to all biosphere fans i just got cirque today and its brilliant somebody mentioned a while ago that its going to be difficult for jenssen to do a record as good as substrata
i think this is even better so if you like biosphere i highly recommend cirque

I think it will be impossible to top THE WORLDS best ambient cd which is substrata. It had so much emotion / landscape in it. Incredible. Do you have Cirque downloaded? If you do can i get it off you?

substrata is my favourite ambient cd as well but cirque is at least as substrata in fact i liked subtrata so much i bought every record by jenssen i could found-so now i think i have every official album jenssen released as biosphere
i have cirque on cd, but if u want i can transform tracks into mp3's
but its going to take a while

yeah, it's biodome!
anyway, personally, i also prefer cirque to substrata. ive been listening to shenzou on mp3, and im thinking of buying the album. biosphere is the god of ambient, along with aphex's saw2.

im not sure biosphere is the god of ambient...maybe the jesus...but brian eno will always be the ambient god
his 'man with a movie camera' on the 2 disc substrata is also rather nice

I have them both and I'm going to have to say that Substrata still comes out on top. It's a more cohesive piece that flows beautifully from track to track - pure ambient bliss.
On Cirque, tracks like "When I Leave" and "Algae and Fungi" disrupt the ambient proceedings. Still good just not pure ambient.
Substrata is still #1 in my books.

is substrata something you'd reccommend to someone who isn't really into ambient? What I mean is, I'm not a huge fan of ambient, but have heard good things about this and have been interested in checking it out... should I?

well, it's one of best ambient albums around, but if you're not into ambient it probably won't mean much to you. although, i think this record got me into ambient, so it might do the same to you...amn i bought hundreds of ambient albums since then :)
if you're going to get it, get the 2cd version with additional disk "man with a movie camera".

Bioshpere had a collaboration with Deathprod on the album, Nordheim Transformed. Very stark album. Then there's his newest, Autour de la Lune. The most minimal thing he's ever done.

im listening to "autour de la lune"...it's extremly minimalistic, actually if it was more minimalistic there would be no sound :)
the first track sounds good though...and it's 21 minutes long!
overall, very minimalistic and dark.

Yes, I noticed. The first and the last track sound similar and I couldn't hear "Disparu" at all on the computerspeakers... not the best way to listen to this album I must admit :)
I listened to the first track through my headphones and my head was still vibrating from it long after I finished listening

heh, yes, "disparu" is very speaker demanding...hmm, must turm my volume way up to hear it properly :)
mertens, you're probably thinking of "invesrse"...it has that bass rumblings and then by the end some "space" sound is added.
i bet this album would sound great in some ice cave somewhere in north pole :)

Shenzhou was the first one I heard, and it was one of those really refreshing records that you immediately find something in it that makes you keep listening, i listened to it almost exclusively for a few days, it's good.
I then tried substrata, and didn't like it as much, except track 03 - chukhung is a classic.
From listening to shenzhou, my favorites are 01 - shenzhou, 08 - path leading to the high grass, 09 - fast atom escape

you've got that special edition substrata, with "mand with a movie camera" additional disc? if not you can download it from me, it's just as nice as substrata imo. infact when i think substrata, i always have this 2nd disc in mind as well :)

Have any of you guys checks out Deathprod yet? He has a new album out called Morals and Dogma. I've been meaning to get Supersilent albums 5 and 6. Has anyone heard these?
