Cabaret Voltaire co-founder Stephen Mallinder's second solo outing for Dais further distills his signature fusion of minimal synth, oblique wordplay, and "wonky disco" into a riveting rhythm suite ripe for our Age of Escalation: Tick Tick Tick. Channeling the temporal malaise of lockdown through a lusher palette of modular electronics and stereo strings, the songs embrace ambiguity and plasticity, loose systems of percolating circuitry and airless funk. Recorded across a handful of sessions at MemeTune Studios in Cornwall with frequent collaborator Benge (aka Ben Edwards), Mallinder cites no guiding aesthetic premise for the collection beyond "cowbell on every track, and entirely no reverb." From the first coiled cybernetic groove of opener "Contact," the album's spatial dynamics are disorienting and asymmetrical, alternately cold and sensual, opiated and claustrophobic. But, throughout, "rhythm is the default, the bedrock, the building block - even the melodies are rhythmic." Across 40-plus years of electronic musicianship, Mallinder's sense of timing and tempo has honed into a rare tier of mastery, limber and fluid but knotted with strange frictions. Shades of Detroit technoid industrial ("ringdropp," "Shock To The Body") crossfade into no wavy punk-funk ("Guernica Gallery," "Galaxy," "The Trial"), bad trip IDM ("Wasteland"), and jittery vapor house ("Hush"), at the threshold of modes both familiar and foreign. Lyrically the record is equally evasive, rich with allusions and associative linguistics, surveying liquid notions of societal noise, ecological ruin, art world pretension, and the trials of daily life. But the lack of fixed meaning remains Mallinder's main muse: "Music should draw you in; lyrics should make you think. Most interpretation is misinterpretation." This is music of countdowns and comedowns, fleeting pleasures and opaque futures, observing the great decline while dancing on it's ashes. Flux is deathless and forever; the rest, illusion: "I will be a constant figure / Flickering a moving picture / Turning in your head forever / Split apart but held together."

Perfect everyday bra
Size: 38D, Color: Beige - Unlined
This is by far the most comfortable everyday bra I’ve ever worn! The fabric is soft and breathable, offering just the right amount of support without feeling constricting. It’s perfect for all-day wear, and I barely notice it’s on. The fit is spot on, and I love that it’s simple yet functional for everyday use. It holds up well after washing too, keeping its shape and comfort. If you’re looking for a bra that combines comfort and practicality, this one is a winner!

Comfortable for everyday wear
Size: 42D, Color: Gentle Rose - Unlined
I wear a 40D and this bra provides solid support for everyday use. It’s comfortable enough for all-day wear and doesn’t dig in or feel restrictive. The fit is true to size, and the coverage is good, especially if you prefer something more full-coverage and secure. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it for high-impact or active use—it’s best suited for regular daily wear rather than workouts. Overall, a comfortable and reliable option if you’re looking for support without sacrificing comfort.

Size: 34G, Color: Black- Unlined
it's such a nice bra. smooth and pleasant fabric. if only cups could be a little deeper. it cuts trough the boob and doesn't look nice my size is 34G - but boob still spills out, tried 36f - same. will try and see if 36G will work but afraid wire diameter will go up and won't fit me properly

Stylish and practical backpack for work and travel
Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch, Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch
For both everyday work and travel, this bag has proven to be an excellent option. I can feel secure bringing my computer around because to the 15.6-inch laptop compartment's solid fit and ample padding. Notebooks, chargers, and a few personal belongings can fit in the spacious main compartment without feeling crowded. The apricot color looks polished but still casual enough to wear outside of work, and I really enjoy the sleek and fashionable shape. Even when the bag is completely packed, the straps remain comfy, and the stitching seems sturdy. I particularly enjoy that there are several pockets, including smaller ones for a phone, pencils, or keys. It makes everything accessible and well-organized. If the material gets a bit dusty while traveling, it washes clean and the zippers open smoothly. It is lightweight, adaptable, and functions well as a carry-on, purse-style bag, or business backpack. All things considered, it's a good everyday bag that is both practical and stylish.
