Just to give another perspective, I f'n love Substrata. Drippy primal, organic ambient. No slick production techniques/oddball rhythm programming here.That one track with the string section and the drunk/old Russian dialogue gets me everytime. I've listened to this record at least once a week since I bought it last year... peace Nate On Mon, 26 Oct 1998 xxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx wrote: > WARD Giles wrote: > > ah.. the 'golden age' of IDM ;-) ..currently enjoying the more ambient > > tracks on Biosphere's Patashnik album.. whats the more recent Biosphere > > like? > > Substrata is like the more ambient tracks on Patashnik.
