The Helm - Olympic MessLondon based experimentalist Luke Younger (aka Helm) returns to PAN with Olympic Mess, a record born of destructive practice, competing desires, and troubled optimism. Where his previous effort, 2014's The Hollow Organ (PAN 050EP), dealt in dense, distressed sonics, Olympic Mess is Younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco.

London-based experimentalist Luke Younger (aka Helm) returns to PAN with Olympic Mess, a record born of destructive practice, competing desires, and troubled optimism. Where his previous effort, 2014's The Hollow Organ (PAN 050EP), dealt in dense, distressed sonics, Olympic Mess is Younger responding to a period spent engaged with loop-based industrial music, dub techno, and balearic disco. These musical references, all of which can induce hypnotic states and feelings of euphoria, inform ten evocative aural landscapes that unfurl over the course of an hour and act almost as a counterpoint to the turmoil that spawned them. It's about exploring a perverse desire to pull the rug from under yourself, and the struggle to achieve a healthy equilibrium between one's personal and artistic lives, Younger says. Dealing with the problematic consequences of pushing your own limits, forming and dissolving relationships, transient lifestyles, physical and mental exhaustion, excess, and other kinds of personal chaos. Crafted using an array of heavily processed samples, found sound, and electroacoustics, personal conflict manifests in I Exist in a Fog and Outerzone 2015, in which visceral noise disintegrates into veiled, ambient strata. The disquieting crescendos of The Evening in Reverse and Fluid Cloak offer no such relief, while the title-track and Don't Lick the Jacket are mineral, multilayered abstractions twisting around a brittle pulse. Following a period of extensive touring throughout the States and Europe, which included 20 dates in support of Danish punk group Iceage, Olympic Mess was recorded in London, New York, and Berlin by Sean Ragon, Luke Younger, and John Hannon. The album is mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin, pressed on CD and 140-gram double LP. It features photography by Kim Thue and artwork by Bill Kouligas.

Triple Check Your Measurements. No Margin For Error.
Size: 15 inch, Color: Space Gray
Exterior is exactly 15" wide making for a snug fit of my 14 1/8" laptop. This snug fit was what I was looking for. Any tighter and it wouldn't fit at all. The material is of good quality and the lining is soft. The padding is minimal but should be adequate for everyday use. First impressions are this is a very good quality sleeve. Time will tell.

13.3-inch bag is too big for a 13-inch Surface Pro 11
Size: 13.3 inch, Color: Gray
The bag is very good, but I am returning the 13.3-inch size bag, as it is too big for a Microsoft Surface Pro 11 (13-inch screen). I should have done a bit more digging through the description to realize the size. It would have been better if the pictures showed actual inner dimensions. I have just ordered a 12.3-inch bag. The smaller bag should be adequate. EDIT: The 12.3 inch bag came in. This bag is perfect for Surface Pro. Great fit! The front pocket holds the power brick and a small mouse, and a bit more space for flash drive or similar.

Nice color and good quality
Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue, Size: 14 inch, Color: Navy Blue
I had originally bought this for my work laptop (MacBook) and it fit perfectly. But now I use it for my personal which is a 13.3in MacBook Air. I like the feeling of the case. I have a crack on my screen and I feel like this case offers more cushion than my previous one. I wouldn’t say this would save my laptop from a fall but I feel more confident as it’s in my bag that it’s getting enough protection. I also like the color and it’s spacious enough to hold a laptop charger, note pad, pens, etc.

This glass protector was the easiest one i have ever used. went in on easily and only a couple of bubbles that were easy to push out. It seems to be made with quality material and fits perfectly. Got the first one right so now i have a spare.
