Stars of the Lid, but sped up. Some tracks remind me of William Orbit - Hello Waveforms. Minimal and sophisticated at the same time. This would be a good choice to help you get through a hangover, because it's engaging but never dominating.

The music is spacey and organic at the same time, warm and pulsating – lounge music for otherworlds, easy listening for aliens.

What a great album, deep, sophisticated, it continues on what started with Cirque! I wish it was issued in double heavy vinyl for audiophiles who don't compromise with anything less than the black stuff!!!

This is one of Biosphere's most sophisticated albums.
The whole album is a story, unmasking it's beauty and hidden qualities through emotional and creative adventures such as 'People are friends' (one of my most favourite tracks) and 'Dissolving Clouds' which are the two top songs on the album.
In contrast between 'Dropsonde' and 'Substrata', this album definitely has the upper hand. While the quite, abstract and minimal sounds of 'Substrata' are excellent, 'Dropsonde' is much stronger and more emotional then any of his other works.
This is an album ambient fans cannot miss. 5/5

This Biosphere's work is wonderful. Although the sound landscapes are close to his previous releases , I think that this one is less experimental. This fact doesn't mean that its of a lower quality. The production is very sophisticated and mature.
As stated in a comment of the LP release the smooth jazzy drums is something new to Biospheres productions that makes this release more 'appropriate' for a wider range of listeners.
