In a place teetering on the edge of the continent... they have achieved critical mass." Mindspore.com, 1998

    Written-By, Producer - Charles Askell, Jeff Hogan
    - Alerbaran is Charles Askell, who now resides in Paris. Recorded and produced in LA by KCRW engineer Jeff Hogan, this track is a mingling of West Coast electronica and Euro-ambient styles resulting in a distinct cosmopolitan sound.

    Written-By - Carlos Vasquez
    - A celebration of urban rhythmic diversity unfolds in the oscillations of this high energy bpm techno-rollercoaster. Twist Top has recordings out on Industrial Strength Records, Fast Food, Tribal America, and Yoshi Toshi Records.

    Written-By - Oversoul 7

I wish you all could've been at release party K2K had at the El Rey Theatre. Show of the century! All the bands on the disc were friends, and we played the whole night like a DJ set.

    For more music similar to this, I recommend the following:
    Amon Tobin/Cujo (same person, different "stage names").
    Supreme Beings of Leisure
    The compilation album Wallpaper Mach 1.5
    The Hotel Costes compilation albums
    The music used in Gran Turismo Sport (specifically those from Lenny Ibizarre and Kay Nakayama).
    The OST for the game "TOCA Racer Driver 3"
    Dzihan & Kamien (specifically the album "Gran Riserva").
    Afternoons in Stereo
    Audio Lotion
    Beats Antique (specifically the albums "Contraption" volumes 1 and 2).
    One-T (album "The One-T ODC", absolutely astounding).
    Dadamnphreaknoizphunk (yes that is actually the artist's name).
    Moodorama (specifically the album "My Name is Madness").
    Bonobo (specifically the album "Dial 'M' for Monkey").
    TOKiMONSTA (specifically the album "Midnight Menu").
    Emancipator (specifically the album "Baralku").
    Röyksopp (specifically the album "Melody A.M.").
    The Pinker Tones
    The Chemical Brothers (specifically the album "Push the Button").
    Thievery Corporation (very similar to Supreme Beings of Leisure, both used gratuitously in the early "Tiger Woods PGA Tour" golf games).
    RJD2
    Xploding Plastix
    Cut Chemist
    Peder (a song from the album "And he just pointed to the sky..." was used in Breaking Bad)
    Faithless (albums "Outrospective", "Reverence" and "Sunday 8PM").
    Gotye (albums "Like drawing blood" and "Boardface" (no longer available online likely due to sample copyright)).
    Hexstatic (album "Telemetron").
    Mr. Scruff (album "Trouser Jazz").
    The OSTs for the N64 games "Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA" and "Rush: 2049"
    The OSTs for the Trackmania games (specifically "Valley", "Canyon" and "Stadium").
    The OSTs for the "Grid" games from Codemasters (specifically the original, 2 and Autosport).
    The OSTs for the F1 games from Codemasters (specifically 2012, and 2015 through 2017).
    The OST for the GameCube game "F-Zero GX".
    The OSTs for Forza Motorsport 3, 4 and 6 (3 and 4 very much fall into the category of lounge/spa music, 6 is a bit more intense/orchestral).

      I think because the main music composer of silent hill, Akira Yamaoka, was heavily influenced by groups like Portishead and Massive Attack. And those two groups can be seen as trip hop, which this album has a similar vibe to.

    I was born in 1984, and even of I can't clearly remember my teens years, listening to this genre brings me back to that sort of spiritual feeling of living in a futuristic world.
    Artists like Massive Attack, Aphex, Plug a.k.a. Luke Vibert, Kruder&Durfmeinster, Tosca, Zero7, Royksopp and all the others less known guys who contributed into developing this unique musical and ahestetic movement changed the prospective of so many people lives probably without even realizing..

    This is great! Mindspore was my record label, and this and the Cavestar album were the best that we put out. I still have enormous pride in what we did here. My favorite song on this album is L'Orque Epaulard (Killer Whale). I also really love Unsaid Warning and the lines: "are you running with your eyes closed... are you talking with your mind closed" "And now you say there's a devil flying through your head - and it looks like me". I will always appreciate the work that Kevin (Cavestar) did to put together the art and the whole package.
