As always there are spoilers ahead! Blade Runner was not a huge hit in 1982 but it did gain a fair few fans on its initial release. One of those fans was a teenager from Cheshire by the name of Paul Franklin who would go on to work on numerous big budget films and win two Oscars for his work as a Special Effects Supervisor on Interstellar and Inception. I spoke to Paul about his first impressions of the film, what makes it special and how it influences Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises. Apologies for the abrupt ending to this episode. It is late, I've been quite busy and I have other work I really must tend to. Details of the next episode at the bottom of the show notes.

Josh drops a chopstick at a restaurant and, without thinking, flags down the waiter for a new one. Dion and Christian are baffled. To them, you pick it up, you wipe it, and then you keep eating. To Josh, that's grub behaviour! We try to work out where the line is between sensible hygiene and prissy fussing, and whether wiping a fork on your t-shirt actually does anything. Then Christian gets pulled up over a request he made in a work meeting: He asked people to turn their cameras on. We try and establish when the camera-off culture took hold, and whether eating during a meeting is a fair play or rudeness of the highest order. Plus: would you rather eat a Dorito in its current form, or shaped like a Pringle and stacked in a tube? Christian thinks Pringles have figured something out the rest of the industry hasn't. The episode closes with the three of us trying to recreate a Vangelis instrument with our noses.

Amarok c'est le jeudi et l'Ascension c'est toujours un jeudi alors il fallait bien que je fasse un jour une thématique, même pour le moins… approximative ! Rassurez-vous, pas de playlist "religieuse"; mais juste un clin d'œil avec deux morceaux portant ce titre similaire ainsi qu'une musque globalement "aérienne" (avec pas mal de synthétiseurs) et /ou aux noms quelque peu évocateurs : En ouverture d'émission j'ai choisi un titre tiré d'un livre d'Atrhur C. Clarke qui y décrit un système permettant de faire monter à bord d'un vaisseau spatial (de terriens en exil faisant escale en orbite d'une planète), de l'eau grâce à un câble, opération très sensible ayant pour nom Ascension et dont le titre figure sur l'adaptation musicale de ce roman sous le même titre "Songs Of Distant Eatrh" par MIKE OLDFIELD en 1994. Le second morceau intitulé "Ascension" en fin de programme est effectivement une musique dont le terme se rapporte à la spiritualité, publié en 2021 par le King of the Keybords RICHARD ANTHONY BEAN, tiré de l'album éponyme. Un instrumental épique et chargé d'émotions comme Richard sait si bien le faire ! J'en profite pour vous recommander sa nouvelle production : un album de reprises de de l'un des mentors de Richard, le grand Vangelis, sous le titre Pulstar", dix reprises par le disciple anglais disponible ! Entre ces deux titres, une expérience religieuse. Rassurez--vous, je veux parler de ce titre particulier de KEVIN AYERS ! "Religious Experience", titre de travail de "Singing A Song In The Morning", 1er single de Kevin Ayers en solo sorti quelques mois après son 1er album "Joy Of A Toy" (1969) dont l'extrait "Eleanor's Cake" était placé en face B ("Singing ..." n'étant pas sur l'album original). Le contexte : Avec ses collègues de Soft Machine qu'il vient de quitter, Kevin a donné un coup de main à l'enregistrement de "Madcap Laughs", 1er album solo de SYD BARRETT, leader et co-fondateur de Pink Floyd dont on connait l'état psychique dans il se trouvait alors et qui avait sérieusement besoin de renforts pour aller au terme de cet album… Durant ces séances, Syd va enregistrer une piste de guitare pour Kevin, destiné à son single, piste qui ne sera finalement pas conservée dans le mixage final paru début 1970. Hors en 2003, à l'occasion de la réédition de l'album "Joy Of A Toy", ce fameux single réintitulé "Religious Experience" y est ajouté en bonus avec la piste guitare de Syd ! Un beau témoignage et c'est cette version qui vous était proposée dans ce numéro ! Nous avons quitté provisoirement les Sujets de sa Majesté pour aller faire un tour en Russie y retrouver le duo SUN Q. Bientôt dix ans que ce duo composé d' Ivan Shalimov et Elena Tiron y fait ses gammes et j'avais eu plaisir à diffuser des extrait de leur album "Myth" en 2023. Sun Q propose habituellement une pop-rock à tendance progressive mais sur ce nouvel opus, ils ont imaginé ce qu'aurait pu être "Mythe" s'il avait été écrit dans les années 80, dans la mouvance new wave, synthpop. "Mythwave" n'est pas un réenregistrement de "Myht" mais un aperçu de ce que sa création aurait pu être dans cet univers hybride entre nostalgie analogique et univers cinématique et futuriste. Le visuel de l'album (sorti aujourd'hui même ! ) représente une pochette de vinyle écorné et je lui souhaite une belle… ascension dans les charts ! Autre nouveauté fort intéressante : "Fields And Worms" par LUCIE SHAME. Je n'ai découvert cette artiste que cette semaine et même si je m'éloigne des musiques progressives, ce single n'est pas hors de propos dans cette émission, un morceau plutôt "art rock - folk" s'il fallait vraiment lui coller une étiquette mais surtout d'un grande sensibilité. Sa créatrice et interprète a reçue une éducation musicale classique au piano mais très vite, elle s'est découvert une appétence pour la poésie, l'écriture et la composition. Et puis le grunge à l'adolescence. Forte de ce bagage hybride, elle enregistre un album sur un simple magnéto cassette à 17 ans dans sa chambre. Ajoutez une expérience de vie personnelle assez rude et vous avez alors quelques éléments pour comprendre sa musique, un croisement entre classique, P.J. Harvey et Kate Bush et ce titre que je vous proposais donc dans ce numéro, un texte évoquant à la première personne la plongée dans l'au-delà d'une suicidée, pas le titre le plus gai de l'émission je vous l'accorde, mais d'une magnifique sensibilité ! Ce qui est incroyable avec cette émission c'est qu'en la préparant je fais encore des découvertes d'artistes pourtant reconnus mais dont j'étais passé à côté… Alors sachant que cette émission est aussi (un peu) suivie au Québec, j'entend déjà des railleries (justifiées) outre atlantique ! ! JEAN-PIERRE FERLAND y a été célèbre, et même animateur de télé ! Mais évidemment c'est sa musique qui m'a interpellé (grâce aux bons conseils judicieux d'un ami musicien). A ma décharge, son œuvre n'est pas spécifiquement "rock progressif" mais quand même : l'album "Jaune", quelle originalité ! Si la structure musicale n'est pas forcément prog, la subtilité des arrangements, le son, tout en fait un album qui a légitimement sa place ici ! D'ailleurs, on y trouve un certain Tony Levin, bassiste futur membre de King Crimson, tiens donc… mais aussi (entre autres) le guitariste David Spinoza qui sera appelé à jouer entre autres belles collaborations (la liste est trop longue) , sur des albums de McCartney, Lennon et Star. Jean-Pierre nous a quittés en 2024 mais il laisse une belle discographie à (re)découvrir peu importe les genres et notamment "Jaune" cette pépite de 1970 donc l'extrait "God Is An America", titre forcément lié au thème de ce numéro mais surtout qui n' a jamais sonné aussi juste face aux égos démesurés d'un Donald ou autres dirigeants actuels, laissez moi rire...jaune ! Il y a quelques semaines, une nouvelle pépite est arrivée : "Autumn" , le nouvel album du multi-instrumentiste normand (entre autres compétences de producteur, auteur de musique de films) EMMANUEL QUENNEVILLE. A l'inverse de son dernier album "Dôme" qui nous avaient envoyés dans l'espace, ce nouvel opus sonne plus près de nous pauvres pécheurs mais reste aussi pas certains côtés, un album encore aérien (Si vous êtes aficionados de la musique oldfieldienne, vous noterez les influences dans le jeu de guitare d'Emmanuel qui lui confère aussi cet aspect). Plus lyrique aussi, il invite tant à l'introspection qu'au voyage intérieur (je vous recommande une belle séance d'écoute au casque , imparable ! ). En bonus, la superbe pochette de l'album digne de la célèbre maison Hipgnosis (à qui l'on doit notamment la plupart des pochettes de Pink Floyd),mais c'est à sa fille Clem qui a réalisé ce beau visuel, image garantie sans intelligence artificielle ! Enfin, sans citer tous les collaborateurs de ce bel album, mais au moins quand même : Lambert Wilson et Pedro Almodovar ! Le cinéma dans vos oreilles ! Désolé si j'ai plombé l'ambiance avec le single de Lucie Shame, mais je réitère avec histoire de femme découverte dans son appartement londonien trois ans après sa mort. Le talentueux STEVEN WILSON s'est inspirée de cette tragédie symptomatique de notre société d'isolement derrière l'apparence d'être connectés… Le 4ème album solo du fondateur de Porcupine Tree basé sur ce triste fait ...d'hiver social est juste entré parmi les indispensables de ma discographie. Extrait dans ce numéro de "Hand Cannot Erase" sorti en 2015. Je vous rappelle qu'en 2026, Steven Wilson se produira en concert uniquement pour deux dates uniques : 28 et 29 octobre au prestigieux Royal Albert Hall avec chœur et orchestre, avis aux fans ! Le multi-instrumentiste et producteur anglais BRENDAN PERKINS vient de publier un nouvel album intitulé "Trading River Songs qu'il décrit comme "rock progressif pastoral et symphonique". Je l'en remercie car cela m'évite d'avoir à trop me creuser la tête pour le décrire, oui j'aime bien aussi profiter des jours fériés ! Cela dit, je vous confirme que la description est correcte, j'ajouterai qu'à l'instar d' "Autumn" d'Emmanuel Quenneville, cet album gagne à être écouté en immersion et sous casque. Le titre éponyme proposé ce soir évoque les épreuves d'une famille qui va retrouver son statut de "clan". Vous avez les infos : montez le son ! Pour revenir au thème de notre émission, pas possible de passer à côté de la Genèse, autrement dit GENESIS ! L'occasion de revenir sur cet album (double et pas expresso s'il vous plait ! ) de 1974 : "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway". Un album remarquable et ultime participation de Peter Gabriel qui s'est vu offrir (l'album, pas Peter ! ) à l'occasion de ses 50 ans une cure de remasterisation augmentée d'un live d'époque et de quelques goodies dans un somptueux coffret. Bon encore des sous à dépenser mais c'est vrai que 50 ans ça se fête ! Le problème c'est que cette époque bénie du rock progressif regorge de rééditions sous formes d'onéreux coffrets depuis quelques années. On devrait être plus tranquille et faire des économies à la fin de la décennie ! Avant de refermer cet épisode et reprendre l'Ascension avec Richard Anthony Bean, un petit tour en Australie avec un groupe au nom un peu à rallonge : THE SEA NOT HAVE THEM (du nom d'un film de guerre anglais et devise de l'unité de secours de la Royal Air Force). Mais revenons à ce qui nous intéresse ici, la musique. TSNHT (c'est plus facile ! ) propose un post-rock ambient qui se caractérise par un juste équilibre entre un son puissant, énergique et des sonorités aériennes. Finalement on peut faire une analogie avec la Royal Air Force ! Cette formation m'était inconnue mais je suis tombé dessus (pas de mon Hawker je vous rassure ! ) en suivant l'actu de leurs compatriotes ORPHANED BEE, projet qui propose un mélange de synthwave et de rock psychédélique et que j'ai déjà eu l'occasion de vous présenter ici. Le single "No Breathing In Dreams" vient donc d'être publié par TSNHT mais en collaboration pertinente et réussie avec les Orphaned Bee. Le temps de gagner en altitude pour une Ascension finale, promis je reviens sur Terre jeudi prochain à 20h ! Thierry Joigny AMAROK, chaque jeudi à 20h

