THE UNHEARD MUSIC IS ONE YEAR OLD!

Mein Gott! It's been one year folks! The Unheard Music is officially one year old! With that said, I want to thank EVERYONE that visits the site and reads it, downloads stuff, leaves comments, and has helped me with details and research as well as providing links for really cool stuff to check out! I'm so happy you like the site and can't thank you enough for your support!

Now, I had something in mind I wanted to give you on the one year anniversary, but I can't give you the whole thing, so I'm posting a "sampler" of something that has grown in infamy here. I'm not going to say what it is, but if you've been around here for a while or read a certain post that has been revisited more than once, you'll have an idea what I'm talking about.

I've also received a few requests for the FLAC version of the mono mix of Miles Davis' Kind Of Blue. Keep in mind, if you're looking at the file and thinking it looks kind of small, it's true one-channel mono, so it's significantly smaller in size, but it is true lossless so don't worry, you're getting the whole enchilada.

Thanks again to everyone and hopefully we'll be around for quite a while more! I'd say years but we all know how google/blogger has been acting lately. I'd think I have it on my side that this site doesn't post new releases and such, but I've seen other sites that post weird or rare stuff get shut down for practically nothing, so I'll keep my fingers crossed. Regardless, if I were to get shut down, I have all the content from the site backed up so, in theory, I could re-post it somewhat quickly, but let's hope that doesn't happen.

One more thing, big props to all the people I've gotten to speak with for posts here like Skiz from WordSound, Richard Devine, Dan LeRoy and my main man Rom Del Castillo at Schematic! Thank you so much for taking time out of your crazy lives to speak with me! I couldn't have done this without your contributions! Thanks for everything guys and if I can ever help you out, just let me know. And if I forgot anyone, please forgive me, it's not even 8am here yet, I haven't had my morning Coca-Cola yet so I'm still a little dull. Much love to everyone, contributors and readers alike!

THE SARTORIAL BOND

Parece que o responsável pelo "look" de Sean Connery, que inicia toda uma tradição de "Sartorial Gentlemaness" na figura icónica de James Bond foi Terence Young, o realizador de Dr. No, que foi quem o apresentou ao seu próprio alfaiate Anthony Sinclair. Supostamente, segundo o próprio Bond no Dr. No,Sinclair deveria representar Savile Row mas realmente estava em Conduit Street no nº 43, portanto muito próximo da Row.

O alfaiate tanto de Roger Moore no seu papel de Bond como de Michael Caine ( por exemplo no Italian Job) foi Douglas Hayward, famosa figura Londrina e alfaiate de muitos famosos da vida artística durante os anos 60 e 70 .... Em baixo vemos tanto Moore como Caine revisitando em "sentimental Journey" a Alfaiataria do agora saudoso ... e tão estimado Douglas ...

Ferrari F430 Design

The body has been redesigned to be more curvaceous and aerodynamic. Although the drag coefficient remains the same, downforce has been greatly enhanced. A great deal of Ferrari heritage is found in the car: at the rear, the Enzo's tail lights and interior vents have been added. The car's name has been etched into the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front

Hamilton a 'dickhead'

Lewis Hamilton will probably just want to forget his Australian Grand Prix weekend.



First of all, he got nicked by the rozzers on Friday for ‘improper use of a motor vehicle’ after they saw him wheel-spinning his Mercedes-Benz road car, which was then promptly impounded.



He was then outclassed by McLaren team mate Jenson Button in both qualifying and the race itself, Hamilton ending up in sixth place and clearly frustrated. Afterwards, he decided to publicly criticise the team’s tactics. Realising that was never going to make him very popular, Hamilton has since done some diplomatic back-peddling to smooth things over, saying he now ‘understands’ the decision to bring him in for a second pit stop.



But the icing on the cake has been the comments made by Tim Pallas, the Minister for Roads and Ports in the Australian state of Victoria. Launching his ‘Don’t Be A Dickhead’ road safety campaign on Monday, the day after the Grand Prix, Pallas was asked whether Hamilton would fit into that category. Pallas admitted, "OK, I'll say it. He's a dickhead" before going onto claim that Hamilton’s actions had “put people’s lives at risk”. Really?



Aussie driver Mark Webber swiftly came to Hamilton’s defence, saying his country had become a “nanny state” with ridiculous driving rules. Pallas thought Webber irresponsible for making those remarks, but confirmed he definitely isn’t another dickhead.



Perhaps the real dickheads in the Hamilton ‘improper use’ saga were the two McLaren flunkies who tried to shield both Hamilton and his Mercedes-Benz from being filmed after the police stop. One of these guys seemed to believe he could achieve that by holding open his brown jacket, without looking like a total prat. The irony is he’ll probably be strung up for daring to wear a non-regulation piece of clothing with his McLaren uniform. Rumour is the team’s very strict on that sort of thing.

Ford Focus RS500

Ford has decided to reveal details of its new Focus RS500 two days early, due to ‘overwhelming interest’.

The RS500 is the swansong for the current Focus, before the all-new third generation model arrives next year. As the name implies, production will be limited to just 500 examples, which Ford will be allocating across its European markets.

101 cars, the largest share, are destined for the UK. Ford thinks France and Germany are also potentially big RS500 territories, as they’ll be getting 56 and 55 units respectively. And the Belgians must be keen RS fans, because their relatively small market is to receive 50. Each car will have a hand engraved plaque on the centre console with a unique identification number from 001 - 500.

The RS500 features the same engine found in the standard Focus RS, albeit heavily modified. Ford engineers have worked with Revolve Technologies on developing the 2.5 litre Duratec turbocharged motor, focussing mainly on improving mid-range and top-end power. To help achieve this, they have given the RS500 a larger air-to-air intercooler, a bigger air filter box for increased airflow, a wider diameter exhaust down pipe, and recalibrated engine software.

