RE: WBL "Traditional Synthetic Cuisine"

Gave it a listen the other day.  On the whole, I think it's quite well done and
interesting.  The analog synths give the sounds a different, more organic feel,
than what I've heard before.  I especially liked track 2.  The progression of
sounds and layering is well done, and I liked the distorted effects on the
second track.

I'm not a huge ambient fan, though, so I can't give you that much feedback in
comparison to other bands.  I did like it a lot better than the RMI Mind/Body CD 
compilation, though.  It seems that your material has a different feel than a 
lot of the material on the RMI Mind CD, which seems to be a rehash of old ideas.

Although you probably are trying avoid obvious beats/rhythms, I think that some
of the material would be great mixed into an ambient/dance type sound, with a
little added baseline and slow rhythm.  This is probably exactly opposite of
what you're trying to achieve, but this is my personal taste... ;-)

Later.
