They are a synth duo band that is made up of an eccentric women with a dramatic flare, Elly Jackson and a man that up until late he was content with playing a background role, Ben Langmaid. Many of the album track are written by Jackson about her 5 year on again off again relationship, and together they attribute much of their musical influence to 80's pop band like Human League, Blancmange, Yazoo and Heaven 17. The very first album release is a self entitled album that has all the sounds of an 80's synth pop band and some of the 80's look as well. No matter what the look their sound is still extremely impressive. It is always a risk purchasing an album from a new band, but I can honestly say that this album is worth it. Two of my favorite tracks, on the album are Quicksand and Bullet Proof. I do wish, however that Langmaid would make himself more noticeable, as it seems like there is a single performer in the group.

5 damaging mistakes guitar

Here are 11 key mistakes guitar players make and repeat over and over again that you should definitely avoid.

1. Taking Guitar Lessons From Ineffective Guitar Teachers. Unfortunately, most electric guitar teachers receive ZERO training on how to teach guitar. What is worse is that the vast majority of teachers do little or nothing to improve their guitar teaching skills. Type in this keyword phrase: ‘improve guitar teaching skills’, ‘guitar teaching skills’, or ‘guitar teaching training’ and you will find that less than 10 searches per month are done for these topics at google! Of course there are some highly effective electric guitar teachers around, but there are a whole lot more ineffective teachers. Here is a free resource on how to tell the difference between the good guitar teachers and the mediocre ones, free guide: how to find a guitar teacher:

2. Seeking New Guitar Information (tricks, tips, tab) Without A Proven Strategy To Reach Your Specific Musical Goals. We need information, advice, help and music to play, but without a proven strategic learning and training process that is specific to you, your skill level, your musical style and what you want to be able to do as a guitar player, information won’t get you where you want to go. It is better to first seek help in developing a customized strategy for you to become a better guitar player.

3. Most guitar players are not specific enough when they think about (or tell others about) what they want to be able to do with their guitar. How can you (or your guitar teacher) develop a specific and effective guitar training strategy unless the goals you have are specific? You can always change your goal later if you discover you want to do something else instead.

4. Not Enough Focus On Things That Matter Most To Making You A Better Guitar Player. Have you fallen into the trap of practicing guitar without focusing on the specific things that can quickly begin to improve your guitar playing? Mark was studying sweep picking arpeggios with his previous teacher, and was making some progressMark’s previous teacher only knew how to ‘teach’ arpeggios and general sweep picking concepts.

5.In addition to not focusing on specific things, many guitar players focus on the ‘wrong things’. Some enthusiastic guitar players become temporarily obsessed with things which are distractions from other things that could be helping their guitar playing much more. I was not investing my guitar practice time wisely by focusing on the things that mattered most to making a better guitar player. In other words, my perseverance was commendable, but my strategy to master important long-term goals was weak. Focus on the things that really matter for your guitar playing right now.

THE EXCLUSIVE ATMOSPHERE OF A LANDED HOUSE IN NIRVANA AVANA APARTMENT Kemang, Jakarta

The vast advances of the property world in large cities can sometimes confuse city dwellers when it comes to choosing the best housing options, a choice that they must consider carefully. A cornucopia of apartments is on offer in every corner of the city, each flaunting its own characteristic. It is therefore a crowning quality for an apartment block to have a distinctive and unique trait that sets it apart from its competitors. Most modern city dwellers are known to have complex daily activities and it is imperative for them to be able to relax properly at the end of the day. To spend their idyllic time in the comfort of their living quarters is what most of them want, and a residential that is both cozy, secure , and able to reflect the particular needs of the occupants is what they are looking for. However, the idealistic notion of owning a house in a horizontal housing complex-preferably in the city center and even better, close to the office-is hard to achieve in a city where land is at a premium. So the next best option into live in a vertical village-an apartment block.