Mucho se ha hablado sobre el retorno de la fe, sobre un hipotético nuevo despertar católico entre la juventud. Bien, pues si para algo nos está sirviendo lo que estamos viendo es para constatar, por si algún ingenuo aún tuviera alguna duda, que la tan cacareada vuelta a lo católico, a la hora de la verdad, consistía en dejar al Papa solo ante los ataques de la extrema derecha y ante las amenazas de Trump que, recordemos, no solo ha insultado y humillado a Prevost sino que, además, le ha instado a que se someta forzosamente a su poder bajo amenaza de coacción militar contra el Vaticano.Esa cobardía que vemos en parte del mundo católico tiene especial importancia porque el Papa pidió expresamente que no le dejaran solo en su oposición a la guerra. Pero los jóvenes que buscaban a Dios, al final, solo querían cantar y ver a Rosalía, Carlos. Y ligar, claro. Y si para ligar tienen que cantar «tú has venido a la orilla», pues lo cantan. Pero, en realidad, habrían cantado hasta el himno del PSOE, el de Vangelis, si eso les asegura un buen ‘match'. Y hacen bien, por cierto.Más me preocupa el silencio táctico de parte del mundo católico, ese que se decía muy creyente, pero que, al final, tras la cruz del logo solo escondía una agenda política. Es especialmente triste que sus críticas al Papa vengan precisamente por plantar cara a los criminales y por ponerse del lado de los pobres, de los inmigrantes y de la paz, es decir, de la vida. Aunque para algunos, ser pro-vida consista en bombardear países.León tiene algo que algunos no le perdonarán: el tipo sigue a Jesús, qué cosas. No solo entiende su mensaje, sino que, además, se lo cree. "Una religión sin piedad es un escándalo a los ojos de Dios", dijo ayer, en Argelia. ¡Qué bochorno, piedad! ¿Qué será lo siguiente, Carlos? ¿Decir que nos amemos los unos a los otros? Pues mira, a lo mejor por ahí va la cosa. Por algo de amor y un buen 'match', yo creo que dejan de cantar y abrazan al Papa. Y si además hay pasta, a toda la Guardia Suiza.

