One Step Beyond - Out With the Old
EP 2010
23.8 MB, 192kbps

Established in Adelaide, Australia during the 2nd summer of 1997, ONE STEP BEYOND play a unique blend of extreme metal, with styles as diverse as rock, funk and dub, sounding something like a mix of NAPALM DEATH and PRIMUS. Or as described by Eternal frost zine: “Imagine BLOOD DUSTER duking it out with BOB MARLEY and LES CLAYPOOL over the last hit of a PCP laced joint”.

THIS EP WAS RECORDED IN 2005 AND THROUGH LABEL RELATED COMPLICATIONS HAS REMAINED UNRELEASED UNTIL NOW. THE MATERIAL IS PREDOMINANTLY FROM OUR FORMATIVE YEARS FROM 1997-98 AND WAS NOT RECORDED AT THAT TIME. IT IS THE LAST OSB CD TO FEATURE THE TALENTS OF GUITARIST JEREMY LAMMAS.

1. Very Bad Man
2. This Life
3. Verb
4. Ordinary Citizens
5. Psychosexual
6. Dancing Fool
7. In With the New

Iron Man 2 Review

- Too many attempts at comedic Woody Allen-esque dialogue. I overhear enough of that crap in my life already; I don't want to see actors wasting their breath like that.
- Jon Favreau, stick behind the camera. We don't need tertiary characters beating up goons. Heck, we don't even need primary/secondary characters (Black Widow) beating up goons.
- Speaking of Black Widow, she added very little to the drama. Just eye candy really. I imagined her character to be like many of the female spies that pop up in the James Bond films... very sneaky, very lethal. Here though, she seemed to be doing more paper work than espionage.
- Don Cheadle was respectable as James Rhodes. However, one questions his physical presence as a military man. Terrence Howard had more attitude, and would have served well here.
- The action scenes involving Whiplash came and went like a flash. In contrast, the action scenes with all those Hammer robots dragged on and on and on. I feel they should have made Whiplash much more fearsome... there seemed to be little doubt that Iron Man and War Machine would easily dispose of him. The climactic battle in the first film seemed more tense.
- At two hours, it was way too long.
- Too many references to the Avengers project.
- I'm sick of Stan Lee cameos. Couldn't they be more subtle, and slide him in a Hitchcock manner?
- Captain America's shield. Also so unsubtle. Why not just stick the first Avenger right in our face and get it over and done with? Same thing with Mjolnir in the post-credits scene (though at least that wasn't in the centre of the film).
- Monaco setting was brilliant. SUITCASE ARMOUR FOR THE WIN!!!

Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 doesn't have a wrap text around image functionality.

Instead, one is too manually wrap the text around an image.

Wu-Tang Clan poster

Here's what I worked with (Warning: 'tis 8MB in size):

The aim: to remove the watermark and to clean the image up.

The result a few weeks later (had to resize it so that I could upload it):



Used GIMP. Pretty much clone tooled my way through. If you want the bigger version, let me know (6442 x 4464).