One apartment block which offers the comforts of living in a landed house is Nirvana Avana Apartment. It is designed to bring the concept of horizontal living into the vertical block each unit is fitted with facilities similar to a landed house, including a garden This is made possible with its existence of large balconies and pool decks. In some units and penthouses, private pools are available ad the back.

The design of Nirvana Avana Apartment was slightly altered in the construction phase. Originally, the design was done by SCDA which came up with a grand with an efficient modulation construction where each floor is divided into 4 units. The straight columns fitted perfectly with the plan and the surrounding areas. However, Aboday had another vision to make the building appear more distinctive and attractive. In later construction, Nirvana Avana Apartment applies the concept of topical living into its vertical design. This is evident in the various open areas circling the perimeter of each unit in the from of balconies (which can also serve as green areas) as well as 2.5m overhangs. In addition, the overhangs can be used to catch and pour out excessive rainwater during the rainy season. The use of air conditioning in each unit is minimized as a result of the ‘shaded areas’ under the overhangs that help reduce the heat of the sun. Other open areas in several units (balconies and swimming pools) cantilever out over the perimeter of the building, enabling the areas to be turned into green spaces. With the cantilevered structure, the façade juts out and are noticeable in several parts of the building, adding to the striking and unique flavor to he overall construction. This façade design was one of the main considerations in creating the apartment block as frontage is one part of the building which occupants see, walk past, enjoy every time of the day. A ‘successful’ façade design is expected to provide a sense of comfort for the occupants while at the same time instill a dynamic drive to boost their spirit the day-to-day activities.

Nirvana Avana Apartment offers a luxury amidst an architectural grandeur for its tenants, something which is never before available in the apartment scene in the greater Jakarta. The extensive green areas provided by the balconies-on the ground floor and the floors I above it – are expected to turn it into a green and eco- friendly building in the future. It will not be a surprise if parts of the building become some sort of hanging gardens, with lush vegetation planted on each floor. Another asset of Nirvana Avana Apartment is its unconventional design which sets it apart from other apartment blocks in the Kemang vicinity. It makes use of both glass and natural stone materials to create more texture in the exterior of the building. The extended balconies and swimming pools appear as small canopies, augmenting the Nirvana Avana Apartment’s desire to portray a distinctive modern outlook in the tropics.

The modernist is echoed in the interior of the units which employ the eclectic=modern theme. It marries practicality of modern living with the romantic beauty of quaint constructions. The modern theme is highlighted with the use of wood and steel materials while the old- world charm can be seen in the vast array of organic shapes in the interior elements. A twist in the interior design helps create a romantic sense for its e of comfort for its residents, with natural light coming into the apartment units and hidden lighting in several corners to beautifully illuminate the rooms. The construction of Nirvana Avana Apartment showcases more texture rather than materials. The amalgamation of glass elements, rendered walls, and aluminum surfaces, coupled with the extreme façade positioning as well as the balconies, creates a one-of-a-kind look. Overall, the building’s interior lends the appearance of a relief wall which plays with surfaces and shadows.

The public facilities on offer here include a laundry, a fitness centre, a parking area, all of which are located on the ground floor. Boasting an exclusive design, Nirvana Avana upants to the apartment units belonging to them, thus ensuring complete privacy for its residents.

Bathing beauty

A sculptured bathtub takes pride of place in this master bedroom.

If a bathtub is more akin to a work of art than a piece of utility furniture, why hide it away in a master ensuite?

This ivory bathtub for instance, is made from crushed almond shells. Rather than sitting in the bathroom, it has taken up residence in the master bedroom of a house designed by Glenn Holmes, of Design Department.

“The homeowners are parents to three lively children and their master suite is their sanctuary. Enjoying a bath at the end of the day is one of those indulgences that they couldn’t bear to consign to a small ensuite bathroom,” he says.

Elevated on a teak platform, the bath is positioned directly opposite the bed. From its curvaceous form, the bather has a view out the window that takes in Sydney’s middle hard our.

