Few video games have enjoyed such a frenetic buzz around their release as the upcoming Hellgate: London, and with good reason – they haven’t had the awesome talent of former Diablo developers and executives working on an inaugural release! Now together as Flagship Studios, these formidable creative minds have developed MI5 agent Lyra Darius discovers a human charnel house in the heart of London while tailing Lord Sumerisle, the recently resigned Home Office Minister for Internal Affairs. She’s soon entangled in a bloody intrigue with Knights Templar, and everything is building up to All Hallows Eve! Establishing the raging war against invading demonic forces, Hellgate: London is a must for any fans of gaming and adventure.

The trilogy that began in Exodus continues: 2024: Four years after the Demons opened the planar rift known as the Hellgate, mankind’s desperate struggle to survive continues. Simon Cross, expatriate of the secret Templar order, works to find and transport survivors out of the ruined city. Hiding within London’s Underground system, Simon is raising an army to fight against the encroaching Darkness. Now, he battles the monsters that roam the city and fends off a jealous Knight who plans to take Simon down…all while striving to reunite the divided Templar forces. Warren Schimmer, a Cabalist who is magically linked to a powerful demon, searches for Goetia. Also known as the Lesser Key of Solomon, this ancient artifact could provide the forces of good or evil with an edge in the ongoing war. Standing in his path is Simon Cross. Warren has made a bargain with his Demon lord for survival and the promise of vengeance against the persuasive Templar…but a Demon’s promise is made to be broken.

LONDON, 2038 The once-great city lies in ruins. A massive gash in the fabric of our reality roils against the horizon as it blends into a permanently darkened sky. The world as we know it has come to an end. Demons, the visions of our nightmares, walk the Earth. Mankind, driven in retreat to the sanctuary of the Underground, struggles to survive the Hellish apocalypse. Among the survivors are those who foresaw the coming of the darkness, those who see it as an opportunity to improve the standing of man, and those who seek revenge for what was lost. All are now banding together in the shadows, arming themselves with futuristic weapons and arcane spells designed for one purpose — to battle the demonic hordes and take back their world.

As Templar Simon Cross fights to lead the hunted survivors of the demon surge toward salvation, time and supplies run short. Simon must penetrate the dark secrets of the demons — as well as those of his partner in peril, Leah Creasey — to keep his charges safe. But Leah’s organization won’t surrender their knowledge easily, even as new technology emerges from the Goetia Manuscript that could help Simon’s cause. Warren Schimmer, linked to one of the darkest of the hellspawn — the demonic Lilith — is himself also targeted by infernal forces. No longer able to hide, Warren must emerge as a leader and turn a ragged band of Cabalists into an army. But when a vicious weapon that uses dreams against the human survivors of the city draws the Templars, the Cabalists, and the Hunters into the same arena, will they join forces…or turn against one another?

Throughout the ten songs that fill the 70-plus minutes of Beta, Latin rhythms merge with glossy, techno-style synth melodies as Boeing offers seven-minute chunks of house music at a time. Despite these evident Latin and techno elements, Boeing’s music never veers too far from the essentials of good old-fashioned house. It’s straight-ahead, feel-good dance music that never succumbs to experimentation or innovation despite its unique sound and warm, sensual qualities. Loenel Castillo, the Argentinean producer responsible for the album, focuses his efforts on making his songs shimmer and groove. He adds extra layers of gloss that other house producers never think to apply. The subtle textures he works into every song, such as the crackling silence that fills the spare seconds of quietness on “Pool,” don’t really stand out, and neither do the perfectly hollow percussive sounds omnipresent throughout “Fiesta,” but they make an incredible difference between Castillo’s style of house and the typical style you associate with Chicago, New York, or London. More than anything, Castillo’s style disregards standards. You can’t lump it into the New York scene nor can you attach easy descriptors like “tech-house” or “Latin house.” Castillo may offer an age-old style of dance music, but he’s undoubtedly original in his approach, perhaps in a way that only a South American artist can be — removed from generic influence and trend, insularly focused on his own craft. Because of this approach to house, Castillo has crafted an album under the Boeing guise that belongs in its own category, one based upon originality rather than convention. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Beta Male Fairytales


