Return of the Reptilians (Beyond 2012)

It'll get your pulse going, great exercise music. And realistically, it will stand as sort of a unique pinpoint of distinct and unique brilliance for a group I just don't see carrying that level of creativity into future albums - a pinnacle that is unmatched in anything I've heard so far. Please disregard that part of my original review and do not let it discourage you from enjoying it for these and other similar purposes. I have to bleep the name of the band, or Amazon auto-rejects the review I picked this album as the place to dive in based on Amazon reviews.
You have to listen through a couple of times to get your head wrapped around it, but once there, you can't get back out. I couldn't stop listening to it.
This is high quality weird funky electronica. It starts with "Born", spunky, funky, washes you away with a whole wave of "wtf? It starts strong and stays strong. Get picked up with Born and twirl around with a kind of electronic hip-hop post-disco hurricane in Julius. The disco vibe gets strong with Bury us Alive, blended with a fine contemporary indie lyric. Mellow the disco funk into the halting, pleasing, cleverly choppy-fluid title track.
This album is peppy, it pops. GREAT music for getting you going in the morning. Great music to play in the car.
Not great music to play for quiet concentration, like reading or studying - it GRABS your attention and doesn't let go. This is NOT background noise. Now, having enjoyed this insane-yet-rational, tremendously clever production I was absolutely, involuntarily compelled to snap up digital copies of self-title and Jupiter, which are GOOD, worth having and enjoying, but found this latest effort also to be the best.
There are a lot of common themes among them but for whatever reason, Reptilians seems like the most whole, most complete, most interesting, most engaging, well-constructed production. It really just hangs together the best.

The point is, you can't go wrong here. I wouldn't even recommend listening to the previews Grab a copy, crank it up in the car or at home or on the MP3 player, make sure it's LOUD, and be prepared to be totally wowed! Kudos to the good people of Starfkr. Great music, great band. I don't usually give reviews. I bought this album totally pumped to listen to it and relax. What I got was the opposite.
The album itself was not delivered warped: I've always worried that getting albums shipped might cause them to warp a little, but that's not the issue. The problem is one complete side side B sounds like someone turning a tone dial up and down continuously, and it only gets WORSE as the side goes on.

I can't even listen to it without getting a headache, and I can see my needle sliding back and forth. I'm guessing that the pressing is just messed up. Until they have a new pressing, don't buy it. Excellent LP, comes with a neato groovy poster, and a lavender colored record. Obviously the music is great. Quintessential indie synth pop that I've been listening to since this record was released, back when I was just a young chap. Catchy hooks, sonically interesting, one of their strongest and more polished efforts. One person found this helpful. I have not been so moved by a band as I have been by this band.
They brought out so many emotions, each distinct in every song. Their sound is so alive and easy to love. I refuse to believe that any alternative or indie lover could possibly hate this album. Every time you have been blown away by one song the next one starts and just takes off. Absolutely melodic and mesmerizing, danceable, sad, happy and just so full of life. After you listen to this album, go see the band live.
Then you will forever love the band. Devlyn's sexual appetite was filled by controlling the men in her care so much that they had little will to oppose her wishes. Captain Nelek found a way to go against her wishes, but he too fell for her seduction when in her presence. Her ability to control men lead her to keep one captive for longer than the human lifespan.
Devlyn's hybrid status gave her many of the unique abilities, but beyond that the plot was very thin. The erotic scenes were well written, but that was the majority of the books with occasional glimpses of futuristic situations. The story would be vastly improved by flushing out the sci-fi aspects of the plot. Galateea added it May 17, There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

Translocated resident adults, for example, can quickly and consistently find new aquatic habitats within 33 hours, often using precise and predictable routes, whereas translocated non-resident adults appear unable to find new aquatic habitats even after 21 days.
Thus, reptilian hippocampus may also share a central role in navigation.

The hippocampus is critical for map-like or relational memory representations of allocentric space, where objects are represented in relation to other objects. In birds and mammals, lesions to the hippocampal formation produce selective impairments in spatial tasks that require the encoding of relationships among multiple environmental features place learning but not in tasks that require approaching a single cue or simple non-spatial discriminations.
Whereas extensive comparative research supports the idea that the reptilian medial cortex is homologous to the hippocampal formation of mammals and birds, only a few studies have examined the neural function of this brain structure or its role in place learning. In one such study, Rodriguez et al.
Hippocampal lesioned and sham-lesioned animals performed cue-discrimination tasks correctly, but failed at the place learning that relied on allocentric space learning.
These results indicate that lesions to the hippocampus of turtles selectively impair map-like memory representations of the environmental space, mirroring the effect of hippocampal lesions in mammals and birds. Thus, reptilian hippocampus may also share a central role in navigation. In conclusion, the observation that mammalian and reptilian brains share both ancestry and a large number of functional attributes suggests that the identification of primordial and possibly general algorithmic principles of brain function could be helped by comparative approaches.
