complete agreement! Thats the track that damn near makes me cry.. Im also getting into Patashnik, and like some other comments here it hit me in a similar way: First play: Man, this sucks! its SO different from Substrata. 2nd play: Wow, theres one or two really good tracks on here.. "its a MASTERPIECE, its WORTH IT!!" 3rd play and on: Damn, I really LOVE over half of this stuff! and now I want more.. can anyone recommend another Biosphere album if I love Substrata and Patashnik grew on me quickly?

You should try to get your hands on "Nordheim transformed", which is a remix collaboration between Deathprod (Helge Steen) and Biosphere, remixing an old album by the in/famous norwegian composer Arne Nordheim. The album is very lush and ambient, very, very good! The album was officially released at their concert in Oslo cathedral (the concert was great), and is readily available in norwegian shops (don't know about foreign shops). You can order two editions of this great ambient album, either directly from the label http://www.runegrammofon.com or from Beatservice mailorder http://www.beatservice.no The difference between the two editions is that one includes the original CD by Arne Nordheim himself. If you've never heard about Deathprod, you should try to get your hands on some of his releases (might prove difficult out of Norway). Sidenote: If you know how Arne Nordheim is, then hear this. He's supposed to have commented on the remixes: "Finally someone who understand me" :D :D :D -- Christian Stigen Larsen -- http://www.sublevel3.org chrisl@stud.ntnu.no http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~chrisl/

Actually I would disagree with this...microgravity is the least 'ambient' of all the albums (although the last track is excellent). I would get either the album Insomnia next or the collaboration with Higher Intelligence Agency "Polar Sequences". These both fit much more in line with Substrata and the ambient bits of Patashnik than Microgravity does...although you may find Polar Sequences hard to find now...(if you do see it ever, anywhere, grab it immediately, it's one of the best ambient albums i've heard). -- Ben Coffer http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
