The Bog , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 705min
Hovern Bog. People live in terror of it - especially the residents of Fenchurch St. Jude, the little village located at its edge. They think of it as a living being. They've seen it reach out with sinewy tentacles... to take, entangle, and digest. When 2,000-year-old bodies are recovered from the bog, perfectly preserved, it is the discovery of a lifetime for archaeologist David Macauley. But close examination of the corpses reveals a curious fact: all were cruelly, mysteriously murdered, gnawed to death by some unimaginable creature. Soon it becomes apparent that whatever tortured and killed the bodies from ancient times still roams the bog, and no one in Fenchurch St. Jude - especially David and his family - is safe. In The Bog (1986), Michael Talbot (1953-1992), author of the vampire classic The Delicate Dependency and the chilling haunted house novel Night Things, delivers an exciting mix of science and the supernatural that will keep listeners guessing until the horrific climax. "One of the better horror novels.... odd and risky mingling of pure science with fairy lore and gnashed bodies.... terrific." - Kirkus Reviews "Exciting!" - Publishers Weekly "Convincingly original!" - Ocala Star-Banner ungekürzt.

Imagine the Life You'd Love to Live, Then Live It: 52 Inspired Habits and Playful Prompts , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 274min
Peg Conley has been an artist all her life, but, like many of us, took a long detour into the working world - in her case, corporate sales, where she found a lot of success and was able to raise a happy family. Art became the thing she did on vacations, weekends, and when she could carve time out of her busy life. Something gnawed at her, a nagging feeling that life might hold something else for her in the midst of it all. Then came the big "aha" moment. Peg heard a small voice inside: "Imagine the life you want to live, then live it. It's that simple!" Her family encouraged Peg to pursue her passion. Despite a great deal of fear, Peg dropped her big job, big house, and big life and moved to San Francisco to start a business based on her artisan stationery. From a handful of hand-painted cards, calendars, and posters, her company Words and Watercolors was born and has been inspiring people, winning awards, and raking in the sales ever since. Peg's intention with her work is to inspire and her art and writing all speak to life's great truths and those aha moments. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jenifer Krist.

Rough, Raw, and Ready: Rough Riders, Book 5 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 632min, (USK 18)
Chassie West Glanzer hasn't been a stranger to drama and tragedy. A year of wedded bliss to sexy-as-sin cowboy Trevor Glanzer has brought her the happiness and contentment she never thought she'd find, and mellowed Trevor's rodeo wanderlust. Then Trevor's old roping partner ambles up the driveway and Chassie's life changes drastically. Trevor never expected to see Edgard Mancuso again, after it became clear he couldn't be the man Edgard needed. Now Edgard is back from Brazil to sort out their tangled past, and Trevor is plagued with feelings he thought he'd buried over three years ago. Although Trevor is hat-over-bootheels in love with his sweet, feisty wife, the sense his life is missing a piece has always gnawed at him. Chassie's shock that Edgard and Trevor were once loves turns to fear of losing her husband. Or worse, fear that Trevor will stay with her only out of a sense of duty. Yet as the three of them spend time together, the sins of the past blur and fade, leaving raw emotion and unbridled passion. Passion that could heal - or cause irreparable damage to their future. Warning: This book contains unbelievably explicit sex, including multiple cowboy/cowgirl/cowboy menage scenes, juicy, hot male on male action, a bucketful of politically incorrect situations, and true Western ideology. ungekürzt.

Knights Rising: Silver Knights Saga, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 459min
Knights Rising: The Silver Knights Saga opens by introducing us to the character of Michael Carlear, a knight in search of his identity and destiny. Our protagonist is on a revengeful quest to avenge his father's death at the hands of the evil mage, Soladar. This journey is further marred by the death of his love, the beautiful Kara, and the person responsible for the same is again Soladar. Now Michael seeks this evil mage trying to understand the reason for the death of his loved ones. But the only way to do that is to destroy Soladar and all the evil that he controls which include the black beasts called Scarious. "The all-consuming desire for revenge for the deaths of Kara and his father gnawed at him like an endless hunger, an unquenchable thirst for his enemies' blood." His only hope may lie in the sword that he carries - a sword that once belonged to the great Silver Knight, Glollas. On his travels he encounters the beautiful and mysterious barmaid, Holly, who hides more than she reveals and is much more than just a romantic fling. While Michael is undertaking his journey, the evil Soladar is on his own mission to destroy the Orb of Chaos, which will imprison the entire free will of humanity. This tantalizing plot form the background of Knights Rising: The Silver Knights Saga, which gives us memorable characters in the form of magi, knights, saplings, and kruckles and will leave you panting for more. "The piercing arrow of love is cut by the shearing edge of the sword of truth. Neither can coexist so yet one must fall to the other. Which shall it be?" ungekürzt. Language: English.

