Hi, Brad. There's RealAudio of Floating Point in one of the In The Mix shows
onhttp://www.globalserve.net/~cognition and the new Monolake single (Tangent)
is
in the February 99 RA Top 20.  I'll be doing the world premiere of the
Monolake--
Interstate album on the Cognition Audioworks site soon.  (Thought I solved
computer
problems I had, but new ones just cropped up. Damn). Textwise, there's a review
of it
up now in the February 99 Electronics Report.  Simply put, though, Floating
Point
is more cool and glacial, while Monolake is the warmer companion.  There's a
in a rain forest type of vibe to parts of the Monolake album, whereas you get
more of a crisp wind blowing over you type of vibe from the Floating Point
stuff.
Hope this helps.  Andrew
