> has anyone heard the new atom heart cd with the woodgrain cover? I don't > remember the name, but it might be number 048. is it similar to his last one, > 047. _naturalist_ is a little more "obviously" poppy than _schnittstelle_. the song's are in the sort of traditionalist format of the three minute pop tune, with verse/chorus arrangements and sometimes even vocals. great premise, but it just doesn't cohere, and ends up sounding, i think, a bit trite. it's nowhere near the accomplishment of _schnitstelle_. i'm looking forward to his next one, tho -- _dropshadow disease_ is meant to be a more full-blown "neo-pop" album. also, has anyone heard the first release on biosphere's biophone label? i've got it on order, but i kinda don't know what to expect... finally, speaking of biosphere, i finally saw _insomnia_ this weekend. a really interesting experience, being so familiar with the music apart from its cinematic content, then watching that relationship evolve... sc
