Generation Hope vs the Extinction Team X-Men

In Generation Hope, the titular character turned 'The Lights' (New Mutants after M-Day that she rescued and stabilised) into a team of X-Men. Idie left in Schism and Pixie joined as transportation.

Good to see Emma hating on a teenager

Hope Summers drilled and trained them hard, and once they'd been around the block awhile asked to spar with the Extinction Team + Boom Boom (AKA the most powerful X-Men team ever.)

One down, with Pixie teleporting Colossus elsewhere. Megan has gotten so much mileage out of that one spell over the years.

Everyone else is brawling and Namor is tilted about being dosed with pixie dust.

I have to think the older team aren't taking this very seriously, or perhaps there's something to be said for Hope using dedicated small unit tactics. There's something funny about her just shooting Namor.

Magneto is definitely holding back, preoccupied with watching and orating. His reward is AKIRA-style body horror at the hands/parts of Kenji/Zero.

After his disappointment in Magneto's performance, Kenji gets what he was after (I think) and gets torn apart. Mags seems quite calm when chastened, suggesting it was a cold blooded response, though it's hard to tell with the combination eye gouge and psychic attack.

We don't get the terms of this engagement other than 'training exercise' and I can't read Japanese, so we're missing a little context. Hope was shooting Namor with an automatic rifle after Pixie drugged him, though he barely retaliated. The only measure we have of the Zero/Magneto fight is how people react to it. Hope and Scott both act like he went too far, but Zero and Magneto don't seem to think so. Anyone read Japanese? I'd ask Kieron Gillen on his Tumblr but he's a busy guy.

What do you think? 'That boy started it' isn't a good look for an old man who's supremely powerful.

Palomatic - Trill - vinyl-only reissue of 1995 techno album by Koji Takahashi (I wish I'd discovered it back then instead of just now because I love it, but better late than never)

Feedback Waves — the new imprint from independent label Rings of Neptune — is proud to present Trill, the first and only album by Palomatic. Almost thirty years after its original release on CD in 1995, this beautiful nine-track work is now available on vinyl for the first time. Palomatic is an alias of Koji Takahashi, an active member of the bubbling Japanese electronic music scene of the early-to-mid 90s. Besides his solo work, he was a core member of Takahashi Tektronix (with Nic Yoshizawa) and Mutron (with Kiyoshi Hazemoto, aka Interferon), as well as working as a synth programmer for supergroup Denki Groove. Following the release of his debut track ‘Halo’ on Syzygy Records in 1993, Takahashi made a series of contributions to compilations on the scene-defining Transonic label. His first and only full-length album, Trill, combined these tracks with original material to form an absorbing and versatile standalone statement of the Palomatic sound. From the oscillating lilt of ‘Flutter’, which opens proceedings at a measured 104bpm, through to the symphonic epilogue of ‘Soar’, Trill is rooted in the fertile territory between organic and synthetic sounds — ground that was nourishing the work of many likeminded producers worldwide at the time. West Coast psychedelia and East Coast funk, the moody bass weight of Bristol trip-hop and Sheffield bleep, and the chemical rush of German techno and Belgian trance: with a distinctly Japanese sensibility, Trill drew these strands together into an elegant musical tapestry. The result is timeless — indeed, album centrepiece ‘Foaming Waves’ would sound right at home on the faster-paced dancefloors of today.
