Emerging Transparency play sample

 

Radio Format- RPM, IDM, College, Ambient/Electronic, Space

Starts with an ambient drone that soon reveals sequenced ostinato and counterpoint phrases, driving drums, and vintage synth melody lines. Combs originally composed this piece at the 2007 Different Skies music festival, where it saw its live debut. This studio version contains several elements of the original, but has been rearranged with extended themes. Slow fade. Length- 7:52


 

Erase Yourself play sample

An instrumental synthpop tune, with a wink and a nod to Vince Clarke. Length- 5:53


 

Fifty Light Years From Home play sample

 

Radio Format- RPM, IDM, College, Ambient/Electronic, Space

Begins in spacey ambient sounds with a chorale of bells, evolves into more symphonic tones and saxophones, and then devolves into a beat-heavy, ring modulated, electronic quagmire. Slow fade. Length- 10:20


 

Bazaar Behavior play sample

 

Radio Format- RPM, IDM, College, Ambient/Electronic, Jazz, Space

A world-beat, jazz-dub, fusion-rock number with lots of ethnic percussion, Otso’s tasty guitar/synth and Brian’s soprano sax work. Length- 11:01


 

Luck Of The Draw play sample

 

Radio Format- RPM, IDM, New Wave, College, Chillout, Ambient/Electronic, Drums'n'bass

Another instrumental synthpop homage, drawing its influence from the darker side of the genre. Length- 7:32


 

Tanzen Filter play sample

 

Radio Format- RPM, IDM, College, Chillout, Ambient/Electronic, Jazz, Drums'n'bass

A dance tune that tries to decide whether it’s leaning toward Miami, New Orleans, or Detroit. Length- 11:50
