no idea if someone's brought this up yet as i haven't
been able to keep up with the digests lately, but
biosphere's "substrata" was just reissued on touch
records. the original came out domestically on
thirsty ear a few years back, and still gets constant
play on my stereo as one of the best ambient albums
i've ever heard. maybe it's just the particular mood
that this one evokes, i dunno - but it's right on the
money for me. mainly wanted to give the list the
heads-up in case any old-timers missed this one or
there were newbies looking for a great ambient album.
extra added bonus - the touch reissue comes as a
double cd with new packaging - the second disc has two
tracks included on the japanese release of "substrata"
that i've never heard before and a seven-track score
to dziga vertov's "man with a movie camera."
apparently a film festival commissioned geir jennsen,
aka biosphere to create a score based on vertov's
original written instructions for musical
accompaniment. i haven't listened to disc two yet,
but the rerelease of substrata alone is enough to make
this one worth your time...
just tossing it out there, hope someone benefits from
this one! - brock
