Beatportal have just posted an excellent article about the New Zealand drum & bass scene along with an interview with Nick Robinson from my personal favourite New Zealand musical act, Shapeshifter.
Here is the video to their amazing single Electric Dream -> interview after the jump

The power of a great sound track cannot be underestimated; it is these soundtracks which stay in our memories with iconic movie scenes. A great sound track can make an average movie better, and in the same token a bad soundtrack can make a good movie forgettable.
This week i watched a relatively unknown sci-fi movie called Code 46 staring Tim Robins and Samantha Morton. The movie itself was reasonably enjoyable, but what made it stick in my mind was the soundtrack. The movie had hauntingly beautiful music which portrayed the emotions of the scenes and the harshness of the landscapes, the people, and the reality of life in the future. At one point in the film there is a sequence of scenes set to Warning Sign By Coldplay. I don’t mind coldplay but i am by no means a huge fan of theirs; however that song, in that scene was just utterly perfect. Not only did it make me love the movie more and feel very real empathy for the characters in the scene, but it made me love the song. Video for the song below
This got me thinking about my favourite movie soundtracks……
