Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 7) by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "Moley Christmas" by Gremlin Graphics (1987). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

Perfect for You, by Ariana May
'Perfect for You' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May.'Perfect for You' is an optimistic yet nostalgic ballad that reflects how you will find someone that is perfect for you; even if it doesn't feel like you will, or even if you feel like you have lost the one that you were destined to be with - someone beautiful and true will find their way into your life, and you'll "laugh and smile with them too".The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.

Arjit Singh - 'Rihaa'
Cutest stop-frame animation to go with Arjit's song 'Rihaa' which is a prayer for the liberation from ignorance. A few people could use this right now!"It is a prayer which is sung on behalf of all human beings. May we be aware that we are the master of our body and mind. May we be conscious enough to use our own body and mind to do our jobs towards the well-being of the world and all life forces. May we be in search of the real self which is free from all misery. May we fall in love with everything or the absolute, the higher self. It is a song to pray to the absolute so we travel from the darkest ignorance to the light of truth and be complete. May we liberate." - Arjit Singh#arjitsingh #rihaa #prayer #hindi #bengali orylonmusic #jeeni #music #musicians #entertainer #independent #indiemusic #electronicmusic #keyboards #synthmusic #singersongwriter #musicvideo #animation #musicfest #community #talent #unsigned #creatives #fans #superfans
