Substrata

voidoctopus This album reaches the peak of what ambient music has the capacity to evoke. I don't think it's possible for an ambient project to create a more profoundly transcendental experience, or a more refined and deeply complex atmosphere. Favorite track: Sphere Of No-Form.

Timpy One of the first ambient records I ever heard and remains a high bar other records are compared to. It's a classic that will have a home in any ambient-lover's collection. Favorite track: Hyperborea.

Gunnison6610 I have myself returning to this album quite often. I adore the cold and barren atmospheres of all of it. A true classic of the ambient genre :) Favorite track: The Silent Orchestra.

about

David Stubbs, Melody Maker, 1997: "The best ambient album I've heard in an ice age, an album of terrifying, desolate and all-enveloping beauty."

CD1 is a remastered version of the original Substrata (ASCD33) on All Saints Records.
Digital editing assistance at Aurora Lydstudio. Additional EQ's at Strype Audio. Remastered on 4 April 2001.

CD2 contains Biosphere's soundtrack to the Russian silent movie 'Man With A Movie Camera', in collaboration with Per Martinsen aka Mental Overdrive, two bonus tracks from the Japanese version of Substrata (FLCP 1009) on For Life Records/Paradise Island, 'The Eye Of The Cyclone' and 'Endurium', plus the commissioned work Laika.
Mastered @ Country.
