We went on an overnight trip down to Atlanta. Attending the Industrial Nation presents Cold Waves 2025 at The Masquerade (Hell ). Bands on the line-up were: Lead Into Gold, Clock DVA and Front Line Assembly. We stayed at Aloft Downtown Atlanta.

Our dog, Rosey accompanied us on our ATL adventure. On the way down to ATL, we stopped at the Buc-ee's Calhoun location in Adairsville, GA. ( we also stopped again on our way back home ) Once we made it into the city, we checked into our hotel room before the show.

Ended up Ubering over to the venue. Didn't have to wait in line ( much at all ). I got a High Noon seltzer and found a spot in front of the mixing board. They were playing Autechre's Tri Repetae ++ over the PA before the show.

The 1st band to take the stage was Lead Into Gold ( Paul Barker ). Then the 2nd band was Clock DVA. After a short time, Paul Barker came out to the mercy booth and was signing vinyl and posing for selfies. I purchased his latest album, "Knife The Ally" on vinyl and he signed it and my vinyl copy of "Age of Reason" ( his 1st album ) as we chatted. Then we got someone in line to take a couple photos. Then I went back to my spot and watched the rest of Clock DVA's set. I got a 2nd High Noon seltzer and found a closer spot closer to the stage. The last band to perform for the evening was Front Line Assembly. They played a set list of their Wax Trax! era albums. ( even played one of the Cyberaktif track, "Nothing Stays" as their Encore ) After the show, I got an Uber back to the hotel room. We stayed up for a bit and watched The Big Bang Theory on Nick-at-Nite. Got up after 9am, gathered our stuff, and checked out. Got on the road taking a more casual drive. Making a couple pit stops along the way.

Prinsengracht 10/02/2012 14h13

Stars dancing on the ice. An almost private performance after the first Prinsengracht Concert on Ice which was just ended when I got here.

A very rare scene, ice skaters on the canals of Amsterdam. But after a cold wave of 10 days with temperatures far below zero it became reality. The last time it was possible to skate on some of the Amsterdam canals was in 1997. Will we have to wait another 15 years to take these photos?

Fujifilm X-E1 - Fujinon XF 18mm f/2 R

Another Place Soundtrack is a collection of instrumental and vocal pieces shaped for late hours, dim rooms, and attentive listening. The album drifts through post-punk, coldwave, ambient noir, new wave - influenced minimalism, and dream pop - soaked shoegaze textures, built from deep sub-bass, blurred analog pads, melodic basslines, restrained drum patterns, and fragments of guitar and synth that appear, dissolve, and return altered. These tracks don’t resolve so much as inhabit space, functioning as atmosphere rather than narrative - music designed for the Another Place venue and its unfolding stories. It’s sound for standing inside time as it softens, where the outside world recedes and presence, repetition, and quiet emotional tension become the only currency.

Track# 3 - Inside The Sound

Artist: The Echofade

 

Inside The Sound captures a late-night, personal moment inside Another Place, where low light, bass, and drifting guitars replaced conversation. Rooted in ambient noir and shoegaze textures, the song lingers in shared silence and suspended time, holding onto the quiet intimacy of being present together - inside the room, the music, and the night. It doesn’t resolve or explain the moment, choosing instead to let it breathe and repeat. What remains is a memory shaped by sound, where presence mattered more than words.

 

Lyrics:

 

Low lights breathing through the wall

Bass like a heart behind the floor

We don’t speak, we let it hum

Every sound knows where it’s from

 

Time slips sideways when it’s late

Names dissolve, we hesitate

 

I was inside the sound

Before I knew your face

Held together by the night

In another place

 

Guitar ghosts in haloed air

Footsteps echo, no one’s there

Your shadow bends, then drifts away

Leaves a tone that wants to stay

 

Nothing moves, but nothing’s still

Every silence has a will

 

I was inside the sound

Let it pull me out of time

If I’m lost, let me stay

In the hum between the lines

 

No beginning

No resolve

Just the room

And the sound

Track# 2 - Jacket

Artist: Stacey Morton

 

Jacket is a slow-burning dream-pop vignette set in the after-hours glow of Another Place, capturing a fleeting connection built on shared music, soft conversation, and unspoken expectation. It traces the quiet aftermath of a night that almost became something more - no exchanged numbers, no resolution - only a borrowed warmth left behind. Repeating like a memory that won’t fade, the mantra turns the jacket into a symbol of intimacy, absence, and the small, lingering weight of what never happened.

 

Lyrics:

 

Low light humming in the bar

Another Place, just after dark

Silently bleeding from the walls

We talk like we’ve been here before

 

Beach House turning slow and blue

Your shoulder close, the room feels new

We move like time forgot to rush

Two shadows learning how to touch

 

You say nothing lasts too long

I say nothing feels that wrong

 

You left your jacket

You left your jacket

Still warm, still here

You left your jacket

 

Streetlights flicker on the ride

Windows down, the night goes quiet

You kiss my cheek, say “drive safe”

Pause like something almost changed

 

No numbers passed, no final scene

Just a look I couldn’t read

 

You left your jacket

You left your jacket

Still warm, still here

You left your jacket

 

Next night, same bar, same song

Low bass dragging time along

Bartender asks, “Is he your man?”

I shake my head, don’t say his name

 

You left your jacket

You left your jacket

That’s all I have

You left your jacket

Sunday night at Gothic Pogo Festival 2017, Werk II, Leipzig

It has been freezing for a couple of days/nights in a row, freezing canals up. As the coldwave (at least 10 consecutive frosty days) lasts until today, I decided to go out and get my share of Frozen Canals.

 

Amsterdam has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than one hundred kilometres of canals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings. From: wikipedia, this article also features information on this particular canal; Prinsengracht

 

Amsterdam (pronounced /ˈæmstərdæm/; Dutch [ɑmstərˈdɑm]) is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. The city, which had a population (including suburbs) of 1.36 million on 1 January 2008, comprises the northern part of the Randstad, the sixth-largest metropolitan area in Europe, with a population of around 6.7 million. From: wikipedia.