Beta Male Fairytales


$27.99


The debut album by London five-piece band Ben’s Brother, Beta Male Fairytales saw Jamie Hartman stepping out from the shadow of his big brother Ben, who inspired the group name, with a self-written, soulful, and emotion-filled album featuring 12 tracks, all written by Hartman. Ben’s Brother were a proper gigging band (not one discovered on a TV talent show), but the vocal qualities are not dissimilar to Ben Mills, who did nearly win The X Factor. The problem that Ben’s Brother faced was that the mid-2000s were awash with singers who had that Rod Stewart/Joe Cocker gravelly vocal quality, from established stars like the Stereophonics to newcomers like Paolo Nutini, and Beta Male Fairytales had nothing to distinguish it from the background coffee-table albums prevalent at the time. It opens with “Rise” and “Beauty Queen,” both tracks released as singles and both straightforward piano and guitar-led midtempo ballads. The tracks “Home,” “Bad Dream,” and “God by Another Name” had some of the musical arrangement qualities of Keane, but the penultimate track was an interesting 98-second instrumental, “Harmonica in F (Interlude),” almost an Irish jig on the acoustic guitar and harmonica. ~ Sharon Mawer, RoviPerformers: Martin Terefe – Drums (African), Guitar (Electric); Monisa Angell – Viola; John Catchings – Cello; Gayle Mayes – Vocals (Background); Kris Wilkinson – Viola; David Angell – Violin; Rob Bailey – Guitar (Electric); Claes Björklund – Guitar (Electric), Juno, Piano; David Davidson – Violin; Jamie Hartman – Guitar, Guitar (12 String Acoustic), Guitar (12 String), Guitar (Acoustic), Guitar (Electric), Harmonica, Organ (Hammond), Percussion, Piano, Slide Guitar, Synthesizer Strings, Vocals, Vocals (Background), Wurlitzer; Dave Hattee – Drums, Percussion;

The Best of the Beta Band


The Best of the Beta Band


$19.98


A somewhat peculiar way to send off a very peculiar band, The Best of the Beta Band is a two-disc compilation (priced as a single) intended for newcomers and collectors alike, with disc one a best-of and disc two a recording of one of the last gigs. Any Betas fan is bound to have at least one problem with the selection of tracks on the first disc. That’s to be expected. One notion that nearly every fan will agree on, however, is that each of the band’s albums has its own identity and would be better off left, and therefore experienced, intact. (The real nuts griped when the first three EPs were simply bound together.) You do want the albums, from front to back, with all the exposed seams and strokes of genius tied together, as they were intended to be heard. But this is a fine point of entry, containing the five proper singles and most of the other best-known moments, including a lumbering anthem that crosses Primal Scream’s “Loaded” with Harvest folk rocker Michael Chapman’s “It Didn’t Work Out” (”Dry the Rain”), a bewildering epic (that tries not to be an epic) with incidental orchestral sweeps (”It’s Not Too Beautiful”), and a gorgeously spare ballad that might or might not be about an alien who lost his memory and fell in love after wrecking his spacecraft (”Gone”). After a jovial “Good evening, London — how the f*ck are you?” the live disc rolls through nine of the 16 songs heard on the best-of, in addition to “Dr. Baker,” “Quiet,” “Dog’s Got a Bone,” and a riotous “House Song.” Since the crowd knows about the planned breakup, it’s very appreciative, and the Betas make a convincing case for being considered a live band as much as a studio band. The booklet is a gas, containing a series of graphic jokes where you would normally see a career summary involving phrases like “criminally underrated,” “wildly influential,” and “critically acclaimed but commercially underappreciated.” ~ Andy Kellman, All Music GuidePerformers: Ben Lee – Strings; Alex Lyon – Strings; Dominic Pecher – Strings; Ruston Pomeroy – Strings; Peter Fry – Trombone; Pete Gainey – Saxophone; Neil Martin – Trumpet

Hellgate - Awakening a Runner's Soul


Hellgate – Awakening a Runner’s Soul


$18.48


Josh Stanton is a distance runner. When he was young, he tortured himself mercilessly on the track and, even though his goal of making an Olympic team always seemed just out of reach, he struggled to maximize his potential. While racing, every second was precious and no sacrifice was too large. The training paid off and, in his early twenty’s, Josh ran hundreds of races from the mile to the marathon, consistently improving and winning. Then, at age 23 it was over. During a routine track workout, a nagging achilles problem escalated into a career ending injury. Knowing his best performances were behind him, he reluctantly retired from racing and tried to bury his dreams. 20 years later, by chance, Josh stumbles into the fringe sport of ultra-marathoning and rekindles his lost passion for running. After a few years of learning the ropes, he enters the Hellgate endurance run, a 66-mile trail race in the Virginia Mountains. Unable to come up with the performance he expects, Josh is compelled to answer a simple question. Why is he here? At age 43, Josh has to re-evaluate his motivation for running. Can he run for the pure joy of it, or is he to be forever tortured by the lost glory of his past. He has to search his soul to find answers to the questions that have haunted him ever since he started his comeback.