This week, we discuss the atmospheric, dystopian sci-fi noir, Blade Runner, the film that ranks number 97 on the AFI list.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A Warner Bros. and The Ladd Company production. Released on June 25, 1982. Directed by Ridley Scott. Screenplay by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos. Cinematography by Jordan Cronenweth. Edited by Terry Rawlings. Music by Vangelis.
Altro appuntamento dedicato al cinema sportivo insieme all'amico giornalista e scrittore Emiliano Tozzi per parlare di "Momenti di gloria" (Chariots of Fire) un film britannico diretto da Hugh Hudson, vincitore di 4 Premi Oscar tra cui Miglior Film.La storia vera di due atleti britannici che partecipano alle Olimpiadi di Parigi del 1924: Harold Abrahams, ebreo di origini lituane, che corre per affermarsi in una società ancora segnata dall'antisemitismo ed Eric Liddell, cristiano scozzese fervente, che vede la corsa come un atto di devozione a Dio.Fede, identità, ambizione e sacrificio, sono i temi sullo sfondo dell'Inghilterra degli anni Venti per un film che viene ricordato soprattutto per l'iconica colonna sonora di Vangelis, diventata uno dei temi musicali più riconoscibili della storia del cinema.
i denne udgave får du globale hits, som ikke kommer fra UK/US, hvor de fleste hits normalt kommer fra. Sejrstimen har jo ikke just været en 'hit parade' igennem de over 200 programmer (bevidst;). Men nogle få temaer har dog alligevel fokuseret på hits med en særlig vinkel. Således også i dette nye "Hits from non-English artists". De engelsk talende nationer har jo i meget høj grad domineret pop og rock musikken siden Elvis og Beatles, hvilket selvfølgelig skyldes sproget og den kulturelle status i verden men også et meget stort antal kunstnere. Dette tema vil derimod give plads til en del af de navne, der ikke kom fra hhv. Storbritannien, USA, Australien og Canada, men som alligevel slog igennem med et eller flere hits på de britiske og amerikanske hitlister. De fleste af dem sang dog stadig på engelsk og det må generelt siges at være den afgørende adgangs billet. Men der er faktisk nogle eksempler på, at en sang på artistens eget sprog er gået helt til tops i England og/eller USA. Dog skal det også bemærkes, at der naturligvis er store dele af verden, hvor sange bliver et hit for millioner uden at de kendes eller opdages i Vesten. Selvfølgelig jo Asien, Afrika, Sydamerika, Mellemøsten og til dels Sydeuropa. Listen kunne sagtens rumme flere andre sange, men som altid er det mine helt subjektive valg og delvise favoritter. Derfor vil der være et overtal af hits fra 70'erne og 80'erne men dog eksempler fra det nye årtusinde, især danske. Alphaville, Boney M., Cardigans, Neneh Cherry, Double, Earth & Fire, Patrick Hernandez, Jean-Michel Jarre, Grace Jones, Matia Bazar, Mory Kante, Youssou N'Dour, Plastic Bertrand, Demis Roussos, Secret Service, Umberto Tozzi, Vangelis, Yello plus Alphabeat, Ida Corr og Junior Senior.
In which Robert & Amy discuss war, peace, heroes, spies, leadership, anti-natalism, and life. Also, Vangelis, Xena, Star Trek (DS9), and Happy Piano Day ... the 88th day of the year!

Numéro spécial en mémoire d'Anne Gaëlle RUMIN. La voix de MONNAIE DE SINGE s'est éteinte le 20 février alors que le groupe préparait l'enregistrement de son prochain album. Anne Gaëlle n'avait que 44 ans. Elle était la chanteuse du groupe depuis 10 ans. Je ne la connaissais pas personnellement mais divers témoignages de ses proches donnent un aperçu de son caractère. Lumineuse, solaire, à l'inverse du propos de ce concept album qu'est "The Story Of Rose Ola Seks". On devine alors en se replongeant dans cet opus les capacités hors pairs d'interprétation d'Anne Gaëlle, son adaptation parfaite au contexte de l'histoire. J'avais été complètement subjugué par cet album et bien sur par la voix de sa chanteuse. Je conserve précieusement le CD dédicacé des membres groupe et mes pensées sont bien sur pour les musiciens et notamment le batteur Eric Farges avec lequel nous avions pas mal échangé autour de cet album lors de sa parution, et bien entendu à la famille et aux proches d'Anne Gaëlle. Je regrette de ne pas avoir eu l'occasion de la voir sur scène, ça devait être quelque chose (je me suis rattrapé sur quelques vidéo publiées sur Youtube, mais évidemment c'est pas pareil…). En apprenant la nouvelle j'ai ressenti ce besoin de diffuser plusieurs titres de "The Story Of Rose Ola Seks" . J'en ai sélectionné trois mais je vous invite à (re)découvrir intégralement cet album construit par des gens talentueux, une belle réussite de rock progressif français made in Aurillac ! "The show must go on" comme on dit, alors j'ai tout de même des bonnes nouvelles à partager avec vous comme la sortie imminente du nouvel album de FRANCK CARDUCCI, autre monument du rock progressif français, mais dont les albums sont publiés au compte-goutte. Il faut dire que sa came à lui, c'est plutôt les concerts et d'ailleurs il repart en tournée dès le mois d'avril, en commençant par le mythique Cavern Club de Liverpool. My friends outre-manche, si j'étais vous … En attendant le 10 avril, date de sortie officielle de l'album "Sheeple", un extrait dans ce numéro. Trilogie rock fusion avec un groupe nantais encadré par deux pointures du genre. D'abord SOFT MACHINE, honorable maison fondée en 1966 notamment par l'australien Daevid Allen qu'il quittera un an plus tard pour s'exiler en France, mais je vais y revenir… Si la douce machine est toujours en état de fonctionnement, aucun membre de ses débuts n'en fait aujourd'hui partie. Ah elle en a vu passer des Robert Wyatt et autres Kevin Ayers ! Mais John Ethridge est légitime dans ses fonctions de capitaine, puisque même s'il n'était pas là au tout début, par le cumul des années de bons et loyaux services il en est celui qui y a passé le plus de temps. Et surtout il a le talent nécessaire ! Réjouissons nous qu'il ne fasse pas valoir ses droits à la retraite car un nouvel album de SOFT MACHINE vient de paraître, "Thirteen", avec toujours cette pincée exotique propre à l'école de Canterbury mais avec une touche de modernité qui rend le propos plus accessible aujourd'hui. A découvrir ! Si lors de son passage dans l'hexagone Allen avait fait des petit, ils auraient pu s'appeler .RESSAC. Bon soyons sérieux, les membres de cette formation (dont on peut être fier car ils sont nantais !) seraient plus probablement ses petit-enfants. Et de fratrie, il n'en ont, à ma connaissance, que celle de la scène. Scène de votre radio préférée notamment puisqu'ils sont venus nous rendre visite et jouer dans nos studios nantais des extrait de leur premier (alors futur) EP, c'était le 20 février et je vous invite d'ailleurs à suivre ce lien du SUN MUSIC ADDICT. C'était génial, je sais j'y étais ! Leur EP sort enfin demain et un extrait vous est proposé en avant première dans ce numéro (une version live avait déjà été publiée). Et comme il se doit une release party est organisée par le groupe au "Fleurs du Malt" à Nantes ce vendredi (15 bis allée du Cdt Charcot). Un rock fusion efficace, accessible et franchement une belle découverte pour Amarok ! Et pour boucler la boucle avec notre dénominateur commun Daevid Allen, lequel après avoir formé Soft Machine en 1966 s'est exilé en France dès 1967 (ayant donc accessoirement semé ses graines en passant par Nantes ! ) et y a co-fondé à Paris le fameux GONG, groupe international (mais en appliquant le droit du sol, de fait français ! ) groupe qui fera son deuil du grand Daevid en 2015. Or le hasard calendaire nous apporte le même jour de sortie l'album de Soft Machine et celui de Gong, également dépourvu de ses créateurs mais dont l'héritage est tout autant respectable. Extrait de cet album intitulé "Bright Spirit" dans ce numéro. Ceci est très subjectif, mais l'un de mes disques préférés de rock progressif du début des 70's est grec et est intitulé "666". Je ne sais pas comment l'expliquer mais j'ai un attachement particulier pour ce 3ème et ultime opus d'APHRODITE'S CHILD sorti en 1972. Né dans le cerveau de génie de Vangelis, voilà un double album conceptuel qui va l'éloigner de ses collègues et précipiter le split avec pour conséquences terribles l'entrée de Demis Roussos dans le monde de la variété, quelle perte vocale pour nous les progueux ! Autre conflit dans les 70's durant l'enregistrement de l'album "Selling England By The Pound", le petit désaccord entre certains membres de GENESIS concernant l'inclusion de l'instrumental "After The Ordeal". Leçon de guitare classique (cordes nylon gravées pour la1ère fois dans le groupe) par le jeune Steve Hackett (qui semble en être le principal compositeur même si l'ensemble des membres partage les crédits des titres de l'album). Mais ce n'était pas gagné, Tony Banks et Peter Gabriel auraient préféré exclure ce morceau, prémices de différents artistiques qui quelques années plus tard déclencheront le départ du guitariste virtuose. Mais cette petite victoire de Steve est un grand bonheur pour nos cages à miel ! Retour en territoire hellénique avec un duo fort original et créatif : VOODOO DRUMMER. Créé par Chris Koustogiannis et rejoint par Stavros Parginos, un premier album est sorti l'année dernière reprenant l'ensemble des singles disséminés ces dernières années et que j'ai d'ailleurs eu plaisir à partager avec vous, notamment la découverte incroyable de leur version de "Set The Control For The Heart Of The Sun" du Pink Floyd des débuts. Ils reviennent aujourd'hui avec une nouvelle idée originale cette fois-ci inspirée (très librement ! ) du génial Tom Waits. Nouveau single à découvrir dans ce numéro. Et puis remontée temporelle en 1969 avec le plus vieux titre de ce numéro attribué à FAMILY. Un extrait de leur 2ème album "Family Entertainment", juste avant un changement de personnel et le plaisir de retrouver la voix inimitable de Roger Chapman. Un certain Mike Oldfield ne s'y était d'ailleurs pas trompé en l'invitant sur son album "Crises" en 1983. Pour l'anecdote, c'est dans ce contexte que jeune (oui je l'ai été un jour ou eux…) j'ai entendu cette voix rocailleuse pour la première fois. Wouah ! Le titre concerné "Shadow O The Wall" avait d'ailleurs bien fonctionné...hors France car nous étions, pauvre de nous, restés bloqués sur "Moonlight Shadow"...

