dunno what to think of this one really. i like it but i very rarely listen to it and i've only once sat through the entire cd. i know this is a rather banal thing to say, but IMO about 20 mins could've been snipped out of it..

ordered some records with a friend from http://www.decks.de

serious sound design biz

this is nice too...

smooth more or less. i think the record is more about piercing the concept of 'music' than actually piercing the listener's ears..

what's your opinion on Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon then? do you think that's also too long?

haven't heard it

don't get me wrong, it's not the idea of lengthy soundscapes with no actual hooks that puts me off, just that this one didn't quite cut the mustard for its length. it's still not bad though!

I wasnt that impressed with this release, compared to the two you already have. You should check out Biosphere aswell if you haven't already.

monolake created ableton live, so... yeah. MUCH APPRECIATION IS DUE!

thanks for the suggestion but im already quite familiar with Biosphere

Quality stuff aswell!

try the 'gravity' mix here by the way: http://sound.modelfruit.com/

from 55 minutes in to 1:04, it's basically what amounts to drum and bass.

appreciated
