Hiya,

"Album" was his debut, and from memory, "Aura" is
a track on it.

His second release (still at mastering stage) is
sounding very fine, IMO, with a bit more focus on
the sparse and housey techno than the first. It
reminds me quite a bit of Thule stuff, although I
don't think he's heard any. It's also to a lesser
extent like J Burger stuff, especially with
regards the space and bright sounds.

We're also collaborating on a CD release,
hopefully scheduled for before I go overseas in
April, so I think the second Aspen CD has been
postponed.

Oh yeah, and I agree wholeheartedly with Andrew's
review on the Cognition site.

Michael