La reciente polémica en torno a Felipe VI ha vuelto a poner sobre la mesa el debate sobre la presencia española en América y su interpretación histórica. Desde una posición equilibrada, es posible reconocer que existieron abusos y episodios de violencia, como en cualquier proceso de expansión de la Edad Moderna, sin aceptar la idea de un exterminio sistemático. Frente a ciertas lecturas simplificadoras, conviene recordar que los territorios americanos fueron organizados como virreinatos integrados en la Monarquía Hispánica, donde se desarrollaron instituciones, universidades, ciudades y un marco jurídico que dejó una huella profunda y duradera. En este sentido, el legado cultural, lingüístico y civilizatorio de España en América resulta, sin duda, uno de los más relevantes de la historia. En este contexto, las palabras del monarca pueden interpretarse como ajustadas a una visión compleja y matizada del pasado, alejada tanto de la idealización acrítica como de la condena absoluta. Las críticas que han surgido, entre ellas desde sectores próximos a Claudia Sheinbaum, reflejan una confrontación de relatos históricos: por un lado, corrientes que tienden a una visión edulcorada —a veces denominada leyenda rosa—, y por otro, posturas nacionalistas e indigenistas que recurren a una interpretación fuertemente influida por la llamada leyenda negra, ampliamente difundida en su día por potencias rivales de España. Más allá del cruce político, la controversia evidencia cómo la historia sigue siendo un campo de disputa ideológica en el presente. Para hablar de todo eso hoy contamos en Imagen por la Historia con Javier Santamarta, divulgador histórico y escritor, responsable directo de las Jornadas de la Leyenda Negra de San Lorenzo del Escorial y con Alberto Bravo, historiador e investigador de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid especialista en el reinado de Carlos II y el cambio dinástico.

In this episode of the show we are transitioning from discussing 80's fantasy to our February deep dive into 80's dystopian science-fiction. And you couldn't really ask for a better movie to kick off this series than the Ridley Scott-directed Blade Runner. Over the course of our conversation, which was just as ethereal and meandering as the movie itself, you will hear us talk about the many troubles this iconic cult classic faced when released, how the movie stacks up against the book, and where it brings novel material to the table. We also discuss Harrison Ford as a noir detective who wonders if he is real, Rutger Hauer as a haunting presence, the perils of listening to Vangelis while falling asleep and also how the movie prompted some of us to question the fabric of reality and wonder if we are all replicants after all.

This week, we review Blade Runner (1982), Ridley Scott's neo-noir sci-fi masterpiece that redefined the genre. Harrison Ford stars as Rick Deckard, a weary “blade runner” tasked with hunting down rogue replicants in a dystopian Los Angeles. With a haunting score by Vangelis, groundbreaking visual design, and existential themes at its core, the film explores what it really means to be human.Is empathy a glitch in the code or the essence of the soul?

https://bbvproductions.co.uk/products/Faction-Paradox-The-Confession-of-Brother-Signet-AUDIO-DOWNLOAD-p389922366 The first season of the American science fiction horror drama television series Stranger Things premiered worldwide on the streaming service Netflix on July 15, 2016. The series was created by the Duffer Brothers, who also serve as executive producers along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. This season stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp, Joe Keery, and Shannon Purser in recurring roles. The first season of Stranger Things received critical acclaim, in particular for its originality, homages to the 1980s, characterization, tone, visuals, and performances (particularly those of Ryder, Harbour, Wolfhard, Brown, Heaton and Modine). Premise The first season begins on November 6, 1983, in a small town called Hawkins. Researchers at Hawkins National Laboratory open a rift to the "Upside Down," an alternate dimension that reflects the real world. A monstrous humanoid creature escapes and abducts a boy named Will Byers and a teenage girl. Will's mother, Joyce, and the town's police chief, Jim Hopper, search for Will. At the same time, a young psychokinetic girl who goes by the name "Eleven" escapes from the laboratory and assists Will's friends, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair, in their efforts to find Will.[1] Cast and characters See also: List of Stranger Things characters Main cast Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers[2] David Harbour as Jim Hopper[2] Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler[3] Millie Bobby Brown[3] as Eleven ("El") Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson[3] Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair[3] Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler[3] Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers[3][4][5] Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler[6] Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner[7] Recurring Noah Schnapp as Will Byers Joe Keery as Steve Harrington Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland[8] Joe Chrest as Ted Wheeler Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers[9] Rob Morgan as Officer Powell John Paul Reynolds as Officer Callahan Randy Havens as Scott Clarke Catherine Dyer as Connie Frazier Aimee Mullins as Terry Ives[10] Amy Seimetz as Becky Ives Peyton Wich as Troy[11] Tony Vaughn as Principal Coleman Charles Lawlor as Mr. Melvald Tinsley and Anniston Price as Holly Wheeler Cade Jones as James Chester Rushing as Tommy H.

