The influence of the music from the U.S., U.K and Europe. Early days of the Techno scene in Adelaide. This is the story of a Techno Rebel who put the sound of his city - the city of Adelaide - on the world stage and in doing so, brought tangible credibility to Australian Techno music. Launched as an underground techno label in the early 90’s, Juice typified the lofty ambitions of the techno generation in both sound and deed, using the vinyl record as its medium. Whilst Juice Records is renowned for launching the career of international DJ superstar HMC (who later became the Late Nite Tuff Guy),its catalog runs deep and they are still actively releasing new music. I’m Chris Bass a music producer and renowned Spaceologist and in this special episode I talk with Techno Artist and Label Chief, DMZ aka Damien Donato. …and they’ve given me a WORLDWIDE exclusive on a new track called ‘Inifinty’ Hailed the world over and given kudos from such luminaries as Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin and Mike Banks of Underground Resistance, Juice Records has continually pushed the sonic boundaries of techno. Techno Rebels: 30 Years of Juice Records with Damien Donato. I particularly enjoyed the two-page spreads featuring a backdrop of mythological creatures, from the dragon to the goddess Mazu, and the page on which the narrator appears in front of the constellations was just gorgeous. The artwork from Dung Ho, on the other hand, is every bit as beautiful here as in the earlier book, with a lovely color palette, and wonderfully expressive depictions of the characters. Although I wouldn't say that Joanna Ho's narrative here was quite as accomplished as in her first book, it was still immensely appealing, with a poetic quality and a warm-hearted tone that was very pleasing. Having greatly enjoyed Eyes that Kiss in the Corners I picked up Eyes That Speak to the Stars with a great deal of anticipation, and I was not disappointed. When a young boy is hurt by a school friend's depiction of him, with two slanted lines as eyes, his father tells him that his eyes "rise to the skies and speak to the stars." Interacting with his father, agong (grandfather) and di-di (younger brother), the boy gains strength and appreciation for his eyes, and for the members of his family. American author Joanna Ho and Vietnamese illustrator Dung Ho, who previously collaborated on the lovely Eyes that Kiss in the Corners return in this second picture-book, once again exploring the beauty of Asian eyes, and the importance of family love and relationships.

Since she’s not willing to marry Baroka, Sadiku invites her to accept Baroka’s supper invitation to his home to commemorate the fame she gained for the town. Sidi wants Sadiku to explain why Baroka has asked for her hand now that her pictures were featured in the publication. Sadiku requests Sidi to be Baroka’s spouse. Sadiku is with them on the road that leads to and out of the town of Sidi. The next person to follow is Lankule who’s carrying a log of firewood for Sidi. Sidi is completely absorbed by the photos of her in the publication. He took several photos of the celebration including Sidi whom he was dancing with. He arranged dried clothes, and the villagers ate a meal in his honour. He persuaded the villagers to not kill him. The suspect was escorted to the town centre by a raged crowd.īaroka The chief of Illunjire felt sympathy for the stranger. The man who was following a while later, and drained the water from his clothing. The girl screamed and ran towards the village with a portion of her cloth that covered her. The camera was not focused on the spot he was standing, he searched for the ideal spot to capture many photos of the girl swimming in a pool of water. I personally like this but it's definitely not for everyone. It is also somewhat graphic for those of you with a timid stomach. As described in the notes for this book it has some very very "pitch-black" humor. I've never listened this narrator before and thought she was a bit heavy handed in her portrayal of the older women giving them an unpleasant whining tone to them. Some characters were better developed and easier to listen to than others. I'm not very familiar with Japanese names and had a hard time at the beginning deciphering one name from another. I think actually reading the names of the characters would be a little bit easier to keep track of them. This was the first Japanese book I've ever listened to. Here's some thoughts for those of you wanting to know if this was worth the listen. I saw on the website that this book was for fans of "Gone Girl", so I used a credit. His 1859 novel, A Tale of Two Cities, set in London and Paris, is his best-known work of historical fiction. Oliver Twist and Great Expectations are also frequently adapted, and, like many of his novels, evoke images of early Victorian London. His 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol, remains popular and continues to inspire adaptations in every artistic genre. Despite his lack of formal education, he edited a weekly journal for 20 years, wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles, lectured and performed extensively, was an indefatigable letter writer, and campaigned vigorously for children's rights, education, and other social reforms.ĭickens was regarded as the literary colossus of his age. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.ĭickens left school to work in a factory when his father was incarcerated in a debtors' prison. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was a writer and social critic who created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. “The idea of the world being a magical place, a mystical place, is normal ,” she is quoted as saying in the article.Īnd as I wade into the Akata series, I find myself less and less convinced about that "Nigerian Harry Potter " label. But, as Okorafor herself attests in the aforementioned Times piece, magic isn't total fantasy. In fact, I have never read Harry Potter, so take my (otherwise pretty knowledgeable) opinion with a grain of salt! To catch up, I'm reading her critically-acclaimed work, beginning with Akata Witch, the first book of her beloved Akata series, which fans often refer to as "The Nigerian Harry Potter" according to a New York Times author profile.įirst, a disclaimer: I struggle to read fantasy, especially for kids and teens. I am so excited about Nnedi Okorafor's visit to Lawrence this November! I'm a bit behind the times discovering the amazingness that is Ms. |
