,” Orr said. It’s more about the self-deception we practice when we tell the story of our own lives … the misunderstandings and corrections we keep making, and the anxiety we have about choice.”įrost often said he wrote it for his friend Edward Thomas, a poet and critic who was weighing a decision to enter the Army. “At the end, the speaker saying that in the future, I will be saying that the road that I took was the road less traveled. ![]() “But earlier in the poem, Frost has made very clear that the roads are interchangeable,” Orr said. Most readers, he said, focus only on the end of the poem giving it meaning: “I took the one less traveled by,/and that has made all the difference.” … Even readers who spend time studying it get it a little bit wrong.” “The drama of the poem revolves around the way we misinterpret it. But in fact, the standard interpretation is almost the opposite of what the poet meant,” said Orr, poetry columnist for The New York Times Book Review and Professor of the Practice in Cornell’s Department of English. Hardly a graduation speech goes by that it is not quoted.