The following day, Will's single mother Joyce Byers reports his disappearance to the police chief Jim Hopper, who starts a search but assures Joyce that almost all missing children are quickly found. The lab's director, Dr. Martin Brenner, investigates an organic substance oozing from the lab's basement, claiming that "the girl" cannot have gone far. A nervous young girl wearing a hospital gown wanders into a local diner. The owner, Benny, finds a tattoo of "011" on her arm and learns that her name is Eleven. Brenner, monitoring the phone lines, sends agents to the diner after Benny calls social services. The agents kill Benny, but Eleven manages to escape using telekinetic abilities. Joyce's phone short circuits after receiving a mysterious phone call that she believes is from Will. While searching for Will in the woods, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas come across Eleven. 2 2 "Chapter Two: The Weirdo on Maple Street" The Duffer Brothers The Duffer Brothers July 15, 2016 The boys bring Eleven to Mike's house, where they disagree on what to do. Mike formulates a plan for Eleven to pretend to be a runaway and seek help from his mother, Karen. Eleven refuses, however, revealing that "bad men" are after her. Will's brother Jonathan visits his estranged father Lonnie in Indianapolis to search for Will, but Lonnie rebuffs him. Hopper's search party discovers a scrap of hospital gown near the lab. After recognizing Will in a photograph and demonstrating her telekinesis, Eleven convinces the boys to trust her, as they believe she can find Will. Using the Dungeons & Dragons board, Eleven indicates that Will is on the "Upside Down" side of the board and is being hunted by the "Demogorgon" (the creature). Mike's sister Nancy and her friend Barbara 'Barb' Holland go to a party with Nancy's boyfriend Steve Harrington. Searching for Will near Steve's house, Jonathan secretly photographs the party. Joyce receives another call from Will, hears music playing from his stereo, and sees a creature coming through the wall. Left alone by the swimming pool, Barb is attacked by the Demogorgon and vanishes. 3 3 "Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly" Shawn Levy Jessica Mecklenburg July 15, 2016 Barb awakens in the Upside Down: a decaying, overgrown alternate dimension. She attempts to escape but is attacked by the Demogorgon. Joyce believes Will is communicating through pulses in light bulbs. Hopper visits Hawkins Lab, and the staff permits him to view doctored security footage from the night Will vanished, leading Hopper to investigate Brenner and discover his involvement with Project MKUltra and that a woman named Terry Ives alleged years earlier that Brenner took her daughter. Eleven recalls Brenner, whom she calls "Papa," punishing her for refusing to hurt a cat telekinetically. Steve destroys Jonathan's camera after discovering the photos from the party. Nancy later recovers a photo of Barb, simultaneously realizing that Barb is missing. Returning to Steve's house to investigate, Nancy finds Barb's untouched Volkswagen and encounters the Demogorgon but manages to escape. Joyce paints an alphabetic board on her wall with Christmas lights, allowing Will to sign to her that he is "RIGHT HERE" and that she needs to "RUN" as the Demogorgon comes through the wall. Believing Eleven knows where Will is, the boys ask her to lead them to him. Eleven leads them, to their frustration, to Will's house. From there they follow emergency vehicles to a nearby quarry just as Will's body is recovered from the water. 4 4 "Chapter Four: The Body" Shawn Levy Justin Doble July 15, 2016 Joyce refuses to believe that the body found at the quarry is Will's. Mike feels betrayed by Eleven until she proves that Will is still alive, channeling his voice through Mike's walkie-talkie. The boys theorize that Eleven could use a ham radio at their school to communicate with Will. Nancy notices a figure behind Barb in Jonathan's photo, which Jonathan realizes matches his mother's description of the Demogorgon. Nancy tells the police about Barb's disappearance. She later fights with Steve, who only cares about not getting in trouble with his father. Hopper has suspicions regarding the authenticity of the body found in the quarry when he learns that the usual coroner was sent home. Hopper confronts the state trooper who found it and beats him until he admits he was ordered to lie. The boys sneak Eleven into their school to use the radio, while Joyce hears Will's voice through her living room wall. Tearing away the wallpaper, she sees him. Eleven uses the radio to channel Will talking to his mother. Hopper goes to the morgue and finds that the body is a fake, and, suspecting that Brenner is responsible, breaks into the lab. 5 5 "Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat" The Duffer Brothers Alison Tatlock July 15, 2016 Hopper searches the lab before being knocked out by the lab's guards. The boys ask their science teacher, Mr. Clarke, if it would be possible to travel between alternate dimensions, to which he answers that there could be a theoretical "gate" between dimensions. Hopper awakens at his house and finds a hidden microphone, realizing that Joyce was right the whole time. The boys follow their compasses, searching for a gate that could disrupt the Earth's electromagnetic field. Eleven recalls memories of being placed in a sensory-deprivation tank to telepathically eavesdrop on a man speaking Russian; while listening, she came across the Demogorgon. Fearing another encounter with the Demogorgon, Eleven redirects the compasses. Lucas misinterprets this as an act of betrayal, leading Mike and Lucas to fight and Eleven to telekinetically fling Lucas away from Mike. While Dustin and Mike tend to the unconscious Lucas, Eleven runs off. Nancy and Jonathan formulate a plan to kill the Demogorgon. While searching in the woods, they come across a small gate to the Upside Down. Nancy crawls through it but inadvertently draws the Demogorgon's attention. Jonathan unsuccessfully tries to look for Nancy, as the gate to the Upside Down begins to close. 6 6 "Chapter Six: The Monster" The Duffer Brothers Jessie Nickson-Lopez July 15, 2016 Jonathan pulls Nancy back through the gate. That night, Nancy is afraid to be alone and asks Jonathan to stay in her bedroom. Steve, attempting to reconcile with Nancy, sees them together through her bedroom window and assumes they are dating. Joyce and Hopper track down Terry Ives, who is catatonic and tended by her sister Becky. Becky explains that Terry was a Project MKUltra participant while unknowingly pregnant and that Terry believes Brenner kidnapped her daughter Jane at birth due to her supposed telekinetic and telepathic abilities. Nancy and Jonathan stockpile weapons to kill the Demogorgon, theorizing that it is attracted by blood. Steve is brutally beaten up in a fistfight with Jonathan after he insults Will and calls Nancy a slut. Jonathan is arrested and held at the police station for beating up Steve and inadvertently punching one of the responding officers in the face. Eleven walks into a grocery store and shoplifts several boxes of Eggo waffles. Searching for Eleven, Mike and Dustin are ambushed by two bullies but are rescued by her, as she uses her powers to break one bully's arm after he attempts to kill Mike. Eleven collapses and recalls being asked by Brenner to contact the Demogorgon and, in her terror, inadvertently opening the gate. She tearfully admits to Mike that she is responsible for allowing the Demogorgon to enter this dimension. Lucas sees agents, who have tracked down Eleven, preparing to ambush Mike's house. 7 7 "Chapter Seven: The Bathtub" The Duffer Brothers Justin Doble July 15, 2016 Lucas warns Mike that agents are searching for Eleven. Mike, Dustin, and Eleven flee the house. Eleven telekinetically flips one of the vans that block their path as the kids escape. Lucas reconciles with Mike and Eleven, and the kids hide in the junkyard. Nancy and Jonathan reveal their knowledge of the Demogorgon to Joyce and Hopper. Hopper also learns that Eleven is with the kids. The group contacts the kids, and everyone meets at the Byers' house. Joyce and Hopper realize that Eleven is Jane Ives. The group asks Eleven to search for Will and Barb telepathically, but her earlier feats have weakened her. They break into the middle school and build a makeshift sensory deprivation tank to amplify Eleven's powers. After telepathically entering the Upside Down again, Eleven finds Barb dead and Will alive, hiding in the Upside Down version of his backyard fort. Realizing that the gate is in the basement of the lab, Hopper and Joyce break into the lab and are apprehended by security guards. Nancy and Jonathan sneak into the police station to retrieve the weapons they purchased previously, planning to lure and kill the Demogorgon. In the Upside Down, the Demogorgon breaks into Will's fort. 8 8 "Chapter Eight: The Upside Down" The Duffer Brothers Story by : Paul Dichter Teleplay by : The Duffer Brothers July 15, 2016 Hopper, haunted by the death of his daughter Sara from cancer years earlier, gives up Eleven's location to Brenner, who in exchange allows Hopper and Joyce to enter the Upside Down to rescue Will. Nancy and Jonathan cut their hands to attract the Demogorgon at the Byers' house. Steve, intending to apologize to Jonathan about their fight, arrives just as the Demogorgon appears. Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan fight the Demogorgon and light it on fire, forcing it to retreat to the Upside Down. Meanwhile, Eleven and the boys hide in the middle school when Brenner and his agents arrive to kidnap Eleven; she kills most of them before collapsing from exhaustion. As Brenner and his remaining agents pin Eleven and the boys down, the Demogorgon appears, attracted by the dead agents' blood, and attacks Brenner and the remaining agents as the boys escape with Eleven. Hopper and Joyce enter the Upside Down's version of the Hawkins library, where they encounter several corpses of the Demogorgon's victims, including Barb, and find Will unconscious with a tendril down his throat. Hopper revives him using CPR after removing the tendril. The Demogorgon corners the kids, but Eleven recovers from her exhaustion and disintegrates it, causing them both to disappear. Will recovers in the hospital, reuniting with his family and friends. One month later, it is Christmas and Nancy is back together with Steve, and both are friends with Jonathan. Will coughs up a slug-like creature and has a vision of the Upside Down, but hides this from his family. Production Development Ross (left) and Matt Duffer, the creators of the series Stranger Things was created by Matt and Ross Duffer, known professionally as the Duffer Brothers.