"Our Most Unlistenable Podcast Idea Ever"

In this introductory mini-episode, Ben & Matt talk through their mission statement for the podcast as well as their history with the Transformers franchise.

If you'd like to watch and read along with us then you need to watch Transformers (2007) before the next episode, and read More Than Meets the Eye Issues 1-8 before Episode 2.

More (And Less!) Than Meets the Eye - Episode 0: Introductions

We continue our adventures aboard the Lost Light with some Big Name Cameos, history lessons, dramatic countdowns (and ups), an ill-advised night on the town and the monster in the basement finally gets loose.

Next week: Dark of the Moon
Two weeks: Issues 17-33 (Dark Cybertron entirely optional!)

Outro music - 'This is Why We Fight' - Saskia Parks (The Decemberists Cover)

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye - Episode 4: MTMTE Issues 9-16 & 2012 Annual

Just because the crew of the Lost Light appear to be dead, doesn't mean this is the end! Death? Sparkeaters? Infinites? An Evil Alliance of Past Foes? A Planet-Sized Transformer? Unknowable Ancient Beings Trying to Eat the Universe? Pfft. How about a challenge next time?!?

It's also NOT the end of this podcast, as next week we will be joined by James Roberts himself to answer some of our burning questions.

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye - Episode 14: Lost Light Issues 13-25

After dissecting his books for 14 weeks, Ben & Matt had the privilege of sitting down with James Roberts to discuss all things More Than Meets The Eye/Lost Light.

From the origins of his Transformers fandom (and how it differs from Ben & Matt's!), to his influences when building the cast, to incredibly specific questions about Mnemosurgery and Empurata, we tried to cover as much ground as possible in an hour. Don't worry, we made sure to ask 'Why do you hate Beast Wars, James?!?'

Outro Music: 'This Is Why We Fight' (The Decemberists Cover) - Saskia Parks

More (And Less!) Than Meets The Eye - Episode 15: James Roberts Interview

Sangoma Records proudly presents “More than Meets the Eye”, the second full-length album by Ingrained Instincts. 

With this follow-up release, the duo once again redefines their sonic identity, going deeper into the hidden layers of consciousness. "More than Meets the Eye" is an introspective voyage through the intricate web of memory, sound, and emotion. This album isn’t just music, it’s a study of how sounds awaken forgotten memories, how those memories stir emotion, and how emotion shapes our experiences. Crafted for inner exploration and outer motion, this is music for minds that seek meaning beyond the obvious.

01. Ingrained Instincts - More Than Meets The Eye

Ingrained Instincts is a unique project consisting of Tilemachos Vlachos, and Dafy Deliangelos from Greece. Both have shared the same passion for Psychedelic music since their very early days. They met in 2001, formed a project together, and started to develop a different sound, but one totally sympathetic to the scene, and yet wholly psychedelic, and funky! 

After many years of experimentation, the Ingrained Instincts project was born in 2014. Their sound could be described as an amalgamation of many variations which don’t fit in one box – definitely different and organic sounding. For their production they use analogue as well as digital hardware, and are building their own modular system. Tilemachos also has a downtempo project called “Escape Velocity”, with releases on Spiral Trax, Sonic Loom and Eardream Music amongst other labels. Ingrained Instincts are signed with Sangoma Records and so far released on TIP Records, Nano Records, Future Music Records, Blacklite Records and more. Ingrained Instincts have been busy touring around the globe and have performed live at some of the biggest festivals of the Psytrance scene such as Boom, Ozora, Universo Paralello, Sonica, Antaris, FreeEarth, Indian Spirit, Kosmos and many others… 

This is one project you have to keep an ear out for, because before you know it you’ll be dancing away. Uncontrollably! It’s infectious.
