não sei nada sobre o jogo, mas o trailer é bem bonito.

Porcupine Tree - The Incident
Incoming another fucking awesome Porcupine Tree album, on 14th of September.
Mininova already got it in their archives...ups :p!!
Can´t wait to see them on November 20 - Almada
Ephrat - No One's Words
Eprhat: Omar Ephrat: guitars, flute, keyboards
Lior Seker: vocals
Gili Rosenberg: bass
Tomer Z: drums
EPHRAT are a fairly young band in the world of heavy progressive music.
"Omar EPHRAT is very much aware of his Israeli band's heritage and is not afraid to use it. He acknowledges that the country is a mixture of European and Middle Eastern, old and new traditions, and this works its way into the band's music. Heavy metal riffage mingles freely with Eastern synth passages, and medieval acoustics stand toe-to-toe with techno beats. This eclectic nature is molded into a sound that reflects some of EPHRAT's favorite bands: classic progressive outfits like KING CRIMSON, JETHRO TULL and ELP; and more modern, heavier influences like PORCUPINE TREE, SOUNDGARDEN and Alanis MORISSETTE. All in all, EPHRAT is a diverse band that should appeal to anyone who likes their prog with a heavier bent."
Once more, Steven Wilson (PT), is responsable for giving light to this great project.
Enjoy

Hocus Pocus
"I don't like hip hop and it pisses me out"... fine, but, do you really really really now hip hop, isn't it like saying I don't like jazz?! I give you Hocus Pocus from France, a taste of fresh hip hop that proves hip hop isn't just about skanky bums, bitch slaps and bling bling!!! If you dig this let me know, 'cause there's more KickAss Music!
The Bad Plus - Suspicious Activity
It's not Jazz, but it's free. You'll have to listen to it to understand what I mean. Plus, this album has the funkiest version of the "theme song of the chariots of fire" ever made.

King crimson - The Power to Believe
First things first...This post was inspired by the BIF comrade that's doing Albion from one end to the other.
Prog Rock has been going for some time now. It survived the 80's and the 90's, mainly by being unnoticed and has been picked up by some new bands now, which have taken it to a new level.
King Crimson isn't one of those. It is as old school as a band can really be (being around since 1969) and to be honest, if you go to wikipedia you'll get all the information you want. 'nough said abou the band, this album is a must have for the prog fan, or just for anyone that likes good music really. Hard to listen at first if you're not a Crimson fan, but give it a go anyway. One more thing. Don't expect rock from the 70's!
A couple of songs so you know what I'm talking about. The first song has a small intro of 40 secs. It's worth the waiting

KTU - Quiver
KTU -Kimmo Pohjonen - accordion, voice
Trey Gunn - Warr guitar
Pat Mastelotto - beats, noises, rhythmic devices
"Sometimes warrior sometimes mystical, between fire and ice, in an unending horse-ride through the planes of northern Europe. Convulsive, ghostly music, capable of releasing gargula from its concrete skin - scaring, slow waltzes, improvised gothic jazz, rehearsed available funk, muscular and overwhelming."

Kronos Quartet - "Floodplain"
"Kronos' new album Floodplain features music inspired by the idea that areas prone to devastating flooding will experience creative rebirth after a catastrophe."
"For more than 30 years, the Kronos Quartet has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to expanding the range and context of the string quartet. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 40 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, collaborating with many of the world's most eclectic composers and performers, and commissioning hundreds of works and arrangements for string quartet. Kronos' work has also garnered numerous awards, including a Grammy for Best Chamber Music Performance (2004) and "Musicians of the Year" (2003) from Musical America.
In addition to composers, Kronos counts numerous artists from around the world among its collaborators, including the Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man; legendary Bollywood "playback singer" Asha Bhosle, featured on Kronos' Grammy-nominated CD, You’ve Stolen My Heart: Songs from R.D. Burman's Bollywood; Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq; Mexican rockers Café Tacuba; genre defying sound artist and instrument builder Walter Kitundu; the Romanian gypsy band Taraf de Haïdouks; renowned American soprano Dawn Upshaw; and the unbridled British cabaret trio, the Tiger Lillies. Kronos has performed live with the likes of icons Allen Ginsberg, Zakir Hussain, Modern Jazz Quartet, Tom Waits, David Barsamian, Howard Zinn, Betty Carter, and David Bowie, and has appeared on recordings by such diverse talents as Nine Inch Nails, Amon Tobin, Dan Zanes, DJ Spooky, Dave Matthews, Nelly Furtado, Rokia Traoré, Joan Armatrading and Don Walser."