[12] The two had completed writing and producing their 2015 film Hidden, which they had tried to emulate the style of M. Night Shyamalan, however, due to changes at Warner Bros., its distributor, the film did not see a wide release and the Duffers were unsure of their future.[13] To their surprise, television producer Donald De Line approached them, impressed with Hidden's script, and offered them the opportunity to work on episodes of Wayward Pines alongside Shyamalan. The brothers were mentored by Shyamalan during the episode's production so that when they finished, they felt they were ready to produce their own television series.[14] The Duffer Brothers prepared a script that would essentially be similar to the series' actual pilot episode, along with a 20-page pitch book to help shop the series around for a network.[15] They pitched the story to a number of cable networks, all of which rejected the script on the basis that they felt a plot centered around children as leading characters would not work, asking them to make it a children's show or to drop the children and focus on Hopper's investigation in the paranormal.[14] In early 2015, Dan Cohen, the VP of 21 Laps Entertainment, brought the script to his colleague Shawn Levy. They subsequently invited The Duffer Brothers to their office and purchased the rights for the series, giving full authorship of it to the brothers. After reading the pilot, the streaming service Netflix purchased the whole season for an undisclosed amount;[16] the show was subsequently announced for a planned 2016 release by Netflix in early April 2015.[17] The Duffer Brothers stated that at the time they had pitched to Netflix, the service had already been recognized for its original programming, such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, with well-recognized producers behind them, and were ready to start giving upcoming producers like them a chance.[15] The brothers started to write out the series and brought Levy and Cohen in as executive producers to start casting and filming.[18] The series was originally known as Montauk, as the setting of the script was in Montauk, New York and nearby Long Beach locations.[17][19] The brothers had chosen Montauk as it had further Spielberg ties with the film Jaws, where Montauk was used for the fictional setting of Amity Island.[20] After deciding to change the narrative of the series to take place in the fictional town of Hawkins instead, the brothers felt they could now do things to the town, such as placing it under quarantine, that they really could not envision with a real location.[20] With the change in location, they had to come up with a new title for the series under the direction from Netflix's Ted Sarandos so that they could start marketing it to the public. The brothers started by using a copy of Stephen King's Firestarter novel to consider the title's font and appearance and came up with a long list of potential alternatives. Stranger Things came about as it sounded similar to another King novel, Needful Things, though Matt noted they still had a "lot of heated arguments" over this final title.[21] Writing The idea of Stranger Things started with how the brothers felt they could take the concept of the 2013 film Prisoners, detailing the moral struggles a father goes through when his daughter is kidnapped, and expand it out over eight or so hours in a serialized television approach. As they focused on the missing child aspect of the story, they wanted to introduce the idea of "childlike sensibilities" they could offer and toyed around with the idea of a monster that could consume humans. The brothers thought the combination of these things "was the best thing ever". To introduce this monster into the narrative, they considered "bizarre experiments we had read about taking place in the Cold War" such as Project MKUltra, which gave a way to ground the monster's existence in science rather than something spiritual. This also helped them to decide on using 1983 as the time period, as it was a year before the film Red Dawn came out, which focused on Cold War paranoia.[14] Subsequently, they were able to use all their own personal inspirations from the 1980s, the decade they were born, as elements of the series,[14][22] crafting it in the realm of science fiction and horror.[23] The Duffer Brothers have cited as influence for the show (among others): Stephen King novels; films produced by Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro; films such as Alien and Stand by Me; Japanese anime such as Akira and Elfen Lied; and video games such as Silent Hill and The Last of Us.[21][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] With Netflix as the platform, The Duffer Brothers were not limited to a typical 22-episode format, opting for the eight-episode approach. They had been concerned that a 22-episode season on broadcast television would be difficult to "tell a cinematic story" with that many episodes. Eight episodes allowed them to give time to characterization in addition to narrative development; if they had less time available, they would have had to remain committed to telling a horror film as soon as the monster was introduced and abandon the characterization.[15] Within the eight episodes, the brothers aimed to make the first season "feel like a big movie" with all the major plot lines completed so that "the audience feels satisfied", but left enough unresolved to indicate "there's a bigger mythology, and there's a lot of dangling threads at the end", something that could be explored in further seasons if Netflix opted to create more.[32] While explaining their intentions for the show, the Duffers adamantly stated their intentions to not explain the mythology in the show so they could leave a mystery and lot for the audience to speculate over their lack of understanding by the season finale, which they accepted but asked to be explained about at the very least, which they found like a really good exercise as they spent quite a bit of time with their writers' room figuring out exactly what the Upside Down would actually consist for, writing a 20-page mythology document whose details wouldn't be clarified for the audience until the show's fifth and final season.[33] Regarding writing for the children characters of the series, The Duffer Brothers considered themselves as outcasts from other students while in high school and thus found it easy to write for Mike Wheeler and his friends, and particularly for Barbara "Barb" Holland.[21] Joyce Byers was fashioned after Richard Dreyfuss's character Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as she appears "absolutely bonkers" to everyone else as she tries to find her son Will Byers.[34] Other characters, such as Billy in the second season, have more villainous attributes that are not necessarily obvious from the onset; Matt explained that they took further inspiration from Stephen King for these characters, as King "always has really great human villains" that may be more malicious than the supernatural evil.[35] Casting The Duffers cast David Harbour as Sheriff Hopper believing this was his opportunity to play a lead character in a work. In June 2015, it was announced that Winona Ryder and David Harbour had joined the series as Joyce and as the unnamed chief of police, respectively.[2] The brothers' casting director Carmen Cuba had suggested Ryder for the role of Joyce, which the two were immediately drawn to because of her prominence in 1980s films.[14] Levy believed Ryder could "wretch up the emotional urgency and yet find layers and nuance and different sides of [Joyce]". Ryder praised that the show's multiple storylines required her to act for Joyce as "she's out of her mind, but she's actually kind of onto something", and that the producers had faith she could pull off the difficult role.[36] Upon being offered the role, Ryder felt intrigued at being given the pilot's script due to know knowing what streaming was and finding it "terrifying", with her sole condition to the Duffers for accepting the role being that, if a Beetlejuice sequel ever materialized as she and Tim Burton had been discussing since 2000, they had to let her take a break to shoot it, a condition the Duffers agreed and ultimately proved to work out when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was greenlighted years later.[37] The Duffer Brothers had been interested in Harbour before, who until Stranger Things primarily had smaller roles as villainous characters, and they felt that he had been "waiting too long for this opportunity" to play a lead, while Harbour himself was thrilled by the script and the chance to play "a broken, flawed, anti-hero character".[21][38] Additional casting followed two months later with Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Millie Bobby Brown in an undisclosed role, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers]].[3] In September 2015, Cara Buono joined the cast as Karen Wheeler,[6] followed by Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner a month later.[7] Additional cast who recur for the first season include Noah Schnapp as Will,[3][5] Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland,[8] Joe Keery as Steve Harrington,[39][5] and Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers,[9] among others. Actors auditioning for the children's roles read lines from Stand By Me.[14] The Duffer Brothers estimated they went through about a thousand different child actors for the roles. They noted that Wolfhard was already "a movie buff" of the films from the 1980s period and easily filled the role, while they found Matarazzo's audition to be much more authentic than most of the other audition tapes, and selected him after a single viewing of his audition tape.[15] As casting was started immediately after Netflix greenlit the show, and prior to the scripts being fully completed, this allowed some of the actors' takes on the roles to reflect into the script. The casting of the young actors for Will and his friends had been done just after the first script was completed, and subsequent scripts incorporated aspects from these actors.[32] The brothers said Modine provided significant input on the character of Dr. Brenner, whom they had not really fleshed out before as they considered him the hardest character to write for given his limited appearances within the narrative.