i'd be neterested to hear news from anyone on NF8, if it existed beyond this release. i've always enjoyed milieu's output, including the stuff he's submitted to project168! and i think i saw something over @ experimedia about him quitting, or not quitting, or changing aliases, or something. enough lore. nimbus, pileus, and trobos are all great tracks that live up to the enviornment/setting noun and then some. tropos is the most tripped out, fans of coil's dancier material will dig right into this ... washy textures for a smooth bass to funk around on. the beat is solid and dance-floor-able but a far cry from tedious 909/808 techno brainbore, mostly processed organic sounds. yum. the other two tracks i mentioned have a similar drum kit, proccessed acoustics. nimbus adds a goofy edge to everything enjoyable about trobos, it's fun. pileus drops the fuzzy pads for some harmonic stabs, the result is a very clean and open space, you're up in the clouds instead of drudging around on mushrooms in mud. think select ambient works by aphex twin, but even more amiga-y ... i think i love this track so much because it reminds me of the name-entry ch00n in LEANDER by 4mat (published by psygnosis on amiga and genesis). a few more gems from milieu, where ever he is now ;) nf8, the mystery among enigmas 5 gape arson 2006-06-15 23:17:03 2006-06-15 23:17:03 Awesome review! Milieu is top! I just got an email saying that there was a review here. I started this label with high hopes at the time but haven't updated it since the first three releases. http://milieu.experimedia.net/ is his homepage. He released a few cdrs overseas on the ucover label. He also has a store http://milieu.ropeswingcities.com/order.html where the cds are handlabeled.
