Screwhead - The Sprawl v.01: Panther Moderns The idea for this mix is to make something that I would imagine the Panther Moderns from Neuromancer listen to. I've always pictured them as a sort of cross between taggers, skaters/traceurs and Anonymous; a blend of urban rebellion, hacking and electronic beats with a bit of a tribal "us against the world" mentality, and I think this mix does a good job representing the sort of vibe I've always gotten when I've read Neuromancer. >Panther Moderns Fokus + DBR UK - The Horsementality Dub Phizix + Skeptical + Strategy - Marka Icicle + SPMC - Dreadnaught Nickbee + Malk - Human Race Future Signal - Trident State of Mind - Sleepcreep Dub Phizix + Skeptical - Rags Anile + Codebreaker - Start Again Future Signal - Surveilance Heavy1 - Heavy Tone Psyborg - The All Knowing Mantis >The Message I'm gonna do a whole series of these.. short mixes of stuff that I imagine characters/groups from the Sprawl trilogy listen to or music that would be playing during a prominent scene featuring them.. Coming up next: The Sprawl v.02: Zion Cluster |

 Coolness: 166520 | Nice !
Didn't listen yet, but I assume, since it's mentioned in the book, the mix is heavy on the dub? ;) |

I've also got a rip of the book being read on tape that I'm going to put bits and pieces of the naration chopped up to give some context for those that don't know the book (and hopefully get them interested in it) what with the movie being in the works (same guy that did Cube/Splice) and apparently an open-world videogame set in the same world, as well as the rest of the trilogy being refereed to as a franchise by the director.. I think it's the perfect time :P ********** “Panther Moderns,” he said to the Hosaka, removing the trodes. “Five minute precis.” “Ready,” the computer said. It wasn’t a name he knew. Something new, something that had come in since he’d been in Chiba. Fads swept the youth of the Sprawl at the speed of light; entire subcultures could rise overnight, thrive for a dozen weeks, and then vanish utterly.“Go,” he said. The Hosaka had accessed its array of libraries, journals, and news services. The precis began with a long hold on a color still that Case at first assumed was a collage of some kind, a boy’s face snipped from another image and glued to a photograph of a paint-scrawled wall. Dark eyes, epicanthic folds obviously the result of surgery, an angry dusting of acne across pale narrow cheeks. The Hosaka released the freeze; the boy moved, flowing with the sinister grace of a mime pretending to be a jungle predator. His body was nearly invisible, an abstract pattern approximating the scribbled brickwork sliding smoothly across his tight one piece. Mimetic polycarbon.Cut to Dr. Virginia Rambali, Sociology, NYU, her name, faculty, and school pulsing across the screen in pink alphanumerics. “Given their penchant for these random acts of surreal violence,” someone said, “it may be difficult for our viewers to understand why you continue to insist that this phenomenon isn’t a form of terrorism.” Dr. Rambali smiled. “There is always a point at which the terrorist ceases to manipulate the media gestalt. A point at which the violence may well escalate, but beyond which the terrorist has become symptomatic of the media gestalt itself.Terrorism as we ordinarily understand it is innately media-related. The Panther Moderns differ from other terrorists precisely in their degree of self-consciousness, in their awareness of the extent to which media divorce the act of terrorism from the original sociopolitical intent…” “Skip it,” Case said. Case met his first Modern two days after he’d screened the Hosaka’s precis. The Moderns, he’d decided, were a contemporary version of the Big Scientists of his own late teens. There was a kind of ghostly teenage DNA at work in the Sprawl, something that carried the coded precepts of various short-lived sub cults and replicated them at odd intervals. The Panther Moderns were a soft head variant on the Scientists. If the technology had been available the Big Scientists would all have had sockets stuffed with microsofts. It was the style that mattered and the style was the same. The Moderns were mercenaries, practical jokers, nihilistic technofetishists. |
