Substrata is like the more ambient tracks on Patashnik. There don't seem to be any drum machines at all, although it's sometimes rhythmic enough that you can pick out a tempo in several tracks. Definitely not dance music, intelligent or otherwise. You can tell it's Biosphere -- same thick, dark yet warm production quality. I like about 50% of it a lot, 30% of it a little, and 1 or 2 tracks I could do without. I was lukewarm on the whole thing at first, but it grew on me. - Mike ______________________________________________________________________ Mike Brown / Hyperreal | Director, Hyperreal Music Archive PO Box 61334 | http://www.hyperreal.org/music/ Denver CO 80206-8334 USA |
