Iamx, the electro-rock unit founded by Sneaker Pimps frontman Chris Corner, have grabbed our attention for many years, thanks to a dark and sensual sound which is equal parts chilling, romantic and aggressive; it's fitting that “Nightlife,” one of the band's most popular singles, plays a major role in the German vampire epic We Are the Night (a film I highly recommend, by the way). It's been two years to the day since Chris unleashed the angst-ridden Volatile Times on the world, and our fast has been broken with their ambitious fifth studio album The Unified Field. The album's title comes from the scientific theory of a universal consciousness linking everything in the universe... and yeah, that's a pretty challenging concept for an artist in any medium. But Chris is a unique talent, whose creative intensity is equal to the task. “I fight with science and spirituality constantly,” Corner explains.

Director/screenwriter Diane Bell's Obselidia is one of 16 films selected from 1,058 submissions for the Dramatic Competition for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Described as a "save-the-world love story", the film tells the story of a lonely librarian believes love is obsolete until a road trip to Death Valley with a beguiling cinema projectionist teaches him otherwise. Shot on the Red Camera, featuring a score by UK musician Liam Howe (Spin Spin Sugar, 6 Underground) and starring a mostly unknown cast Gaynor Howe (Home and Away), Michael Piccirilli, and Frank Hoyt Taylor.