[34] Filming The brothers had desired to film the series around the Long Island area to match the initial Montauk concept. However, with filming scheduled to take place in November 2015, it was difficult to shoot in Long Island in the cold weather, and the production started scouting locations in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area. The brothers, who grew up in North Carolina, found many places that reminded them of their own childhoods in that area, and felt the area would work well with the narrative shift to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[20] The filming of the first season began on September 25, 2015, and was extensively done in Atlanta, Georgia, with The Duffer Brothers and Levy handling the direction of individual episodes.[40] Jackson served as the basis of the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[41][42] Other shooting locations included the Georgia Mental Health Institute as the Hawkins National Laboratory site, Bellwood Quarry, Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge, Georgia, for the middle and high school scenes,[43] Emory University's Continuing Education Department, the former city hall in Douglasville, Georgia, Georgia International Horse Park, the probate court in Butts County, Georgia, Old East Point Library and East Point First Baptist Church in East Point, Georgia, Fayetteville, Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, Palmetto, Georgia, and Winston, Georgia.[44] Set work was done at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.[44] The series was filmed with a Red Dragon digital camera.[34] Filming for the first season concluded in early 2016.[41] While filming, the brothers tried to capture shots that could be seen as homages to many of the 1980s references they recalled. Their goal was not necessarily to fill the work with these references, but instead to make the series seem to the viewer like a 1980s film.[21] They spent little time reviewing those works and instead went by memory. Matt further recognized that some of their filming homages were not purposely done but were found to be very comparable, as highlighted by a fan-made video comparing the show to several 1980s works side by side.[14][45] Matt commented on the video that "Some were deliberate and some were subconscious."[14] The brothers recognized that many of the iconic scenes from these 1980s films, such as with Poltergeist, was about "taking a very ordinary object that people deal with every day, their television set, and imbuing it with something otherworldly", leading to the idea of using the Christmas light strings for Will to communicate with Joyce.[21] The brothers attributed much of the 1980s feel to set and costume designers and the soundtrack composers that helped to recreate the era for them.[14] Lynda Reiss, the head of props, had about a $220,000 budget, similar to most films, to acquire artifacts of the 1980s, using eBay and searching through flea markets and estate sales around the Atlanta area. The bulk of the props were original items from the 1980s with only a few pieces, such as the Dungeons & Dragons books made as replicas.[46] Visual effects To create the aged effect for the series, a film grain was added over the footage, which was captured by scanning in film stock from the 1980s.[34] The Duffers wanted to scare the audience, but not to necessarily make the show violent or gory, following in line with how the 1980s Amblin Entertainment films drove the creation of the PG-13 movie rating. It was "much more about mood and atmosphere and suspense and dread than they are about gore", though they were not afraid to push into more scary elements, particularly towards the end of the first season.[34] The brothers had wanted to avoid any computer-generated effects for the monster and other parts of the series and stay with practical effects. However, the six-month filming time left them little time to plan out and test practical effects rigs for some of the shots. They went with a middle ground of using constructed props including one for the monster whenever they could, but for other shots, such as when the monster bursts through a wall, they opted to use digital effects. Post-production on the first season was completed the week before it was released on Netflix.[14] The title sequence uses closeups of the letters in the Stranger Things title with a red tint against a black background as they slide into place within the title. The sequence was created by the studio Imaginary Forces, formerly part of R/GA, led by creative director Michelle Doughtey.[47] Levy introduced the studio to The Duffer Brothers, who explained their vision of the 1980s-inspired show, which helped the studio to fix the concept the producers wanted. Later, but prior to filming, the producers sent Imaginary Forces the pilot script, the synth-heavy background music for the titles, as well as the various book covers from King and other authors that they had used to establish the title and imagery, and were looking for a similar approach for the show's titles, primarily using a typographical sequence. They took inspiration from several title sequences of works from the 1980s that were previously designed by Richard Greenberg under R/GA, such as Altered States and The Dead Zone. They also got input from Dan Perri, who worked on the title credits of several 1980s films. Various iterations included having letters vanish, to reflect the "missing" theme of the show, and having letters cast shadows on others, alluding to the mysteries, before settling into the sliding letters. The studio began working on the title sequence before filming and took about a month off during the filming process to let the producers get immersed in the show and come back with more input. Initially, they had been working with various fonts for the title and used close-ups of the best features of these fonts, but near the end the producers wanted to work with ITC Benguiat, requiring them to rework those shots. The final sequence is fully computer-generated, but they took inspiration from testing some practical effects, such as using Kodalith masks as would have been done in the 1980s, to develop the appropriate filters for the rendering software. The individual episode title cards used a "fly-through" approach, similar to the film Bullitt, which the producers had suggested to the studio.[48] Music Main articles: Music of Stranger Things and Stranger Things (soundtrack) The Stranger Things original soundtrack was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the electronic band Survive.[49] It makes extensive use of synthesizers in homage to 1980s artists and film composers including Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Goblin, John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, and Fabio Frizzi.[50] According to Stein and Dixon, The Duffer Brothers had been fans of Survive's music, and used their song "Dirge" for the mock trailer that was used to sell the show to Netflix.[49][51] Once the show was green-lit, the Duffers contacted Survive around July 2015 to ask if they were still doing music; the two provided the production team with dozens of songs from their band's past to gain their interest, helping to land them the role.[49] Once aboard, the two worked with producers to select some of their older music to rework for the show, while developing new music, principally with character motifs.[51] The two had been hired before the casting process, so their motif demos were used and played over the actors' audition tapes, aiding in the casting selection.[51][52] The show's theme is based on an unused work Stein composed much earlier that ended up in the library of work they shared with the production staff, who thought that with some reworking would be good for the opening credits.[49] The first season's original soundtrack, consisting of 75 songs from Dixon and Stein split across two volumes, was released by Lakeshore Records. Digital release and streaming options were released on August 10 and 19, 2016 for the two volumes, respectively, while retail versions were available on September 16 and 23, 2016.[53][54] In addition to original music, Stranger Things features period music from artists including The Clash, Toto, New Order, The Bangles, Foreigner, Echo and the Bunnymen, Peter Gabriel and Corey Hart, as well as excerpts from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter and Vangelis.[54][55] In particular, The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was specifically picked to play at pivotal moments of the story, such as when Will is trying to communicate with Joyce from the Upside Down.[54] Music supervisor Nora Felder felt the song "furthered the story" and called it an additional, unseen, main character of the season.[56]
2025 Show Notes addendum: In light of the release of C1E100 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 1), I thought it would also be good to release C2E20 (the final "non-retrospective" Ch 2) as a nice tie-in. Though my production quality has improved somewhat since late 2024, it is nowhere even remotely close to the quantum leap that is the difference between my Dec 2025 and my Jan 2017 production quality difference with C1E1. Channel 2 was a COMPLETELY different kind of show, though. Rather than being a vaguely NPR-esque mixtape-style program that was "less a podcast per se" and more "a late nite FM radio music program which just so happened to go out over the podosphere", Ch 2 was a "proper podcast" with a co-host out of Chicago and myself taking turns sharing tracks and talking about them. We wrapped the show at the end of 2024 because my co-host had been podcasting since 2009, and would be turning 50 in 2025, and so he decided at the end of 2023 that he would be retiring completely from podcasting at the end of 2024, and I didn't feel like replacing him, so we just wrapped it together. Anyway, since we referenced C2E20 and even featured a few tracks from it in C1E100, and since we're rerunning C1E1, I figured I'd rerun this too. By the way: that one upcoming Ch F one-off with Trey Johnson of NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio will be in this exact format - only, obviously, a different co-host. Anyway....enjoy! Also, this rerun will release on Christmas Eve. So, Merry Christmas to anyone who celebrates it - and a belated Happy Hannukah to anyone who celebrates it instead (I celebrate both, myself!) :-D ------------------------------------------------------ orig show notes Today's Broadcast is C2E20, for Theme Thursday, Oct 24th, 2024. All good things must come to an end. Today is the final “regular” (as in, “final non-retrospective” episode - and as opposed to “final all time” episode). This will be the final episode where we bring new tracks to the show, though. So it is still an ending.

