Listen to a full audio interview with Auyon and a special 4-track music feature from Darlingside's brand new release entitled "EP 1". http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com/entry/2010-08-27T08_52_12-07_00 Interview with Auyon of Darlingside: "Turning Classical into pure East Coast Alt Rock" http://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/08/interview-with-darlingside-turning.html See other featured artists like this at http://thegreatunknowns.podomatic.com

The disc opens to a folder containing 23 construction kits ranging from 80 to 180 bpm, with most hovering around 120. I'm immediately impressed by the scope of what's offered: everything from dream-pop, robot music, techno-goth and early Ministry-like electro industrial (minus screaming guitars) to erotic '80s house and even a cool downtempo new-wave rap beat

Those of us who love Pandora will especially enjoy Musicovery, an "interactive webRadio." Here's how it works: you pick a main genre, such as classical, soul, pop, etc. Then you pick a "mood" within that genre; this could be anything from energetic to positive to dark. After that, you'll get a visual representation of your musical selections all looped together, and you can zip around from bubble to bubble as the whim strikes you. Musicovery is a nice way to find music that I wouldn't have thought of, and while it does need some tweaking (why no playlists?), and it's definitely not a Pandora-killer, it's still a great way to plug into and explore your favorite music. Oh, and no registration required - just start listening away. - Wendy Boswell
