"Stefan Betke will be mastering the vinyl edition of Substrata."

Some other goodies on his wall as well.

Someone posted this a few days ago:

He's also currently participating on a benefit album for Japan if you haven't already clicked Tauhid's link.

Some big names on there.

It's about time Substrata gets pressed on vinyl. Will it be released on Touch?

It's about time he released a new album.

99.99% sure it will be.

Ambient on vinyl. not really any point. theres a reason most ambient sticks to CD, cause it doesn't dirty up.

How about some new material instead.

hell yeah

One of his best. The Major Briggs sample makes it even more win.

slightly off topic, but, is the Man With A Movie Camera release considered to be good? I'm thinking about getting the Substrata that has it as a second cd. no vinyl for me.

I thought it was amazing; both it and Substrata were very capturing, the way he portrayed humanity amidst industrialization and modernization (Freeze-Frames, for example; hear it beside the film first) in his production was very eye opening

it was also the first thing I'd heard by him so I don't have any point of reference and im also not too well versed in this kind of music

It's great. It also contains the two tracks that came with the Japanese version of Substrata. It's also well designed/packaged:

haha, yeah. it reminds when I used to collect comics and they were always embossing the covers with silver and doing some die-cut stuff to the cover and then doubling the price.

Out soon on his Biophon label.

Up for pre-order. First 1000 copies for each are signed.

Not very affordable for us US folk .

Placed an order... Does anyone know if the bonus track is from Substrata era?

He didn't say when he posted the information. I assume it is though. The ones that were included in the Substrata 2CD set were from that era.

Well that's fucking expensive.
