Anyone else have this? Listening to AI2 yesterday made me pull out a couple of other "older" ambient techno albums from the pioneering days of electronica (Ehh, 1995). Higher Intelligence Agency's Freefloater might just be one of the best album of it's kind. With it's pure synthetic - and awesome - sound, slow beats, deep bass and lush arrangements it's a journey I'm happy to have rediscovered. I think I'll keep this in my car for the next couple of days. Really nice music for cruising... Their debut album - Colorform - was also nice but they really peaked with Freefloater. Most tracks mix well with Autechre's "Clipper" from Tri Repetea. |

I love Biospheres older stuff like Patashnik and Microgravity. He did atleast 1 or 2 things with HIA in the later years. |

True! They did two albums together; "Polar Sequences" and "Bermingham Sequences". Patashnik is classic! Both Biosphere and HIA have that strong emphasis on 'sound' that makes their music big and awesome. |

I love the old stuff from many ambient and electro artists... old ORB, Orbital, Aphex, autechre, squarepusher, uziq, biosphere (although the new stuff is awesome), lustmord etc etc etc |

Yes I know, but speak for yorself, mate! According to your profile you're only one year younger than me! Besides, I think the average user has aged a bit since the start of xltronic... How old is this site now anyway? I've been a member for at least 7 years..... (!) |

I only have with HIA. This compilation is excellent, don't believe the critic. It is true that 'Soufie' is awesome. Very beautiful track by Banco de gaia. He never released anything even close to as good as 'Soufie' again, so don't bother downloading everything by him. |

Nice! I guess that would be Colourform and Freefloater. How does your turntable and audiosystem perform on the last track on Colourform - ketamine entity - with that incredibly punching deep bass? |

HIA had a guitarist called chandrasonic, who went on to form ADF who are wicked |
||||||||
|
