O ARCÁDIA irá fazer sete anos no próximo dia 15 de Janeiro. Parece impossível… Pois, mas não é. Sete anos é obra…, somos uns decanos da blogocoisa . Enquanto o chefe da quadrilha se mantém exilado em Paris a estudar filosofia – pausa para gargalhada… – por cá atribui-se a Gaspar e a Coelho o pobre Natal que se avizinha. A "velhice" do blogue, ladrões vários e Natal. O que é que uma coisa têm a ver com outra. Nada? Resposta errada. Tudo. Tristezas não pagam dividas e há falta de melhor é [...]

Ottawa-based Wide Angle Recordings recently unveiled Arcadia , by Bulgarian producer/DJ PHM ; his debut on the progressive Canadian label. As well as the three-track EP, PHM also provided an hour-long mix for the label's podcast series, Cityscape Sessions. PHM keeps in accordance with Wide Angle's melodic tendencies with "Arcadia"-- the title track builds from an atonal introductory phase and low frequency LFO growl into a complex mesh of melodic stabs and parametrical texture changes that uplift the soul as well as the body, making [...]

Today is Election Day in Denmark and as I wrote almost 4 years ago, I urge everyone to please go cast their vote. As always I don't give a rat's ass for who you decide to vote for; as long as you show our democracy the respect and turn up at the polling station to vote. Just never forget that everyday people are dying around the world trying to get the freedom and democracy that we take for granted. And a video from the days before [...]
Arcadia ; what Duran Duran did in 1985 when they got a bit board of tropical beaches. 'Election Day' was their biggest hit. Buy Arcadia's music from: Follow @electronicrumor
Dizem-me que em breve vamos ter de regresso e a todo o vapor aqui ao ARCÁDIA o nosso camarada Nuno Cunha Rolo. Será verdade? A confirmar-se…, é reforço!

In my never ending quest to post while I have the chance I figured this would be the quickest means to an end. I was thinking about grabbing some Election Day related songs and posting them today so that's what I'm going to do. Politics is a dirty filthy game and I've never thought much of politicians as a rule. That doesn't make me right, but I just couldn't see wading into the cesspool of corruption and sleeping at night. It's amazing how the jargon has crept into our vernacular the past five or six years. Pork, earmarks, backroom deals, [...]
I appear to be a touch tipsy in this video but guess that's just the sign of a great festival. Big props to the guys over at Foo Magazine for putting this together, well looking forwards to Boomtown Fair next year.
Here's a beautiful video performance of Arcadia's 'The Flame'... it's much more clear than other versions I have seen from this Spanish television program.

For my amigos and I that ventured to the Arcadia field pretty much every night at the Glastonbury festival, to have the Freefall Collective playing 3 nights over 1 weekend. Well it's got to be hasn't it?! Blinding tunes from midnight onwards we found that they were probably one of the best acts there over [...] Related posts: Overdrive by The Freefall Collective nbsp;...

AC/DC's Iron Man 2 soundtrack starts the countdown to the summer's hottest franchise sequel...

Like some sort of indie stereotype who was shamelessly born in 1993, the only reason I found about this guy was through a curiosity to see who was making all the cool noises to accompany Sir Gibbard in The Postal Service . I personally managed to pump this guy into my head in the summer: It was 4am, and I was walking back through Frinton on my way home, having just slept outside on a hard floor of a beach hut. It seemed like a mildly appropiate situation to be listening to Mr. Tamborello; he's not just Indie Electronica. On " Everything [...]

Oriundos de Irlanda, los chicos de Ash nos traen "Arcadia" , un tema muy prendido y acompañado de un video especialmente dedicado a los fanáticos de los videos juegos de ayer. Arcadia es parte del single "C" , correspondiente a "The A-Z Series" , un conjunto de 26 sencillos que los irlandeces están lanzando quincenalmente track a track en formato vinilo o por descargas online (claro que ambas formas son pagadas). Acá les dejamos el video promocional de "Arcadia" , en una de [...]

Ash continue their bi-weekly A-Z track releases with the C track, "Arcadia."

Twenty four years on, I still love Arcadia's So Red The Rose . Only 8 vocal tracks, nearly flawless, and each simultaneously lush and angular. It was produced in 1985 by the late Alex Sadkin , who also produced Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger , and albums by Grace Jones and Thompson Twins. Rumor has it the album will be re-released in 2010. I hope it contains the extended versions, [...]
Sorry to disappoint everyone, but just because I go off on a singular word "rant" on Twitter doesn't mean I'm going to elaborate here. Sometimes my misery (such as it is) is my own. I love how I got tweets looking forward to elaboration on this. Sorry. Not gonna happen. Bitches, man. Arcadia The Flame (Extended Remix) The Flame (Yo Homeboy Mix) The Promise (Extended Remix) I never fully "got" the point of Arcadia. They're 3/5ths of Duran [...]
To the person who shared the Aphrodite remixes, thank you so much! I only had them in mix form, not as separate tracks. I'm stoked. Since that worked out so well for me I'm going to request some music for a change! That's right, I'm a hypocrite! So I'm looking for a few rare tracks. Anyone who shares them will have their wildest wishes come true. Or I'll hook them up with some rare tracks of their choice, whichever. They are: David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out Fire) : I'm [...]

Slowly the Glastonbury memories are starting to return and so we can begin to tell you a little about our weekend adventures. We all had completely different experiences so will try and bring you at least a couple of viewpoints but this is how it pretty much went down for me... Having been in attendance at the festival since I was a knee high nipper it seems to be almost against the Glastonbury way to plan out your weekend and flap around stressing about getting to see all the acts you [...]
Any day which I have an excuse to post something Duran Duran-related is a good one. Here's Arcadia's "Election Day," where Arcadia is the side project of Simon LeBon and Nick Rhodes (and to a lesser extent Roger Taylor). Its lone album is So Red the Rose , and spawned the hit "Election Day." The edited version is right here, while after the jump is the amazing nine-minute clip. Only in the '80s. Either way, get out and vote today, regardless of your party preference.
