If you can get a hold of it, Hannant released a DJ-friendly LP of
Texturology on GPR. It contains 10 different tracks than the
regular release and the tracks are more beat-oriented than the
usual ambient-techno style Hannant is best known for. My favorite track
to use is 'Iannamarou'. Seek it out asap!