As a result, power is up 44 bhp to 345 bhp, and torque has increased by 20 Nm to 460 Nm. The RS500 remains front wheel drive, and to counter torque steer it has exactly the same RevoKnuckle front suspension and Quaife limited slip differential as used on the standard Focus RS.

On the face of it, all that work seems to have had little effect on performance. 0-62 mph takes 5.6 seconds in the RS500 compared to 5.9 seconds in the normal Focus RS, and top speed is pretty much unchanged at just over 160 mph.

But to judge the RS500 on only those measures would be missing the point. The upgrades are there to boost mid-range performance and drivability. As proof of their effectiveness, Ford is claiming a RS500 could lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in eight minutes. To put that into perspective, the best time a Nissan R35 GT-R has posted is 7 minutes 26 seconds - and that car has 478 bhp and all-wheel drive.

Other features, such as the braking system and 19-inch alloy wheels with 235/35/R19 tyres, are unchanged from the standard Focus RS, although red brake calipers and a black finish for the wheels are exclusive to the RS500.

Matching those wheels is the matt black bodywork. That matt effect is actually created by a foil, applied by 3M over Panther Black metallic paint. Ford reckons it’s a durable finish, designed to resist marks and scratches, but it’ll be interesting to see what insurance companies think of it when calculating premiums for the RS500.

The specification for the RS500 includes items such as part-leather trim on the Recaro seats, Bluetooth, automatic headlights and rear parking sensors, all of which are cost options on the standard Focus RS. The only options that RS500 buyers will be able to choose are a touch screen navigation system and full leather seats.



The price for the RS500 has yet to be announced but, given the equipment and technical upgrades, expect a not insubstantial increase over the £27,575 that Ford currently charges for the Focus RS in the UK.

Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue: 1959 Mono Version

So a friend brought this to my attention and hooked me up with a copy, and boy is it nice! Someone on one of those fancy, private trackers posted a 24 Bit, 96 khz rip of an original 1959 mono vinyl pressing of Miles' Kind Of Blue! On top of that, it's from a Demonstration copy, better known to us as a promo, and it was in near perfect shape, so now we have the rarely seen mono mix of the album to listen to! Of course, the version posted here is a standard, 16/44 MP3, but that shouldn't discourage you from checking this out, it still sounds incredible!

To that individual, sorry I didn't ask your permission but I wanted to share the wealth, and you've done a wonderful job of transferring this too! I've left your original notes and artwork intact and included them with these MP3s.

UPDATE: Big shock! :) The DMCA made me remove the links. Sorry guys.

2010 Australian GP

What a difference two weeks make. After the yawn-fest that was the Bahrain Grand Prix, the Australian event had excitement from start to finish. Drivers were even managing to overtake each other.



It just goes to show that you don’t have to spend $150 million on a sterile Hermann Tilke creation to get a decent race… just run the track through your local car park instead.



Jenson Button’s win was definitely helped by his bold decision to stop early and swap his wet weather inter tyres for slicks. His smooth driving style then meant he could make those tyres last until the end, without needing to change again.

By contrast, Button’s team mate Lewis Hamilton did have to use another set of dry tyres. But those too began to degrade towards the end and, although he caught the fourth and third place Ferraris of Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, he was unable to pass them.



Hamilton was very public in his criticism of McLaren’s decision to bring him (but not Button) in again for new tyres. It was extraordinary, especially as during the closing stages he was heard complaining over the radio that even his second lot of dry tyres had gone off. That surely just proved that Hamilton was heavier on his tyres.



Either way, he was riled. It’s got to be hurting him psychologically that Button secured McLaren’s first victory this season.



After a first lap spin, Alonso’s drive from the back of the field was impressive, scything through with apparent ease. However, like Hamilton, he then seemed to reach a point where he couldn’t overtake anymore and he had to be content with fourth place, finishing just behind Massa.

Compare Alonso’s performance with that of Michael Schumacher. The Mercedes driver was also sent to the back after an opening lap bump meant his car’s front wing needed replacing. However, he seemed to struggle to overtake mid-ranking cars such as the Torro Rosso of Jaime Alguersuari.

Schumacher eventually finished in tenth place, gaining a single point, but it’s debatable whether this has been the glorious return to Formula 1 he was envisaging.



Sandwiched between Button and the Ferraris was Robert Kubica in his Renault. He managed to hold onto a tremendous second place, nursing his tyres to the end despite being under constant pressure.



Red Bull should consider its weekend a disaster. The promise of a win was there following a dominant qualifying performance by Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.



Things started going downhill when both drivers stayed out too long on their inter tyres with a drying track. Neither was going significantly slower than those cars already on slicks, but it resulted in Webber getting caught up in the pit lane traffic, dropping him several places.



Of course, the lowest point for Red Bull was Vettel’s brake failure on lap 25. It dumped him into the gravel trap and out of a race that he’d been leading since the start. Two races, two technical faults… not good.



Webber eventually finished in ninth, earning a reprimand from the stewards after he collided with Hamilton during the closing phase. His only consolation was setting the fastest lap.



Bernie Ecclestone is probably breathing a sigh of relief that Australia addressed many of the criticisms levelled at Formula 1 after Bahrain. Maybe he’s also thinking that a more interesting track should host the opening round in 2011?



Going into next weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix, Alonso retains his lead in the championship with 37 points, followed by Massa and Button on 33 and 31 points respectively. Fans might just be wishing for a repeat of last year’s torrential rainfall at Sepang if it makes for another thrilling race.