All the Pretty Things: The Story of a Southern Girl Who Went Through Fire to Find Her Way Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 594min
I don't know how old I was the night the trailer burned down or if the rumor was true that Daddy was the one who set it on fire. For a long time, Edie thought she had escaped. It started in an Appalachian trailer park, where a young girl dreamed of becoming a doctor. But every day Edie woke up to her reality: a poverty-stricken world full of alcohol and violence, where getting out seemed impossible. She taught herself to drive a stick shift truck at 12 years old so she could get her drunk daddy home from the bar. She spent Saturdays at Brushy Mountain prison visiting her incarcerated cousin. She watched adults eat while her stomach gnawed, and then there was the torching of the family trailer, where she dug through the ashes to try to salvage her most prized possession: her Tammy Wynette album. And at the center of it all was her charismatic daddy. She never knew when he would show up, but when he did he was usually drunk; she learned the hard way that she couldn't count on him to protect her. So she told herself it didn't matter. All she wanted was to make him proud. Against all odds Edie "made doctor", achieving everything that had once seemed beyond her reach. Only it was too late, because her daddy died a year before she graduated medical school. She split the cost of his funeral with her sister. When her past finally caught up with her, it was all too much, so she did what her daddy would have done: She set it all on fire. It would take her whole life burning down once again for Edie to be finally able to face the truth about herself, her family, and her relationship with God. Listeners of The Glass Castle will treasure this refreshing and raw redemption story, a memoir for anyone who has ever hungered for home, forgiveness, and the safe embrace of a father's love. ungekürzt.

