Microgravity is "generic"? Whoa there. That's probably the last term I would
use to describe it. It's a very finely crafted piece of work and is
overflowing with gorgeous melodies. It is much more techno based and if you
don't like beats maybe you can't get into it but that doesn't make it
generic. I've heard generic techno and Microgravity is not it. Microgravity
is a reference disc for the "ambient/techno" genre IMO. Patashnik is in a
similar vein and is really good too but from start to finish it's not quite
on par with Microgravity.