This mix started via a Spotify playlist with the same name - "You're in an 80s Film Driving at Night." I really liked the synth vibes so I created my own folder at home and began collecting tracks. The mix has a great retro vibe even though many of the tracks are from the last 10 years. But, of course, I had to include some cuts from the time period with songs from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter & Vangelis. Hop in your Delorean and head back to the 1980s for some retro electronic goodness. Cheers!

In this episode, I sit down with Vangelis (an investor from Greece) to unpack his first year of investing.We talk about:Why money is taboo and how the 1999 stock market crash still shapes how people see investing today.From grandparents teaching him delayed gratification to saving for years to buy his first PS3 and how those habits set the stage for his future.How Vangelis moved from saving → gambling in crypto → finally building a disciplined ETF-based portfolio.Why training in the gym and investing share the same formula: discipline, patience, and avoiding shortcuts.His story proves that even if you grow up in a culture where money isn't talked about, you can rewrite the script.What did you think of the episode?

On this episode we dive deep into the musical history of one of Italy's most fascinating and forward-thinking bands - Krisma (or Chrisma as they were originally known). This husband and wife duo from Milan created music that was light years ahead of its time, with their 1977 album "Chinese Restaurant" laying the groundwork for sounds that wouldn't become mainstream until decades later. We explore how this band went from Italian pop stardom to experimental post-punk pioneers, working with the likes of Hans Zimmer and Vangelis along the way. We chat about their various musical reinventions, that time Maurizio allegedly cut his finger off on stage (or did he?), and how their track "Miami" sounds remarkably like Radiohead's Kid A... except it was released 23 years earlier! From performing with The Beatles to mingling in Andy Warhol's circle, Krisma's story is as fascinating as their music is innovative. So grab a cuppa, settle in, and let us introduce you to your new favourite obscure band.

This week is the seventh volume of our deep dive into the trippy and groovy beginnings of the heavy stuff! Cut your lava lamp on, gaze at that blacklight poster through the haze of smoke, and join your favorite rock n' roll grave robbers as they dig deep into the core of 70s Acid Rock n' Proto Metal crypt to unearth some obscure bands that helped influence and mold what would become known as Heavy Metal. What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This particular episode is planted firmly in the: LOST category, as all of these recordings occurred between 1970 – 1976. As always, our hope is that we turn you on to something new in a genre and decade that you may have thought you already knew everything there was to know.Songs this week include:Agnes Strange - “Messin' Around” from Strange Flavour (1975)Socrates Drank The Conium - “Death Is Going To Die” from On The Wings (1973)Piraña - “Thinking Of You” from Pirana II (1972)Zior - “I Really Do” from Zior (1971)November - “Ganska Långt Från Sergel” from 2:a November (1971)The Power Of Zeus - “It Couldn't Be Me” from The Gospel According To Zeus (1970)Wicked Lester - “She” from Wicked Lester (1972)El Ritual documentary in Spanish on YouTube from 2022 https://youtu.be/K1xz6R9nH3k?si=Gd6I90SC19ZkOLWmPlease subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uIf you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/Check out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/
Another electronic gem from Erwin Broers. He has become my go to guy for berlin-school music and I'm totally here for it. I've said many times that I like hosting guest mixes from artists and listeners because I always discover new music. And this set is a perfect example - other than Ron Boots, every artist in this mix is new to me. Here's what Erwin has to say about this mix: "The theme this time is "Electronic Gems From The Lowlands", the lowlands being Belgium and the Netherlands. Both countries are neighbours of Germany, where Electronic Music took off in the early 1970s. It was therefore inevitable that many local progressive artists became fascinated by synthesizers and inspired by this new genre known as "Kosmische Musik" (cosmic music). Influence of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze is obvious, but there's also a hint at prog rock and a few tracks come close to melodic synth pop similar to Vangelis and Jean Michel Jarre." Thanks for a great set, Erwin! Cheers!

MONSTER PARTY HAS A SONG IN ITS HEART. NOW WE'LL NEVER GET IT BACK IN ITS JAR! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, get their toes a tappin' for this monstrous music festival of an episode. Follow the bouncing ball as we present… SOUNDTRACKS: THE SONGS!!! Soundtracks are usually remembered for the emotion-evoking melodies that gracefully punctuate the moments of a film. There are many masters of this remarkable craft: Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, John Barry, Lalo Schifrin, Goblin, John Carpenter, Bernard Herrmann, and countless others that only James Gonis could remember. But occasionally, plopped in the middle of all this symphonic pageantry, is an actual song with lyrics that makes us wish for a Karaoke bar strictly for nerds. Get ready for a sinister sing-a-long as we chart the hits from campy sci-fi favorites like The Blob and The Green Slime, bawdy beach films, 70's and 80's horror classics, genre TV shows, classic kaiju films, the world of James Bond, Star Trek and Star Wars, an odd sampling of Jerry Lewis films, and sooooo much more! Helping us DJ this shindig of shocks is a friend of the show, who was our last in-studio guest before COVID 19 screwed everything up. He's a soundtrack journalist, editor, genre columnist, podcaster, and supervises soundtrack temp tracks for many films. He's also a really great actor! Please welcome back… DANIEL SCHWEIGER!