Midsummer
Recorded in 2010 at Townend Studios (Berlin), Klangwolke (Berlin), OrBeat-Studios (Berlin), Eastgate-Studios (Vienna) Track 1 and 5 produced by Quaeschning/Heidemann Track 2 by Beator Track 3 by Quaeschning/Djirre Track 4, 6 and 8 by Beator/Quaeschning Track 7 by Quaeschning Thorsten Quaeschning - Synthesizer, Piano, Memotron, Guitar, Vocoder, Vocals, Boomwhakers, Percussion, Stones Sascha Beator - Synthesizer Kai Hanuschka - Drums, Vocals, Percussion Djirre - Guitar, Vocals, Vocoder Juergen Heidemann - Singing Stones, Stones, Vocals, Boomwhakers David See - Stones Nadine Gomez - Violin, Vocals Picture Palace Music is an electronic music band from Berlin, Germany, the city where serious electronic music was born. Thorsten 'Q' Quaeschning, keyboardplayer in Tangerine Dream, is head of the project. The main idea of the group that was founded in 2003 is to reproduce the musical dynamic and experiments of old live accompaniment for silent movies and to give them a modern soundtrack with nowadays-technical options. This shows that the old silent movies are not mouldy: they are timeless and fascinating! The music is inspired by more than eighty years old silent movies. Take a deep trip into a mystical world of sounds! Picture Palace Music already has quite a number of releases out, some only available as download but also some on the Manikin electronic music label from Berlin. 'Midsummer' is the first one that was released on Groove Unlimited. The theme behind the album is 'music for sound divers and baptism-ceremonies'. The band is celebrating a wonderful summer sun-worshipping the solstice and the associated famous white nights and blue hours. Vuvuzelas (remember those from the Word Championship soccer?) as an essential part of this particular summer will be heard as well as the beautiful noise of sound-stones. So join the band having a trip through the whole gamut of emotions regarding/reflecting this eventful year - 2010. And a band it is. Apart from Thorsten 'Q' the band consists of Sacha Beator (keyboards, who also does a lot of composing), Djirre and Stephen Mortimer on guitars, Vincent Novak on drums and Juergen Heidemann on various instruments and sounds. Of course, with a man like 'Q' in the band, a comparison can be made with the music of Tangerine Dream. But Picture Palace Music is more than that: melodically, lively, rocky and even at some cases progressive ('Q' is a fan of progrock and alternative rockmusic which can be heard throughout the album). With 'Chill Crystal Zone' the album already starts in a progressive way with fierce guitars and drums. But on many occasions the band takes a rest, like in the atmospheric 'Midsummer's Morning' in which we hear 'Q''s Memotronflutes and 'Drowning Someone's Sorrow Into The Ocean, part I' (a great title!). He also plays a fine steelguitar: that can be heard in 'Seduction Crossing' and even sings, like in 'Midsummer's Night'. The texts are by William Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Picture Palace Music creates music that is a perfect mix between electronic music, rock and prog and therefore may attract a diversity of music lovers. And also live, like on the 'E-Live festival' in 2010 they proved they are a rising force in EM. Press Information It's quite difficult to describe the music of Picture Palace Music so much that she's so disparate. Since the release of Somnambulistic Tunes in 2007, Thorsten Quaeschning's group doesn't stop amazing by an impressive variety of styles and tones. Midsummer, their 1st album on Groove Unlimited was revealed during the E-Live2010 festival during a hectic concert that totally amazed the audience. And with good cause! Beyond a hymn to summer, it's solstice, the sun and it's worshippers, Midsummer embraces big synth rock and keeps an attentive ear to rustles o bluish nights, there where festivities of a world of excitement cross the parallelism of dualistic universes of Picture Palace Music. Chill Crystal Zone reminds us above all that the leader of PPM is also behind the keyboards of Tangerine Dream. Midsummer's introductory track starts with a slightly fluty synth dandling on a fine sequential line which waves such a prismatic rivulet on a cozy bed of twinkling arpeggios and guitar notes scrolling in loops. The rhythm is nervous, crossing the wriggling guitar of The Edge (U2) as well as naive and tremulous sequences of Dream from the Rockoon years. A feverish guitar of which riffs are fading behind floating vocalizes shapes a strange melody gnawed by a latent madness. The pace is increasing with more sustained percussions and crystalline chords which waddle innocently before the guitar becomes more mordant and that an avalanche of percussions tumbles with crash, dividing Chill Crystal Zone between a soft melody and an astounding musical fury that PPM had already flooded us with Damsel Dive and Help Murder Help which we find on Fairy Marsh Districts. Moreover, Midsummer will constantly be torn between melodies and anguishes as well as between brightness and blackness. Midsummer's Eve follows with an introduction rather similar to Chill Crystal Zone weakened rhythm, except that the rhythm explodes heavily with furious percussions, a line of hemmed bass and nervous guitar riffs which plunges us into the somber universe of King Crimson (Red and Starless and Bible Black). An explosive track where the guitar drags it's solos on a hybrid structure with a rhythm broken by short aired interludes, leaning over heavy riffs and dark lines of synth which roar in a cacophony of sounds reminding us that Midsummer is also an album for sound divers as well as for baptism ceremonies, but surely baptisms of another religious order. Sounds, sounds and sounds. Midsummer's Morning is full of those and this up to the last hidden recesses of it's mystery. It's a wonderful ode to schizophrenia with a delicious piano which spreads a magnificent meditative melody where voices drag in a furrow disturbing of emotionalism and eclecticism. A soft piano which reminds me the Añoranza on Curicculum Vitae 1 whose atmosphere is similar to it with all this array of sounds as heterogeneous as troubling which crosses this delicate duel piano / flute. Midsummer's Day cross a little bit the light rhythmics of the Dream in the Miramar years with it's lively tempo where guitar riffs flow on nervous percussions and limpid sequences fidgeting beneath delicate strata of synth. A track which flirts a little more towards the big synth rock, quite as the powerful and colliding Right of Ascension Day, and which knows it's increases of creativity with a beautiful guitar and vocals of festivities which plunge Midsummer's Day in an unreal African rave-up, especially with vuvuzelas which buzz around vocoders. Seduction Crossing is also tinted of this Tangerine Dream universe, but a darker Dream brought out of Legend paths. A fine sequence swirls after an atonal intro with anguishing breezes. A sequence of which chords are trickling away under good striking of muffed percussions and others which are deeply colliding quite as on Legend. A line of bass fed this spiral sequence where keyboard keys water this strange melody of glass tones. A great track which depicts a nightmarish paranoia, especially when are adding superb spectral guitars strata which sway with stridence, tearing this suave to schizophrenic seduction which lives in Seduction Crossing, one excellent track within Midsummer. Our eardrums, still knocked out by strikes of the heavy and captivating Right of Ascension, are wrapped by the eclectic and hollow intro of Drowning Someone's Sorrow into the Ocean Part I. Drops stream in the echo of dark caves of which curves go on towards a heterogeneous sound universe where caustic reverberations cross an array of fluty breezes and metallic hoops. A sequence is emerging from it and discreetly astride this plain fossilized of metallic humming. The movement is delicate and is increasing with the appearance of the P- Shop: odax
