yes, quite a few times...no he does not explore "new territory", but does he really have to? hes building and expanding on themes and melodies that youve all heard before in various encarnations...from low key semi beaty stuff a-la-"discreet music" to beautiful flowing ambient a-la "apollo" to abstract piano noodlings...its not the great march march forward, but it firmly entrenches him as one of the better (best?) providers of satisfying music...im not disappointed at all... tom w sp: drexciya - the quest (disc 2)
