The Amazing Artwork of Shusei Nagaoka
Above is one of my favourite album covers, the space station from ELO’s Out of the Blue. It was painted by Shusei Nagaoka.
Listening to Babylon 5 music takes me back
Back in the day Christopher Frankie the composer of the Babylon 5 music agreed to the publishing of MP3 by him from B5 and the cancelled B5 game from Sierra. Of course the RIAA couldn’t let free music on the internet, even though it was agreed to by the copyright owner and composer.
Anyways, listening to those tracks I did get, is awesome, its like its 1995 all over again. Man am I getting old.
Now “GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR GALAXY” haha
Review of the Yamaha TSS-10 HT Sound System
The Yamaha TSS series (TSS-1, TSS-10 & TSS-15) is a funny home theatre set to bracket. These days you usually get HT setups in 3 manners; PC 5.1 with no decoding, all in one DVD set or a real separates system. Now imagine a very small niche in the center of these three where the Yamaha TSS (and Sony HT-BE1) resides. It offers decoding and multiple inputs like the seperates system, the one box solution like the DVD set and the affordability of the PC 5.1 set.
It is not as powerful as a lot of other systems, but for a small living room or second room system it is ideal. The sound is good, if not amazing, but still far better than the tat they call speakers in 99% of today’s TVs. Each of the TSS series have a healthy selection of inputs, the TSS-15 is by far the best offering two opticals, one digital coax and dual phono inputs. The TSS-10 which I have lacks the coax. This is still enough to input from a PS3, 360 and Wii without changing a single cable. For the record I only own a PS3, but for serious gamers this might be a good bonus.
I have have found the TSS-10 to be easy to use and setup, its small speakers have integrated wall mounts. The remote is a simple as it gets. It supports Pro Logic, Dolby 5.1 and DTS for the stunning ebay price of £25. Frankly if you have spent hundreds on your new HD telly, why not pay up and get a wee system like this to help you enjoy it all the more.
