Here at Shadow Company we don't "drop" albums. (That sounds so much better coming from Snoop, anyway.) Besides, we think a bit more cosmically, baby. Like the industrial hip-ship of your dreams making landfall... Which is exactly what our hero Psychonaut has just done!

Born in the dark recesses of some strange minds and finely matured in our secret NYC studio, Dub Reggae, Industrial and Funk flavors mix feely and occasionally jarringly on this little platter, creating a study in contrast between these disparate yet fundamentally intertwined genres. 

This one has really been a pleasure, folks. Making the kind of music that we want to hear is always a privilege, but even more so is having you along for the ride!

One of our wordsmiths, a worldly chap for whom the title of "former international contraband smuggler" is the least interesting line item on his curriculum vitae, has decided to put down some of his compatriots tall tales on paper. Or ePub, as the case may be. Drawn from anecdotal reporting and first-hand experience, it's protagonists inhabit a world of smuggling, information brokerages, and industrial espionage where only the gutter is the limit

It's available on the iTunes store, but our loyal fans can download an ePub version simply by clicking the cover art (left), loading her up into your favorite reader. Enjoy ;)

Also coming this Spring/Summer from Shadow Company... A private tour of our Princeton, NJ studio, including a guest appearance by our slot-machine-and-booze-addled mascot, Ethyl (visible at left)! Why isn't it in NYC, you ask, like the rest of our operation? Have you seen Manhattan and Brooklyn rents lately? Besides, even the most hard-boiled New Yorkers need to get out of town every once in a while ;)

I'm not talking about a single film the consumes you with its artifice; but at least in my studio a full-on binge (provided the privilege is not overused), and clearly improves productivity across the board! Just to show you I'm not all best, what follows is my very favorite series, in the appropriate order. This may be background noise to some, but it's still art and can be very soothing with the right content in the right frame of mind! We'll start with a fairly simple one:

The Blade Runner Binge

1. Blade Runner
2. Supplementary Material (BR2049 bonus material)
3. Blade Runner 2049

A great little saga, hopefully soon. But "Blade Runner" and "Blade Runner 2049" are distinct movies that nonetheless for a cohesive whole. The environments are as lush as ever, and haven't skipped a step in all the years they've been around. But now for something a bit more complicated... From a most comlicated and enviable of directors, Ridley Scott! Ok let's try for a little more time consuming. Even if it means you have to sleep in the next day, don't miss the ultimate timeline:

The Preadator/AVP/Predator Binge

1. Predator
2. Predator 2
3. Alien v. Predator
4. Predators
5. Alien
6. Aiens
7. Alien3

Not that I leave out the second AVP. This is for good reason: not only is it terrible, it breaks the whole actipn-packed flow!
