Picture this: Your local planetarium has what is frequently referred to as Stoner Night … come see the sky show set to music! Usually, you know, the soundtrack was Pink Floyd but sometimes they stretched out, reflecting the recent musical discoveries of the planetarium staff … So the night we went, they had just discovered the MoodSwings Orchestra album Moodfood, which definitely put them out there ahead of me and introduced me to the classic track Rainsong featuring the vocals of Linda Muriel, produced by Chrissie Hynde.

Now picture this: mousing along online, you come across Hypenet and follow one of the links to the new Sia Bonus CD track, Bring It To Me, an energy ramp as well as a memorable hook, from an artist who is apparently really really big somewhere, at least within a particular online community of music lovers that you'll never meet except by way of their music blogs … and it turns out that the track just rocks your world … kinda like the MoodSwings Orchestra did in '93.

Mood Modding, as this set is called, is built around my planetarium moment interfacing with my Hypenet moment … you'll hear music from Sia, Moodswings Orch., Karl Moestl, Jon Kennedy, Paul + Price, Frank Borell, Fortunato & Montresor, Bliss and more … the intention is that you'll have your own 'planetarium moment' here at BeatConscious and take away news of a fresh favorite for your Top Ten list … simultaneously getting that mood modification you've been looking for all day.

In keeping with the mix title, for my CD cover art I used a couple of photos by Marcin Sacha from the landscape portfolios ... these pictures are so hyper-real, they seem like digital creations for some gaming software, thus the connection with modding....

Well worth the time to check them out ...