The teak platform serves a number of purposes. Practically, it ensures the carpet isn’t destroyed by bath water- there is a stainless steel tray beneath the tub to collect water that is easily accessible for cleaning. Aesthetically, the teak platform evokes a nautical theme that is prevalent throughout the home’s interior design.

Behind the tub, the walls are painted white to provide a blank canvas for artwork and to offer a light backdrop for the bathtub during the day.

“It’s about providing a bathing experience that includes a stunning view- a comfortable place to soak where you can either relax or converse with your partner without interruption,” Holmes says.

To complete the picture, the bedroom is fitted with a state-of-the-art sound system.

The separate ensuite is reserved for daily cleansing rituals and includes a shower and toilet. Twin basins are separated by a central pedestal, which houses linen and toiletries.

The porcelain bowl and timber vanities echo the bathtub and platform in the bathroom. The tumbled marble floor has the same dept and variety as the bedroom carpet, but is a more practical surface for a bathroom floor.

Benefits in the form of industry representatives and fans are split: many felt, not only must have lost his mind Sony, [Blu – PlayStation 3 – ray Disc players to boost prices, meanwhile, other people happy, the players are always fast and prices reasonable. Many believe the HD – DVD’s, to finally win one greater than the number of simple believers.

The extended balconies and swimming pools appear as small canopies, augmenting the Nirvana Avana Apartment’s desire to portray a distinctive modern outlook in the tropics.

The modernist is echoed in the interior of the units which employ the eclectic=modern theme. It marries practicality of modern living with the romantic beauty of quaint constructions. The modern theme is highlighted with the use of wood and steel materials while the old- world charm can be seen in the vast array of organic shapes in the interior elements. A twist in the interior design helps create a romantic sense for its e of comfort for its residents, with natural light coming into the apartment units and hidden lighting in several corners to beautifully illuminate the rooms. The construction of Nirvana Avana Apartment showcases more texture rather than materials. The amalgamation of glass elements, rendered walls, and aluminum surfaces, coupled with the extreme façade positioning as well as the balconies, creates a one-of-a-kind look. Overall, the building’s interior lends the appearance of a relief wall which plays with surfaces and shadows.

The public facilities on offer here include a laundry, a fitness centre, a parking area, all of which are located on the ground floor. Boasting an exclusive design, Nirvana Avana upants to the apartment units belonging to them, thus ensuring complete privacy for its residents.

Bathing beauty

A sculptured bathtub takes pride of place in this master bedroom.

If a bathtub is more akin to a work of art than a piece of utility furniture, why hide it away in a master ensuite?

This ivory bathtub for instance, is made from crushed almond shells. Rather than sitting in the bathroom, it has taken up residence in the master bedroom of a house designed by Glenn Holmes, of Design Department.

“The homeowners are parents to three lively children and their master suite is their sanctuary. Enjoying a bath at the end of the day is one of those indulgences that they couldn’t bear to consign to a small ensuite bathroom,” he says.

Elevated on a teak platform, the bath is positioned directly opposite the bed. From its curvaceous form, the bather has a view out the window that takes in Sydney’s middle hard our.

The teak platform serves a number of purposes. Practically, it ensures the carpet isn’t destroyed by bath water- there is a stainless steel tray beneath the tub to collect water that is easily accessible for cleaning. Aesthetically, the teak platform evokes a nautical theme that is prevalent throughout the home’s interior design.

Behind the tub, the walls are painted white to provide a blank canvas for artwork and to offer a light backdrop for the bathtub during the day.

“It’s about providing a bathing experience that includes a stunning view- a comfortable place to soak where you can either relax or converse with your partner without interruption,” Holmes says.

To complete the picture, the bedroom is fitted with a state-of-the-art sound system.

The separate ensuite is reserved for daily cleansing rituals and includes a shower and toilet. Twin basins are separated by a central pedestal, which houses linen and toiletries.

The porcelain bowl and timber vanities echo the bathtub and platform in the bathroom. The tumbled marble floor has the same dept and variety as the bedroom carpet, but is a more practical surface for a bathroom floor.
