>-dsn vs. biosphere I don't think this release exists (although it would be pretty cool if I was wrong). To my knowledge there's DSN vs. HIA and HIA vs. Biosphere, both of which are very good. DSN vs. HIA mixes the best of both bands and turns out to be a thoroughly enjoyable trancey, very electronic sounding ambient album - go figure. HIA vs. Biosphere is creepy and cold. Lot's of things going on, but many I can only hear with headphones. One of my favorite ambient releases of the year so far. >also, what other moufang/dsn releases/collabs that are not on fax can you >recommend? IF2 is one of my favorite IDM albums of all time. I don't have IF2, so I can't compare any of Moulfang's other releases to it... I haven't picked up a bad Moulfang release (well... I didn't like the Move D/Namlook collaborations much). The Move D stuff I have has a nice early Warp sound with repetitive beats and strange bleeps. Reminds me of RAC or early ambient Aphex. DSN "Big Rooms" is a classic. Lush melodies and nice beats. A must buy IMO - essential. Moulfang and Namlook's Koolfang releases are great too. Soulful, borderline house music, with lots of jazzy guitar and deep bass. They get panned a lot, but I think they are some of the best FAX releases. "Traffic", DSN Live, is a nice ambient session that's a little more experimental than the other DSN releases I have. The noodling isn't annoying though and the tunes are still very melodic. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch. MC
