Cyra Elia has uploaded / released a new demo track called "Chasing Dreams". It's very simple and laid back. The feedback has been really good.
This "mini" 4 track release comprises of IDM ambient style creations by Steve Gane, usr/sbin (Dennis Moser), Jujigen (Kevin Rees) and myself Bluejooz.
The concept was conceived by Steve Gane. He wanted tracks for this collaboration to have an element of "Ambient Dance flavour" to them.
"Three tracks... four artist collaborating on one each. Each artist built a layer and then sent it on to the next artist. The result? An incredibly rich and diverse ambient release.
This is our first "true" collaboration release."
I've just released a new album featuring 12 tracks by various artists on my label including one by myself.
A slow building, mind relaxing crescendo of tracks all taken from previous Ambient Collective releases. Expertly crafted to help you unwind and shake off the shackles of a, dare I say it, a real shitty day at work? Totally dream worthy and chilled to the core.

A sweet blend of Dennis Mosers tracks that have been released via The Ambient Collective. The drones are amazingly sublime, intuitive and mind bending... and they really do chill you out. You should light a candle, turn off the lights and kick back to this stunning mix.

More for the IDM / soundtrack freaks. Some of Blue's finest Ambient Collective tracks mixed together to create a stunning and sometimes frantic atmosphere. Pure lounge music mixed with deep drones; Earth soundtracks mixed with enveloping dynamics with electronica flowing through the musical veins.
All tracks are approximately an hour long.
Please enjoy,
Bluejooz
Ahhhh... one of the greatest musicians of Commodore 64's history in my opinion was Rob Hubbard.
Privately was originally written by myself and Cyra around 2001 and featured Ian "Brooke" Marshall on guitar, Cyra on vocals and myself on keyboards. The track went down well at gigs but as a recording it just didn't meld. Two and half years ago I uploaded the original version as a download even though I wasn't happy with it. It wasn't long after when our old guitarist, original member Dave Sharples, heard it and contacted Cyra on Facebook and was hooked on it straight away. He had come up with some guitar hooks and sounds that he thought would compliment the track. In December 2007, Boxing Day, we met up for the first time since 1998 and headed straight to the studio to work on a new version.
I've had loads of requests for this track so I've finally uploaded it here so everyone can grab it.

In July 04 I weighed in at a hefty 21 stone and was going up and up. I decided after feeling very unhappy with myself and that I was only to blame that I had to do something it about it... and pronto too! I started my diet by giving up lots of fatty foods such as pastries, chips, crisps, fried foods and chocolate. In came the salads with chicken or tuna for months on end. I swapped the full fat crisps for low fat alternatives. Instead of fatty snacks I had apples instead. Full fat sugary drinks went too and I substituted them with low calorie alternatives. Sweets too, low fat puddings, even though I never really ate them in the first place! All the junk went out the window and was all replaced with low fat, healthier foods. I used to snack in between snacks! That was a no go. I knew that I had to be strict. And now look at the results! I have shed 7 and 1/2 stone. I did little exercise but I did take up walking during the summer of 05. That may have helped a little too.
