Since I'm more old school ambient (beginning in the 70's, but focusing on the 90's), I had noticed that many of the really good/great ambient releases of the 90's were in fact side projects of the more commercially viable "techno" artists of the time. One paid the rent, the other the soul. Several of my artist picks can probably be traced back to their more dance floor roots. That Biosphere album definitely changed course and sort of redefined his musical persona. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with his body of work to know if it was a career move or a flash-in-the-pan.Quoting D_Davis (view post)
